7.3 CLEANING THE FIXING ASSEMBLY
Transparency films may sometimes show stain problem at either the top or
bottom of the films. This problem may be caused by a dirty paper path or the
-
flaw on the EP-L cartridge. In this case, clean the fixing assembly, and
replace the EP-L cartridge if necessary. Regular cleaning of the fixing
assembly will reduce the possibility of paper jam and will prolong the life of
-
the printer. The fixing assembly can be cleaned using cleaning paper.
