Replacing the Printhead
You may have to replace the printhead if it is damaged or
worn-out. For example, you may see 616 (bad dot or dots) or 765
(printhead failure) error codes. See "Accessories" in Appendix A
for the printhead part number.
CAUTION
The printhead is sensitive to static electricity, which can
damage the printhead or reduce its life. Ground yourself
by touching some metal, such as the printer’s metal base,
before touching the printhead. Clean the printhead to
remove any salt or oil left from handling prior to operation.
To replace the printhead:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the cover.
3. Unlock the printhead by turning the retaining latch.
4. Press forward and down on the two latches on top of the
printhead assembly as shown. The printhead will drop down.
5. Lift the printhead assembly using the printhead tab and push
back until the printhead assembly clicks into place.
