Caring for Your Printer 5

Cleaning for ink smears and transfix problems: internal paper path

Approximate time to complete: 3-20 minutes

If your prints have oil stains, stray ink marks on the front or the back, or the media is wrapping around the transÞx roller inside the top cover, you can correct the problem by cleaning the printerÕs internal paper path. The printer automatically feeds sheets of paper through the print path when you run the Clean:Ink Smears routine from the front panel.
