							Clean the device
Clean the outside of the device with a clean, damp cloth when necessary.
CAUTION:Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on or around the device.
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the device. Over 
time, this buildup can cause print quality problems, su ch as toner specks or smearing, and paper jams. 
To correct and prevent these type s of problems, clean the print cartridge area and the device media 
path.
Clean the print-cartridge area
You do not need to clean the print-cartridge area  often. However, cleaning this area can improve the 
quality of the printed sheets.
WARNING! Before cleaning the device, turn the device off by unplugging the power cord, and wait for 
the device to cool.
1. Unplug the power cord from the device. Open the print-cartridge door, and remove the print 
cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the black-sponge transfer roller inside the device. Doing so can damage 
the device.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not expose the print cartridge to light. Cover it with a piece 
of paper.
ENWW Clean the device 47
 
						

							2.With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the paper-path area and the print-cartridge cavity.

							4.Plug the power cord into the device.
Clean the device paper path
If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the paper path. This process uses 
a transparency to remove dust and toner from  the paper path. Do not use bond or rough paper.
NOTE:For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can 
use copier-grade media (70 to 90 g/m2 (18 to 24 lb.)) that has a smooth surface.
1. Make sure that the device is idle and the Ready light is on. 
2. Load the media in the input tray. 
3. Print a cleaning page. Access the printer Properties (or Printing Preferences in Windows 2000 
and XP).
NOTE: The cleaning process takes approximately 2 minutes. The cleaning page will stop periodically 
during the cleaning process. Do not turn the device off until the cleaning process has finished. You might
need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean the device.
ENWW Clean the device 49
 
						

							Change the pickup roller
Normal use with good media causes wear. The use of poor media might require more frequent 
replacement of the pickup roller. 
If the device regularly mispicks (no media feeds thro ugh), you might need to change or clean the pickup 
roller. See Clean the pickup roller on page 53  to order a new pickup roller.
CAUTION:Failure to complete this procedure might damage the device.
1.Open the print-cartridge door, and remove the old print cartridge. See the recycling information 
inside the print-cartridge box.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light. Cover 
the print cartridge with a sheet of paper.
