Cleaning the print cartridge area

You do not need to clean the print cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can improve the quality of your printed sheets. During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean the print cartridge area and the printer media path.

To clean the print cartridge area

WARNING!

Wait for the printer to cool before beginning this procedure.

1Before cleaning the printer, turn the printer off by unplugging the power cord.

Note

If you have a 220V product, turn off the power switch.

2Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.

CAUTION

To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge if necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage the printer.

3With a dry, lint-free cloth, or an HP toner cloth (part number 5090-3379), wipe any residue from the media path area and the print cartridge cavity.

4Replace the print cartridge, and close the print cartridge door.

5Plug the printer in to turn it back on. If you have a 220V product, turn on the power switch.

Note

Do not spray or use water inside the printer.

Note

If toner gets on your clothing or other fabric, wipe off the toner with a dry cloth. Wash the items in cold water and air dry.

CAUTION

Hot water or heat from a dryer can set toner into fabric.
