Replace a tissue ribbon
Printheads are automatically cleaned with wet tissue ribbon according to a cleaning scheme. A
roll of tissue ribbon is enclosed in a cassette. For each ink color and the ColorGrip liquid two
cassettes (labeled L and R) with ribbon are available. (

When one or more tissue ribbons are nearly used up, the dashboard indicates that the tissue
cassettes must be replaced. (

Replace the used tissue ribbons soon after you replace the tissue cassettes, so that you keep a
stock of cassettes with new tissue ribbons.
