CAUTION: It is very important to use only Gerber-recommended wipes and swabs
when cleaning the printheads. Use of wipes and swabs other than what is
recommended could damage the printheads. Be aware that damage caused by use of
unapproved swabs or wipes will not be covered under the standard 12 month
warranty for the Solara ion or a Gerber Service Contract. Always use new, clean
wipes and swabs on different colored printheads. Never reuse wipes and swabs.
Never substitute paper towels for wipes. Dispose of used swabs and wipes
according to local laws and regulations.
CAUTION: Use impervious gloves to protect your hands. Nitrile gloves of no less
than 8 mils have proven impervious for one hour of exposure. Gloves should be
disposed of after one hour of exposure time. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes. Dispose of used gloves according to local laws and regulations.
