Cleaning procedures
Cleaning the toner cartridge area
With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the paper path area and the toner cartridge
cavity.
NOTE: Cleaning the toner cartridge area is not necessary on a regular basis. Before cleaning, look
for excessive toner in the compartment.
Cleaning the printer paper path
This process uses copier-grade paper to remove dust and toner from the paper path. Do not
use bond or rough paper. Use this process if you are experiencing toner specks or dots on
printouts. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded.
1 Ensure the printer is loaded with paper.
2 Ensure the printer is in the Ready state.
3 Press and hold the GO key for 20 seconds (if released before 20 seconds the printer will
perform a reset). Paper will feed through the printer.
NOTE: After holding the GO key for 20 seconds, each of the three printer lights will blink until the
cleaning process is complete.
Cleaning the pickup roller
To clean the pickup roller rather than replace it, follow the instructions below:
1 Remove the pickup roller as described in “Changing the pickup roller.”
2 Dab a lint-free cloth in isopropyl alcohol, and then scrub the roller.
