4. [A] Carefully remove
the Printhead Cartridge
from the foil packaging.
Tear at notch or cut end
with scissors.
[B] Remove the
protective plastic cover.
Hold the Printhead by the
handle and unclip the
cover from the Printhead.
[C] Remove protective
strip from the Printhead
electrical contacts.
DO NOT allow removed
strip to touch the
electrical contacts.
[D] Remove protective
strip from the Printhead
Nozzles. Hold the
Printhead by the handle. Pull the strip tab and slowly peel the
strip from the Printhead.
DO NOT pull the strip at less than a 45° angle from the Printhead surface.
DO NOT allow removed strip to touch the Printhead Nozzles.
NOTE: Keep foil packaging to store/dispose of old Printhead Cartridge.
IMPORTANT! Use distilled water to moisten the foam strip in the orange plastic cover you
removed in Step 4B (or moisten a clean, lint-free cloth). Carefully snap the Printhead back into
the plastic cover. Set the Printhead aside for 15 to 20 minutes. This rehydrates Printhead and
allows easier priming once it is installed in the Printer.
WARNING!
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR SHORTING:
Before installing Printhead, make sure nozzles are hydrated and contacts are DRY!
5. Carefully insert the Cartridge into the
compartment at an angle [4], with the
Printhead surface facing down and the
Ink Nozzles facing the Ink Hoses. Once it
is seated, gently tilt the Cartridge back
until it snaps into an upright position [5].
DO NOT FORCE the Cartridge into
position.
