Cleaning the printer

To maintain the print quality, thoroughly clean the printer:

lEvery time you change the toner cartridge.

lAfter printing approximately 2,500 pages.

lWhenever print quality problems occur.

Clean the outside of the printer with a lightly water-dampened cloth. Clean the inside with only a dry, lint-free cloth. Observe the warnings and cautions below.

WARNING! Before you begin these steps, unplug the printer to avoid shock hazard.

When cleaning around the front door area, avoid touching the heating element. It may be HOT. (For heating element location, see Figure 6-14.)
