Maintenance
Replace the printhead after two unsuccessful Printhead B cleanings do not
restore high quality printing, or after calling a Help Desk or service center in
response to a printer service call error and the service technician directs you
to replace the printhead. Ink may spill onto your hands when you are
changing the printhead, so we recommend that you use the gloves to handle
the printhead during this procedure.
z Contact a Canon service center for details about how to obtain a replacement
printhead.
z When the ink supply runs low in a ink tank, procure a new ink tank for replacement
as soon as possible.
Always follow these precautions when handling a printhead.
z Store the ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally
ingests ink from an ink tank, contact a physician immediately.
z To avoid personal injury from a minor burn, never touch the printhead
immediately after printing has stopped. The printhead becomes extremely
hot during printing.
z To avoid spilling and damage from stains, never drop or shake the printhead.
z There may be some ink on or around the ink port of a printhead removed from the
printer, so always handle a removed printhead carefully to avoid staining your
clothing or the work area.
z Do not break the seal of the protective packing on a printhead until you are ready to
install it in the printer. After breaking the seal, install the printhead immediately.
Not installing and printhead immediately after breaking its seal could cause poor
printing.
z To avoid poor printing as a result of damaged nozzles, never place the printhead on
a surface with the nozzles pointing down.
z To avoid damaging the printer, never attempt to disassemble or modify the
printhead.
z To avoid poor quality printing, never touch the nozzles or electrical contacts on the
printhead.
