Printhead

After allowing the printhead to cool for approximately one

minute, use 70% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab to

clean the print elements from end to end (the print

elements are located in the thin gray line on the printhead).

NOTE: You do not have to turn off the printer to do this.
If print quality has not improved after performing this

procedure, try cleaning the printhead with

Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated

material removes contamination buildup without

damaging the printhead. Call your authorized reseller for

more information.
