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.

using a new Anticon-covered swab for each color printhead. The printer prompts you
to
Raise shelf when done.
Note: Prior to raising the Maintenance Shelf, be sure to complete all steps for all printheads
and check the UV shield and side plates for presence of wet and/or cured ink. If PRESENT in
either form, see “Cleaning the sliding UV Shield and side plates” instructions starting on page
88 prior to proceeding.

wabs and wipes according to state and local laws and regulations.

printer returns to the home position. The

might have been exhausted during the recent procedure(s). This should be ignored as it is only
occurring because it resides in firmware and serves as a precautionary function under normal
operating conditions.
