Cleaning the Corona Wires
note
Clean the corona wires as needed, or each time toner is added.
The illustration with the procedure shows the developer unit removed. This is for ease of illustration only. The developer unit does not need to be removed to clean the corona wires.
The printer has two corona wires that may affect print quality. One is in the top of the OPC drum unit; the other is directly underneath it, inside the printer. If a print shows a vertical streak through the whole page (light or white), the corona wires may be dirty.
1Power off the printer and
unplug the power cord. | Brush Storage |
