7. Take the bottle of oil from the Maintenance Kit that is supplied with your printer (a replacement kit can

NOTE: While lubricating, be careful not to drop oil on the metal strip located on top of the rail.
9. Clean the substrate jam reflector using a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water. If you find dried
ink that you cannot remove, try using a lint-free cloth dampened with Isopropyl alcohol.
NOTE: If you are in an area (such as California) that regulates VOC cleaning and maintenance fluids,
instead of isopropyl alcohol please use a VOC-certified cleaner such as a properly diluted Simple Green
All-Purpose Cleaner.
10. Press OK at the front panel.
11. Close and lock the window.
12. The Carriage Assembly moves along the rail to distribute the oil along the rail.
13. The Front Panel prompts for confirmation that the lubrication processes has been done. Press OK to
confirm.
Maintain the ink cartridges
During the normal lifetime of a cartridge, no specific maintenance is required. You should replace a cartridge
when it has reached its expiration date. See the ink cartridge information on the front panel for the expiration
date.
