54 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Manual method:
1. Remove the printhead using the instructions in Section 5G.
2. Moisten a lint-free cloth with water.
3. Hold the cloth against the
nozzles for three seconds.
This will “wick” some
additional ink onto the
damp cloth.
4. Wipe in one direction
only.
5. Repeat the process until
all colors appear evenly
on the cloth.
6. Finally, clean the copper
contacts on the back of
the printhead and on the carriage.
G. REPLACING THE PRINTHEAD
Regular replacement of the printhead is not necessary.
However it may become necessary if you notice a gradual
decrease in print quality or if some of the print nozzles are
still clogged after repeated manual cleanings as described in
Section 5F.
Follow this procedure:
1. Press the Pause and Load/Feed buttons simultaneously to
move the print carriage to the center of the print area.
Press Pause + Load/Feed
to Start and Finish.
