In order to clean the bottom plate, access it from the output cover. See General cleaning instructions on page 4. 2. After cleaning, ensure that the cleaned parts are completely dry and that all vapor has completely evaporated. Clean the substrate-advance sensor Remember that porous substrates, or substrates with porous liners, are not supported without the ink-collector accessory and should not be used with your printer. However, under normal printing conditions with non-porous substrates, some dirt, dust, and ink aerosol can reach the substrate-advance sensor window and impair the performance of the sensor. 1. Open the window. 2. Find the substrate-advance sensor in the middle of the platen. 3. Clean the platen area around the sensor thoroughly with a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water. See General cleaning instructions on page 4. 4. Wipe the sensor window with a cotton swab. If the sensor window is heavily coated with dry ink, you may need to apply some pressure while wiping, helping the cotton to absorb the ink.
