(13)Pull the head joint up and off the head/carriage unit.
Immediately, wrap the head joint in a clean, lint-free cloth and keep it higher than the ink
supply tubes to prevent ink remaining in the ink supply tubes from leaking and the machine
from getting stained with leaked ink.
Note: Wipe off the ink remaining on the section where the head joint was mounted with a
clean, lint-free cloth.
(14)Remove the head joint rubber (that is a part of the head/carriage unit but may come off with
the head joint) and put it on a clean vinyl sheet while taking care not to contaminate it.
Assembling Note: Make sure that all of the four ink supply tubes are routed in front of the tube
guide as shown above.
