Cleaning the Registration Roller

When you use paper other than the standard types, specks of paper may stick on the registration roller, causing problems. Clean the registration roller if white dots appear on prints.

Clean the registration roller if printed paper becomes smeared after a paper jam is cleared.

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.

Important

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

  • After duplex printing, the registration roller becomes very hot. Confirm that the registration roller has cooled down before cleaning it.

  • Close all paper trays and optional paper feed units before opening the front cover.
