MAINTENANCE

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. 

[A] Grit Rollers: 

Clean as needed 

with distilled water on a damp lint-
free cloth. 

DO NOT 

use anything 

other than distilled water to clean the 
rollers. 

[B] Media Sensors: 

Paper lint and 

dust may build up on the Media 
Sensors. Use a can of compressed air 
or a damp (not wet) q-tip to gently 
swab the sensors. Take care not to drip 
water into the circuit boards. 
Remember to wipe the clear panel 
over the Sensor Receiver in the upper 
Printhead Assembly (

see inset

). 

[C] Capping Station Seal and Squeegee. 

Clean as needed with 

distilled water on a damp, lint-free cloth. Be careful not to splash or 
drip ink on other parts of the printer. 

[D] Printing Platen.

 Wipe with distilled water on a damp, lint-free cloth.
