Wiper Cleaning
The wiper wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. Continuing to use with a dirty wiper may
cause dried ink and attached dust to damage the head nozzle surface, and could lead to ejection failures
(e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• 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).
