Cleaning the Printer

Maintaining the printer in good operating condition is essential to having a reliable, well-running machine. The cabinet, paper path, and corotron wires should be cleaned regularly.

For optimum performance, do not place the printer near vents or dust-producing equipment. Particles in the air may enter the printer and cause failures in internal mechanisms.

Cabinet

Cleaning the Paper Path

For best results, clean the outside of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth slightly with water. Do not use detergents.

Over time, toner may get into the printer, such as from a jammed sheet of paper to which it has not been fused, from a spill during removal of the Toner Cartridge, or from moving the printer. Also, dust from paper may accumulate inside the printer, further impairing performance.

There are several places along the paper path that should be cleaned, using a lint-free cloth (slightly dampened with cleaning alcohol if necessary).

Cleaning the Manual Feed Slot

1	Remove the Manual Feed Guide from the Manual Feed slot.
2	Wipe the slot clean.
	There is a delicate media sensor lever about 1 in. (20 cm.)
	inside the right hand area of the Manual Feed Slot. Lateral
	pressure may damage this lever.
3	Re-insert the Manual Feed Guide.
