Clean the Corona Wires

Before starting the cleaning procedure, see Related Information: Clean the Machine.

Open the top cover until it locks in the open position.

WARNING
HOT SURFACE
The machine's internal parts will be extremely hot. Wait for the machine to cool down before touching them.
Remove the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly.

CAUTION

We recommend placing the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly on a clean, flat surface with disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.

IMPORTANT

To prevent damage to the machine from static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.
Clean the corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the green tab from left to right and right to left several times.

Be sure to return the green tab to the Home position (). The arrow on the tab must be aligned with the arrow on the drum unit. If it is not, printed pages may have a vertical stripe.
Slide the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly into the machine. Make sure that you match the toner cartridge color to the same color label on the machine.
Close the machine's top cover.
