Cleaning the Printer
This section describes how to clean the printer in order to maintain it in good condition and
print clean printouts all the time.
CAUTION
• Be sure to switch off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the
machine for cleaning, maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s
interior can cause electric shock.
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the printer about once a month. Wipe the parts with a wet but
wellwrung soft cloth. Then wipe with another dry soft cloth. For stubborn stains, moisten a
soft cloth with a small amount of neutral detergent, and gently wipe the stain off.
Important
• Do not spray the detergent directly on the printer. The liquid detergent may enter the printer through a
gap and cause problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or neutral detergent.
Cleaning the Interior
After clearing paper jams or replacing the drum cartridge or toner cartridges, inspect the
inside of the printer before closing the printer covers.
CAUTION
• Never touch a labeled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. If a sheet
of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it by yourself to avoid
injuries or burns. Doing so can cause injuries or burns. Switch off the machine
immediately, and contact our Customer Support Center or your dealers.
• Remove any remaining pieces of paper.
• Remove any dust or stains with a dry clean cloth.
Cleaning the Density Sensor
When the printer’s density sensor is dirty, follow the procedure below to clean it.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the edge of the plate at the upper side of the transfer roll because it is
sharp.
