Part Number J1044060

1. Prepare the Cleaning Jig:
• Insert the cleaning pads into the designated areas of the head cleaning jig. Ensure they are seated flat and secure.
• Using the dropper, apply Ricoh Cleaning Liquid Type 1 to the cleaning pads, focusing on the areas that will contact the edges of the print heads.
• On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Maintenance tab.
• Select Jig Head Maintenance.
• Choose the carriage to clean (White or Color) based on the maintenance prompt.
• Press Cleaning to begin the process.
2. Position the Cleaning Jig:
• The printer's table will lower to the jig loading position.
• Once the table stops moving, place the prepared cleaning jig onto the front of the table base, ensuring it sits flat and is properly aligned.
• Press Start on the control panel to commence the automatic cleaning sequence, which takes approximately 7 minutes.
3. Inspect the Print Heads:
• After the cleaning cycle, the table will return to its original position, and a prompt will appear to confirm the cleanliness of the heads.
• Open the printer's lid and visually inspect the print heads. While they don't need to be spotless, ensure there are no significant ink deposits.
• If necessary, gently use a dry cleaning applicator or lint-free wipe to remove any remaining ink.
4. Finalize the Maintenance:
• Close the printer's lid and press OK on the control panel.
• Remove the cleaning jig from the table base.
• Note: You can flip the cleaning pads to use the other side for the next cleaning session.
