Cleaning individual color printheads
You can choose to clean one or more color printheads by selecting Clean Heads from the

using that color ink will be cleaned. The Clean Heads procedure timer does not get reset unless
all of the printheads are cleaned.

To clean individual color printheads
CAUTION: Use impervious gloves to protect your hands. Nitrile gloves of no less
than 8 mils have proven impervious for one hour of exposure. Gloves should be
disposed of after one hour of exposure time. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes. Dispose of used gloves according to local laws and regulations.
CAUTION: During maintenance procedures, always wait for printer prompts
before lowering the maintenance shelf or opening the head access door. Performing
either of these actions prior to the prompts will cause an emergency stop and
require you to redo maintenance procedures from the beginning.
Tip: You can access the All Color choice when choosing which printheads to clean, and clean all
printheads at the same time.
