Cleaning the print-cartridge area
You do not need to clean the print-cartridge area often. However, cleaning this area can
improve the quality of your printed sheets. During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust
particles can accumulate inside the device. Over time, this buildup can cause print-quality
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. To correct and prevent these types of problems,
you can clean the print-cartridge area and the media path.
To clean the print-cartridge area
WARNING! Wait for the device to cool before beginning this procedure.
1. Before cleaning the device, turn the device off and unplug the power cord.
2. Open the print-cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.
CAUTION To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover the print cartridge, if
necessary. Also, do not touch the black sponge transfer roller inside the device. By doing so,
you can damage the device.
3. Use a dry, lint-free cloth, or an HP toner cloth (part number 5090-3379) to wipe any
residue from the media-path area and the print-cartridge cavity.
