Using the Printer Cleaning Page

If toner specks appear on the front or back side of your print jobs, follow the procedure below.

From the printer’s control panel, do the following:

1 Press [Menu] until PRINT QUALITY MENU appears.

2 Press [Item] until CREATE CLEANING PAGE appears.

3 Press [Select] to create the cleaning page.

4 Follow the instructions on the cleaning page to complete the cleaning process.

Note

In order for the cleaning page to work properly, print the page on

 

copier grade paper (not bond or rough paper).

 

 

You might need to create a cleaning page more than once. When toner has been cleaned from inside the printer, shiny black spots will appear on the page’s black strip. If white spots appear on the black strip, create a cleaning page again.

To ensure good print quality with certain types of paper, use the cleaning page every time the print cartridge is replaced. If the cleaning page is frequently needed, try a different type of paper.
