Wiping the Print Nozzles and Contacts
When the print is not clear or dots are missing, the problem may be caused by dried
ink on the:
¥ Print cartridge nozzles
¥ Print cartridge contacts
¥ Print cartridge carrier contacts and deflector
1. Remove the print cartridge. See
ÔReplacing the Print CartridgeÕ on
page 7.10.
2. Use a clean cloth, dampened with water
only, to gently clean the entire copper-
colored area, including the nozzles and
contacts.
To dissolve any dried ink, hold the
damp cloth against the nozzles for
about three seconds. Gently blot and
wipe dry.
If you are cleaning a color print
cartridge, be especially careful to
wipe the nozzles in only one
direction so the colors do not mix.
Allow the copper-colored area to
dry.
3. Reinstall the print cartridge.
If the line is still broken, clean the
print cartridge carrier contacts.
See the following steps.
