WARNING: Do NOT touch or contaminate the gold contacts on either the print heads or the

else on the gold contacts, clean them with an alcohol swab.

If the print becomes faint or begins to print unevenly replace the print heads (Z Corp. part

is not clear, choose the ‘Flush Binder’

option under the Service menu. See

‘Service’ menu, select ‘Change Print
