Keep the front cover closed when printing. Do not set anything on top of the printer. Make sure the power is off any time you connect or disconnect the AC adapter or interface cable. Attempting to move the cartridge holder may damage delicate mechanical parts. Place the printer where the temperature is stable and set for human comfort. Do not leave the printer in a closed vehicle; this may expose the printer to extremely high temperatures. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:06 PM Cleaning the Printer Your printer requires little routine maintenance. Perform the following maintenance, as necessary, to keep your printer in good operating condition. 1 Be very careful when cleaning the printer. Make sure the BJ cartridge is in the home position (all the way to the right). Open the front cover. 2 Clean inside the printer. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any ink mist or paper debris. Do not use paper products (such as paper towels or tissues) to clean the inside of the printer. Carefully clean the inside of the front cover where ink mist may gather. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:07 PM 3 Clean the platen area. Use a soft, dry cloth. Feed a blank sheet of paper through the printer. 4 Clean the exterior of the printer. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not clean the exterior of the printer with volatile liquids such as thinners, benzine, or any spray-type or chemical cleaners; doing so will damage the surface of the printer. Do not submerge the printer in water. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:09 PM Printing the Test Pages You can verify the print quality of your printer by printing any of several test pages.

Cleaning the Print Head Your printer is equipped with two print head cleaning functions to ensure constant high quality printing. Extensive Cleaning Requires about 60 seconds and corrects severe nozzle clogging. Because extensive cleaning consumes ink, execute this procedure only when the print quality does not improve after repeating the cleaning function. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:10 PM Cleaning the Print Head From Windows If you are using Windows, you can execute the quick cleaning procedure from the Control tab of the printer driver. Simply click on the Clean Ink Head button to clean the print head.
