Maintenance

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan 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. Wait for the machine to

cool down.

2.

Using the handle, completely open the front cover.

3.

Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove four

cartridges from the machine.

4.

Pull the waste toner container out of the machine using its handle.

5.

Pull the imaging unit out of the machine using the groove on the front of

the imaging unit.

6.

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the

toner cartridges area and their cavities.

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.

Do not touch the green surface, the imaging unit with your hands

or any other material.

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the imaging unit

If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes, the

imaging unit can be exposed to light. This will cause damage to

the imaging unit. Close the front cover should the installation need

to be halted for any reason.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash

it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

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. If you use a vacum cleaner, toner blows into the air then

might be harmful to you.

After cleaning, let the machine to dry completely.
