Periodic Routine Maintenance

Use the cleaning brush supplied with the printer. This L-shaped tool

has two cleaning pads: one for the corona wire and the other for the
precharger wire inside the print unit. Use the pad on the shorter
branch engraved “T”.

Remove the print unit and

store it in a dark, level,
steady place. Be careful not

to damage the green drum
surface.

Using the tool

as

shown in this figure, clean

the corona wire. Fit the

positioning cut onto the wire
housing frame and gently

move the tool left and right
two or three times along the
length of the wire to remove
any dirt or other substance.

Be careful not to break or

otherwise damage the wire.

After you have cleaned the printer, install the print unit and close the

upper door.

Cleaning the Paper Guide before the Corona Wire

Perform this procedure when printouts show small spots of toner

smudging especially near the top edge of paper.

Open the upper door and

remove the print unit. Be

careful not to damage the
green drum surface. Look

for dust on the paper guide
before the corona wire. Use
a clean, lint free cloth to
gently remove any dust

from the entire surface of
the paper guide.
