¥ Print cartridge contacts.
¥ Print cartridge carrier contacts in the printer.
1. Remove the print cartridge. See ÒReplacing the Print CartridgeÓ
on page 3.18.

copper coloured 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.
