Cleaning under the carriage

The underside of the carriage becomes coated with ink
wiped off by the wiper. Continuing to use the dirty carriage
underside will rub dried ink and attached dust on to the
media, resulting in contaminated prints.
The print head uses an extremely delicate mechanism.
Take great care when handling it.
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the
cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection fail-
ures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
