CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Wiping the Print Nozzles and Contacts

When the print is not clear or dots are missing, the problem may be caused by dried ink on the:

¥Print cartridge nozzles

¥Print cartridge contacts

¥Print cartridge carrier contacts and deflector

1.Remove the print cartridge. See ÔReplacing the Print CartridgeÕ on page 7.10.

2.Use a clean cloth, dampened with water only, to gently clean the entire copper- colored area, including the nozzles and contacts.

To dissolve any dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the nozzles for about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry.

If you are cleaning a color print cartridge, be especially careful to wipe the nozzles in only one direction so the colors do not mix.

Allow the copper-colored area to dry.
