Cleaning for ink smears: paper exit path

7-12 Phaser 380 Color Printer
If you have already performed the "Cleaning for ink smears" cleaning
procedure earlier but problems persist, you should manually clean the paper
exit path.
Occasionally stray ink particles become attached to the exit fingers, rollers and
guides under the exit cover causing ink streaks or marks on the top edge, front
or back of prints. When this occurs, you must clean these parts using both dry
and alcohol-soaked swabs or cloths.
