CHECK
POINT
Make sure that the earth board is installed to the
carriage correctly. (There are 2 pins to determine the
location.)
When you install the printhead to the carriage, make
sure that the location pin on the carriage side is
placed in the notch of the printhead.
CAUTION
Since the ink cartridge once taken out can not be
used again, be sure to install a new ink cartridge
when you return the printer to the user.
When you return the printer to the user, be sure to
pack the printer for transportation with a new ink
cartridge installed and the carriage in the home
position when the printer is turned on.
