How do I clean the auto sheet feeder?

• If ink smears on a printout when printing from the auto sheet feeder (especially on glossy paper), you can clean the auto sheet feeder roller to remove excess ink.

  Note: If ink smears when printing on glossy paper, we recommend printing individual cut sheets one at a time instead of using the auto sheet feeder.

  1. Load a few sheets of plain paper in the auto sheet feeder.
  2. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  3. Select Settings > Maintenance > Paper Guide Cleaning. You see a screen like this:
     
  4. Select Start to clean the paper guide. The paper is ejected.
  5. Check the ejected paper to see if it is clean.
     • If you see ink smears, press and hold Run Again. Repeat until there is no more ink on the ejected paper.
     • If there is no ink visible, select Done.
