HP 5100LE manual Cleaning spilled toner, Using the printer cleaning

Using the printer cleaning page

If toner specks appear on the front or back side of your print jobs, use the following procedure to print a cleaning page.

On the printer 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 and process a cleaning page more than once. When toner has been
	cleaned from inside the printer, shiny black spots 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
	toner cartridge is replaced. If the cleaning page is needed frequently, try a different type of paper.

	Cleaning spilled toner
	Defective toner cartridges can develop leaks. Also, after a paper jam has occurred, some toner
	might remain on the rollers and guides inside the printer. The pages that print immediately after
	the jam can pick up this toner.
CAUTION	Do not touch the transfer roller with the damp cloth or with your fingers.
	Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean spilled toner unless it is equipped with a microfine particle
	filter that is specifically designed for use with toner.
Note	Clean spilled toner using a cloth dampened with cold water.
