Cleaning the doctor blade | HP 72SR manual

◆Cleaning the Service Station doctor blade — with use over time, the doctor blade that cleans excess ink from the ser- vice station wiper blades will accumulate a buildup of ink. This will reduce the cleaning effectiveness of the doctor blade, resulting in “dirtier” wiper blades and more clogged printhead jets. To keep the inkjets clear, regularly inspect and clean the doctor blade with SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent.
