Cleaning the Paper Path for Ink Smears

When the printouts are smeared or scuffed, clean the roller inside.

Important:

Do not use tissue paper to clean the inside of the printer. The print head nozzles may be clogged with lint.

  1. Select Maintenance on the printer's control panel.

  2. Select Paper Guide Cleaning.

  3. Select the paper source, load plain paper in the paper source you selected, and then follow the on-screen instructions to clean the paper path.

    Loading Paper

    Note:

    Repeat this procedure until the paper is not smeared with ink. If the printouts are still smeared or scuffed, clean the other paper sources.
