FlexJet Cable replacement
Ensure that the FlexJet is
unplugged from the wall
outlet and that all AC
power cables are removed from
the printer before replacing the
cable.
The discharge of static electric-
ity may damage the carriage and
logic board components. Use the
included ground strap throughout
the procedure. Attach one end
of the ground strap (included in
the Upgrade Kit ) to your wrist
and the other end to a bare metal
portion of the printer (like the
frame the holds the service sta-
tion.) Keep plastic objects away
from the carriage and logic board
assemblies. Remove the wrist
strap only after the new carriage
is attached to the traverse, the
cover is installed, and the metal
cover is secured over the main
logic board.
Caution
The FlexJet is heavy and
could cause injury if it falls.
A minimum of two people
are required to safely unpack the
printer and attach it to the stand.
