Manual printhead wiping
The manual printhead wipe has 3 functions:
• Cleans the printhead nozzle surface of waste ink, dust, debris and particles.
• Prevents dehydration of the printhead nozzles.
• Forms a wet film layer on the printhead nozzle surface, thus creating a vacuum and helps
to prevent air bubbles blocking some nozzles.
It is advised to perform a manual printhead wipe at least once a week.
Warning: Only use distilled or de-ionized water for cleaning the printhead! Never use any
chemicals or alcohol for cleaning/wiping the printhead! Chemicals and alcohol will damage the
printhead nozzles.
Required equipment:
• Rubber gloves
• Distilled water
• Lint-free cloth
