Troubleshooting and Maintenance
F.
CLEANING THE PRINT HEAD
It may be necessary to clean the print head nozzles if you
notice reduced print quality, missing colors or if you suspect an
cartridge nozzle has become slightly dried out or clogged. Try
the following solutions:
1.
Secure Cartridges.
Make sure the corresponding cartridge
is snapped into place. Remove and reseat the cartridge to
make sure an air tight connection has been made. You
should hear a "click" when the cartridge is installed
properly.
2.
Clean the Copper Contacts.
Ink over spray can build up
inside the printer over time causing interrupted electrical
signals. Remove the printhead and clean the copper
contacts on the printhead carrier and the printhead.
(Area 1, 2 and 4 below). Do not clean the print nozzles!
(Area 3).
3.
Clean the Printhead
.
DO NOT touch the printhead nozzles with a tissue or paper
towel.
This can damage the nozzles! This may be different that
previous printers. Instead used the methods described below:
1. Open PTStatus monitor.
2. Click Clean printhead on the
Cartridge Utilities Tab
(second tab).
