WPL610 Printer: Wiring Inspection and/or Print Head Replacement

Due to the tricky reassembly process, we recommend this procedure be performed by

someone with good mechanical aptitude.

This procedure can be used to inspect the state of the wiring harness (in case it has come

loose) as well as replace a print head.

Excerpt from service manual regarding this procedure:

Disassembly:

Open the print head assembly with the yellow Push tab.

If you use a ribbon, get it out of the way.

Unscrew the silver metal thumbscrew that is between the two yellow plastic pressure

knobs, then set it aside.

The print head will separate from the assembly.

There are two bundles of wiring that plug in. Pull gently to remove each plug, so that

the plug is removed evenly (prevent the plug from tilting to one side when pulling).
