Wiping the Ink Cartridge Nozzles and
Contacts
If print quality does not improve after
repeating the Clean Head process, the
problem may be caused by dried ink on
the ink cartridge nozzles or contacts.
To clean the nozzles and contacts:
Remove the ink cartridge. See Installing
Ink Cartridges later in this section
Use a clean, lint free cloth, dampened
with water only, to gently clean the entire
copper colored area, including the
nozzles and contacts. To dissolve any
dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the
nozzles for about three seconds. Gently
blot and wipe dry.
If you are cleaning a color ink cartridge,
be especially careful to wipe the nozzles
in only one direction so the colors do not
mix.
Allow the copper-colored area to dry,
then reinstall the ink cartridge and repeat
the Clean Head process.
If print quality still has not improved,
replace the ink cartridge.
