Cleaning ink cartridge by hand

Caution! Inexpert cleaning can damage the ink cartridge and render it use-
less. Heed the following hints to avoid damage to the print system:
• In case of print quality issues, always run the automatic cleaning functions
first. Read chapter 16.3.1 on page 125.
• You should manually clean the ink cartridge in exceptional cases only
where intensive cleaning fails to restore the normal print quality.
• For cleaning, make sure to use a soft, lint free cloth moistened with demin-
eralized water. Small fibers could clog the nozzles. Too hard or dry cloths
could scratch the nozzle plate. Such scratches render the ink cartridge
useless because they prevent the ink-jet from being correctly positioned
during printing.
• Never use any chemical cleansers.
