Replacing the Print Head

MOVIE

In the event you need to replace the print head, read the procedure and review the removal and installation steps before actually replacing the print head.

Prepare your work area by protecting against static discharge. Your work area must be static-safe and include a properly grounded conductive cushioned mat to hold the printer and a conductive wrist strap for yourself.

NOTE: Turn the printer power off and unplug the power cord before replacing the print head.
