⚠️ Important Notes Before Installation

• Turn Off Power Before Installation: Always turn off the printer’s power before installing the printhead to avoid damaging the mainboard. 🔌
• Initial Run-In Period: After installing the printhead, do not install the ink ribbon immediately. First print at least 10 A4 pages to allow proper run-in. Then install the ribbon. 📄
• Check for Previous Damage: If your original printhead was leaking ink or damaged, the mainboard might already be affected. Please inspect and confirm the mainboard is working before replacing. 🛠️
• Fuse Replacement Caution: If replacing a fuse (F1 or F2) on the mainboard, use only the same model and current rating. Using incorrect fuses may damage both the printhead and the mainboard. ⚡
• Professional Installation Recommended: Printheads are delicate and costly. Incorrect installation can cause permanent damage. If you're not confident, seek help from a technician or service center. 🚫

⚠️ Before You Install – Please Read Carefully

• Do NOT Inject Water into the Printhead: Never use a syringe to flush the printhead with water. This can:
  • Wash away the factory-applied protective fluid
  • Introduce air blockages
  • Cause short circuits if powered on while wet
  ➤ If print quality is unclear, use the printer’s built-in cleaning function instead. 🧼
• Power Off Before Installation: Always turn off the power before installing the printhead. Ensure the printhead is firmly and correctly seated. 🔌
• Clean, Dry Cable Connections: Avoid any ink or moisture on the cable plug or socket. Ensure secure, clean connections to prevent contact failure. 🔗
• Lubricate the Steel Shaft Properly: Wipe the shaft with a paper towel dipped in a small amount of lubricant. Do not pour oil directly—excess oil can damage the printhead. 🛠️
• Check Ink System:
  • Ensure ink cartridges are not empty
  • Check the cleaning blade and suction pump for dirt or clogs 🧽
• Initial Printhead Air Discharge Process: New printheads contain air and may not print clearly at first. To remove trapped air:
  • Use the printer’s cleaning function twice
  • Wait 30 minutes, then clean twice again
  • Avoid excessive cleaning—it may cause ink mixing, leaks, or waste
  • Print full-color images to help discharge air naturally 🖨️

✅ Pro Tip: If you’re not confident with installation, it’s strongly recommended to have a technician perform the replacement to avoid damage or voided warranty.
