Replacing the Flushing Pad

Replace the flushing pad after replacing the wiper unit and anti-drying caps included in the head cleaning set.

Note: The flushing pad, wiper unit, and anti-drying caps should all be replaced at the same time.
  1. Open the printer cover.


  2. Unpack the new flushing pad and retain the packaging.
  3. Grasp the flushing pad by its tab and gently lift it.


    Caution:
    Lift the flushing pad carefully as ink could fly out if it is raised with too much force.
  4. Hold the flushing pad at an angle and wait until the waste ink stops dripping into the receptacle beneath it. If waste ink drips into the printer, clean it up immediately.


  5. Place the used flushing pad into the bag that contained the new flushing pad.


  6. Insert the new flushing pad into the printer as shown, and press down on the tab until you hear the pad click into place.


    Caution:
    Make sure you insert the new flushing pad correctly or the print head could be damaged.
  7. Close the printer cover.
  8. Press the OK button. The print head returns to its normal position.
