How To Perform Printhead Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Be careful not to snag the coiled suction-head hose when removing the
suction-head from the holder.
5.
Press the Suction button to turn on the suction pump. Pick up the suction-
head from the tray at the left end of the maintenance station. Wipe the
suction-head with a new, clean lint-free wipe to remove any particles that
could damage the nozzles in the printheads.
[126] Clean Suction-Head
NOTE
In the next step, start with the left printhead and work to the right as this
limits the possibility that drops of ink will fall onto the coiled hose. Also,
do not push up too hard on the printhead as you may dislodge it and this
will require a service call to fix.
6.
Slide the suction-head slowly along the entire length of each printhead at a
speed of approximately 8mm per second (8 seconds per printhead). The
suction-head slides on stainless steel strips on the printhead. Check to see
that all ink is removed – repeat if necessary.
