2.
Dampen a small piece of clean linen cloth with a small amount of alcohol.
Never use cotton, soft tissue, or any other type of material that could shred and
leave fibers on the encoder film strip.
3.
Gently wipe the horizontal encoder strip always from right to left in one direction.
To avoid bending the spring plate on the left end of the encoder strip, always
wipe the strip from right to left. The horizontal encoder strip is fragile. Never
apply excessive tension to the horizontal encoder strip when cleaning it.
4.
Push the carriage unit to the right with your hand.
5.
Repeat Step 3 to clean the left end of the strip.
6.
Push the carriage unit to the left again, and then turn on the machine.
7.
Confirm that the machine is in standby mode and ready to operate.
Switch on the printer immediately after cleaning to ensure that the carriage
returns to the right side of the machine and caps the print heads. If this is not
done immediately, the print heads may dry out.
8.
Do the "Nozzle Check" after cleaning, and then check the patterns for missing or broken
lines.
9.
Do "Print Head Cleaning" if the pattern is not satisfactory.
10. Do "Print Head Flushing" if the pattern is not satisfactory, even after three print head
cleanings.
11. Do "Print-Head Flushing" and print another Nozzle Check Pattern.
12. If the Nozzle Check Pattern is still not satisfactory after flushing the print heads, replace
the horizontal encoder strip.
