Washing the Ink System
If you cannot recover nozzles by running the heaviest cleaning cycle, you need to wash the print head. This
involves removing ink cartridges, installing cleaning cartridges, and then reinstalling ink cartridges. The
washing process also requires you to empty the waste ink tank several times.
Because of the amount of ink consumed, you should not perform head washing unless you cannot recover
nozzles through normal head cleaning.
Press the Maintenance button.

Cleaning the Print Head, Wiper, Caps, and Wiper Rail

Clean the print head, wiper, caps, and wiper rail at least once a week. You may need to clean them more
often if you notice blurred ink or gaps in your prints after cleaning the print head. In addition to the
maintenance kit that came with the printer, you will need protective eyewear, ink cleaner, a clean room
wipe (lint-free disposable cleaning cloth), and a metal or plastic tray (to hold parts that have been removed
for cleaning or replacement).
Note: If you need more maintenance kit supplies, you can order an Additional Printer Maintenance Kit. See
page 34 for ordering information.
Caution: To clean ink stains that cannot be removed with cleaning swabs alone, apply ink cleaner to a swab. Ink
cleaner should be used only to clean the area around the wiper, caps, and print head. Used ink cleaner should be
disposed of in the same way as used ink.
Caution: You must complete this cleaning process within 10 minutes to prevent the print head from drying out.
