A toner cloth is essential when cleaning laser printers. What is a TONER CLOTH? It is a special disposable lint free cloth that attracts & traps toner particles. You “activate” the cloth by slowly stretching the sides. The toner cloth should be thrown away when done.
Toner does tend to accumulate, so occasionally cleaning your laser printer rollers with a lint-free toner cloth and isopropyl alcohol will extend their life and make them less likely to cause paper jams.
