4. Moisten one of the foam swabs supplied with the instrument (→ "Fig. 55-1") with some alcohol.
Be sure not to use too much alcohol – no alcohol may drip into the instrument.
Warning
Never use acetone or xylene! Only use 95 % or 100 % alcohol for cleaning purposes.
5. Carefully insert the swab into the gap under the print head (→ "Fig. 55"). Apply light pressure
upwards (on the print head) and move the foam swab back and forth (approx. 10 times). This
procedure removes dried ink residues.
Warning
Never rotate the swab – this can damage the nozzle plate of the print head.
