Cleaning the printer and accessories
To maintain superior print quality and performance, thoroughly clean the printer and the paper-
handling accessories:
!
after printing approximately 10,000 pages.
!
whenever print quality problems occur.
Also, run a cleaning page every time you change the toner cartridge.
Clean the outside surfaces of the printer and accessories with a water-dampened cloth. Clean the
inside parts as indicated in table 30 on page 83. Observe the warning and caution below.
WARNING! Before beginning these steps, turn the printer off and unplug all power cords to avoid shock hazard.
Be careful when cleaning around the fusing assembly area. It might be hot.
CAUTION To avoid permanent damage to the toner cartridge, do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around
the printer.
Do not touch the transfer roller. Skin oils on the roller can cause print quality defects. If toner gets on
clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash the clothes in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
