, the printer displays the following message:
Warming Up

7. After a short delay during the warm-up period, the printer begins an
automatic sequence of feeding 10 clean sheets of paper from the upper
media tray.
A front panel message indicates the number of sheets remaining to be
fed. For example:
Cleaning:Using 10 Sheets
Caution
Always use clean sheets of paper to clean the paper path. Do not
reuse cleaning sheets. High-grade paper heavier than 28 lbs. works
best.
8. When the cleaning sequence is complete, inspect the last sheet of
paper fed through the printer. If it is not clean, repeat the cleaning
sequence by pressing the
Clean
button once again.
9. Return the printer to normal operation by pressing the Exit button.
If the ink smears problem persists after running clean sheets of paper
through the paper path, refer to the following two procedures for
directions on cleaning paper feed rollers and the paper exit path
Cleaning for jams and ink smears: media feed rollers
You should clean the upper and lower media feed rollers if any of the following
conditions exist:
■
Media is consistently jamming behind the front cover or at the manual
feed slot.
■
Ink smear problems persist after you have performed the “Cleaning
for ink smears: internal paper path” procedure.
The media feed rollers carry the print media from the media tray and manual
feed slot through the printer. Occasionally, stray ink particles become attached
to the paper feed rollers creating slick or contaminated surfaces. When media
feed problems or ink smears appear on prints, you can generally correct the
problem by cleaning the media feed rollers using an alcohol-soaked cleaning
card.
