Wiping the print cartridge nozzles and contacts

If the print quality does not improve after cleaning the print cartridge
nozzles, dried ink may be on the nozzles or contacts. To wipe the print
cartridge nozzles and contacts:

1

Remove the print cartridges. For help, see page 38.

2

Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.

3

Hold the cloth against the gold nozzle area for about three seconds.
Gently blot and wipe dry in one direction (this prevents the colors in
the color cartridge from mixing).

4

Hold a clean, damp section of cloth against the contacts for about
three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry in one direction.
