Replacing the Printhead Cartridge

The following procedure describes how to remove the Printhead Cartridge from the printer.
Never attempt to open the Printhead Latch manually, when in the closed/locked position.
Severe damage will result. Use the Printhead Release Function from the Toolbox Utility on
your PC or press the Printhead Latch Release button if a computer is not available.
NOTE: We recommend the use of disposable gloves for this process.
1. Plug in the printer. Turn the printer's Main Power Switch ON; then press the control panel's
ON/OFF button. Wait about 45 seconds for the print engine to power-up (ON/OFF button will
illuminate).
2. Open the Top Cover.
3. Press the "Printhead Latch Release" button; as shown.
Use a non-metallic item (example: plastic pen) to reach through the
hole and lightly press the button.
The printer will run a routine and then the printhead latch will
release so it can be opened.
WARNING! If the printhead latch fails to release do not force the
latch open. Severe damage will result. Contact technical support.
Tip: You can perform this same function from your computer by
clicking "Printhead Release" from the "Services" tab of the "M
Series Driver" properties or the "User Interface" screen of the M Series "Toolbox" utility.
4. Open the Printhead Latch fully to disengage the ink couplings from the printhead cartridge.
5. Remove the old printhead as shown below. Rotate the cartridge back and then lift up to remove.
6.
To help reduce ink spills; place the printhead into the old protective packaging and discard.
