17 Dispose of swab according to state and local laws and regulations.
18 The printer now begins to calibrate the ink level and reestablishes ink pressure. This
process may take two to three minutes and a progress bar displays.
19 When finished, the system prompts you to
Replace Head Access Door.
20 After the head access door is installed the screen prompts you to
Lower shelf and swab
printheads.
21 Lower the Maintenance Shelf by pushing down in the middle of the shelf. Do not push
on either end of the shelf as it causes the shelf to twist.
22 Place 3-5 drops of Daily Maintenance Solution onto a new Anticon-covered swab. See
photo above.
23 Wipe the left-most printhead from back to front 2 times at a 45 angle, using light
pressure, by holding the swab in the middle of the stick, between the thumb and index
finger as pictured below.
CAUTION: Never reuse old swabs to clean the printhead. Never use the same
Anticon-covered swab on two different color printheads.
After purging, use a Daily
Maintenance Solution-moistened
swab to wipe the Purge Block
