Maintenance 29
5. Once the printhead is completely dry, shut the Printhead
Assembly and Top Cover. If a streak persists, perform the
steps in Section III.
III. EXPANDED PRINTHEAD CLEANING
Perform if you have a streak on the printed output that canÕt be
solved by the Standard Printhead Cleaning procedure. To
maintain your printerÕs high quality of printing, this procedure
should also be performed approximately every 2,500 prints as
part of the printerÕs general maintenance program.
1. Open the Top Cover of the printer by gently grasping the
front sides of the cover and lifting upward. The cover will
tilt open from front-to-back.
2. Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the
assemblyÕs 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
PAINT, RUBBER, AND PLASTIC.
4. Allow the printhead to thoroughly dry before closing the
Printhead Assembly and Top Cover. If a streak persists,
contact your authorized reseller for further assistance.
IV. CLEANING THE PRINTER’S CASE
Quatro has a durable casing that should retain its luster and
appearance for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water or a mild soap. Do not use
excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind. Never spray the
cabinet with a cleaner. Rather, spray the cloth first, then wipe
down the printer.
