Continuing to use the dirty platen will prevent proper feeding of the media. It will also cause dried ink and
attached dust to rub against the head nozzle surface and lead to print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging,
deflection).
• The grooves in which the media holder slides and the media is cut are susceptible to dust
accumulation. Remove any debris carefully.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in dilute detergent and thoroughly wrung out.
