If you have print quality problems, clean the corona wire as follows:
1 | Turn off the machine’s power switch. Disconnect all cables, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical socket. |

CAUTION | We recommend that you place the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a clean, flat surface with a piece of disposable paper or cloth underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner. | | Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once. | | To prevent damage to the machine caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration. |
