IBM 1725 SLS Printer User Manual


 
To maintain sharp print quality, clean the inside of the printer at the
following times:
Every time the toner cartridge is changed
After printing 8,000 single-sided pages
Whenever print quality becomes unsatisfactory
The inside of the printer must be wiped clean of any toner residue and
paper dust. The areas requiring regular cleaning are
The anti-static teeth
The transfer-guide lock-tray (green with handle)
The transfer-guide strip (silver metal)
The media-feed-guide area (black steel)
The anti-static teeth decrease the static charge placed on each sheet
of media as it passes through the printer. This allows the media to pull
toner from the toner cartridge drum. If the anti-static teeth are dirty, too
much of the static charge remains on the media and can cause light or
missing print on pages (especially in duplex operation).
