4. Replacement and Adjustment
1. Use a linen cloth, dampened very slightly with water and tightly wrapped around the end of a
small screwdriver, to remove any ink that has hardened at the following locations:
• Make sure the cloth is only slightly damp. Do not allow any water near the protective caps
[C]. Water on the caps could seep onto the print head nozzles and dilute the ink.
[A] Wiper and blade
[B] Suction cap
[C] Print head caps (x3)
2. Check the other print head caps and clean if necessary.
• Never use cotton, tissue, or any other material that could shred and leave fibers around the
suction cap or the print head caps.
