Cleaning
I wouldn't be using the power cleaning unless you want to replace the heads. It will put a lot of pressure on the pump and heads. You need to get a few syringes. Fill them with cleangn fluid and try cleaning the lines.
I'll bet all the lines are clogged. Start from the back and work forward. Workl on the heads last so you don't jam any more crap into them. It would be best just to replace the tubing going to the cartridges and the heads, pump etc. but you can try cleaning them to save some money.
Disconnect the lines under the capping station. Try to pushing fluid to the drain bottle first. If the lines are clogged run a small wire down them with cleanignfluid. Careful not to puncture the tubing. Once that is cleard do the same to the rubber caps for eeach head.
Then disconnect the tubing for the heads. Try pulling ink to the heads, If you get ink from each one go to the last step. If they are clogged dothe samethink with a wire. Those are real long so they may have to be replaced unless you try soaking them. That may not work though. Once you have the feed lines and drain lines clogged you can work on the dampers and heads.
The first step would be to locate the heads to the right and try to pull ink with the syringe from each cap. You need to have a good seal to do this or you will hear it leak. Replace the rubbers if they are leaking. All the time watch to see if the dampers fills with ink. You can squeeze one feed line to the damper to pull more on the other if only one is clogged.
Now plug the drain lines and fill the capping station with cleaning fluid. Put the heads in the closed position and let soak overnight. Try to pull ink with the syringe the next day. Make sure you don't push ink into the heads or you may push in dried particles.
If all the lines are clean the last resort is to remove the heads and soak them in a jar overnight. Then fill an syringe with cleaning fluid and blow through them. They should spray evenly out all the nozzles.
Once you can pull ink through the heads the machien shouldwork. Dopa normal cleaning and test print.
Remember when ever you disconnect any lines or tubes put a plug in so they don't get air in them and dry out even more.
Get some plastic gloves and cover the floor with newspaper or you will have a mess. Get a roll of
paper towels but don't use them on the machine or the particles will end up in the heads. Don't even touch the heads surface with anything even the
swabs. Only use the special
swabs to clean the capping station and wipers.
Good Luck
