Print Head Care
Document ID: OMM-00174 Rev. D Pro 30f Operations Guide 54
3. Wipe the print head faces of one color in one motion toward the carriage front. Take care to wipe only one print head at a time; to
prevent contamination do not allow the wipe to contact the adjacent print heads.
Pull the used portion of wipe through your fingers as ink accumulates on the wipe. When no clean portion remains, discard the wipe.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining colors.
5. Click Purge All on the Test Printer window. (See Figure 8-4
6. Fold a DRY wipe and position parallel to the print head plate, and
repeat wiping.
NOTE: The second wiping must be with a DRY wipe to prevent
print head cleaning fluid from potentially entering the
print head.
7. Load a piece of test media.
8. In the Default Print Options dialog, select Center.
9. Print a Nozzle Check test and analyze the print quality to identify
missing nozzles.
• If the Nozzle Check test is not acceptable, go to step 1.
• If the Nozzle Check test is acceptable, the procedure is complete.
NOTE: Never wipe the print heads if the Nozzle Check test is
acceptable!
Caution: Do not apply excessive pressure. Do not try to insert the corners of the wipes into the
Print Head nozzles.
