A wizard guides you through the procedure of replacing a print head, and 
adjusts printer components to enable you to perform it. Only replace a print 
head with the aid of the wizard. The entire procedure takes 75—90 
minutes, and consists of the following phases: 
A. Identifying the head(s) needing replacement. 
This is usually done during the head‐calibration procedure. Otherwise, 
evidence of physical damage to the head surface or a malfunction 
message indicates which head needs replacing.
B. Preparing the print block for head replacement.
This is done automatically when you run the Head Replacement 
wizard.
C. Removing the defective print head. 
D. Installing a new print head.
E. Performing head calibration.
F. Performing head alignment.
To replace a print head:
1. Prepare—
replacement print head(s)
isopropanol (IPA—isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
disposable cleaning gloves (supplied with the print head; or use 
any clean, powder‐free protective gloves)
a supplied cleaning cloth or equivalent
a 5 mm flat‐head screwdriver or a 3 mm Allen
the type of print block)
