Cleaning the Printer
During the printing process, particles of paper, toner, and dust
can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this build-up can
cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing.
Your printer has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent
these types of problems.
Cleaning the Outside of the Printer
Clean the printer cabinet with a soft lint-free cloth. You can
dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let
any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.

AUTION
: Cleaning the printer cabinet with cleaners
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Cleaning the Inside of the Printer

to touch the transfer roller. Oil from your fingers can cause
print quality problems.

• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum, on the front
of each toner cartridge with your hands or any other
material. Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid
touching this area.

belt.
