The inside of the printer can also be cleaned without a computer; it can be performed from the

printer itself.

1. Make sure that the printer is turned on, and then remove any paper from the Auto

Sheet Feeder.

2. Press the Open Button to open the Paper Output Tray and extend the Output Tray

Extension.

3. Fold a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in half widthwise, and then unfold it.
4. Load this and only this sheet of paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder with the open side to

the front.

5. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button and release it when the POWER lamp

flashes green five times.
The paper cleans the inside of the printer as it feeds through the printer.
If the ejected paper is smudged, clean the inside of the printer again.
If the problem is not resolved after performing cleaning twice, the protrusions inside
the printer may be stained. Clean them according to instructions. See “Cleaning the
Protrusions Inside the Printer” on page 59.
