If the cartridge(s) is undamaged and still contains ink, move on
to the
Automatic Cleaning Procedure
.
Automatic Cleaning Procedure
1.
Press the
Start/Stop
key and wait until the
OK
light turns red.
2.
Press the
Clean
key; The carriage will park in the
Service Sta-
tion
and automatically clean the print heads.
3.
When the cleaning process finishes, test the print quality again
in
Best Mode
(activiated with the
Quality
key.) Press the
Start/
Stop
key. The
OK
light will turn green. If the FlexJet was active
when you initiated Step 1, it will resume printing. If it was idle,
send a marker to the print queue.
4.
If print quality remains poor, the paper fiber build-up may be
such that
auto cleaning alone is insufficient for removing ink
plugs from the nozzles. You may need to manually clean the
print head.
Manual Cleaning Procedure
To maintain optimal print quality, manually clean cartridges after
they sit idle for longer than two days—or are placed in storage. Wip-
ing the print head will clean out the nozzles and firing chambers.
A Cloth Should Be:
n
Soft, fiberless, and moistened with deionized water.
Should NOT Be:
n
Abrasive, made of small fibers, dry nor contain chemical additives.
1.
Press the
Start/Stop
key.
2.
Using the
Left Arrow
key, reposition the carriage over the
platen.
3.
Open the latch for the first cartridge and remove it.
4.
Inspect the ink level indicator on the cartridge to verify the
cartridge is not empty.
5.
Dampen the cloth with de-ionized water.
6.
Drag the surface of the cartridge print head over the surface of
the cloth. Wipe slowly across the long-axis with the print car-
tridge facing down. Do not apply excessive force, as this could
scratch the nozzle area.
7.
Repeat until the print head leaves an evenly dark line of ink on
the cloth.
8.
When the cleaning process finishes, test the print quality again
in
Best Mode
(activated with the
Quality
key.) Press the
Start/
Stop
key. The
OK
light will turn green. If the FlexJet was active
when you initiated Step 1, it will resume printing. If it was idle,
send another marker to the print queue.
Use only fiberless cloth as fibers
will block the nozzles of the print
cartridge.
The cloth must be moistened
with deionized water so it does
not scratch the print cartridge.
Scratches can blur line quality.
