Clean the printhead contacts on the printhead
1. Place the printheads on a table.
2. Clean the parts of the printhead away from the contacts with a soft brush; and then with a cloth
moistened with water.
3. Clean the contact side of the printhead with a lint-free cloth moistened with a general-purpose
industrial cleaner, such as Simple Green industrial cleaner. Remove any remaining soap foam with
a clean cloth dampened with deionized water.
4. Clean the printhead nozzles with a different cloth moistened with deionized water.
CAUTION: Make sure to use deionized water and not the industrial cleaner for this step.
5. Wipe the printhead dry with a similar but dry cloth.
