Cleaning The Laser Unit - Sharp MX-3050N User Manual

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE LASER UNIT

When the laser unit inside the machine becomes dirty, line patterns (colored lines) may form in the printed image.
Identifying lines (colored lines) caused by a dirty laser unit
• Colored lines always appear in the same place. (The lines are never black.)
• Colored lines appear in parallel with the direction of paper feeding.
• Colored lines appear not only on output from a copier but also on prints from a computer. (The same lines appear on
both copies and print jobs.)
If conditions similar to the above occur, clean the laser unit as explained below.
