Cleaning the LED Head

Clean the LED head if vertical white lines appear, images are faded, or the periphery of letters are smudged in the printouts.

Dirt on the LED head may cause paper jams.

Note

  • Do not use solvents, such as methyl alcohol or thinners, because they may damage the LED head.

  • Do not expose the image drum to direct sunlight or strong light (approximately 1,500 lux or more). Even under room lighting, do not leave the image drum for 5 minutes or more.
