* Color: Locations to clean in the color ink section

* OP: Locations to clean in the optimizer ink section

IMPORTANT
  • Be sure to use different cleaning sticks in the color ink section and the optimizer ink section. Using the same cleaning stick may lead to the optimizer ink and color ink mixing, resulting in ink hardening and discharge issues.
  • Do not touch the tips of the cleaning sticks with your hands. Skin oil affixing to the print head caps may lead to malfunctions.
  • Use a clean pair of tweezers to remove clumps of ink.
  • Do not use cleaning liquid other than the included cleaning liquid.
  • Do not dip the cleaning stick in the cleaning liquid bottle again during cleaning. To add cleaning liquid, use a new cleaning stick.
