Cleaning for ink smears: paper-exit path
Approximate time to complete: 10 minutes
If you have already performed the ÒCleaning for ink smearsÓ cleaning
procedure but problems persist, you should clean the paper-exit path. Refer
also to ÒCleaning for jams and ink smears: media-feed rollersÓ on page 5-28.
If you have already performed the ink smear cleaning procedures for the
internal paper path and the paper feed rollers but problems persist, you
should manually clean the paper exit path.
Occasionally stray ink particles become attached to the exit Þngers, rollers
and guides under the exit cover, causing ink streaks or marks on the top
edge, front or back of prints. When this occurs, you must clean these parts
using both dry and alcohol-soaked swabs or cloths. Refer to ÒUsing
isopropyl alcoholÓ on page 5-15 for more information.
