Fault Description

Improper operations - such as failing to clean the print head for a long period, scratching the print head surface due to frequent failures or incorrect handling, or using uncertified third-party inks - may cause damage to the print head.

If you have confirmed with the support team that the print head is damaged and have received a replacement, follow the steps below to replace it.

 

Print Head Overview

---

The print head module, including the ink print head, ink storage components (ink cartridges), and ink path control components, is the key assembly that enables multi-color printing and switching between cleaning/moisturizing functions.

 

 

Required Tools

---

1. Disposable Nitrile Gloves

2. 2.5mm Hex Key

3. Lint free cloth

 

Safety Precautions

---

1. Wear gloves before starting. Residual ink may remain on the print head; avoid skin contact.

2. Work in a well-ventilated area.

3. When instructed to work directly on the print head, turn off the power. A brief shutdown will not affect the ink-path system.

4. When removing or installing the carriage flip cover, apply steady, moderate force to avoid damaging the clips.

5. When removing the print head, immediately protect the encoder strip to prevent UV ink contamination, which can affect print accuracy.

6. Do not touch or press against the printing surface at the bottom of the print head module.

7. Before removing or installing the print head, lift the ink-tube docking assembly fully to its highest position; otherwise, the print head may jam.

8. Before installing the new print head, ensure the mounting area is clear of debris and verify that the ink-tube docking assembly remains fully raised.
