This chapter describes how to handle and clean the printer.
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 paper pickup rollers 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:
Do not place anything on the top of the printer.
If you have an EXD model, always open the duplexer's rear cover before opening
the printer's top cover.
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 fuser assem-
bly and other internal parts become very hot. Open the printer cover, and let the
interior of the printer cool before handling the inside of the printer.
Always close the printer covers gently. Never expose the printer to vibrations.
Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it cools
down.
Do not leave the printer open for any length of time, especially in well-lit places;
light may damage the OPC belt cartridge.
Do not open the printer during printing and do not tap paper stacks on the printer.
Do not tilt, lubricate, or disassemble the printer.
Do not 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.
