Using the Printer Cleaning Page
If toner specks appear on the front or back side of your print jobs,
follow the procedure below.
From the printers control panel, do the following:
1 Press [Menu] until PRINT QUALITY MENU appears.
2 Press [Item] until CREATE CLEANING PAGE appears.
3 Press [Select] to create the cleaning page.
4 Follow the instructions on the cleaning page to complete the
cleaning process.
Note In order for the cleaning page to work properly, print the page on
copier grade paper (not bond or rough paper).
You might need to create a cleaning page more than once. When
toner has been cleaned from inside the printer, shiny black spots
will appear on the pages black strip. If white spots appear on the
black strip, create a cleaning page again.
To ensure good print quality with certain types of paper, use the
cleaning page every time the print cartridge is replaced. If the
cleaning page is frequently needed, try a different type of paper.
