This printer can also run the cleaning page automatically at a page count that you set.
To run the page manually:

2. Press the ITEM button six times until CREATE CLEANING PAGE appears.
3. Press the SELECT button.
To run the cleaning page through a machine to clean it:
1. Press the ITEM button six times until PROCESS CLEANING PAGE appears.
2. Follow the instructions listed on the cleaning page you have already printed.
To run the page automatically:
1. Press the menu button four times until PRINT QUALITY MENU appears on the display.
2. Press the ITEM Button five times until AUTO CLEANING PAGE appears.
3. Press the VALUE+ button until =ON appears, then press the SELECT button.
4. Press the ITEM button one time so that FREQUENCY= appears.
5. Press the VALUE+ to select the frequency, and press SELECT.
6. Press the ITEM button until CLEANING PAGE SIZE=LETTER appears, and press the VALUE+ button to select.
7. The cleaning page will now run at the frequency you selected. The auto cleaning process takes about 2.5 minutes to process.
The frequency’s that can be selected are every 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, or 20,000 pages.
CARTRIDGE TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of possible cartridge problems and symptoms. If you run into a problem, this list should help.
Dirty/Bad Primary Charge Roller (PCR): Located Inside the cartridge, this will show on the test print as vertical gray streaks down
the page, as a gray background throughout the page, or as “ghosting” where part of a previously printed area is repeated.
Dirty PCR Connection: This will show as horizontal dark black bars across the page, or as shading throughout the page. This can
also cause the printer to give a “No EP cartridge” message.
Scratched Drum: This is shown by a very thin, perfectly straight line that runs from the top to the bottom of the test page.
Chipped Drum: This will show as a dot or series of dots that repeat three times per page. Any drum defects will repeat three times
per page based on the drum circumference of 3.66 inches.
Light Damaged Drum: This will show up as a shaded area on the test print that should be white. Again this will repeat three times
per page.
Worn-Out Drum: This will usually show up as shading on the right side of the page. It will usually start right from the edge of the
page, and work in towards the center.
Bad Wiper Blade: This will show as either a gray line approximately 1/8 inches thick, or as shading across the entire page.
In either case there will be a film of toner on the drum surface.
Alternating Light/Dark Bands Across Page: This cartridge has the same problem as the 27X. If the drum axle pin is not aligned
correctly, the drum will move up and down causing this defect (see Step 19 image).
“NO EP Cartridge” Message: This is caused by either a missing PCR, or a bad PCR contact. A signal is placed on the PCR that
tell the printer if a cartridge is present or not.
