Cleaning Fluid/Capping Fluid Usage
The cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series
inks) is used for cleaning and flushing print heads, the carriage face plate, and the
platen.
The cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series
inks) is also used to supply and preserve the capping station foam pads during
operation of the printer. The operator should refill the cleaning fluid (for 5500/
6600-series inks) or capping fluid (for 440-series inks) container located on the
lower right end of the printer (next to the waste bottle) when the printer indicates
the container is nearing empty.
Warning:
Do not wipe the outside painted surfaces or the Plexiglas window
of the printer with cleaning fluid (for 5500/6600-series inks) or
capping fluid (for 440-series inks). It will quickly damage the printer
surface.
