3. Maintenance
Cleaning the machine
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a
dusty enviroment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep
it in the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning
materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or
other strong substances can discolor or distort the
cabinet.
• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated
with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue
dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum
cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to
you.

Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the
cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto
or into the machine.
3
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 and reduces these problems.
1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the
machine to cool down.
2 Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on
a clean flat surface.
