Removing Stray Toner
During removal or replacement of various consumable parts, toner occasionally spills onto the
printer interior or exterior.
• Do not attempt to clean up spilled toner with water or any other fluid, as this can harm the
developer, toner, and printer mechanism.
• Use a vacuum cleaner especially designed for trapping toner particles. Regular vacuum
cleaners cannot trap the fine toner particles and will exhaust them back into the air. If you
are unsure which vacuum cleaner to use, consult your service representative.
Toner Hopper Area
To clean the toner hopper area, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the main power switch, and open the upper right cover.
2. Use the toner vacuum to remove any toner on the upper surface of the toner hopper. Use
the supplied cleaning cloths to wipe up any toner or dust off the outside of the toner
hopper area. Clean all the way across the toner hopper area, paying careful attention to
the area in and around the toner hopper. Figure 5-1 illustrates the cleaning procedure.
