Printing a Cleaning Sheet
If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts,
you can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet,
provided by your printer. You can print:
• OPC Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner
cartridge.
• Fuser Cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the
printer.
This process will produce a page with toner debris, which
should be discarded.
