5.3 Cleaning the Printer

5.3Cleaning the Printer

As discussed earlier, the following parts must be cleaned each time the toner container and waste toner box are replaced:

Main charger wire

Main charger grid

Registration roller

In addition to this, it is recommended that the main charger wire and registration roller are cleaned periodically at least once a month.

If lines, etc., appear on printed copies, the printouts appear dirty, or faint or blurred printouts are produced, clean the advanced beam array lenses.

5.3.1Cleaning the Main Charger Unit

The main charger units need to be cleaned periodically as they get contaminated with dioxide after long usage. Each main charger unit is comprised of two main parts — the wire and the grid — which should be separately as explained below.

There are 4 main charger units, one for each toner container. When performing the cleaning procedure, be sure to clean the main charger unit that corresponds to color of the toner container that was replaced. The following example explains the procedure to clean the main charger unit for the black toner container.
