General Cleaning

6-2
Perform the following procedures whenever you check, service, or repair a
printer. Cleaning the printer, as outlined in the following steps, assures proper
operation of the printer and reduces the probability of having to service the
printer in the future.
The frequency of use, Average Monthly Print Volume (AMPV), type of media
printed on, and operating environment are factors in determining how critical
cleaning the machine is and how often it is necessary. Record the number of
sheets printed.
Toner vacuum cleaner
Clean water
Clean, dry, lint-free cloth
Black light-protective bag
Perform the following general cleaning steps as indicated by the printer's
operating environment.
Caution
Never apply alcohol or other chemicals to any parts of the printer. Never use a
damp cloth to clean up toner. If you remove the Print Cartridges, place them in
a light-protective bag or otherwise protect them as exposure to light can
quickly degrade performance and result in early failure.
