4. Replacement and Adjustment
• Rotating the hex socket at [A] raises and lowers print head caps [B] which cover the K2, C, and
YM print heads.
• Normally, these print head caps are up and engaged with the K2, C, and YM print heads of the
carriage unit to keep them from drying out.
• The print head caps must be lowered before the carriage can be moved away from the right side
of the machine.
Procedure
1. Raise the front cover [1].
2. Raise the paper holding lever [2].
3. Side a sheet of paper [3] into the machine as far as the gap between the raised rollers and the
platen.
4. Lower the paper holding lever [4] to hold the paper in place.
• This paper protects the platen from ink that may leak from the carriage unit after it is moved
away from the right side of the machine.
