Cleaning The Print Head - Brother MFC-J6510DW User Manual

Note
In addition to cleaning the glass strip with
a non-flammable glass cleaner, run your
finger tip over the glass strip to see if you
can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or
debris, clean the glass strip again
concentrating on that area. You may need
to repeat the cleaning process three or
four times. To test, make a copy after each
cleaning attempt.
i
When there is a
spot of dirt or
correction fluid
on the glass strip
the printed
sample shows a
vertical line.
After the glass
strip is cleaned
the vertical line is
gone.
Routine maintenance

Cleaning the print head

To maintain good print quality, the machine
will automatically clean the print head when
needed. You can start the cleaning process
manually if there is a print quality problem.
Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you
get a horizontal line in the text or graphics, or
blank text on your printed pages. You can
clean Black only, three colours at a time
(Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colours at
once.
Cleaning the print head consumes ink.
Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT touch the print head. Touching
the print head may cause permanent
damage and may void the print head's
warranty.

colour. Try cleaning the print head again
up to five more times. If the print has not
improved call your Brother dealer.
