Replacing the print heads

Removing a print head
You should remove a print head from the printer
only
to replace it or to repeat its insertion in the
case of faulty printing. To remove the print head,
proceed as follows:
1.
Open the top cover:
(a)
print head with replaceable cartridge only
:
If an “end of ink” condition has been signalled by
the printer (printing stopped, light indicator on the
printer operator panel flashing rapidly and an
error message on your PC screen), the print head
carriage moves automatically to the loading
position of the print head that caused the error
signal when you open the printer cover.
(b)
all types of print head
:
If you detect deteriorated print quality that has not
been signalled by the printer, when you open the
printer cover, the print head carriage will move to
the monochrome print head loading position. If
you wish to change the colour print head, you
must press the
PAPER
button to move the print
head carriage to the correct loading position.
2.
Press down the green print head release lever
to release the print head:
(a)
on the left for the monochrome print head.
(b)
on the right for the colour print head.
3.
Remove the entire print head, pulling it
upwards by its thumb and finger grip.
4.
Insert a new print head of the
SAME
type
(black/colour, see “
Inserting the print head
”
in the
Installation Guide
).
5.
Before closing the printer cover, press and
hold the
PAPER
button and press the
POWER
button for at least two seconds to
signal that a new print head has been
inserted; the light indicator will flash three
times in acknowledgment.
q
Driver settings
Before starting to print, check carefully that the
settings in your driver correspond to the type of
print head inserted. If the settings and print head
do not correspond, when you attempt to print,
your PC screen will show a warning.
