6.4Cleaning the printer to ensure good print quality and reliable media feed

Note: It is important when following this section to start at the beginning and read and follow it all the way through. Throughout this section it is recommended for users to only use a clean dry lint free cotton cloth to clean parts. Ensure that you do not breathe in toner particles when cleaning and if toner comes into contact with your skin or clothes clean off using cold water only.

Engineers only may need to use special vacuum cleaners to clean certain parts more thoroughly. These cleaners have very fine filters which ensures that toner removed from the printer is not sent back into the air. Also when vacuum cleaners are used to clean certain parts eg the transfer belt cleaner high static chargers will be generated.

Note: Ensure that the printer is powered off before cleaning.

Print quality check list

Below are pictures which illustrate the items to check in order to maintain and produce good print quality. Use these together with the information given above.

If a sheet is printed with colored vertical stripes or color unevenness, clean the charging unit of the belt cartridge.

Notes on replacing the belt cartridge

zDo not touch the photosensitive belt.

zThe photosensitive belt is very sensitive to light. If this belt is exposed to light of no less than 800 lux for no less than 2 minutes, it deteriorates, caus- ing troubles in the images printed. Pay attention not to expose the belt car- tridge to light wherever possible.
