Cap Rubber Cleaning
The cap prevents the print head nozzle surface from drying out. Continuing to use a dirty cap may affect ink
take-up and lead to print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, 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).
