Replacing Ink System Components 3-23
1. Wait for the printer to stop printing.
2. From the ready screen, press the Online/Offline button.
The Front Page screen appears.
3. Press the Carriage button.
The printhead carriage moves out of the service station.
4. Open the printer top cover.
5. Disconnect the ink tube from the ink reservoir.
The tube automatically seals when you disconnect it. This
prevents ink from spilling out.
6. Depress the lock levers to unlock the penholder assembly,
and swing the carriage up to expose the printheads.
7. Disconnect the ink tube from the printhead.
8. Carefully remove the ink tube from its clips, beginning at the
ink tray end.
Unless the tube is damaged, you can store the tube (with ink
sealed inside) for future use. Be sure that it is labeled with
position number and ink type. At the end of the track, open
the stabilizer clip, and remove its top cover and pad. Save
them for reinstallation.
9. Remove the corresponding printhead, handling with care. Set
it in a safe location where it will not be bumped or dropped.
10. Clip the new ink tube into the bottom of the penholder and
begin installing the tube into its guides.
Beginning at the penholder end ensures that the slack por-
tion of the tube ends up at the ink tray end.
11. At the end of the track, route the tube through the stabilizer
clip (see Fig. 3-12. on page 3-24).
Push the tube into the clip (some stretching and wiggling of
the tube may be necessary), replace the stabilizer clip pad

on top of the tubes, then replace its top cover
 and snap it
shut to hold the tubes securely. Leave some slack in the S-
shaped curve between the chain and the rear of the printer.
Caution
Ensure that the ink tubes will not be pinched or sev-
ered when the stabilizer clip is closed.
