Wiping the print nozzles and contacts
If you have cleaned the print nozzles as explained in the previous section at
least three times and print quality is still not satisfactory, try wiping the print
nozzles and contacts.
1 Open the operation panel and then the print compartment cover, and
remove the print cartridge (see page 17).
• CAUTION! DO NOT touch the gold contact area of the cartridge or the
contact area of the cartridge carriage with your fingers.
2 Dampen a clean cloth with water, and
gently wipe the nozzles and the gold-
colored area around the nozzles. Wipe
in one direction only.
• To dissolve dried ink, hold the damp
cloth against the nozzles for about
three seconds. Gently blot and wipe
dry.
• When finished, allow the gold-colored
area to dry.
3 Dampen another section of clean cloth
with water, and gently wipe the
contacts and the gold-colored area
around the contacts.
• To dissolve dried ink, hold the damp
cloth against the contacts for about
three seconds. Gently blot and wipe
dry.
• When finished, allow the gold-colored
area to dry.
4 Reinstall the print cartridge and repeat the nozzle test as explained in
the previous section.
