Using a Swab
Use the swab from a Preventive Maintenance Kit (part number 47362) or a clean swab dipped
in a solution of isopropyl alcohol (minimum 90%) and deionized water (maximum 10%).
To clean the media path using a swab, complete these steps:
1. Press the Eject button, and remove the media cartridge from the printer.
2. Turn off (O) the printer power.
3. Press both upper cover release buttons simultaneously.
The upper cover springs partially open.
Caution • Remove all rings, watches, hanging necklaces, identification badges, or other
metallic objects that could touch the printhead or drop into the media cartridge slot.
Caution • Before proceeding, discharge any built-up static electricity by touching the
printer’s metal back plate near its power switch or by using an anti-static wriststrap and
mat.
