Cleaning the Printer
To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
Notes:
•Do not use
•While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). 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. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be 5 careful not to let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.
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
1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the printer to cool.
2Open the front cover. Push down the toner cartridge and remove it from the printer.
