Printer Maintenance
If print quality is unacceptable, try the following:
• From the Main Menu, select Purge Print Head. The
purging process clears any clogged ink on the print
nozzles. Often this returns the print quality to a normal
level. See Appendix A, Control Panel Menus, for
information on using this feature.
• Clean the print heads on each Print Cartridge.
Remove the cartridge as described on page
5-2. Dampen a soft cotton cloth with water
and wipe the nozzles clean (wipe in the proper
directions).
• Install a new Print Cartridge (page 5-3).
Preventive
Maintenance
CAUTION!
Clean Print Cartridges, ink sur-
faces and covers with plain water only. (Water
works best!)
Clean all rubber rollers with isopropyl, dena-
tured or rubbing alcohol only.
Use of any other cleaning solvents will dam-
age the rollers.
Keep petroleum-based cleaning solvents
away from rubber or plastic parts. Anything but
alcohol will cause premature breakdown of the
rubber compound.
