Cleaning the Printer

Cleaning the inside of the printer
Cleaning the printer case

The printer needs only minimal cleaning. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the inside of the printer as described below. You should also clean the outside of the printer every few months. These procedures are described later in this section.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

Follow these steps to clean the inside of the printer:

Make sure the printer is turned off.

Gently open cover A.

Warning:

Opening the printer exposes the fuser, which is marked by a caution label. If the printer has been in use, the fuser may be hot. Do not touch it. Let the printer cool before you clean the inside.

Wipe the inside with a soft, clean cloth.

Remove the imaging cartridge from the printer.

Carefully remove any dirt with a soft cloth.

Reinstall the imaging cartridge.

Close cover A.

Cleaning the printer case

If the printer's outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent.

Caution:

Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer cover; these chemicals can damage the imaging cartridge, its components, and the case. Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or any electronic components.
