Maintenance and cleaning 113
Clean trailing cables
The trailing cables require cleaning to keep the printer in top condition.
During high production periods, ink may accumulate on the trailing cables and
its support bracket. If this accumulation of ink is not cleaned off regularly, the
trailing cables will become ‘sticky’ and can interfere with the proper operation
of the trailing cables. This can result in the image quality deterioration and
eventually will cause a ‘carriage axis failure’ to occur.
▼
To clean trailing cables
1
Remove power from the printer.
2
Lift the cover of the printer.
3
Dampen a lint-free towel with water (or soapy water for very dirty cables) and
wipe the entire surface of the white trailing cables.
4
Close the cover.
5
Turn the printer on.
Caution:
Do not pull too hard on the cables or damage may occur.
Clean flex cables
The electrical contact areas on both the flex cables (part of the carriage
assembly) and the cartridges require cleaning. This is necessary to ensure
proper operation of the cartridges to extend the life of the cartridge and to
achieve the highest quality output.
Cleaning these areas are very important due to the ease of which this area can
become dirty. The oils and dirt that accumulate on your fingers and hands can
contaminate these areas. Also excessive ink from the bottom of the cartridge
can find its way to the electrical contact areas.
