REPLACING THE PRINTHEADS
1. Turn the ink valve knob located on the sides of the I/H Holders to the
“Close” position, or lift up the I/C Holder lever. Both operations perform the
same function of shutting off the flow of ink through the ink tubes.
2. Open the Front Cover.
3. Remove the Maintenance Cover as described in “Maintenance Cover
Removal” on page 73.
4.
Optional
: Remove the H Top Cover as described in “H Top Cover
Removal” on page 74. This is an extra step during removal and re-
installation, but it provides more light and room.

capping position.
