Replacing the Toner Cartridge

If the print remains light after redistributing the toner (see 

page 5.3) or the 

 LED blinks orange, replace the toner 

cartridge. 

Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See 

“Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.4. 

Cleaning the Printer

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below 

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality 

problems occur.

N

OTE

: While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to 

touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). 

Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

C

AUTION

: Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants 

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong 

substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the Outside

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 the printer or inside of it.

Cleaning the Inside

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. Cleaning 

the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Cleaning inside the printer

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait 

for the printer to cool.
