Cleaning the Printhead

Use of the cleaning cards will normally do an adequate job of cleaning the printer. However, a separate Printhead cleaning, using swabs, can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.

Caution • Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the Printhead. Permanent damage to the Printhead will result

1.Place the printer power switch in the OFF (O) position.

2.Open printer lid by pressing cover release button, and open cover fully to reveal the Printhead mounted to inside of the cover.

3.Clean the Printhead by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across Printhead elements. Only use moderate force.

4.Allow two to three minutes for the Printhead to dry before placing the printer power switch in the ON ( ) position.

5.To reorder swabs, reference the P100i Printer Media List.
