Cleaning your Image 2001
Wiping the print Nozzles and Contacts
When the print is not clear or dots are
missing, the problem may be caused by dried
ink on the cartridge nozzles and/or contacts:
Cleaning the cartridge nozzles and contacts
•
Remove the print cartridge. See ‘
Replacing
the print cartridge
’ on Page 71.
•
Use a clean cloth, dampened with water
only, to gently clean the entire copper-
coloured area.
Take care not to smear from the nozzle area
onto the contact area. If you are cleaning
colour print cartridge, be especially careful to
wipe the nozzles in only one direction so the
colours do no mix.
Allow the copper-coloured area to dry.
•
Reinstall the print cartridge.
If the problem is still present, clean the print
cartridge carrier contacts inside the machine.
To dissolve any dried ink, hold the damp cloth
against the nozzles for about three seconds.
Gently blot and wipe dry.
Cleaning the cartridge carrier contacts and
deflector
•
Remove the print cartridge. See ‘
Replacing
the print cartridge
’ page 71.
•
Unplug the mains lead from the electrical
outlet or the rear of the machine - this forces
the print cartridge carrier to remain in the
load position.
•
Use a CLEAN, DRY CLOTH to clean the
print cartridge carrier contacts and the
carrier deflector inside the printer.
•
Reconnect the mains lead.
•
Re-install the print cartridge.
