   Note: Gently open the paper output tray while holding it.
   
   
3. After confirming that the print head holder has moved to the center, open the inner cover.
   
   
4. Remove the orange tape securing the print head lock lever, and raise the print head lock lever.
   
   Note: If the top cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the print head holder will move to the right. If this occurs, close the top cover once and then re-open it.
