Wiping the print nozzles and contacts

If you have cleaned the print nozzles as explained in the previous section at least three times and print quality is still not satisfactory, try wiping the print nozzles and contacts.

1 Open the operation panel and then the print compartment cover, and remove the print cartridge (see page 17).

•CAUTION! DO NOT touch the gold contact area of the cartridge or the contact area of the cartridge carriage with your fingers.

2 Dampen a clean cloth with water, and

gently wipe the nozzles and the gold- colored area around the nozzles. Wipe in one direction only.

•To dissolve dried ink, hold the damp

cloth against the nozzles for about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry.

•When finished, allow the gold-colored area to dry.

3 Dampen another section of clean cloth

with water, and gently wipe the contacts and the gold-colored area around the contacts.

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

•When finished, allow the gold-colored area to dry.

4 Reinstall the print cartridge and repeat the nozzle test as explained in the previous section.
