Cleaning the printer and accessories
Clean the outside surfaces with a water-dampened cloth. Observe the warning and caution below.
WARNING! Before you begin these steps, turn the printer off and unplug all power cords to avoid shock hazard.
Be careful when cleaning around the fuser area. It might be hot.
CAUTION To avoid permanent damage to the print cartridge, do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around
the printer.
If toner gets on your clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash your clothes in cold water. Hot
water sets toner into fabric.
Cleaning spilled toner
Defective print cartridges can develop leaks. Also, after a paper jam has occurred, some toner
might remain on the rollers and guides inside the printer. The pages that print immediately after the
jam can pick up this toner.
CAUTION When cleaning the printer, do not touch the ITB (the black, intermediate transfer belt in the transfer
unit) with the damp cloth or with your fingers. When cleaning inside the printer, the transfer unit
should be removed.
Vacuum specifications
Do not vacuum the printer or any spilled toner using a conventional vacuum. Toner particles used
in this product might be too fine for effective vacuuming and could result in damage to
conventional vacuums.
A vacuum specifically designed for cleaning toner can be used if it is capable of filtering fine
particles (five microns in diameter).
