Be careful not to touch these surfaces when removing the caps. Important • The Printhead contains ink to protect the nozzles. We recommend removing Protective Part (b) as you hold it over the Printhead package or safely out of the way to avoid spilling ink and staining your clothes or the surrounding area. If ink accidentally spills, wipe off the ink with a dry cloth. • If you need to put a Printhead somewhere temporarily before installation, do not keep the nozzles and metal contacts facing down. If the nozzles or metal contacts are damaged, it may affect the printing quality. • Do not reattach the Protective Part or protective material. Dispose of these materials in accordance with local regulations. 8 With the nozzles facing down and the metal contacts toward the back, insert the Printhead into the Carriage.
