“Cleaning the Service Station”.
Cleaning the Service Station
Caution: Please be sure that you are using proper cleaning techniques to clean items that come in contact
with the printhead. Use only distilled or deionized water and lint free cloths. If you don’t follow this rule,
you will introduce contamination into the printhead; which can damage the printhead and ink system.
Wiper Roller Removal and Cleaning or Replacement
Tip: Although the wiper roller can be cleaned; this process is time-consuming. When you factor in labor
costs; you may find it more cost-effective to replace the wiper roller instead. We also recommend that the
wiper roller be replaced whenever a new printhead is installed.
Removal:
1. Lift up, about one inch, on the Wiper Motor Assembly; to expose the
latch retaining screws [C] (one at each end).
NOTE: Early versions of this assembly did not have retaining screws.
2. Carefully loosen the two small screws retaining the wiper roller latches.
Tip: To avoid loosing these screws; don’t remove the screws. You only
need to back-out the screws far enough so the latches can be opened.
3. Release the two latches that secure the wiper roller.
4. Remove the Wiper Roller from the Wiper Motor Assembly.
