Attention: In the next step, make sure that you do not touch the nozzles of the
printheads. If you happen to touch one with the cloth, you must perform a

than the suction-head used for maintenance can cause damage to the nozzles and
result in poor image quality or possibly require a printhead replacement.
Slide the cloth along the metal plate between the first two printheads to remove any
4.
ink that has accumulated.
Reposition the wipe so that a clean area is wrapped around your finger.
5.
Proceed to the next space between printheads and slide the clean area of cloth along
6.
the metal plate.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 until all ink is removed from the spaces between printheads. Use
