Figure 17.  Inserting the cleaning  cloth

NOTE

:   

Do not attempt to clean the print head with any material other than 

  the cleaning  cloth.

 

The cleaning  cloth is for head and roller cleaning only.  

 

Do not use it to clean any other part of the printer.

 

Don’t throw the cleaning  cloth away after you clean the print head.  It 
should last for the life of the printer.  Keep the cleaning  cloth with your 
printer supplies and use it whenever you need to clean the print head.
