Cleaning the Printhead
6.2 Cleaning the Printhead
Use of the cleaning cards will normally do an adequate job of cleaning the printer. However,
a separate Printhead cleaning, using swabs, can remove more stubborn deposits when print
anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
Step 1. Place the printer power switch in the OFF (O) position.
Step 2. Open the printer lid to fully to reveal the printhead mounted on the inside the cover.
Step 3. Clean the printhead by moving an alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across the
printhead elements. Only use moderate force.
Step 4. Allow two to three minutes for the printhead to dry before closing the lid and placing
the printer power switch in the ON ( | ) position.
Caution • Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the printhead. Permanent
damage to the printhead will result.
