Installation Guide 3
Inserting the print heads
The print head carriage on your printer is
designed to hold two types of print head: monochrome black, on the left and colour on the right.
The two print heads supplied with your printer are
both disposable: once they are empty they MUST
be replaced (see the specific section in More
about print heads).
BOTH print heads MUST be installed BEFORE
attempting any printing operation.
To insert the print heads, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the printer is powered - the light
indicator should be lit (if it is not, press the
POWER button on theprinter operator panel).
2. Open the sealed print head container of the
monochrome print head and remove the
print head, holding it by the thumb and finger
grip (end opposite the protective film).
3. Remove the protective film.
4. Open the printer cover. The print head
carriage will move automatically to the
loading position for the monochrome print
head (left hand chamber) and the light
indicator starts flashing rapidly.
5. With the electrical contacts (gold-coloured
part) towards the corresponding contacts in
the housing on the print head carriage, insert
the print head in its chamber.
Take care not to touch the electrical contacts
(gold-coloured part) in the print head chamber.
Do not touch either the electrical contacts
(gold-coloured part) or the printing nozzles nor
sit the print head on either of them.

hold the PAPER button and press the
POWER button for at least two seconds, to
signal that new print heads have been
inserted. The light indicator will flash three
times in acknowledgment and the printer will
then be in standby condition.
