1. Prepare a flat clean surface, such as a stool or small table covered with paper, at the right side of
the machine.
• The ink tubes are still connected to the carriage unit, so there is not much space for moving the
carriage unit after it is off the guide rod. Place the table or stand as close as possible to the
right side of the main unit.
• To avoid ink leakage, always keep the carriage unit higher than the ink supply unit.
