2. Cleaning the Photosensitive Drum
If the surface of the photosensitive drum
is soiled, wipe it with a flannel cloth coated
with toner.
Caution:
• Do not dry wipe the surface of the
photosensitive drum. Do not use
solvent.
• Do not use paper, lint-free or
otherwise, to avoid damaging the
surface of the photosensitive drum.
• Work briskly when cleaning the
photosensitive drum to avoid
unnecessarily subjecting it to light
and thus affecting images.
• If you must rotate the photosensitive
drum, be sure to rotate it in the same
direction as it would when making
copies.
