Clean the Printhead Nozzles
Introduction
Ink tends to accumulate on the bottom of the printhead nozzles and must be cleaned off on a
regular basis.
When to do
IMPORTANT
To maintain print quality it is very important to swab the printheads once a week, or more
frequently, if required. Failure to do this may result in plugged nozzles and poor image quality .
Foam Tipped Swabs (3010105434 Swab Foam Flex Tip)
Flush (3010106646 Flush UV 1Liter) or Isopropyl alcohol (99% pure)
Bottle-HDPE 125ml for flush (3010105433)
Before first use, proceed as follows: Label this bottle as "Flush", add the actual date of receipt of
the bottle and the date of expiry (two years after receipt).
CAUTION
Discard the bottle if it shows any sign of wear or physical damage (cracking or leaking) or at
expiry.
NOTE
To prevent contamination of the flush in the bottle, never re-dip a used swab in the flush.
Flush must not be exposed to air for long periods. Always store flush in a sealed container. Flush
has a recommended shelf life of one year. Discard it after one year has passed.
Note Attention Caution
IMPORTANT
Never "scrub" the printhead with a swab as this will drag debris into other nozzles. Note that the
swab has a seam that can damage the printhead nozzles; use only the semi-curved foam sides of
the swab.
