Cleaning the printer
Cleaning excess toner from the printer
Toner from the yellow, magenta, and cyan toner cartridges will accumulate on the flaps that cover the toner cartridges. Although this accumulation of toner does not cause any print defect, the excess toner needs to be cleaned from the flap occasionally. Clean the flap covering the toner cartridge and other excess toner from the printer when you are replacing toner cartridges. There is a toner cloth provided with each replacement toner cartridge to clean the toner from the printer. See the instructions included with the replacement toner cartridge for more information about cleaning the printer.
CAUTION Do not use the toner cleaning cloth on the drum, developer sleeves in the toner cartridge, or transfer rollers. Doing so can damage these units and cause other print quality problems.
If toner has built up on the toner cartridge, it may fall onto the transfer roller, which causes streaking on the media being printed. To clean the toner from the transfer roller, print several blank pages until the streaking stops.
