The electric parts of the printer are activated when the printer is connected to the AC power supply.
At the left rear of the printer are the main controller, power supply, and interface connector. The carriage PCB

When serving the printer with the cover removed, be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and shorting

1. How to Handle the Printhead
Do not open the printhead package until you are ready to install the head.
When installing the printhead in the printer, hold the knob[1] and then remove the protective cap 1[2] and
protective cap 2[3] in that order.
Do not reattach the protective cap 2[3] to the printhead because the cap may damage the nozzles[4].
To prevent the nozzles from getting clogged with foreign matter or dried ink, install the printhead
immediately after you remove the protective caps.
Also make sure to press down the locking lever of the printhead until you feel a click.
In addition, to prevent clogging of the nozzles with foreign matter and improper supply of ink, never touch
the nozzles[4] or ink port[6], or wipe it with tissue paper or anything else.
Do not touch Electriacl contact[5].
Also, never attempt to disassemble/reassemble the printhead or wash it with water.
