Cleaning the Registration Roller

If the registration roller is dirty, a misfeed might occur. In this case, clean the roller as follows:

WARNING

  • Be sure to turn off the power switch and wait for about 15 minutes before cleaning the Registration roller. Not waiting for the printer to cool down can result in a burn.

CAUTION

  • The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the "hot surface". Otherwise, an injury might occur.

Clean the registration roller if dots (caused by specks of paper stuck to the roller) appear on printed OHP transparencies.

Important

  • Do not hold the print cartridge upside down or stand it vertically.

  • Do not place the print cartridge on an unstable or tilted surface.

  • Do not use chemical cleaners or organic solvents such as thinners or benzine.

1Turn off the power, and then unplug the power cable.
