Open your cartridge cover and move the cartridge carrier to the stand by position. If the printer does not automatically <br />move the carrier over or allow you to manually move it, go to the printer menu, enter "SETUP", select "MAINTENANCE", <br />and select "CHANGE INK CARTRIDGE". Once the cartridge carrier is in stand by position, remove the cartridges, and <br />carefully place them to the side of the printer and on top of a paper towel or any absorbent cloth in case of leakage. <br />Note: If your printer does not follow the same instructions to move the <br />cartridge carrier, please refer to your printer manual. <br />Next, insert a paper towel beneath the printhead (this will absorb <br />the cleaning fluid that you will be flushing through the <br />printheads). <br />Gently remove the round black seals (indicated by the small red <br />arrows in the picture to the right) on each cartridge nozzle contact <br />spot with the tweezers (the pic shows a removed printhead, but in <br />many printers the printheads cannot be removed so you may be <br />doing this from the inside of the printer). <br />Place the seals in the jar with enough cleaning solution to cover them and allow the fluid to remove any ink residue. <br />On the printhead, you will <br />notice 3 or 4 smaller nozzle <br />contact spots (indicated with <br />the number #1 in the image <br />to the right). There is also a <br />larger nozzle contact spot <br />indicated with the number <br />#0. Using a cotton swab or soft cloth, apply a small amount <br />of cleaning solution to each contact spot and allow it to <br />soak for about 3 minutes. Now, attach the flush tube to the nozzle of the syringe <br />tightly (if it's not already attached), and draw up around 1cc. <br />One at a time, attach the tip of the flush tube to the nozzle contact spots (as shown <br />to the right). Be sure to hold the tube in place with one hand, while injecting the <br />cleaning fluid into the printhead with the other. Slowly, but forcefully inject about <br />1-2cc into each contact spot. Pause for about 1 minute, allowing the cleaning fluid to <br />work its magic inside, and then continue to inject another 1-2cc's. The cleaning <br />fluid will collect on the paper towel below the printhead. You may repeat this process several times, and for each contact <br />spot, but be sure to change the paper towel each and every time you repeat the process. When you're done, don't forget to <br />remove the paper towel to avoid any printhead jams! <br />After you remove the tubing, wipe off any excess cleaning fluid and insure the cartridge carriage area is as clean and dry as <br />it was before the flush. Remove the seals from the jar, dry them well with a paper towel, and attached them back to their <br />proper nozzle locations. You can now reinstall the print head (if applicable) and the cartridges and print out a test page. <br />If you know more about Visit here http://www.inkedibles.com
