Expanded Printhead Cleaning
Perform if you have a streak on the printed output that can’t be solved by the Standard
Printhead Cleaning procedure. To maintain the Printer’s high quality of printing, this
procedure should also be performed approximately every 2,500 prints as part of the Printer’s
general maintenance program.
Step Procedure
1 Open the Top Cover of the Printer by gently grasping the front sides of the
Cover and lifting upward. (Note: The Cover will tilt open from front-to-back._
2 Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the assembly’s Release
Tab and lifting upward. Allow the assembly to swing completely open.
3 Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with acetone to wipe off the surface
of the Printhead. Be extremely careful not to use too much acetone. It must not
be allowed to drip into the Printer!
Caution: Acetone is a very powerful solvent. Do not apply acetone
to any other area of the Printer, since it will destroy the finish of the paint,
rubber and plastic.
4 Allow the Printhead to thoroughly dry before closing the Printhead Assembly
and Top Cover. If a streak persists, contact the authorized reseller for further
assistance.
