16. Clean the print head with alcohol (95 %-100 %) and the provided cleaning swabs
(→ "Fig. 61-1"). This involves pushing the swab underneath the print head, raising it with
slight pressure (onto the print head) and moving from the bottom right to the top left (along the
sealing lip). Turn the swab slightly after each upward movement.

Note
Always use the cleaning swab for the print head once only. Never rotate the swab – as this can
damage the nozzle plate of the print head.
17. Then push in the new black transport plate (→ "Fig. 62-1") as far as it will go.

18. Push the small lever (→ "Fig. 59-2") back down to secure the replacement plate.
19. Press any button to close the print head.
Warning
If pressing a button does not end the replacement of the exchange plate, the printer automatically
closes the print head after 2.5 min. A signal sounds 30 s before it automatically closes and a
countdown appears on the display. In order to avoid damage to the print head, avoid inserting the
transport plate at this time; instead wait until the print head closes and repeat the operation to insert
the transport plate.
20. Close the printer hood.
21. Retighten the red cap (→ "Fig. 58-2") on the transport cartridge and close the cover plate on
the side of the printer.
