Cleaning the printer
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Your printer has a cleaning
mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.
Cleaning the outside of the printer
Clean the cabinet of the printer 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 printer.
Caution
If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner,
we recommend you to use a cloth or tissue dampened with
water to clean it. Toner blown into the air by a vacuum cleaner
maybe harmful.
Caution
Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:
• Clean the inside manually.
