CAUTION
Keeping the head cleaner clean is extremely important to keep the ink eject system in the
printhead working properly, and it directly affects print quality. Therefore, handle the
head cleaner very carefully, and observe the following precautions:
❒ Never touch the head cleaner with your bare hands.
❒ When attaching the head cleaner to the pump unit, place the rubber face of the head
cleaner toward the right, using gloves and clean tweezers.
