Push up and hold the green lever inside the right access cover. Pull the transfer unit out and down. Remove the transfer charger cleaner from its pocket in the front side of the compartment, then insert the transfer charger cleaner into the front of the transfer charger. Confirm the transfer charger cleaner is in contact with the charger's wire, then move the cleaner to the rear side of the charger, then back to the front side.

Tips & Warnings
Return all access handles and knobs to their original position before closing the covers. If a cover won't close, do not force it shut. Check behind the cover to be certain the knobs and handles are seated and latched, then try to close the cover again.
Do not touch hot surfaces inside the copier. Metal edges inside the copier can be sharp. Take care not to cut your hands on these edges.
Use plain glass cleaner on the platen glass. Do not use all-purpose or multi-surface cleaner.
Do not use chemical solvents on the copier covers or internal components.
