Swabbing Printheads
Perform as required. Monitor the diagnostic strip and swab heads if a recovery purge of
the problem color does not resolve the problem. The required swab frequency will
depend on many factors such as: printer duty cycle used, print volume, and media/air
cleanliness.
Items Required:
•
Foam Tipped Swabs (0505-0285)
•
Flush
•
Butyl Gloves (3010101760)
