A Brother laser printer enables you to print letters, photos, labels and other documents for your business. Occasionally, dust builds up on the outside of the printer and inside the paper tray. Over time, the printer's scanner window and corona wire also get dirty, and this may affect print quality. Brother recommends that you regularly clean the printer's exterior and interior to prevent poor-quality printing.

Power off the Brother laser printer and disconnect the power cord.

Slide the paper tray out from the bottom of the printer and set it aside.

Wipe the printer's exterior with a lint-free cloth to remove dust. If necessary, dampen the cloth with cool water to remove stains.

Remove pieces of paper and other debris from the inside of the paper tray and wipe it with a cloth.

Slide the paper tray back into the printer. Reconnect the power cord and press the "Power" button.

Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord. If you have just used the printer, wait a few minutes before cleaning it. The parts inside get hot when the printer is used.

Open the front cover and slide out the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly. Avoid touching the electrodes on the assembly. Place the assembly on a paper towel to avoid stains from leaking toner.

Flip the assembly over. Slide the green tab from right to left, and then slide it back. Repeat this process several times to clean the corona wire in the assembly. When you finish cleaning, return the tab to its home position, labeled "1" on the assembly.

Wipe the bottom of the glass scanner window with a lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth with water, if necessary.

Reinsert the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly.

Close the front cover, plug in the printer and turn it on.
