Clean the print head cleaning wiper, capping assemblies, and print head casings at least once a month. You
may need to clean them more often if you notice blurred ink or gaps in your prints after cleaning the print
head. Use the plastic gloves and cleaning swabs that came in the Maintenance Kit, and the metal tray
included with your printer.
Note: If you need more swabs, purchase an Additional Printer Maintenance Kit (1 year supply). See the page 23
for ordering information.
Caution: You must complete this cleaning process within 15 minutes to prevent the print head from drying out.
