Cleaning the OPC Belt Cartridge
Caution
:
The OPC belt is extremely sensitive to touch. Always handle the cartridge so
you don’t touch the surface of the belt. Any body oil left on the surface of the belt will
prevent toner from adhering to the belt which results in poor image quality. Also, keep
the cartridge away from anything that may scratch the surface of the belt. Any
scratches will show in the image produced.
The OPC belt is also extremely sensitive to bright light and direct sunlight. Always
leave it in its protective bag until you are ready to install it. Any exposure to light
should be limited to two minutes. If you suspect the belt is damaged due to exposure
to light, put the belt in a dark place to recover. Depending on the amount of exposure,
recovery may take up to two hours. Recovery time is dependent on the amount of
exposure sustained. Recovery is not guaranteed.
1 Turn off and unplug the printer.
Caution:
If you have a duplex unit installed, make sure you have opened the duplex
unit top cover before completing the following step. Forced opening of the printer’s top
cover first may damage the unit.
2 Open the top cover.
»Note:
The illustrations for step 3 and
step 4 show the printer without the
duplex unit. However, the instructions are
the same for all models.
3 Open the printer’s front cover, release
the OPC belt cartridge lock levers, and
remove the OPC belt cartridge.
