Replacing the Head Maintenance Set

Replace the head maintenance set when you see a message on the LCD screen to do so.
Note: The printer tracks amounts consumed using the replacement counter and displays a message when the counter reaches the warning level. If you replace the head maintenance set according to the message, the counter is cleared automatically. If you replace it before the message is displayed, make sure to initiate replacement from the printer's menu ( Maintenance > Replace Maintenance Parts > Head Maintenance Set). Otherwise, the replacement counter will not operate correctly.
  1. Turn on the printer, if necessary.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If the message appears on the LCD screen telling you the head maintenance set is at the end of its service life, select OK.
    • If you want to replace the head maintenance set before the message appears, select Maintenance > Replace Maintenance Parts > Head Maintenance Set.
  3. Select Start.
    The print head moves to the maintenance position and a confirmation message appears.
    Caution:
    Do not move the print head manually. A malfunction may occur.
  4. Select How To... to view the steps and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: A buzzer sounds 10 minutes after the print head moves to the maintenance position. Select OK to continue cleaning. The buzzer sounds again after 10 minutes. Nozzles can be clogged if more time passes, so finish cleaning as soon as possible.
  5. Replace all of the parts of the head maintenance set in the following order:
    • Capping station
    • Flushing pad
    Caution:
    Lift the flushing pad carefully as ink could spray out if it is raised with too much force. After replacing the flushing pad, make sure that it is installed correctly. If the hooks are raised when printing, the print head could be damaged.

    Note: You cannot print if the parts are not replaced.
