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.
Table 4-1. Cleaning the printer
Component Cleaning Method
Outside covers
Use an HP Toner Cleaning Cloth (part number
5090-3379) or a water-dampened cloth. Do not
use solvents or ammonia-based cleaners.
Inside general With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe any dust, spilled
toner, and paper particles from the paper path
area, the registration roller, and the print
cartridge cavity.
ETB attaching roller Clean with lint-free cloth.
Paper pickup rollers Clean with lint-free cloth. If dirt cannot be
removed, dampen the cloth with water.
Color registration detection unit Clean with lint-free cloth. If dirt cannot be
removed, dampen the cloth with water.
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 ETB with the damp cloth or with your fingers.
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.
Slowly sweep the material into a bag or other sealed container. Clean remainder with a
damp cloth or toner vacuum. If a toner vacuum is used, the motor must be rated as dust
explosion-proof. Fine powder can form explosive dust-air mixtures. Dispose of waste toner in
accordance with local requirements.
