Cleaning a machine
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine
regularly to keep the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other
strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use cloth or tissue
dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any
water drip onto or into the machine.
Printing a cleaning sheet (Dell 1130n only)
If you are experiencing blurred or smeared printouts, you can clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided
by your machine.
To print the cleaning sheet:
In ready mode, press and hold the
OPC cleaning sheet: Cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded.
Your machine automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner
particles on it.
