NOTE: A video is available at the end of this solution.

Unfused dry ink/toner collects on the 4 color ROS window areas located just above the Drum Cartridge Drawer within the press. Contaminated ROS windows can cause a white streak defect on your printed output.

Perform this procedure to clean the ROS window of the affected color whenever:

  • You replace the drum cartridge

  • A white streak (no image captured) shows in the same position on every print

Important: Only use the wand and cloth pad provided when performing this cleaning procedure. Do not use any other cleaning device, liquid solutions, or cloths.

  1. Open the left and center front doors of the press.



  2. Locate and remove the cleaning wand tool stored on the inside panel of the left front door.

  3. Make sure the pad at the tip of the wand is clean. Replace the pad after 4 uses. Several pads are provided in the Nationalization Kit.

    Note: Replace the pad when it becomes a dark color. Always use a clean pad in order to ensure optimum image quality on the printed output. 

    To acquire additional pads, contact your Service representative.

  4. With the pad facing upward, insert the wand fully into the ROS color window opening and then bring the wand fully out towards you. Complete this in/out action 3 or 4 times in each ROS window.
