H Removing the packing tube
The printer is shipped with a protective spiral tube to keep
the print head from being damaged during shipping. This tube
must be removed before use. First, take off the printer cover.
The protective tube is split along its bottom side to allow easy
removal. Grasp one end of the spiral tube and firmly pull it
upward and away from the carriage rail.
