 SAme with the Lasers. the page trick just does part of the job, the
drum and paper path. But the printer should be opoened up and cleaned
out once in a while just like you do with the Dot Matrix to get rid of
the "Dust". Of course the owners manual dosen't outline anything becasue
the typical user could damage the printer.
