Cleaning the printer
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over
time, this buildup can cause print-quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing (see
Troubleshooting print-quality problems on page 238). This printer has a cleaning mode that can correct
and prevent these types of problems.
