Feb 05, 2025

To clean the printer after using jumbo roll sublimation paper, the following are specific steps and methods:

 

1. External Cleaning

* Cut off the power: Before cleaning the printer, be sure to cut off the power of the printer to ensure safe operation.

* Wipe the shell: Use a soft, clean damp cloth to gently wipe the printer's shell to remove dust, stains, and paper scraps on the surface. For stubborn stains, you can dip a small amount of mild detergent, but be careful to avoid the detergent flowing into the inside of the printer.

* Clean the paper inlet and outlet: Use a small brush or a soft brush head of a vacuum cleaner to clean the paper scraps and dust from the paper inlet and outlet to prevent them from entering the inside of the printer and affecting normal operation.

 

2. Internal Cleaning

* Open the printer cover: According to the printer's operating manual, open the cover of the printer to access the internal parts.

* Clean the nozzle: The nozzle cleaning method of different printers may be different. Generally speaking, it can be automatically cleaned through the cleaning function in the printer's driver software. If the automatic cleaning effect is not good, you can use a special nozzle cleaning liquid, drop the cleaning liquid on a clean cotton swab or paper towel, and gently wipe the surface of the nozzle. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the nozzle.

* Clean the roller: Wipe the roller of the printer with a clean damp cloth or a cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol to remove the ink and paper scraps attached to the roller. Ensure that the roller can rotate normally and avoid affecting the paper delivery.

* Remove waste ink: Some printers have waste ink collection devices, which need to be cleaned regularly. Find the waste ink collection box, take it out and pour out the waste ink, then wipe the inside of the collection box with a damp cloth, and then reinstall it back to the printer.

* Check and clean other parts: Check whether there is other visible dust or debris inside the printer. If so, clean it carefully with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Pay special attention to cleaning parts such as sensors and gears to ensure that they are not contaminated by ink or debris.

 

After cleaning, close the printer cover, turn on the power, run the printer's self-test program, and check whether the printer is working properly. During the cleaning process, strictly follow the printer's manual to avoid damaging the printer due to improper operation.
