Samsung ML-1200 Series manual Cleaning the Printer, Cleaning the Outside, Cleaning the Inside

Cleaning the Printer

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

Notes:

•Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner on or around the printer. These can damage the printer.

•While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Cleaning the Outside

Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint- free cloth.

Cleaning the Inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems such as toner specs or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Cleaning inside the printer

Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the printer.

1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the printer to cool.

2Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge.

3With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
