Additional print head
cleaning If cleaning the print head using the F1 key does not provide the desired
results, you can further clean the printer by following the steps below.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. Remove the front (or back) imprinter unit from the scanner. See the
sections entitled, “Removing the front imprinter” or “Removing the
back imprinter” earlier in this chapter for instructions.
3. Remove the ink cartridge by grasping the ink cartridge holder and
pulling the tab on the ink cartridge out from the ink cartridge holder.
4. Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.
5. Hold the cloth in contact with the nozzles on the ink cartridge for a
few seconds, then gently wipe the nozzle plate. Do not wipe the
electrical contact area.
6. If ink remains on the nozzle plate, wipe again with a dry, lint-free
cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use a roller cleaning pad to clean the print head.
Do not use any material that contains alcohol when
cleaning the print head.
Spit pad replacement The back page imprinter assembly contains a spit pad that is used to
absorb any excess ink from the front page imprinter during printing. The
spit pad is located underneath the back page assembly’s entry tray.
Over time the spit pad will become saturated and will need to be
replaced. The life expectancy of the spit pad is expected to last as long
or longer than the transport rollers. Contact Technical Support for spit
pad replacement.
