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.

5. Reposition the wipe so that a clean area is exposed.
6. Proceed to the next space between printheads and slide the clean area of
cloth along the metal plate.
7.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 until all ink is removed from the spaces between
printheads. Use a new cloth wipe, if necessary.
NOTE
Check for ink on a daily basis, especially 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.
8. Slide the maintenance station drawer to the closed position (unless you
are going to also perform printhead maintenance).
