CAUTION
Take proper measures to protect the printhead unit from static electricity, because the
driver IC is directly attached to the printhead unit.
Never touch the printhead’s metallic nozzle cover surface. Handle it only by holding the
edges of the printhead.
When you replace the printhead or the printer mechanism, you must replace the block
resistor at location RM4 (for Micro Mode - Color (R-No.)), RM5 (for Normal Mode -
Color (M-No.)), RM11 (for Micro Mode - Monochrome (R-No.)), and RM12 (for Normal
Mode - Monochrome (M-No.)) on the C162 MAIN Board. (Every spare printhead or
spare printer mechanism comes
with a block resistor that is specifically selected for each printhead. (Refer to Table 3-2.)
