Cleaning the Printhead
Use of the cleaning cards will normally do an adequate job of cleaning the printer. However, a
separate printhead cleaning, using swabs, can remove more stubborn deposits when print
anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
Caution:
Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the printhead.
Permanent damage to the print head will result.
1
Place the printer power switch in the OFF (0) position.
2
Open printer lid by pressing cover release button and open cover fully to reveal printhead
mounted to inside of cover.
3
Clean printhead by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across printhead
elements. Only use moderate force.
4
Allow two to three minutes for the printhead to dry before placing the printer power
switch in the ON (|) position.
5
To reorder cleaning cards and swabs, see Appendix D.
