Replacing The Printhead; Handing Printhead Precautions - Canon W2200 User Manual

Replacing the Printhead

If 2 unsuccessful C printhead cleanings do not restore high quality printing,
or if a Service Call Error is displayed, contact a Help Desk or service center
for assistance in replacing the printhead.
Important
z Check the tank to make sure the ink level is above 40% in each, before replacing
the printhead. When there is little ink remaining, ink flow will not be performed
properly to fill the printhead after replacement. If there is little ink remaining,
replace the ink tank with a new tank before performing the printhead replacement.
Note
z Purchase the printhead below as a replacement. Contact a Canon service center for
details.

Handing Printhead Precautions

Always follow these precautions when handling a printhead.
Caution
z Store the ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally
ingests ink from an ink tank, contact a physician immediately.
z To avoid personal injury from a minor burn, never touch the printhead
immediately after printing has stopped. The printhead becomes extremely
hot during printing.
Important
z To avoid spilling and damage from stains, never drop or shake the printhead.
z There may be some ink on or around the ink port of a printhead removed from the
printer, so always handle a removed printhead carefully to avoid staining your
clothing or the work area.
z Do not break the seal of the protective packing on a printhead until you are ready to
install it in the printer. After breaking the seal, install the printhead immediately. Not
installing and printhead immediately after breaking its seal could cause poor printing.
z To avoid poor printing as a result of damaged nozzles, never place the printhead on
a surface with the nozzles pointing down.
z To avoid damaging the printer, never attempt to disassemble or modify the
printhead.
z To avoid poor quality printing, never touch the nozzles or electrical contacts on the
printhead.
