Cleaning for ink smears and transfix problems: internal paper path

Approximate time to complete: 3-6 minutes

If your prints have stray ink marks on the front or the back, or the media is wrapping around the black transfix roller inside the exit cover, you can correct the problem by cleaning the printer’s internal paper path surfaces. The printer automatically feeds 10 sheets of paper through the print path to collect stray ink particles when you run the Clean:Ink Smears routine from the front panel.

Sample ink smear: internal paper path

9101-63

Caution Always use clean sheets of paper to clean the paper path. Do not reuse cleaning sheets. High-grade, heavier papers, such as 32 lbs. (120 g/m2) Bond, works best.

Do not attempt duplex (two-sided) printing on any type of media. Ink already present on the media offsets onto the internal paper path, requiring you to perform cleaning procedures.
