• Before you disconnect the ink tubes, squeeze their connecting parts[ A] with fingers or radio
pliers to empty their contents into the print head tanks, so as to prevent the ink from dropping.
•
If air enters the print head tanks, it will cause the ink to spill out of the print head nozzles.
Therefore, to ensure that ink does not spill, take measures such as blocking the openings for
the tubes or putting the carriage into a plastic bag.
10. Re-assemble the printer.
• Before you re-assemble the printer, be sure to read through the "Re-installation" tips described
in the next section.
11.
After re-assembling the printer, do the SP settings for after carriage replacement. (See "After
Replacing the Carriage" at the end of this section.)
