that none of it drips onto the printer. Any excess or residual liquid should be removed by cleaning the area with a dry cloth. Failure to clean off any residual cleaning liquid could cause damage to the printer, or could adversely affect the printer's level of image quality. ● Disposal of waste must be in accordance with applicable regulations. Clean and lubricate rail strips CMYKcm - 40 Hours CMYKW - 20 Hours Ink dust and debris can accumulate on the carriage-wheel strips. These particles become obstacles and friction for the carriage wheels, which can appear as repeating output anomalies on the printed media. NOTE: Users of printers in California must disregard all references to the Printhead Flush or IPA in the instructions or when displayed on the control panel. Instead, the alternative cleaning liquid specified at the beginning of this section must be used. 1. Select from the control panel System> Tools> User Cleaning and Maintenance> 1) Clean and Lube Carriage Rail Strips. 2. Press Proceed to continue. 3. Remove output table and open the output-side door. Opening the output-side door will disable the carriage servo, allowing the carriage to be moved manually. 4. Using a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol, clean the top carriage-wheel strip from end to end on the rail (moving the carriage to clean the full length of the rail). 5. Lubricate the top carriage-wheel strip from end to end on the rail (moving the carriage to clean the full length of the rail). The included oiled rags can be reused until there is no clear surface remaining on the rag (rags should be replaced every 3 months). Clean these surfaces weekly or more frequently, depending on the amount of debris in the environment. CAUTION: Do not add additional oil to the lubrication cloths. The cloths are created to distribute a very thin film of oil. If too much oil is deposited, oil pockets can cause friction with the carriage wheels, which will produce output anomalies.
