3. Wipe the sensor with one of the cotton swabs provided in the User Maintenance Guide kit, slightly
dampen with Methyl acetate to remove dried ink from the sensor window.
4. If the sensor window is heavily coated with dried ink, you may need to apply some pressure while
wiping, helping the cotton to absorb the ink. Continue cleaning with fresh swabs until the cotton
stays clean and the sensor window looks clean. When reflecting ambient light, a clean sensor shows
a blue-colored reflection that should extend uniformly across its whole surface. You can see this
reflection by moving closer and slightly changing your angle of view.

6. Wait three or four minutes to let the liquid evaporate, before turning on the printer
