Cleaning the Printer
Cleaning the Printer
The printer case can be cleaned with an ammonia-based window cleaner and a
lint-free cloth.
Over time, ink over spray may gather at the base of the printer. The printer is
designed using a vacuum system to gather most of this ink on a series of
saturation pads. Eventually, these pads may need to be replaced. Contact tech
support to determine if pad replacement is necessary.
Cleaning the Ink Cartridge
It may be necessary to clean the ink cartridge nozzles if you notice reduced print
quality, or if you suspect a cartridge nozzle has become slightly dried out or
clogged.
To correct print quality problems:
1. Remove the print cartridge.
2. Moisten a lint-free cloth with water.
3. Hold the cloth against the nozzles for
three seconds
. This will “wick” some
additional ink onto the damp cloth.
4. Wipe in one direction only.
5. Repeat the process.
