Cleaning: Preparation and Notes

What You'll Need
Ready the following items before beginning part cleaning.
❏ Protective eyeware (not included)
Protects your eyes from ink.
❏ A maintenance kit (supplied with printer)
Contains gloves, cleaning sticks, a wiper, and a wiper cleaner.
Order new maintenance kits once the contents of the supplied maintenance kit are
exhausted. See "Options and Consumable Products" on page 129.
❏ A clean room wipe (not included)
A lint-free (non-woven) cleaning cloth. Use to clean around the print head.
❏ A metal or plastic tray made from polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) (not
included)
Used cleaning sticks, wipers, and wiper cleaners 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.
An alarm 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 from Epson. Other types
of sticks 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.
