Insert a printhead 1. If the printhead is new, shake it vigorously before removing the protective caps. Hold the printhead upright (with the protective caps facing down) and shake the printhead vigorously in a smooth up and down motion for about 15 seconds. NOTE: Be careful not to strike the printhead against anything while shaking it, because this could cause damage. 2. Remove the orange protective caps by pulling them down. 3. The printhead is designed to prevent you from accidentally inserting it into the wrong slot. Check that the colored label on the printhead matches the colored label of the carriage slot into which the printhead is to be inserted. 4. Insert the new printhead into its correct slot in the carriage. CAUTION: Insert the printhead slowly and vertically, straight down. It can be damaged if you insert it too quickly, or at an angle, or if you rotate it as you insert it. Maintain hardware ENWW Replace a printhead 33
