CAUTION

6Carefully remove any ink from the contact pads on the printhead using a dry cotton swab or a soft, dry, lint-free cloth that will not come apart or leave fibers behind.

Only wipe the contact pads. Wiping the nozzles (located on the underside of the printhead) can cause severe damage to the printhead.

7Insert the printhead into its color-coded slot. Press down firmly on the printhead to ensure proper contact.

Avoid using drinking water or alcohol, which could damage the printheads.

8After cleaning, place the printhead on a sheet of paper or paper towel.

9Clean the contact points in the printhead slot inside the printer with a dampened cotton swab. Before re-inserting the printheads, make sure all the electrical contacts have had at least five minutes to dry.

10Plug in the power cord and turn on the printer. The control panel should still indicate that a printhead is missing.

11If you are replacing a printhead, remove the new printhead from its package, and then remove the protective tape.

12Insert the printhead into its color-coded slot. Press down firmly on the printhead to ensure proper contact.

13Close the printhead latch. Ensure it is in the lock position.

14Where necessary, repeat the above steps for the remaining printheads.

15Wait while the printer initializes the printheads and prints an alignment page. If the printer does not print an alignment page, replace the printhead you have cleaned.
