CLEANING THE PRINTHEAD

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

reduced print quality, or if you suspect an cartridge nozzle has

become slightly dried out or clogged.  Follow both the manual

and automatic method to thoroughly clean the printhead.  If the

printer has been switched off for several weeks you may have to

perform both the manual and automatic method multiple times.
Manual method:
1.  Remove the printhead using the instructions in Section 5G.
2.  Moisten a lint-free cloth

with water.

3.  Hold the cloth against the

nozzles for three seconds.

This will “wick” some

additional ink onto the

damp cloth.

4.  Wipe in one direction only.
5.  Repeat the process until all

colors appear evenly on

the cloth.

6.  Finally, clean the copper contacts on the back of the print-

head and on the carriage.

Automatic method: 
1.  Open the PTStatus monitor.
2.  Click Clean printhead on the 

Cartridge Utilities Tab

 (second tab).

3.  Follow the onscreen prompts.  You will need a sheet of

paper for this process.
