The procedure for cleaning the printhead varies according to the type of
ink being used in the printer—non-pigmented ink or pigmented ink.
For Printers Using Non-pigmented and Pigmented
Inks:
To clean the printhead, do the following:
1. Ensure that the printer is in the "Jet Off" state. To verify this, check the
Status in the PRINT STATUS screen.
2. Unscrew the securing screw of the printhead's cover tube and slide off
the cover. The printhead is hermetically sealed, so there is no risk of
cleaning fluids affecting any of the electrical connections.
3. Hold the printhead as shown in Figure 7-15 below, or mount it on a
wash station if you have one.
Ensure that the cleaning solvent corresponds to the solvent type being
used in the printer.
