Use of the cleaning cards will normally do an adequate job of cleaning the printer. However, a
separate Print head cleaning, using swabs, can remove more stubborn deposits when print
anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
1. Place the printer power switch in the OFF (0) position.
2. Open printer lid by pressing cover release button and open cover fully to reveal print head
mounted to inside of cover.
3. Clean Print Head by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across Print Head
elements. Only use moderate force.
4. Allow two to three minutes for the printhead to dry before placing the printer power

5. To reorder swabs, reference the P120
i Printer Media List.
Caution • Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the print head.
Permanent damage to the print head will result
