So how do I get the printhead out to inspect the head when the error mesage lockup the printer-up?
heres how to get to the print heads.
Ink now fills the system.After about ten minutes, the Printhead will be automatically aligned, and the printer will go online.If no paper has been loaded, a message is displayed requesting you to load paper. Important Never remove an Ink Tank or Maintenance Cartridge while the system is filling with ink.If Auto Print is Off in the printer menu, the Printhead will not be aligned. In this case, adjust the alignment after Printhead replacement by accessing Advanced Adj. in Auto Head Adj. If you have any further questions, let me know.
