CLEANING YOUR PRINTER

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time

the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen

the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or

into the printer.

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate

inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as
toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the printer clears or

reduces these problems.
1. Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to

cool down.

2. Press the release button, completely open the front cover.

3. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the

cartridge from the printer.

4. Pull the waste toner container out of the printer using its handle.

Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

If your printer or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we

recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown into the air may

be harmful.
