Cleaning

7-2
Perform the following procedures whenever you check, service, or repair a printer.
Cleaning the printer, as outlined in the following steps, assures proper operation
and reduces the probability of service calls in the future.
The frequency of use, Average Monthly Print Volume (AMPV), media used, and
environment determine how critical cleaning the printer is and how often it is
necessary.
• Toner vacuum cleaner
• Clean water
• Clean, dry, lint-free cloth
• Black light-protective bag
Perform these cleaning steps as indicated by the operating environment.
Warning
Never apply alcohol or other chemicals to any parts of the printer. Do not use
aerosol cleaners; they may be explosive and flammable under certain
conditions.
Caution
Never use a damp cloth to clean up toner. Be sure to place the Print Cartridge
in a light-protective bag as exposure to light can quickly degrade performance
and result in early failure.
