The Print Head Nozzle Plate is located below the Print Head Carriage. Center the Carriage on the
carriage rail and using a small mirror to see your progress gently clean the Nozzle Plate between the
Print Head edges with a new RIOCH authorized Urethane Cleaning Applicator or Lint Free wipes.
Do not use any solvent based cleaners or isopropyl alcohol as they may damage the protective coating
on the print head, instead you may use Ricoh authorized Cleaning Solution.
Remove any ink residue accumulated on the Nozzle Plate. (Figure 9.3-8) When the Print Head Plate is
clean you should see the bare metal of the plate. Use care when cleaning the Nozzle Plate so as not to
scratch or touch the Print Heads. If dented or scratched, the Print Heads become unusable.
