Cleaning the OPC Belt Cartridge
s
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.
» Note:
A dry cotton cloth is required for this procedure.
1 Turn off and unplug the printer.
2 Open the printer’s front and top covers, release the OPC belt
cartridge lock levers, and remove the OPC belt cartridge.
3 Using a dry cotton cloth, clean
any toner buildup from around
the cleaning blade.
s
Caution:
Don’t touch the edge
of the cleaning blade.
4 Clean any paper dust and
toner buildup found on the
OPC belt cartridge itself.
s
Caution: Handle the cartridge carefully. The belt is very sensitive
to hand oils and scratches, both of which reduce print quality.
