Cleaning Your Printer
Wiping the
Printheads
Wipe the printheads only if you have run the cleaning printheads test to clean the printheads and the print quality is not satisfactory. Wiping the printheads removes dried ink from the printheads.
1 | Move the print cartridge carrier into the installation |
| position. See the section “To Position the Print Cartridge |
| Carrier” (page |
2 | Remove the print cartridges. See the procedure “To Replace |
| the Print Cartridges” (page |
3 | Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe gently the entire copper |
| contact area and the printheads as shown. To dissolve |
| dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the printheads for |
| about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry. |
| When cleaning the color print cartridge, wipe the |
| printheads in one direction so the colors do not |
| mix |
4 | Allow the copper contact area to dry. |
