5.Using the brush supplied with the printer (shown n the photo below), clean the ionizer needles (A in the photo below) located beneath the ionizer bar.

Clean and lubricate rail strips (bi-weekly)

Ink dust and debris can accumulate on the carriage-wheel strips. These particles become obstacles and friction for the carriage wheels, which can appear as repeating output anomalies on the printed media.

NOTE: Users of printers in California must disregard all references to the Printhead Flush or IPA in the instructions or when displayed on the control panel. Instead, the alternative cleaning liquid specified at the beginning of this section must be used.

1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select

Clean and Lube Rail Strips.

2.Process Proceed to continue.

The printer raises the rail and output roller for easier access to the rail.

3.Using a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol, clean the top carriage-wheel strip from end to end on the rail (moving the carriage to clean the full length of the rail).
