Manually Cleaning Inkjet Cartridges
To manually clean inkjet cartridges, we recommend using a Cartridge Wipe material (Rena part
# 2023). This is a high quality, lint free material. We also suggest the use of distilled water in the
cleaning process. Please note that the use of “abrasive materials” and water, which has mineral
content in it, may cause damage to the ink cartridge nozzles and or clog ink cartridge nozzles.
How to Manually Clean Ink Cartridges:
• Place a drop of distilled water on the edge of the Cartridge Wipe cloth.
• Start by placing the nose of the cartridge onto this wet area.
• Using a small amount of downward force, slowly pull the cartridge from the wet area,
across the dry area of the Cartridge Wipe, while slowly decreasing the amount of
downward force.
• Repeat this procedure a few times. Make sure you only clean the cartridge in one
direction. Either from the front of the head to the back of the head, or from back to front.
Cartridge Wipes (Rena Part# 2023 = 100 wipes per pack) may be purchased
through your local Rena Dealer.
INKJET CARTRIDGE STORAGE
Since the DA608 model has a “built in” cartridge sealing station, there is no need to remove and
manually seal cartridges when the DA608 is not in use. Just be sure you give the printer enough
time to seal the cartridge (park the print head) before powering it off. If not, the cartridge nozzles
will clog and in some cases the cartridge may no longer produce acceptable print quality results.
WIPER MAINTENANCE
To ensure good print quality, the cartridge cleaning lip (wiper) in your Rena printer model DA608
must be manually cleaned on a routine basis. A dirty or worn wiper will clog ink cartridge
nozzles. Worn wipers should be replaced by a qualified Rena service person.
+
To avoid possible injury, wiper cleaning should only
be performed while the printer is powered off.
It is recommended that wipers be cleaned at the
beginning or end of each day of use.
Procedure for Cleaning Wipers
• Turn off power to the printer.
• Carefully slide the print head carriage away from the cartridge cleaning/sealing area.
• Using a Cartridge Wipe, lightly moistened with distilled water, clean ink from the wiper and
the area surrounding the wiper. You may need to perform this procedure a few times to
remove all ink.
NOTE: Foam tipped swabs may initially be used, to remove excessive ink from the
wiper and the area around the wiper. A final cleaning, using a Cartridge Wipe, is
recommended to insure that any lint, left behind from the swab, is removed. If lint, or
other debris, is left on the wiper, the wiper will not perform properly.
