CAUTIONSome types of media are prone to cock ling in the area adjacent to the heaters
if left stationary for any length  of time. Consequently it is good practice to feed approximately
20 cm of media through the printer before starting the cap cleaning to avoid any possible
damage to the printheads that could be caused by them touching any raised areas of the
media.

as possible so as not to perma nently damage the printheads.  The printer issues an audio
warning beep throughout the procedure.
