Cleaning the print
head
A-61591 / Part#9E8651 January 2008
The print head is the part of the printer cartridge which dispenses ink to
the document. If the "Printer Cartridge Care" guidelines are not
followed, ink can dry on the print head which could cause poor print
quality.
Cleaning the print head may remove the dried ink and improve print
quality. If cleaning does not produce satisfactory results, replace the
printer cartridge.
To clean the print head:
1. Remove the printer cartridge from the carrier.
2. Hold the printer cartridge with the print head facing down.
3. Using a damp swab, dab (do not wipe) the print head. Continue to
dab at the print head until a small amount of ink is transferred to the
swab. Do not apply excessive force as it could scratch the nozzle
area.
NOTE: If ink does not get transferred to the swab, replace the printer
cartridge.
IMPORTANT: To avoid getting ink on your hands and clothing, use the
recommended printing supplies.
