When removing the head, hang the hook of the Damper Unit in the
hole of the bottom plate of the CR Board Assy so that work will not
be obstructed by the Damper Unit.
In addition, for easier work, you are advised to lift with Scotch tape
to such a degree that no significant load is applied to the ink tubes.
There is a hook 2 cm high at the center of the head. Install the
Damper Unit with care not to hit it against the hook.
When installing the Damper Unit, before tightening the screw,
press the lower area of the Damper with your fingers so that it
comes in close contact with the print head.
