Maintain good print quality by keeping printheads clean. During printing, ink spray, paper fibers, and dust build up on the printheads. This buildup eventually degrades print quality. If you notice problems with print quality, or to prevent a buildup from occurring, wipe the printhead with a wet fiberless, lint-free cloth.
Cloth should be: | Cloth should not be: |
Soft Fiberless, lint-free Moistened with water | Abrasive Made of small fibers Dry or contain chemical additives |
Wipe slowly across the long axis with the printhead facing down (as shown). DO NOT apply excessive force, as this could scratch the nozzle area.
