Printhead Maintenance
[73]
[73] Clean Suction-Head
Note: In the next step, start with the left printhead and work to the right as this limits
the possibility that drops of ink will fall onto the coiled hose. Also, do not push up
too hard on the printhead as you may dislodge it and this will require a service call
to fix.
6.
Slide the suction-head slowly along the entire length of each printhead at a speed of
approximately 8mm per second (8 seconds per printhead). The suction-head slides
on stainless steel strips on the printhead. Check to see that all ink is removed – repeat
if necessary.

Wipe the suction-head on a clean piece of new lint-free wipe before proceeding to
the next printhead.
Note: During maintenance, be careful not to touch the nozzle plates as this can
damage the printhead.

Slide the maintenance station cover back to its closed position. The carriage will
move back to its previous print-ready height.
