Digital BW, The Print

Bernhard,

You should use a paper towel (or piece of thin kitchen sponge)that 
has been soaked in Windex/Glassex to clean the printhead. 

This is how I do it:

1 - Press paper button for 4 seconds, the print head should be to the 
left.

2 - Pull power cord.

3 - Tear paper towel in 1/2.  (A full sheet is too thick when 
folded). Btw, I prefer thin kitchen sponge: it is stronger.

4 - Fold paper towel and lay it in the black plastic channel below 
where the print head travels back and forth.

5 - Work the print head up over the paper towel (We are doing this on 
a dry paper towel so we can get the print head over it about an inch 
or two.). 

6 - When the print head is up on the paper towel, squirt some Windex 
on the paper towel, and then move the printhead back and forth to 
scrub off the bottom.

7 - Move the print head off the towel, pull the towel up and get 
everything cleaned up.

8 - Push the print head over to the right parked position.

9 - Plug in the printer and turn it on.

10 - Print the nozzle check and do a couple cleaning cycles as 
required to get any paper towel fibers off the bottom of the print 
head.  They clean right up - and are worth it because you have 
removed any large buildups from the bottom of the print head. If your 
nozzle check is not perfect after a few cleanings, wait and try again 
later.

Succes,
