Cleaning the Machine
If the original is not copied clearly, clean the machine. For high-quality printouts, we 
recommend cleaning the machine once or twice a month.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may result in damage to the plastic 
parts.
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate 
static charges.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the power plug’s metal 
pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for 
a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. 
This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
You cannot send or receive documents when the main power switch is turned off or the power cord is disconnected.
If the main power switch is turned ON, all jobs waiting in the print queue will be erased.
Documents received into memory and documents stored for delayed send will be retained for approximately 60 minutes 
after the power cord has been disconnected.

the main power switch.

If black streaks appear on printed output, the fixing unit may be dirty. Also, you should use the Fixing Unit 
Cleaning procedure every time the toner cartridge is replaced. Print the cleaning pattern on LTR paper for 
cleaning the fixing unit.
 As cleaning paper, LTR or A4 paper must be loaded in the paper drawer or the stack bypass tray.
Cleaning the fixing unit takes approximately 60 seconds.

Replacing the Toner Cartridges
Maintenance
When installing or removing the toner 
cartridges, be sure to place paper on the 
transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit to 
protect the belt.
Do not place any object on or touch the 
transfer belt (A) of the delivery feeder unit. The 
transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit has a 
self cleaning function, therefore, do not clean 
the belt even when the toner is on it. If the 
delivery feeder unit is broken or transfer belt is 
damaged, this may result in misfeeds or 
deterioration in print quality.–

Hold the blue tabs on the both sides of 
toner cartridge, and pull it horizontally.
Do not touch the high-voltage contact (A) or the 
electrical contacts (B), as this may result in 
damage to the printer.

Take the new toner cartridge out of the 
protective bag after taking it out of the 
package.
There is a cut near the arrow on the protective 
bag, so you can open it by hand. However, if you 
cannot open it by hand, use scissors to open the 
protective bag so as not to damage the toner 
cartridge.
