Printhead - Linx 5900 Quick Start Manual

6.1.2 Printhead

To clean the printhead
1. Stop and turn off the printer (see page 24).
2. Loosen the securing screw of the printhead cover tube, then slide the
cover off.
3. Hold the printhead as shown in Figure 6-2, or attach it to a wash
station if you have one. Make sure that the cleaning solvent is the
same type that is used in the printer.
4. Put a container under the printhead and gently wash only the circled
area with the solvent, as shown in Figure 6-2. Pause after every rinse
to allow the ink to dissolve.
Collect the solvent in the container.
Dispose of the used solvent, according to local regulations.
