Manually Cleaning the Print Cartridges and Print Cartridge Cradle

In order to properly clean the print cartridges and cradle, you will need distilled or bottled water and cotton swabs or a similar lint-free absorbent material that will not stick to the cartridges.

Manually Cleaning the Print Cartridges

1Lower the Fold-Up tray and press the Power Button to turn the printer on. Then lift the top cover.

Warning

Caution

2After the print cartridges move into an accessible position, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.

Keep new and used print cartridges out of the reach of children.

3Remove the print cartridges and set them on a piece of paper with the ink nozzle plate facing up.

Do NOT touch the print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts. Touching these parts will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connection. Also, do NOT remove the copper strips; these are required electrical contacts.

4Dip a clean cotton swab into distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab.

5Clean the face and edges of the print cartridge as shown. Do NOT wipe the nozzle plate.

6Inspect the cartridge for fibers on the face and edges. If fibers are still present, repeat the cleaning process.
