Cleaning The Corona Wire - Brother MFC-8480DN User Manual

Cleaning the corona wire

If you have print quality problems, clean the
corona wire as follows:
a
Turn off the machine's power switch.
Unplug the telephone line cord first,
disconnect all cables, and then unplug
the power cord from the AC power
outlet.
b
Open the front cover and slowly take out
the drum unit and toner cartridge
assembly.
IMPORTANT
• We recommend that you place the drum
unit and toner cartridge assembly on a
clean, flat surface with a sheet of
disposable paper or cloth underneath it in
case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
• Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If
toner scatters on your hands or clothes,
wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
• To prevent damage to the machine
caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch
the electrodes shown in the illustration.
