A lint-free (non-woven) cleaning cloth. Use to
clean around the print head.
❏ Metal or plastic (PP/PE) tray (available in the
market)
Used cleaning sticks, wiper and wiper cleaner taken
from the printer can be placed here.
Notes on Cleaning
❏ Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding.
❏ Complete the task within 10 minutes to prevent the
print head drying out.
A buzzer will sound after 10 minutes.
❏ Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts
that do not require cleaning.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
malfunction or reduced print quality.
❏ Do not use anything other than a consumable
cleaning stick. Other types of stick that produce lint
will damage the print head.
❏ Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks
can make stains even harder to remove.
❏ Do not touch the ends of the sticks. Oil from your
hands could damage the print head.
❏ Use dry cleaning. Do not add any cleaning solution,
water, or alcohol to the cleaning stick. If water,
alcohol, or cleaning solution gets on the nozzle
surface, cap, or wiper, this can damage the printer.
❏ Touch a metallic object before starting work to
discharge any static electricity.

around the print head as suggested below.
