The Pitney Bowes DA700/DA750 Ink Jet Printer is de-
signed for trouble-free service with a minimal amount of
care. You should schedule regular cleaning of the Feed
Rollers, Exit Rollers and Lower Guide.
Caution
Clean print head, cartridge, ink surfaces and covers with plain
water only. (Water works best!)
Clean all rubber rollers with the Pitney Bowes Multi-Purpose
Cleaning Kit Number 902-0.
Use of any other cleaning solvents will void all warranties.
Keep petroleum based cleaning solvents away from rubber or
plastic parts. Anything but the recommended Pitney Bowes
Cleaning Kit solvent could cause premature breakdown of the
rubber compound.
The print head performs a self cleaning cycle periodically.
If print quality is unacceptable, try the following:
• Adjust the media thickness knob (page 3-18) to see if
print quality improves. If the printhead is too high
above the envelope, fuzzy printing results. If the knob
is adjusted too low, envelopes jam or print smears.
• From the Setup Menu, select 3. Purge Printhead. The
purging process clears any clogged ink on the print
nozzle. Often this returns the print quality to a normal
level. See Appendix A, Control Panel Menus, for
information on using this feature.
• Clean the print head cartridge: dampen a
soft cotton cloth with water and wipe the
nozzles clean (wipe in the proper directions).
• Install a new ink cartridge (page 2-12).
