Maintenance_ 2
CLEANING A MACHINE
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty
enviroment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep the best
printing condition and use your machine longer.
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner,
we recommend you use cloth or tissue dampened with water to
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and
might be harmful to you.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth
slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the
machine.
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate
inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as
toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and
reduces these problems.
1. Turn
the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.
2. Ope
n the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean
flat surface
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light
for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if
necessary.
•Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge.
Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
3. W
ith a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the
toner cartridge area.
While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage
the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents
such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can
occur and cause damage to the machine.
4. Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge
compartment and gently clean the glass with a swab.
5. Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.
6. Pl
ug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
