Cleaning the printer
Clean the outside of the printer with a clean, damp cloth when necessary.
CAUTION
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the printer.
During the printing process, media, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the
printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or
smearing, and paper jams. To correct and prevent these types of problems, you can clean
the print cartridge area and the printer media path.
Cleaning the print cartridge area
You do not need to clean the print cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can
improve the quality of your printed sheets.
1. Turn the printer off, and then unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to cool.
CAUTION
To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge if
necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so,
you can damage the printer.
2. Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.
