General Tips for Extending Printer Life
■ Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
■ Keep the output levels in the top cover at 150 sheets or less,
depending upon the type of media.
If media stacks too high, you may experience trouble with
paper jams and excessive curl.
■ If you are not going to use the printer for an extended
period of time unplug the power cord from the power
source outlet and close the manual feed tray.
Cleaning the Printer
When cleaning the printer, follow these guidelines:
■ Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure
to follow any instructions contained in them.
■ Use a lint-free cloth dampened with a mild general cleaner
on the exterior of the printer; do not use any organic
solvent, such as thinner or benzene, as these can cause
discoloration, alteration, spots on the transfer drum, or
other problems.
■ Use only lint-free paper towels, cloths, or swabs.
■ After cleaning, allow all parts to dry before closing the
printer, reattaching the power cord, and turning on the
power switch.
■ Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced
before reconnecting the power cord and turning on the
printer.
