Disassembly and Assembly
Take proper measures to protect the printhead unit from static electricity, because the driver
IC is directly attached to the printhead unit.
Never touch the metallic surface of the nozzle cover for the printhead. Handle it only by
holding the edges of the printhead.
Never touch the white PF gears. Handling them will cause damage or contamination that
will affect print quality.
When you attach the timing belt to the carriage unit, insert the timing belt with the teeth out from
the carriage unit, as shown in the figure below.
