CLEANING THE PRINTHEAD

It may be necessary to clean the printhead nozzles if you notice

reduced print quality, missing colors or if you suspect an 

cartridge nozzle has become slightly dried out or clogged.  

Try the following solutions:
1. Secure 

Cartridges. Make sure the corresponding cartridge

is snapped into place. Remove and reseat the cartridge to

make sure an air tight connection has been made. You

should hear a "click" when the cartridge is installed 

properly.

2.  Clean the Copper Contacts. Ink over spray can build up

inside the printer over time causing interrupted electrical

signals. Remove the printhead and clean the copper 

contacts on the printhead carrier and the printhead.

towel. This can damage the nozzles! This may be different 

that previous printers or even from what was printed in the

manual. Instead used the methods described below:
3A. Automatic Method (THIS WILL FIX MOST QUALITY

PROBLEMS!)
1.  Open the PTStatus monitor.
2. Click 

Clean Printhead on the 

Cartridge Utilities Tab

 

(second tab). 

3.  Follow the onscreen prompts. Make sure that "Purge 

cartridge before clean print" is also checked. 

You will need a sheet of paper for this process. You may need

to repeat this process up to 4 times depending on how clogged

the printhead is. Only repeat the procedure if you start to see

improvement after each clean print.
