5.3 Cleaning the Ink-Jet Cartridge
Fibers, such as cotton or paper, dried ink plugs or crust, or excess ink puddles on the nozzle plate can obstruct
ink droplets or cause ink droplets to deflect from the desired trajectory, resulting in a degraded print quality.
When this occurs:
1. Open the inner cover.
2. Remove the print cartridge by pushing down the plastic retainer (Fig.49).
3. Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with deionized (or distilled) water.
4. Hold the dampened cloth in contact with the nozzles for a few seconds.
5. Then gently wipe the nozzle plate in the direction of the paper movement.
Do not wipe the electrical contact area.
6. If ink remains on the nozzle plate wipe again with
a clean dry lint-free cloth.
7. Reinsert the cartridge.
8. Replace the inner cover.
Remove the ink jet cartridge when
transporting the unit and when the
unit is not used for long periods.
In case the scanner is not used
regularly, periodically clean the ink
jet nozzles with a lint-free cloth.
