Cleaning the
Print Heads Periodic inspection and cleaning of the orifice plates on the bottom of the
print block ensures that the print nozzles are not clogged. A wizard guides
you through the procedure, and adjusts components of the printer to
enable you to perform it. This procedure takes about 20 minutes, and
should be done at the beginning of the work day or before a big printing
job.
To clean the print heads:
1. Prepare—
•
isopropanol (IPA—isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
•
disposable cleaning gloves
•
the supplied cleaning cloth or equivalent
•
a mirror
2. Start the Head Cleaning Wizard from the Options menu (see
figure 6 24 on page 25).
3. Follow the instructions on the wizard screens, and select the
confirmation check boxes.
