Replacing Consumable Parts
Replacing the Print Head
You can easily remove and replace a damaged or worn print head.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so could
cause an electric shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet or remove the optional battery before
you replace the consumable parts.
• Wear gloves before replacing the print head, to prevent damage to the print head.
1. Make sure that the printer is powered off, and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet or remove the optional battery.
2. Press the cover open button (1) to open the top cover (2).
3. Put your finger on the concave parts on the sides of the head cover (3) and open it
toward the front.
• The print head and its surroundings are hot after printing. Wait until the printer cools
down.
• Touching the edge of the print head with your bare hand could cause injury.
