If you see
ink on the back of a printout, you can clean the paper guide
rollers to remove any excess ink.
If printouts are smeared or scuffed, load plain paper in
the cassette in this size: Letter
(8.5 × 11 inches [216 × 279 mm]) or
A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches
[210 × 297 mm]).
Select Maintenance >
Paper Guide Cleaning.
Follow the on-screen instructions to clean the paper
guide.
Repeat these steps as necessary until the paper comes out
clean.
If the paper is still
smeared with ink, turn off the product and lift up the scanner unit
with both hands until it locks.
Using a cotton swab, wipe
off any ink smears on the part shown in the illustration
below.
Caution:
Do not use tissue paper to clean the
inside of the product as lint can clog the print head nozzles. Do
not touch the flat white cable, the translucent film, or the ink
tubes inside the product.
Close the scanner
unit.
Note: The
scanner unit is designed to close slowly with slight resistance to
help prevent injury to your fingers. Continue to close the scanner
unit even if you feel some resistance.
