3.1 OVERVIEW

This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of the printer. Unless otherwise

are described under the heading "Required Adjustments."

3.1.1 Precautions for Disassembling the Printer

Follow the precautions below when disassembling the printer.
Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling the printer.
Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink gets in your eye, flush it with
fresh water and see a doctor immediately. If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it
off with soap and water. If irritation occurs, contact a physician.
A lithium battery is installed on the C172 MAIN board of this printer. Be sure to observe
the following instructions when servicing the battery:
1.Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that electrodes of opposite
polarities do not come in contact with each other.
2.Do not heat the battery or place it near fire.
3.Do not solder any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in leakage of electrolyte
from the battery, burning, or explosion. The leakage may affect other devices close to
the battery.)
4.Do not charge the battery. (An explosive gas may be generated inside the battery, and
cause burning or explosion.)
5.Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat. Leakage,
burning, or explosion may also result.)
6.Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause burning or explosion.)
Never touch the primary parts of the power supply unit (including the heat sink) while plugging
it in.
There is danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace it only with the same or
equivalent type, recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
government's laws and regulations.
Risque d'explosion si la pile est remplacée incorrectement. Ne remplacer que par une pile du
même type ou d'un type équivalent recommandé par le fabricant. Elminer les piles déchargées
selon les lois et les règles de sécurité en vigueur.
Never remove the ink cartridge from the carriage unless specified to do so.
Color Cartridge
When transporting the printer after installing the color ink cartridge, be sure to pack the
printer for transportation without removing the ink cartridge.
Black Cartridge
On the other hand, to prevent the black ink from leaking, the black ink cartrdge is not
mounted in the printer during transport. Be sure to pack the printer for transportation with
the black ink cartridge removed.
Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling, or adjusting the printer.
Apply lubricants and adhesives as specified. (See Chapter 6.)
Make specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer. (See Chapter 4.)
