Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning for ink smears: paper exit path
If you have already performed the “Cleaning for ink smears” cleaning
procedure earlier but problems persist, you should manually clean the paper
exit path.
Occasionally stray ink particles become attached to the exit fingers, rollers and
guides under the exit cover causing ink streaks or marks on the top edge, front
or back of prints. When this occurs, you must clean these parts using both dry
and alcohol-soaked swabs or cloths.
Sample ink smear: paper exit path
1. Open the front cover.
2. Open the exit cover using the blue release button located inside the
front cover at the top of the printer.
3. To clean excess ink particles and drum fluid from the blue colored exit
fingers, gently wipe the top surface of each finger using a dry swab.
