If print head errors or poor print quality issues occur, it may be necessary to reinstall the print head to correct the problem.
Reinstall the Print Head
-
Make sure the power is turned on, and open the paper output tray gently.
-
Lift the scanning unit (printer cover) completely. The print head will move to the replacement position.
-
Remove all the Ink tanks in the following manner.
-
Tilt the print head slightly towards the front of the printer and lift out gently.
Caution: Do not touch the print head nozzles (1), electrical contacts (2), or ink supply ports (3) as shown below. Doing so may cause printing problems.
-
Tilt the print head and set it in place. Lower the print head lock lever (E) completely.
-
Insert ink tanks into the print head.
-
Press the PUSH mark on the ink tank firmly until you hear a click.

Close the scanning unit printer cover.
When the next printing begins, the print head cleaning will begin automatically.
