5.4 Cleaning the HP 51604A rev.B 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 pulling down the small plastic lever.
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 (Fig.51).
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 by pushing it into holder and then pull
the small plastic lever all the way up using the tab provided.
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
fiberless cloth.
