Clean the carriage rails manually
1. Standing at the front of the printer, clean the front rail 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 use a VOC-certified cleaner such as a properly diluted Simple Green All-
Purpose Cleaner.
