6-2-5. Connectors
Any troubles can occur if connectors are not properly connected.
Before starting your troubleshooting, be sure that there is no contact failure between pins and wires, and that
all connectors have been properly inserted.
<Note>
Take care to avoid soiling the contacts (metallic surface) of the FFCs (Flexible Flat Cables) for Carriage
signals, Print Head Power Supply unit, Panels and
other parts with ink or grease.
Furthermore, avoid touching the FFC contacts with bare hands. Circuits may not function if FFC contacts are
soiled.
