(13) Pull out the Head joint spring to the right.
(14) Pull the Head joint up and off the Head/carriage unit. Immediately, wrap the Head joint
in a clean, lint-free cloth and keep it higher than the Ink refill ASSY to prevent ink
remaining in the Ink supply tubes from leaking and the machine from getting stained
with leaked ink.
Note Wipe off the ink remaining on the section where the Head joint was mounted with a
clean, lint-free cloth.
(15) Remove the Head joint rubber (that is a part of the Head/carriage unit but may come
off with the Head joint) and put it on a clean vinyl sheet while taking care not to
contaminate it.
