Cleaning procedures
Cleaning the toner cartridge area
With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the paper path area and the toner
cartridge cavity.
Note
Cleaning the toner cartridge area is not necessary on a regular basis. Before cleaning,
look for excessive toner in the compartment.
Cleaning the printer paper path
This process uses copier-grade paper to remove dust and toner from the paper path.
Do not use bond or rough paper. Use this process if you are experiencing toner
specks or dots on printouts. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which
should be discarded.
1
Ensure the printer is loaded with paper.
2
Ensure the printer is in the Ready state.
3
Press and hold the
GO
key for 20 seconds (if released before 20 seconds the
printer will perform a reset). Paper will feed through the printer.
Note
After holding the
GO
key for 20 seconds, each of the three printer lights will blink until
the cleaning process is complete.
Cleaning the pickup roller
To clean the pickup roller rather than replace it, follow the instructions below:
1
Remove the pickup roller as described in “Changing the pickup roller.”
2
Dab a lint-free cloth in isopropyl alcohol, and then scrub the roller.
