I like to replace the screws into their sockets so they don’t get lost. Remove the two screws from the start button console. One on the left front and one behind the start button console. While we’re back here remove paper jam door. Two release slots on left side, front and rear. One on right side and one on right rear.Use thin screwdriver to push in locking fingers. That way you will have more room to remove thesquare “stone†below the print head for cleaning.You can see the square stone with the ink still in it in figure 22,while in figure 20 you can see it after it’s been cleaned.(I had to re-take figure 20 for clarity.) In this demonstration, notice that I have removed the print head.This was because the pigmented black had become badly clogged.While I was soaking it in a shallow bath of 50% Clear Ammonia and 50% Distilled Water for a couple of days, I decided to clean out the wastetank absorbent pads.While I went through the shut down procedure, which parked the print head carrier,It would be easier to unplug the printer while the carrier is still in the middle, at the“change ink cartridge†position. To start the tear down, observe unit for any tab release holes. Important!: First Please read this note at the bottom of the pagebefore starting.
