The printhead is sensitive to static electricity, which can
damage the printhead or reduce its life. Ground yourself
by touching some metal, such as the printer’s metal base,
before touching the printhead. Clean the printhead to
remove any salt or oil left from handling prior to operation.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the cover.
3. Unlock the printhead by turning the
retaining latch.
4. Press forward and down on the
two latches on top of the printhead
