Cleaning Your Machine To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. OTES • While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
Page 94
With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. : To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose AUTION it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
Cleaning the Document Glass Keeping the document glass clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the document glass at the start of each day and during the day, as needed. Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner Cartridge Storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. Open the front cover. Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages print when a print job is sent. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. The machine stops printing. Open the front cover. Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out. Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally four or five times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Cleaning the Drum If there are streaks or spots on your print, the OPC drum of the cartridge may require cleaning. Before setting the cleaning procedure, make sure that paper is loaded in the machine. Press Menu/Exit on the control panel until "Maintenance" appears on the top line of the display.
