Maintenance

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

NOTE:

Do not touch the transfer roller located under the toner cartridge when cleaning inside the

printer. Oil from your fingers may cause print quality problems.

CAUTION:

Cleaning solvents that contain alcohol or other strong substances may discolor or

crack the printer cabinet.

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the printer cabinet with a soft, damp, and lint-free cloth. Do not let water drip onto

the printer or inside the printer.

Cleaning the Interior

Paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and cause print quality

problems, such as smearing or toner specks. Clean inside the printer to prevent these

problems.

1 Power the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait approximately 10 minutes for the

printer to cool down.

2 Open the front cover.
