Cleaning Exhaust Cap - Brother GTX-4 Service Manual

Cleaning exhaust cap

(1) Wipe clean the rubber seal of exhaust cap with the clean stick R.
<IMPORTANT>

Never touch the tip end of clean stick R with your hand. If any sebaceous matter is attached to the wiper, it may result in a
printer malfunction.

The clean stick R used for cleaning the nozzle guard and wiper should be rinsed in the cleaning cup before the next use.
Be sure to use the clean stick R separately for color ink and white ink.
(2) Use the clean stick R to soak up the ink accumulated in the exhaust cap, and remove it.
<IMPORTANT>

If there is any ink clot in the exhaust cap, move the clean stick R in the direction as illustrated below. If the stick is moved
toward yourself, any of the exhaust suction ports may be clogged with ink clot.
