Xerox XK25C, XK35C manual To clean the Print Head Nozzles from your PC

To clean the Print Head Nozzles from your PC:

In Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0:

1Go to Start>Programs>Xerox WorkCentre XK Series. Ensure there is paper in the Automatic Paper Feeder.

2Select Xerox WorkCentre Control Program on LPT1.

3The Control Program window opens.

NOTE: For Windows 3.1: At system startup, open the Xerox WorkCentre group from Program Manager. Double-click on the Xerox WorkCentre Control Program icon.

4Click the Cartridges tab, then click Clean Print Nozzles. The printer feeds a sheet of paper and prints the nozzle test pattern.

NOTE: There are minor differences in the appearance of the Cartridges Tab between Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0

Examine the test pattern. Compare the diagonal same-color lines at the top and bottom of the test pattern. Look for a break in the diagonal lines; a broken line shows clogged nozzles.

If the bottom line shows improvement, rerun this test. If improvement continues, rerun the test. If all nozzles are not printing after running the test three times, continue with step 5.

5If print quality does not improve, remove and reinstall the ink cartridge. Repeat the Print Head Nozzle procedure.

6If the line is still broken, wipe the nozzles and contacts. Refer to Wiping the Ink Cartridge Nozzles and Contacts.
