Cleaning your machine

To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality problems occur.

Caution

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

•If your machine or its around is contaminated with toner, we recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful for you.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down.

2Open the front cover and pull the imaging unit out of the machine using the handle on its bottom.

3Extend the top handle on the imaging unit and then use it to pull the imaging unit out of the machine completely.

Caution

• To prevent damage to the imaging unit, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

•Do not touch the green surface on the imaging unit with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on it to avoid touching this area.

•Be careful not to scratch the surface of the imaging unit.

4With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner.

Note

After cleaning, let the printer to dry completely.
