Step Procedure
1 Unplug the Printer’s main power cord before performing any type of maintenance
procedure unless otherwise indicated.
Also, never use a sharp tool or a metal object of any kind to clean the Printhead.
You will damage the Printhead!
2 Watches, rings, bracelets and other jewelry can damage the Printhead if
accidentally bumped against it.
For best results, remove such items before touching any internal components of
Printer.
3 Internal components of the Printer, such as the Printhead, may be damaged if
exposed to static electrical discharges generated by various means, such as
walking on a carpeted floor.
To avoid potential damage, always wear an appropriate personal grounding
device, such as a wrist strap (w/ integral resistor) connected to an ESD ground.
Or, at a minimum, make positive contact with the bare metal chassis of the
Printer with the hand prior to touching any internal electrical components.
