[133] Swab Yellow Printhead
7.
Rotate the swab by 180 degrees and repeat the previous step.
8.
Discard the swab and repeat Steps 2 to 6 for all the other printheads (if
needed).
9.
Perform Printhead Maintenance.
10.
Once finished, all residual flush and ink in the gaps around the head
should be carefully wiped away with a clean swab.
11.
Run a Nozzle Check print or an image test print and verify that all nozzles
are firing properly.
NOTE
If the problem persists, you can swab multiple times. Use a new clean
side of the swab each time (this means a maximum of two swipes per
swab). It is possible that as many as ten swipes can be required. If
purging and swabbing does not recover a blocked nozzle, holding a flush-
soaked swab against the blocked nozzle on the printhead for at least ten
seconds is an effective way of clearing the blockage.
12.
Run another nozzle check, if necessary. When the Nozzle Check print does
not show any nozzles out, the printer is ready to produce quality images.
