NOTE: 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.

Paper will feed through the printer. After holding the GO key for 20 seconds, each of the three printer lights will blink until the cleaning process is complete.
