Printhead
After allowing the printhead to cool for approximately one
minute, use 70% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab to
clean the print elements from end to end (the print
elements are located in the thin gray line on the printhead).
NOTE: You do not have to turn off the printer to do this.
If print quality has not improved after performing this
procedure, try cleaning the printhead with
Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated
material removes contamination buildup without
damaging the printhead. Call your authorized reseller for
more information.
