Cleaning the Guide Rods
Be careful not to touch the nozzle with the Cleaning Applicator. Also, be careful not to adhere the wiped
solid ink or lint to the nozzle. Also, be careful to keep the nozzle area dry (no cleaning fluid) while cleaning
the side of the print head. All of these can cause the nozzle out.
When cleaning the guide rods, try to avoid touching the encoder or the carriage belt. This may cause the
printer to not operate properly.
