How to Remove Ink
How to Remove Cured Ink from the Table
Scrape any cured ink from the surface of the table with a scraper (or a razor blade in a
1.
holder).
Note:
Do not use a scraper on any of the printer skin surfaces or the Maintenance Station as
this will scratch the finish.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the scraped particles of ink and any other debris on the
2.
table surface.
Use a lint-free cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol to ensure that the table surface is clear
3.
of any remaining particles.
How to Clean Ink from the Maintenance Tray
During regular daily printhead maintenance, observe the grid on the top of the mainte-
nance station when the drawer is open. If you see any accumulation of ink, clean as follows:
Slide the door out from under the carriage to reveal the maintenance station.
1.
Wipe up the majority of the ink by blotting with an absorbent cloth.
2.
Pour some alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wipe away any ink deposits.
3.
On a new cloth, apply some alcohol and remove any residual flush or other debris.
4.
Note:
If you leave the maintenance door open and do not wipe away any deposited ink, it will
gradually cure from exposure to light and thus become very difficult to remove.
How to Unplug Vacuum Holes
Identify any vacuum holes that are plugged with ink.
1.
With an 1.5mm diameter rigid material (e.g., a paper clip), ream out any of the holes
2.
that have been plugged.
Clear any resulting debris with a vacuum cleaner or a wet lint-free cloth.
