2-102-4 Maintenance Unit Exchange Reset – Decapping
1 Lowers the maintenance unit ink caps and uncaps the print heads. The carriage
does not move.
2 Uncaps the print heads and moves the carriage to the left of the platen.
3 Uncaps the print heads and moves the carriage to the center of the platen. This is
the most often used procedure during servicing.
4. Turn the machine off.
5. Always slide a sheet of paper under the carriage unit after it has been moved to the
center. This protects the platen from ink that could drip from the uncapped print heads.
6. Before you turn on the power switch to return the carriage unit to its home position on the
right, check the position of the horizontal encoder strip on the left.
• If the encoder strip is up on the bracket as shown at [A], pull it forward and down so that it is
in front of the bracket as shown at [B].
• If the machine is turned on with the strip positioned as shown at [A], the movement of the
carriage unit may scratch the surface of the encoder strip.
