8 Maintenance
This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the 
print cartridge, as well as suggestions for high-quality and economical 
printing.
This chapter includes:
• Printing information page
• Cleaning the printer
• Maintaining the print cartridge
• Maintenance parts
Printing information page
From the printer’s control panel, you can print pages that give detailed 
information about the printer. They can help you maintain your printer.
1Press Menu until Information appears on the bottom line of the 
display and press OK.
2Press the Up/down arrow buttons until the information page you 
want appears and press OK.
The Information page is printed.
Cleaning the printer
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. Your printer has a cleaning 
mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.
Cleaning the outside of the printer
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.
Caution
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.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:
• Clean the inside manually.
• Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.
Cleaning the Inside of the printer manually
1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer 
to cool down.
2Open the top cover and pull the print cartridge out. Set it on a 
clean flat surface.
Cautions
• To prevent damage to the print 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 print 
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.

3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from 
the print cartridge area and the print cartridge cavity.
Caution
While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch 
the transfer roller, located underneath the print cartridge. Oil 
from your fingers can cause print scan quality problems.
4Locate the long strip of glass of LSU (Laser Scanning Unit) inside 
the top of the cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to 
see if dirt turns the white cotton black.
5Reinsert the print cartridge and close the top cover.
6Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.
Printing a cleaning sheet
If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can 
clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer. 
You can print:
• OPC (Organic Photo Conductor) Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC 
drum of the print cartridge.
• Fuser Cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer. 
1Make sure that the printer is turned on with paper loaded in tray.
2Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the 
display and press OK.
3Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Maintenance appears and 
press OK.
4When Clean Drum appears, press OK.
Or, press the Up/down arrow buttons until Clean Drum
 or Clean 
Fuser appears and press OK.
Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray 
and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.

Maintaining the print cartridge
Print cartridge storage
To get the most from the print cartridge, keep the following guidelines 
in mind:
• Do not remove the print cartridge from its package until ready for 
use.
• Do not refill the print cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover 
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
•Store print cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for 
more than a few minute.
Expected cartridge life
The print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs 
require. Average yield for a new print cartridge is 7,000 or 14,000 
standard pages in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. 
(Average yield for the original print cartridge supplied with the machine 
is 7,000 standard pages.) The actual number may also be different 
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number 
of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, 
media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need 
to change the cartridge more often.
Checking the remaining toner 
You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.
If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if 
the problem is caused by low toner.
1Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the 
display press OK.
2Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Maintenance appears and 
press OK.
3Press the Up/down arrow buttons until Supplies Life appears and 
press OK.
4Press the Up/down arrow buttons to access To n e r  R e m a i n s and 
press OK.
The display shows the percentage of the remaining toner.
Note
While the following messages are appearing on the display, the 
sub-menu(s) under Supplies Life can be changed:
-Invalid Toner, NonGenuine Toner, Replace Toner, To n e r  
Exhausted
Redistributing print cartridge
When the print cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs. 
•Toner Low appears on the display.
•The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white 
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed 
the toner.
1Open the top cover.
2Pull the print cartridge out.
Cautions
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may 
be hot.
• To prevent damage to the print 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 undersid e of the print 
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.

Thoroughly roll the cartridge to assure maximum copies per 
cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.

fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur 
again.

top cover. The jammed paper will automatically exit the printer. 
If the paper does not exit, check the display on the control panel. The 
message indicating the corresponding location of the paper jam
