Cleaning the Printer
This section describes how to clean the printer in order to maintain 
it in good condition and print clean printouts all the time.
Be sure to switch off and unplug the machine before 
accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning, 
maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s 
interior can cause electric shock.
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the printer about once a month. Wipe the parts 
with a wet but well-wrung soft cloth. Then wipe with another dry soft 
cloth. For stubborn stains, moisten a soft cloth with a small amount 
of neutral detergent, and gently wipe the stain off.
Important:
•Do not spray the detergent directly on the printer. The liquid 
detergent may enter the printer through a gap and cause 
problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or 
neutral detergent.
Cleaning the Interior
After clearing paper jams or replacing the drum/toner cartridge, 
inspect the inside of the printer before closing cover A.
