Replacing the wiper pad

The wiper pad catches ink when the print head surface is cleaned with the wiper. When the message appears on the Utility icon in the computer's notification area, it is time to replace the wiper with a new one. Replace with new items.

For information about purchasing wiper pads, contact your authorized dealer.
