*1: General notes:
- Make sure that the flexible cables and wires in the harness are in the proper position and
connected correctly.
- Do not drop the ferrite core, which may cause damage.
- Protect electrical parts from damage due to static electricity.
- Before removing a unit, after removing the power cord, allow the printer to sit for approx. 1 minute
(for capacitor discharging to protect the logic board ass'y from damages).
- Do not touch the timing slit strip film, timing slit disk feed film, and timing slit disk eject film. No
grease or abrasion is allowed.
- Protect the units from soiled with ink.
- Protect the housing from scratches.
- For the the iP4600 / iP4680 automatic print head alignment, use Matte Photo Paper (MP-101) to
ensure alignment accuracy.
- Exercise caution with the screws, as follows:
i. The screws of the paper feed motor may be loosened only at replacement of the paper
feed motor unit (DO NOT loosen them in other cases).
ii. Before loosening the 3 screws that fix the carriage rail to the main chassis, mark the
screw positions so that the carriage rail will be re-attached to the main chassis in its
original position.
