Just after you have used the FAX/ DCP/ MFC, some internal parts of the machine are extremely hot.
- Unplug the machine.
- Open the front cover.
- Lift the drum unit a little and pull it out.
- Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disponsable paper to avoid spilling and scattering the toner.
- Carefully turn the drum unit upside down.
-
Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the tab from right to left several times.
-
Return the tab to Home position before reinstalling the drum unit.
If you do not position the tab at the Home position, printed pages may have vertical stripes.
- Re-install the drum unit into the machine.
- Close the front cover.
- Plug in the power cord.
