CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time
the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can 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 or
reduces these problems.
1.
Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the
machine to cool down.
2.
Open the front cover.
3.
Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
4.
Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.
The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray.
•
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 its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we
recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown into the air may
be harmful.
For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the
dust cover before opening the front cover.
Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it;
for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/removing the
toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.
ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray, go to step 5.
