Windex or a mild dish soap & water solution). Remove media from printer and wipe

6. Flex Driver Cables (lint-free towel or lint-free swab 

dampened with Windex solution or isopropyl alcohol). 
Remove all print heads from carriage assembly. Thoroughly 
clean all 6 (six) carriage flex driver cables; ensure no lint 
fibers or ink residues remain on cable surfaces. 

 Routine cleaning of the flex driver cables is very 

important when the printer is running in certain print 
modes [print pass modes 2, 3, 4 and GB Mode available in firmware >2.1.0].  
 

 If ink residue is observed on cable surfaces at any time printing should 

be immediately suspended and a flex cable and rear cartridge cleaning 
maintenance actions should be performed. Also refer to section B below. 

 
 
            
  

 Print heads may become damaged if media is allowed to scrape 

against the lower jet plate surface during printing or through direct contact with 
ink residues on service station seals when the carriage is at the home position.
