4.1 Cleaning the Print Cartridge
Ink stains stuck to the nozzle plate of the print cartridge
or leaving the imprinter unused for a while may cause
poor print quality due to a clogged nozzle. If your
imprinter has these types of trouble, clean the nozzle
plate of the print cartridge.
1
Turn off the scanner.
2
Remove the print cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
14).)
3
Wipe off the excess ink on the nozzle plate gently.
4
Make sure that the excess ink is removed and then
reinstall the print cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
14).)
4.2 Cleaning the Imprinter
While you use the imprinter frequently, ink sticks to the
print cartridge holder base which makes the paper dirty.
As a part of daily maintenance, clean the print cartridge
holder base by following the procedure below.
1
Turn off the scanner.
2
Remove the print cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
14).)
3
Open the print section.
4
Clean the print cartridge holder base by pressing a
cloth or a waste cloth gently on it to wipe off the ink.
5
Confirm that the ink is removed and then close the
print section.
6
Reinstall the print cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4 Replacing the Print Cartridge" (page
14).)
ATTENTION
For cleaning, use a dry lint-free cloth, and gently
wipe off the excess ink from the surface of the
nozzle plate. (Do not use a tissue.)
HINT
If the nozzle is still clogged after cleaning the print
cartridge, replace it with a new cartridge.
ATTENTION
Be careful not to touch the nozzle plate or the
contact part with your hand as this may cause poor
print quality or contact errors.
ATTENTION
When installing the print cartridge, install it
properly.

ATTENTION
When cleaning, use an absorbent cloth or a waste
cloth, and gently wipe off the ink.
If the ink is dried, gently wipe it with a moistened
cloth. (Since the ink is water soluble, it can be
cleaned with water.)
ATTENTION
When cleaning, be careful not to touch the metal
wheels located at the print section.
