Phaser 140 Color Printer
Cleaning the ink jets
On the printhead are four ink jets through which individual color ink 
droplets are propelled onto the paper.  The ink jets must be kept free from 
paper particles and dust in order to maintain a high degree of print quality.      
Note
The printer regularly performs the ink jet cleaning automatically 
to clear away paper particles or dust accumulated on the four ink 
jets.  This automatic cleaning takes about 70 seconds.  During 
automatic cleaning, the 
POWER indicator blinks.  The printer 
may perform automatic cleaning during print jobs.  
To clean the ink jets:
1.
On the front panel, press the down arrow 
(ß) key until the front 
panel displays this message:
CLEAN HEADS
2.
Press the right arrow (
Þ) key until the front panel displays this 
message:
clean heads
3.
Press the SELECT button.  The printer cleans the ink jets.  During 
the cleaning process, you cannot display other menus or menu 
choices.  When the cleaning is complete, the front panel continues 
to display the clean heads message.
