Carriage Interconnect Wiper
Whenever you replace the printhead, check the
empty slots to see if the carriage interconnect needs
cleaning. In extreme cases it is possible that the
printer will not recognize a printhead when it has
been installed. This is due to the build-up of ink
deposits on the electrical connections between the
printhead and the printhead carriage.
Included with your HP Designjet printer, is a
Carriage Interconnect Wiper. This must be used for
cleaning the electrical interconnects of both the
printhead carriage and the printhead.
If the front-panel persistently displays the message
“Reseat” next to the printhead try performing the
procedure shown here.

NOTE: Do not touch, wipe or attempt to clean the printhead nozzles. This can damage the
printhead and reduce print quality.
NOTE: After waiting a few moments to allow both connectors to dry, replace the printhead into
the carriage assembly
