2.3 Disassembling and Reassembling the Printer

Note the following when disassembling or reassembling the printer. When
disassembling or reassembling the printer, refer to the parts catalog. The numbers in
the parts catalog illustrations indicate the disassembly sequence.

2.3.1 Unlocking the carriage

When the printer is shipped from the factory (or when the cartridges are installed and
the power has been turned off normally), the carriage is locked in the capping position
to secure the cartridges during transportation. When the printer is powered on
properly, the carriage locking is disabled automatically. If the printer cannot be
powered on normally, it will be necessary to manually unlock the carriage. This can
be done by turning the paper eject roller gear half a turn (5 indented notches) in the
direction of arrow 2 with a flat-blade screwdriver while gently pressing the carriage in
the direction of arrow 1. You can also use the carriage key to turn the paper eject
roller gear.

2.3.2 Reinstalling tap screws

The printer unit is secured to the base with tap screws. Once tap screws have been
removed, pieces of the molding remain attached to the screw threads. Reinstalling the
tap screws in this condition can damage the screw threads. To prevent this, when
reinstalling screws, where possible, new screws should be used.
