3. Continue to wet and wipe the surface until the cloth does not show
any sign of ink color.
How to Remove Cured Ink
1. Scrape any cured ink from the surface of the table with a scraper (or a
razor blade in a holder).
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the scraped particles of ink and any
other debris on the table surface.
3. Use a lint-free cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol to ensure that the
table surface is clear of any remaining particles.
How to Clean Ink from the Maintenance Tray
During regular daily printhead maintenance, observe the grid on the top of
the maintenance station when the drawer is open. If you see any
accumulation of ink, clean as follows:
1. Slide the door out from under the carriage to reveal the maintenance
station.
2. Wipe up the majority of the ink by blotting with an absorbent cloth.
3. Pour some alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wipe away any ink
deposits.
4. On a new cloth, apply some alcohol and remove any residual flush or
other debris.
NOTE
If you leave the maintenance door open and do not wipe away any
deposited ink, it will gradually cure from exposure to light and thus
become very difficult to remove.
How to Unplug Vacuum Holes
1. Identify any vacuum holes that are plugged with ink.
2. With an 1.5mm diameter rigid material (e.g., a paper clip), ream out
any of the holes that have been plugged.
3. Clear any resulting debris with a vacuum cleaner or a wet lint-free
cloth.
