Updated: 14\/08\/2017<\/em><\/p>\n

Given that laser printers have no end of hi-tech wizardry under the bonnet, you\u2019d expect them to be difficult to clean and maintain. But compared to inkjets \u2013 whose innards are often flecked with messy ink residue \u2013 laser printers are surprisingly easy to clean, provided you have the right tools and equipment that is.<\/p>\n

In this step-by-step, fool-proof guide, we\u2019ll be demonstrating how to safely and effectively clean a laser printer, as well as divvying up some advice on the tools you\u2019ll need to get the job done right.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"laser<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As laser printers use powdered toner in the print process, you\u2019ll need to use a few specialist tools to ensure the complete removal of any fine particles. Below, we\u2019ve outlined the specialist tools and equipment required to clean a laser printer effectively.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activated Toner Cloth: <\/strong>A disposable cloth which, when activated by stretching the cloth has a non-oily coating that traps the toner<\/a> particles for easy removal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isopropyl Alcohol \/ Aerosol Spry Duster: <\/strong>Sometimes known as rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol is ideal for cleaning mechanical equipment as it quickly evaporates leaving no fluid behind. Use this to ensure no residue is left behind after cleaning. The Air spray duster can be used to help reach those difficult places and blow the toner particles away.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dust Mask: <\/strong>If inhaled, whilst not dangerous, powdered toner can sometimes cause irritation. Before you open the printer toner compartment, ensure the room is well-ventilated and don a dust mask just to be sure you don’t cause yourself any problems.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Latex Gloves: <\/strong>If exposed to the skin, toner can cause irritation; wear latex or rubber gloves to prevent this.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toner Vacuum (Optional): <\/strong>A toner vacuum is a powerful handheld device capable of gently removing toner from inside a laser printer. Though extremely useful, toner vacuums are expensive, so we\u2019ve marked them an optional tool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Clean Your Laser Printer<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re tooled up with the equipment above, it\u2019s time to open your printer and get to work. Before you do that, we\u2019d like to remind you that should you feel uncomfortable handling any internal components, make sure you contact an experienced printer technician or someone with prior experience who can complete the cleaning for you.<\/p>\n

A prior word of warning…There are a few areas inside your printer that you must not touch with your fingers and be as gentle as possible when cleaning residue from them as they are easily damaged and would need to be replaced if they were. These include the toner drum unit<\/a> which can often be built into the toner cartridge<\/a> but sometimes a separate unit. This will look like a green cylinder and will be covered by a plastic cover called the toner hopper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what the drum looks like:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Toner<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1: Switch Off, Cool Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you open up your printer and start scouring \u2013 hold your horses. First, you\u2019ll need to turn the printer off at the mains as you don’t want to electrocute yourself and \u2013 if you\u2019ve recently used the machine \u2013 wait for it to cool down. Laser printers grow extremely hot when switched on, so it\u2019s important to give them time to cool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: Removing and Clean the Toner Cartridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the printer has cooled, open the back or front panel and remove the toner cartridge (your printer\u2019s manual can tell you how to do this). Using a square of toner cloth, remove excess toner from the cartridge, before setting it to one side on the second piece of toner cloth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3: Remove Excess Toner from Internal Components<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using a square of toner cloth (or a toner vacuum if you\u2019ve purchased one) reach inside the machine and remove any and all excess toner from internal surfaces. Toner is likely to build up around the cartridge housing, as well as on other components that may prove difficult to reach. Try to be as gentle as possible when cleaning inside the machine, as some components are fragile and costly to replace if damaged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4: Swab Surfaces with Isopropyl Alcohol <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For intricate components such as cables and wires, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe with isopropyl alcohol to ensure a safe, sterile clean. This 99% pure chemical will remove debris from internal parts whilst leaving no trace of residue. Be careful to only rub components as gently as possible to be sure not to cause any long-term damage through scratches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5: Reassemble<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re happy you\u2019ve carefully removed any and all toner from within the machine, it\u2019s time to reinsert the toner cartridge and its accompanying bottle. Making reference to the user manual where necessary, insert the cartridge and close the machine before performing any cartridge realignment checks as recommended by the manufacturer. It\u2019s also a good idea to produce a couple of trial prints to ensure everything is working as it should. And you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n
