4.1  Overview
This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of this 
printer. Unless otherwise specified, disassembled units or components can be 
reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure. Procedures which, if not strictly 
observed, could result in personal injury are described under the heading 
“WARNING”. “CAUTION” signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in 
damage to equipment. Important tips for procedures are described under the heading 
“CHECK POINT”. If the assembly procedure is different from the reversed 
disassembly procedure, the correct procedure is described under the heading 
“REASSEMBLY”. Any adjustments required after reassembly of components or parts 
are described under the heading “ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED”. When you have to 
remove any components or parts that are not described in this chapter, refer to the 
exploded diagrams in the appendix.

 Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or 
assembling the printer.
 If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly 
follow the instructions in this manual.
 Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to protect 
your eyes from ink. If any ink gets in your eyes, wash your 
eyes with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
 Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid 
injury from sharp metal edges.
 To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static 
discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when 
accessing internal components.
 Never touch the ink or wasted ink with bare hands. If ink 
comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap and 
water immediately. If you have a skin irritation, consult a 
doctor immediately.
 When powering this product, high-voltage current may be 
applied on some parts. To prevent ELECTRIC SHOCK, do 
not touch the following parts when the power is ON. If the 
shock should happen, the flowing current is very tiny, about a 
few hundreds 
μA, therefore it will not do any harm on the 
human body.
  • SUB Board
  • Cap section of the Ink System
  • The cables and terminals that connect above mentioned parts
When transporting the printer after installing the ink cartridge, 
pack the printer for transportation without removing the ink 
cartridge.

 Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the 
printer. (See Chapter 5 “ADJUSTMENT” 
(p204) for details.)
 When reassembling the Waste Ink Tube, make sure that the 
tip of waste ink tube is placed in the correct position, otherwise 
ink may leak.
 When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for 
cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such 
products containing flammable gas is prohibited.
 Improper usage of the tool may adversely affect the quality 
seriously. Make sure to strictly observe the procedures in this 
manual to disassemble and assemble this product using proper 
tools.
 After disassembling/assembling, set the Transmission Arm to 
the Ink System position to avoid a fatal error caused by the
