Regular Printer Maintenance
Your printer is designed to need very little ongoing
maintenance other than the replacement of maintenance
items as they reach their end of use. It is recommended
that maintenance items be replaced when the end of use
warnings appear on the Control Panel to avoid untimely
image quality problems. However, it is always good
practice to periodically clean any loose toner or foreign
matter in your printer.

Cleaning the Printer

For best results, clean the outside of the printer with a
damp cloth. Do not use detergents.
When replacing the laser print cartridge or components of
the maintenance kit, check the inside of the printer.
Remove any paper scraps and wipe off paper dust using a
dry, clean cloth.
For optimum performance:
• Keep the printer out of direct sunlight. Faded images, light
areas or dark bands may result.
• 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.

Power off the printer before cleaning.
