• Remove the red location plate (70, Fig. 4+8 ) - clean it using alcohol (95 %-100 %).
• Clean the print head with alcohol (95 %-100 %) and the provided cleaning swabs ( Fig. 5 ). This involves push-
ing the swab underneath the print head, raising it with slight pressure (onto the print head) and moving from
the bottom right to the top left (along the sealing lip). Turn the swab slightly after each upward movement.
• Then push in the new black transport location plate (73, Fig. 8 ) as far as it will go.
• Push the small lever (69, Fig. 3 ) back down to secure the transport location plate.
• Press any button to close the print head.
Inserting the transport tank (continued)
If pressing a button does not end the replacement of the exchange plate, the printer automatically clos-
es the print head after 2.5 min. A signal sounds 30 s before it automatically closes and a countdown
appears on the display. In order to avoid damage to the print head, avoid inserting the transport location
plate at this time; instead wait until the print head closes and repeat the operation to insert the trans-
port location plate.

Switch off the printer and disconnect the
power to prevent damage to the print head!
In order to use the printer again, the trans-
port plate has to be removed and a new
exchange plate has to be inserted. For in-
serting an ink cartridge, refer to the "Quick
instructions" on the front of the device.
