Using the duplex cleaning card

If your printer includes a duplex module, use the duplex cleaning card to maintain card
quality and reduce the likelihood of jammed cards in the duplex module.
Use the duplex cleaning card once a month or when problems occur, such as
repeated card jams. See "Supplies and cards" on page B-1 for ordering information.
