5.3 Cleaning the Ink Jet Cartridge (*Optional)
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 pushing down the plastic retainer.
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.
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.
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 lint-free cloth.
* If the unit was purchased without the endorser option then the unit
is shipped without an ink cartridge and that one is not needed to run the device.
