If the print head of the ink cartridge is dirty or the ink cartridge has not
been used for a long period of time, it may not print properly.
To clean the print head using the scanner, press the corresponding
Custom Function button (F1 or F2) on the scanner's control panel.
NOTE: You must assign the Clean Print Head function to one of the
Custom Function buttons (F1 or F2) using the Ngenuity
Operator Utility to be able to clean the print head using the
scanner. See the section entitled, "Settings button: Custom
functions" in Chapter 3.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. Remove the front (or back) imprinter unit from the scanner. See the
sections entitled, "Removing the front imprinter" or "Removing the
back imprinter" earlier in this chapter for instructions.
3. Remove the ink cartridge by grasping the ink cartridge holder and
pulling the tab on the ink cartridge out from the ink cartridge holder.
4. Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.
5. Hold the cloth in contact with the nozzles on the ink cartridge for a
few seconds, then gently wipe the nozzle plate. Do not wipe the
electrical contact area.
6. If ink remains on the nozzle plate, wipe again with a dry, lint-free
cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use the roller cleaning paper to clean the print
head. Do not use any material that contains alcohol
when cleaning the print head.
