5-4 Clean the Rail and Bearings
Clean the Rail and
Bearings
The carriage rail carries the printhead carriage across the width
of the platen. As dust and ink accumulates on the rail, the mate-
rial could accumulate on the carriage bearings (wheels) and
cause banding in printed output or noisy (“click-click-click”)
carriage motion.
Pinch Rollers
1. Wipe the pinch rollers with a lint-free cloth. To remove ink,
wipe with a minimal amount of isopropyl alcohol, and dry
thoroughly befoer printing again.
Caution
DO NOT ALLOW ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL TO TOUCH
THE PRINTHEADS,
especially the inkjet orifice plates.
Contact with the ink could cause the ink to coagu-
late, rendering the printhead unusable and requiring
it to be replaced. Be sure that cleaned surfaces have
dried before printing.
