Manually cleaning the print cartridge contacts If you use the printer in a dusty environment, debris may accumulate on the coppercolored contacts and cause printing problems. To clean the print cartridge contacts: 1. Gather the following items to clean the contacts: ­ Distilled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridge) ­ Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge 2. Remove the print cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the ink nozzle plate facing up. Be careful not to touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzle plate with your fingers. Caution Do not leave the print cartridge outside the printer for more than 30 minutes. Ink nozzles exposed to the air longer than this may dry out and cause printing problems. Lightly moisten a cotton swab with distilled water and squeeze any excess water from the swab. Gently wipe the copper-colored contacts with the cotton swab. Caution Do not touch the ink nozzle plate. Touching the ink nozzle plate will result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no ink residue or dust appears on a clean swab.
