Inkjet printers perform their function quite effectively, but only until it becomes necessary to clean the ink container. With most inkjet printers, over time, a dried residue remains in the ink feed path, which occurs when the ink evaporates. This solid deposit can block the printhead. Therefore, the ink container needs to be cleaned periodically.
Instructions
Step 1
Inspect the printer. Some models have special rubber covers that cover the print head after the printer is turned off. Make sure the cover is intact and does not need to be replaced. But even with a working lid, the ink seeps out and dries over time, forming a sediment.
Step 2
As a preventive measure, use the printhead cleaning system to clean the ink path. In this case, the dried ink is dissolved by the ink itself when the printer drives it through the feed channels. They penetrate contaminated canals and soften sediment.
Step 3
Ink used to clean the printer head should be removed from the device to prevent leaks. It is for this purpose that the printer is equipped with a special container. Depending on the brand of the printer, the container can be plastic, in the form of a fiber mat, or in another design. Find the container in your printer. It can be located under the cartridge storage area or in the stand under the paper tray.
Step 4
To zero the container, use a special service program or service menu. First, unplug the power cord from the printer. Open the printer cover. Press and hold the “Power” button and connect the printer cable. Now close the printer cover and release the button. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer, then reconnect after about 10 seconds.
Step 5
Start the service program. Then follow the instructions provided with the software to select the USB port. After selecting the appropriate port, select the “set destination” zone. Thus, you have zeroed the container.
