Print Engine
Areas in the Print Engine can become glazed with a buildup of dust, paper lint and accumulated ink and
have to be cleaned regularly. Open the Top Cover and release the two latches on the Printhead Assembly.
NOTE:
Be careful around ink tray and capping station in the Print Engine area as accumulated ink may
splash onto other parts of the printer. Take care not to damage the PC Boards or electrical wiring.

with distilled water on a damp lint-
free cloth.

over the Sensor Receiver in the upper
Printhead Assembly (
see inset
