Exchanging Cleaning Pads (for Photographic-Quality Color Printing)
Make sure to replace the orange-colored cleaning pad to maintain good print
quality. Replace the cleaning pad after printing every 20 sheets of Photographic-
Quality Paper or Photographic-Quality Labels. A cleaning pad is enclored in each
new package of Photographic-Quality Paper and Photographic-Quality Labels.
1. How to remove the cleaning pad
Open the front cover, and pull on the left end of the cleaning
pad while holding the right side of the pad, as shown in the
figure.
Important
The white pad (next to the cleaning pad) is not removable.
2. How to install a cleaning pad
Mount the pad on the platen so that each of the two tips of the
pad go into the holes on the platen (see the figure below).
Push the pad onto the platen to make sure the pad sits flat.
Important
Always keep a cleaning pad in the printer. Failure to do so can
cause the printer to malfunction.
