Printer Maintenance
If print quality is unacceptable, try the following:
• Adjust the media thickness knob to see if print quality
improves. If the Print Heads are too high above the
envelope, fuzzy printing results. If the knob is adjusted
too low, envelopes jam or print smears.
• From the Setup Menu, select Purge Print Head. The
purging process clears any clogged ink on the print
nozzles. Often this returns the print quality to a normal
level. See Appendix A, Control Panel Menus, for
information on using this feature.
• Clean the print heads on each Print Cartridge: Remove
the cartridge as described on page 5-2.
Dampen a soft cotton cloth with water and
wipe the nozzles clean (wipe in the proper
directions).
• Install a new Print Cartridge (page 5-3).
Preventive
Maintenance
CAUTION! Clean Print Cartridges, ink surfac-
es and covers with plain water only. (Water
works best!)
Clean all rubber rollers with isopropyl, dena-
tured or rubbing alcohol only.
Use of any other cleaning solvents will dam-
age the rollers.
Keep petroleum-based cleaning solvents
away from rubber or plastic parts. Anything
but alcohol will cause premature breakdown
of the rubber compound.
