Stop button on the CLEANING YOUR PRINTER To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. • Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet. • If your printer 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. 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 or into the printer. 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 clears or reduces these problems. 1. Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer to cool down. 2. Press the release button, completely open the front cover. 3. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge from the printer. 4. Pull the waste toner container out of the printer using its handle. 24 | Maintenance
