Install the new printhead carefully, ensuring proper alignment and secure mounting. After installation, perform printer calibration and print darkness adjustment according to manufacturer specifications.
Regular maintenance extends printhead life:
- Clean the printhead regularly with approved cleaning pens or solutions
