Chapter 5 Handling the Product Cleaning the Product Cleaning the Exterior After turning of the product, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it off. Before doing so, be sure to unplug the AC cable from the power outlet. Do not use alcohol, benzine, thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone based solvent to clean the exte- rior of the printer. Doing so may deform or damage the plastic and rubber parts. 5 67 CAUTION Ink Head Cleaning If printing becomes blurred or uneven, even though there is sufficient ink remaining, it means that the ink hea d needs cleaning. On the LCD home screen, press the Cleaning button (Button 1). This will display a confirmation message.
Press the Yes button (Button 2) to perform the cleaning operation. This starts cleaning and causes the (POWER) LED to flash. The (POWER) LED stops flashing whe n cleaning is complete.
