Cleaning the Head and the Area around It
Because the head employs a very precise mechanism, due care needs to be taken when it is cleaned.
Using a clean stick, etc., rub off gelatinous ink or dust that may stick to the lower part of the slider and the area
around the head.In doing so, never rub the nozzles of the head.
