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 Settings on the home screen.

  2. Select Maintenance > 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.

    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.
