5.4.5 Parking the Print Head
This process allows the operator to park the print head in such a way that remedial work may be
carried out in the capping station or upper carriage assembly without damaging the print head due
to ink drying in the nozzles. No tools are required for this procedure. Use protective gloves to avoid
stained fingers. Use recommended cleaning fluid ONLY.
Absorbent paper towels and the sponge & microfiber cloth (from maintenance kit) will be required
for this process.
1. Place a sponge from the cleaning kit onto the platen.
2. Pour enough cleaning fluid onto the sponge until it becomes saturated.
3. Place a piece of the white microfiber cloth (from the cleaning kit) over the top of the
sponge.
4. Unlock the carriage and slide it towards the left.
5. Align the print head face to the cloth covered sponge.
6. Carefully raise the platen bed by pressing the bed UP button until the print head face is
pressed lightly against the saturated sponge. The sponge must be compressed to NO LESS
than two thirds of its original height.
