If you have print quality problems, clean the corona wire as follows:
1 | Turn off the machine. Disconnect all cables and then unplug the power cord from the electrical socket. |
2 | Open the front cover and slowly take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.   IMPORTANT • | We recommend that you place the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a clean, flat surface with a sheet 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. |
|
3 | Clean the corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left and left to right several times.  Note | Be sure to return the blue tab to the home position (  ) (1). If you do not, printed pages may have a vertical stripe. |
|
4 | Put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in the machine. |
5 | Close the front cover. |
6 | Plug the machine’s power cord back into the electrical socket first and then reconnect all cables. Turn on the machine.   IMPORTANT | To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations below. |
