Clean Carriage Underside
Note:
The Océ IJC256 ink formulation causes a more sticky ink build-up between nozzle plates
when compared to Océ IJC255 ink. This ink build-up requires cleaning with a lint-free
cloth wetted with flush, rather than a dry one. Follow up with a dry cloth to ensure that
all residual flush is cleaned from the surface. This ensures that the flush will not attract
particulate matter from the environment and media surfaces, which can be re-deposited
on the recently cleaned surface.

Reposition the wipe so that a clean area is exposed.

Proceed to the next space between printheads and slide the clean area of cloth along the

metal plate.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 until all ink is removed from the spaces between printheads. Use a
7.
new cloth wipe, if necessary.
Note:
Check for ink on a daily basis, especialy at the end of the day in case ink has accumulated
on the nozzle plates. If ink is left to long it will dry and be very difficult to remove.
Slide the maintenance station drawer to the closed position (unless you are going to also
