Flex Cable Contacts

Figure 3-3. Flex Cable Contacts.

Cleaning the flex cable contact area is very important due to the ease with which this area can become dirty. The flex for the yellow cartridge is deceiving because it is not readily apparent that it is dirty. This also causes the cartridges to not receive all of the electrical signals for a proper firing of the jets. This can be seen as a misfiring of the cartridge.

NOTE

Be careful when handling the flex cable contact area. Avoid touch- ing the contact area because oils on your skin can contaminate the area and result in misfiring of the inkjets.

Clean the flex cable contacts by gently dabbing the area with a cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol.
