The damp cloth prevents scratching the suction cup. A scratched suction cup
could cause poor print quality. Never use tissue, cotton, or any other type of
material to wrap the tip of the screwdriver. Such material can contaminate the
maintenance unit with loose fibers.
Clean the vent and cap carefully to avoid:
- Damaging the fragile lip of the suction cap.
Do not insert the tip of the screwdriver down into either the right air vent or
suction cap.
