Applying heavy pressure is not necessary to clean the particles off of the printhead. - Page 9 When the cartridge is removed from the carriage, it is important to hold the cartridge by the black side covers of the cartridge. The print cartridge should never be shaken, dropped, or hit against a hand or any hard surface. Never use industrial paper towels, toilet paper or sponge to wipe the printhead.
