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.

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.
