Installing the Print Head
Instructions are now shown on the touch screen regarding print head installation. Install the print head by following the instructions.
1
Open the top cover.
Important
● Do not move the carriage (the area enclosed by a circle in the
diagram). If you accidentally move it, temporarily close the top
cover and it will return to its original position.
3
Open the print head locking cover and tap OK on the
touch screen. At this time, check that there is no dirt on
the electrical contacts of the carriage.
5
Remove the orange protective caps in the order shown in
the diagram.
Important
● Do not touch the part that was being
protected by the protective cap (part
shown shaded in the diagram) under any
circumstances. Touching it may cause
damage to the print head or printing
problems.
● The print head is filled with ink. Be careful to
avoid getting your clothes and surrounding
items dirty when removing the protective
caps. It is recommended that you remove
the protective caps above the bag that
contained the print head.
● Do not reattach the protective caps after
removing them. Furthermore, dispose of
them according to local regulations.
