Chapter 4

Make sure you have the following materials available:

•Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers.

TIP: Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning ink cartridges.

•Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the ink cartridges).

CAUTION: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

To clean the area around the ink nozzles

1.Turn on the printer and open the front access cover. The print carriage moves to the center of the printer.

2.Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then unplug the power cord from the back of the device.

3.Lift the ink cartridge latch open and gently remove the ink cartridge from its cradle compartment.

NOTE: Do not remove both ink cartridges at the same time. Remove and clean each ink cartridge one at a time. Do not leave an ink cartridge outside the printer for more than 30 minutes.

4.Place the ink cartridge on a piece of paper with the ink nozzles facing up.

5.Lightly moisten a clean foam rubber swab with distilled water, and squeeze any excess water from it.

6.Clean the face and edges around the ink nozzle area with the swab, as shown below.
