Open your cartridge cover and move the cartridge carrier to the stand by position. If the printer does not automatically
move the carrier over or allow you to manually move it, go to the printer menu, enter "SETUP", select "MAINTENANCE",
and select "CHANGE INK CARTRIDGE". Once the cartridge carrier is in stand by position, remove the cartridges, and
carefully place them to the side of the printer and on top of a paper towel or any absorbent cloth in case of leakage.
Note: If your printer does not follow the same instructions to move the
cartridge carrier, please refer to your printer manual.
Next, insert a paper towel beneath the printhead (this will absorb
the cleaning fluid that you will be flushing through the
printheads).
Gently remove the round black seals (indicated by the small red
arrows in the picture to the right) on each cartridge nozzle contact
spot with the tweezers (the pic shows a removed printhead, but in
many printers the printheads cannot be removed so you may be
doing this from the inside of the printer).
Place the seals in the jar with enough cleaning solution to cover them and allow the fluid to remove any ink residue.
On the printhead, you will
notice 3 or 4 smaller nozzle
contact spots (indicated with
the number #1 in the image
to the right). There is also a
larger nozzle contact spot
indicated with the number
#0. Using a cotton swab or soft cloth, apply a small amount
of cleaning solution to each contact spot and allow it to
soak for about 3 minutes. Now, attach the flush tube to the nozzle of the syringe
tightly (if it's not already attached), and draw up around 1cc.
One at a time, attach the tip of the flush tube to the nozzle contact spots (as shown
to the right). Be sure to hold the tube in place with one hand, while injecting the
cleaning fluid into the printhead with the other. Slowly, but forcefully inject about
1-2cc into each contact spot. Pause for about 1 minute, allowing the cleaning fluid to
work its magic inside, and then continue to inject another 1-2cc's. The cleaning
fluid will collect on the paper towel below the printhead. You may repeat this process several times, and for each contact
spot, but be sure to change the paper towel each and every time you repeat the process. When you're done, don't forget to
remove the paper towel to avoid any printhead jams!
After you remove the tubing, wipe off any excess cleaning fluid and insure the cartridge carriage area is as clean and dry as
it was before the flush. Remove the seals from the jar, dry them well with a paper towel, and attached them back to their
proper nozzle locations. You can now reinstall the print head (if applicable) and the cartridges and print out a test page.
