To clean the electrical contacts in the printer

a. Lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with bottled or distilled water.

b. Clean the electrical contacts in the printer by wiping with the cloth from top to bottom. Use as many fresh, clean cloths as necessary. Clean until no ink shows on the cloth.

c. Wipe the area dry with a dry lint-free cloth before proceeding to the next step.

8.Make sure the latch handle is raised, and then reinsert the printhead.

9.Carefully lower the latch handle.

NOTE: Make sure you lower the latch handle before reinserting the ink cartridges. Leaving the latch handle raised can result in incorrectly seated ink cartridges and problems printing. The latch must remain down in order to correctly install the ink cartridges.
