Printing a cleaning sheet If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer. You can print: • OPC cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge. • Fuser cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded. 1 Make sure that the printer is turned on with paper loaded in the tray. 2 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK. 3 Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK. 4 Press the Scroll buttons until Clean Fuser or Clean Drum appears and press OK. Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it. Warning • Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame. • Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site. • If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations. • Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire. Caution • Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge out of reach of children. • If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary. • If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. • If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary. Caution • If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary. • Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. • If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible. Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute. Expected cartridge yield The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. 8.3
