2. Turn the cover plate over and clean the underside using a lint-free cloth and Isopropyl alcohol
(IPA) or Surface Cleaner. Also if you see any ink on the plate that supports the cover clean that as
well.
3. From the Tools and Utility tab menu, click on the Move Carriage to move it to the center and
expose the AMS. Click on either the Right or Left button to apply vacuum to the suction heads for
30 seconds (Right is the primary AMS located near where the carriage parks and Left is the
secondary AMS).
IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that you NOT apply any downward pressure on the suction
head. If a suction head is pressed down more than 1mm (0.039in) its suction plate can
be damaged and automatic printhead maintenance will not work properly. A service
visit is required to fix a damaged mounting plate.
