Important notes on this procedure
• Before aempng this operaon, remove any media.
• To prevent the print heads from drying out, nish this procedure in 30 minutes or less. A warning beep sounds aer 30 minutes.
• Never use any implements other than the included cleaning scks. Coon swabs or other lint-producing items may damage the
print heads.
• Use only the included cleaning liquid.
• Use one cleaning sck per cleaning session, and then discard the sck aer use. Reusing cleaning scks will adversely aect the
