4. Maintenance
4.1 Ink Nozzle Cleaning
To ensure optimal print quality and prevent clogging, regular cleaning of the ink nozzle is essential. If prints are unclear or incomplete, it may be due to ink drying or nozzle clogging. This can be resolved by following the cleaning procedure:
- Wet a tissue with alcohol.
- Cover the ink cartridge nozzle with the tissue and shake the cartridge vigorously up and down.
- Drag the ink cartridge across the tissue to print two lines.
- If streaks persist, repeat the above steps.
4.2 Post-Use Care
After each use, remember to remove the ink cartridge from the printer. Wipe the nozzle surface again and clean any residual ink on the protection cap. Cover the protective cap to prevent ink from drying. Store the cartridge in a cool, dry, and shaded area.
