78 Chapter 3 Managing and maintaining the printer ENWW
Cleaning the paper path and print-cartridge areas
Over time, particles of toner and paper accumulate inside the printer.
This can cause print-quality problems during printing. Cleaning the
printer eliminates or reduces these problems.
To clean the inside of the printer
1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.
2 Open the top cover.
3 Remove the print cartridge.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Be careful not to touch the transfer roller (the black, rubber roller located
underneath the print cartridge). Skin oils on the roller can cause
print-quality problems.
4 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the paper path area
and the print cartridge cavity.
5 Reinstall the print cartridge and close the top cover.
Note
If the print cartridge is difficult to reinstall, make sure that the registration
plate has been flipped back down into position and that you have
pushed the print cartridge firmly in place.
6 Plug in the power cable and turn the printer on.
