Replacing the Printhead

Holding the new Printhead by the grips (a), remove it from
the case.
• When handling the Printhead , always hold it by the
grips (a). Never touch the nozzles (b) or metal contacts
(c). This may damage the Printhead and affect printing
quality.
• If you need to put a Printhead somewhere temporarily before installation, do not keep the nozzles and
metal contacts facing down. If the nozzles or metal contacts are damaged, it may affect the printing
quality.

While fi rmly holding the Printhead you have removed, use
your other hand to remove the orange Safety Cap 1 (a).
Squeeze the grips (c) of Safety Cap 2 (b) and pull it down
to remove it.
• The inside surfaces of Safety Cap 1 (a) and Safety Cap 2 (b) are coated with ink to protect the nozzles.
Be careful not to touch these surfaces when removing the caps.
• The Printhead contains ink to protect the nozzles. We recommend removing Safety Cap 2 (b) as you
hold it over the Printhead package or safely out of the way to avoid spilling ink and staining your clothes
or the surrounding area. If ink accidentally spills, wipe off the ink with a dry cloth.
• Never touch the ink supply section (d). This may cause printing problems.
• Do not reattach the Safety Cap or protective material. Dispose of these materials in accordance with
local regulations.
