Carriage Underside Cleaning
The underside of the carriage becomes coated with ink wiped off by the wiper. Continuing to use the dirty
carriage underside will rub dried ink and attached dust on to the media, resulting in contaminated prints.
The print head uses an extremely delicate mechanism. Take great care when handling it.
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
