Disassembly and Assembly
Never remove the ink cartridge from the carriage unless specified to do so.
Color Cartridge
When transporting the printer after installing the color ink cartridge, be sure to pack the
printer for transportation without removing the ink cartridge.
Black Cartridge
On the other hand, to prevent the black ink from leaking, do not mount the black ink
cartridge in the printer during transport. Be sure to pack the printer for transportation
with the black ink cartridge removed.
Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling, or adjusting the printer.
Apply lubricants and adhesives as specified. (See Chapter 6.)
Make specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer. (See Chapter 4.)
After you reassemble the printer, if the sliding cam is forward and the carriage lock is
engaged, the carriage will bang into it on power up. To correct this problem if it occurs,
push down the cam as shown, and on power up the printer will retract the lock.
