Replacing the Toner Cartridge

If the print remains light after redistributing the toner (see

page 5.3), replace the toner cartridge.

Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See

“Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.4.

Cleaning the Printer

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality

problems occur.

N

OTES

:

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch

the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). Oil

from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants containing

large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances

can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the Outside

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 the printer or inside of it.

Cleaning the Inside

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. Cleaning

the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Cleaning inside the printer
