How to Clean Inkjet Printer Rollers (4 Steps)

1. Wet a paper towel with water and squeeze out all excess moisture to leave the towel damp.
2. Fold the paper towel into fourths. Hold one of the folded edges and gently lower it to the inkjet printer's rollers from the back, as if you were putting in a piece of paper to be used to print. Apply a small amount of pressure.
3. Press the 'Paper Advance' button, or the button on your printer that feeds the paper through when there is a jam. This will pull the damp paper towel through the rollers, removing all debris and leaving them clean.
4. Repeat across the length of the rollers to ensure that they all get cleaned. Allow a few minutes to air dry.

How to Hook Up an Aftermarket Radio to a Factory Bose

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (or grounding cable) from the vehicle's battery. The grounding cable is the black cable that connects the battery to the frame or chassis of the vehicle. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the cable's clamp. Remove the clamp from the negative lead post.
2. Remove the factory installed Bose stereo deck from the vehicle's dash. Removal procedures vary among vehicles. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions.
3. Disconnect the wiring groups at the rear of the factory stereo. The four groups of wires are for the antenna, the amplifier, the speakers and the power supply.
4. Install a faceplate adapter to the opening left vacant by the old stereo unit. The adapter will make a slot accepting of a new stereo receiver.
5. Connect the wiring from the vehicle to a wiring harness adapter. The wiring harness adapter will provide a uniform platform for connecting to an aftermarket stereo receiver.
6. Connect the wiring harness adapter leads to the new aftermarket stereo. The Bose speaker connections will attach to the wiring harness adapter at the appropriately color-coded points.
7. Slide the aftermarket radio into the slot provided by the universal faceplate adapter. Replace any paneling that may have been required for stereo installation.
8. Reconnect the grounding cable to the vehicle's battery. Place the cable's clamp around the negative lead post of the battery. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the cable's bolt. The clamp needs to be tightened only enough to prevent the clamp from being able to be moved around the negative lead post by hand.

How to Set a Printer for Iron

1. Choose the setting in your printer's dialog box that will reverse an image. It is usually called 'Mirror,' 'Flip,' or 'Reverse.' Some printers have setting options that specifically say 'T-shirt Transfer Sheet' or 'Back Print Film' as well. Choosing one of these options will ensure that when you iron the design onto the T-shirt the image, including any text, will not appear backwards.
2. Test your image by printing it on a plain piece of paper to make sure the image looks how you want it.
3. Set the printer settings to the highest dpi (dots per inch) that it is capable of creating. This will create a more color-saturated print.
4. Choose the paper settings available for your printer designed for transfer paper. Some printers will have a specific 'T-shirt Transfer' option, so if that choice is available select it. If it is not, then choose either 'High Quality Glossy Paper' or 'Special Coated Paper' in the printer's dialog box. You are now ready to print on your iron-on transfer paper.
