Media Holder Cleaning
Continuing to use a dirty media holder will prevent correct media detection or proper feeding of the media. It
will also cause dried ink and attached dust to rub against the head nozzle surface and lead to ejection
failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Turn off the main power supply and unplug the power cable before carrying out maintenance.
