moving the cleaning cloth in small motions to the right and across the length of the encoder strip

Caution: Make sure that ink cleaning solution does not drip into the printer. If any cleaning solution
does drip, wipe it with a dry cleaning cloth.
Caution: Do not pull on or rub the encoder strip (carriage scale) with too much force, or the right
side may detach or the encoder strip (carriage scale) may be damaged, causing the printer to
operate incorrectly.
