Cleaning and Transporting

Cleaning the Printer

The printer needs only minimal cleaning. If you notice a decline
in print quality, clean the inside of the printer as described in this
section.

You should also clean the MP tray and the printer case every few
months.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

Fine particles of dust can collect inside the printer, affecting print
quality. Follow the steps below to clean the inside of the printer
and the paper feeder:

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Open the printer cover by pressing the latch on the left side

of the printer and lifting the cover up all the way.

w

Warning:
Opening the printer exposes the fuser, which is marked

CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact

. Be careful not to

touch the fuser. If the printer has been in use, the fuser may
be very hot.

3. Remove the developer cartridge and the photoconductor unit

as described in “Replacing the Developer Cartridge” on page
73 and “Replacing the Photoconductor Unit” on page 80.
