Always use the cleaning swab for the
print head once only. Never rotate the
swab—this can damage the nozzle
plate of the print head.
Important!
Turn the printer off and disconnect it from the power supply at this point to prevent damage to
the print head.
Never use a cleaning cartridge together with a location plate (70)!
Do not reinstall a used transport plate (73), as it will no longer completely seal the print head.
