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. Using the handle, completely open the front cover. • Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this area. • Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer belt. • If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes, the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause damage to the OPC drum. Close the front cover should the installation need to be halted for any reason.
