before printing.

Cleaning the Inside of the Printer without a Computer

printer itself.
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on, and then remove any paper from the Rear
Tray.
2. Open the Front Tray and extend the Output Tray Extension.
3. Fold a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in half widthwise, and then unfold it.
4. Load this and only this sheet of paper in the Rear Tray with the open side to the front.
5. Set the Paper Thickness Lever to the left.
6. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button and release it when the POWER lamp
flashes green five times.
The paper cleans the inside of the printer as it feeds through the printer.
Check the folded part of the ejected paper. If it is smudged with ink, perform Bottom
Plate Cleaning again.
If the problem is not resolved after performing cleaning twice, the protrusions inside
the printer may be stained. Clean them according to instructions. See “Cleaning the
Protrusions Inside the Printer” on page 51.
