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.
