Replacing the Printhead
8
Holding the new Printhead by the grips (a), remove it from
the pouch.
• 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.
• Never touch the ink supply section (d). This may cause
printing problems.
• 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 Protective Part
(a). Squeeze the grips (c) of Protective Part (b) and pull it
down to remove it.
• The inside surface of the Protective Part (a) and Protective Part (b) is 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 Protective Part (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.
• Do not reattach the Protective Part or protective material. Dispose of these materials in accordance with
local regulations.

With the nozzles facing down and the metal contacts
toward the back, tilt the Printhead slightly forward and
insert it into the Carriage . Carefully push the printhead
fi rmly into the Carriage , ensuring that the nozzles and
metal contacts do not touch the carriage.
