Cleaning the BJ Cartridge Print Head

To maintain the best possible print quality, you need to clean the BJ cartridge print head from time to time. Your MultiPASS is equipped with a print head cleaning function. If you notice some degradation in the print quality, try cleaning the print head.

CCleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often reduces the amount of ink in the BJ cartridge.
