This chapter describes how to handle and clean the QMS magicolor 2 DeskLaser.
Blurred or splotchy prints and paper jams can result from dusty printer parts. Regular
cleaning takes only a few minutes and helps ensure print quality. Printer parts that
require cleaning are the transfer unit, the paper discharger, and the outside surface of
the printer.
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage. Keep the
following guidelines in mind:


Don't place anything on the top of the printer.


Avoid spraying cleaning solution directly on the printer's surface; the spray could
penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits.


Be careful when cleaning the inside or removing paper jams, as the fixing assem-
bly and other internal parts become very hot. Leave the printer cover open before
handling the inside of the printer.


Don't close the covers abruptly or expose the printer to vibrations.


Don't cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off, and wait until it cools
down.


Don't leave the printer open for any length of time, especially in well-lit places;
light may damage the toner cartridge and OPC belt.


Don't open the printer during printing and do not tap paper stacks on the printer.


Don't tilt, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.


Don't touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser beam devices. Doing so may
damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.


Keep media in the output tray at minimum level. If the media stacks too high, your
printer may experience media jams and excessive media curl.
