Cleaning the Interior
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This can 
cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning inside the printer clears and 
reduces these problems.
1. Power off the printer and unplug the power cord. Wait for 
the printer to cool down.
2. Open the front cover of the printer.
3. Pull the toner cartridge out and place it on a clean flat 
surface. Then remove the drum cartridge and place it on 
a clean flat surface. 
CAUTION:
• To prevent damage to the drum cartridge, do not 
expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover 
it with a piece of paper, if necessary. 
• Do not touch the green surface on the underside of 
the cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to 
avoid touching this area.
4. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled 
toner from the cartridge area inside the printer.
CAUTION: While cleaning the inside of the printer, be 
careful not to damage any inside parts. Do not use 
solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing 
quality problems can occur and damage can be caused 
to the printer.
