quality, as instructed below. This procedure should also be performed approximately every

Printhead. It will damage the Printhead. Watches, rings, bracelets and other jewelry can
damage the Printhead if accidentally bumped against it. For best results, remove such items
before touching any internal components of Printer.

and forth across the surface of the Printhead.
