AINTAINING YOUR PRINTER
6.4
Cleaning the Printer
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge
is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer
free from dust and debris.
Notes:
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the
printer. These can damage the printer.
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located
underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality
problems.
Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-
free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be
careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of
it.
Cleaning the Outside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles
can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can
cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing.
Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these
problems.
Cleaning the Inside
1
Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for
the printer to cool.
2
Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.
3
With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner
from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
Cleaning inside the printer
Note: To prevent damage
to the toner cartridge, do
not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Cover it with a piece of
paper, if necessary. Also,
do not touch the black
transfer roller inside the
printer. By doing so, you
can damage the printer.
