<Maintenance>

This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the 
toner cartridge.

This chapter includes:
•

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can 
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality 
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. 

Clean the cabinet of the printer with a soft, lint-free cloth. You can 
dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water 
drip onto or into the printer.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer 
to cool down.

Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a 
clean flat surface.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials 

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong 
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• To prevent damage to the toner 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 underside of the toner 

cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.
