The purpose of this Service Utility is to unlock the Carriage Assembly which is normally locked by the Service Station in order to cap the Printheads. Once unlocked, the Carriage Assembly can then be moved freely along the Printer by hand.

Perform the Unlock Carriage utility as follows:

In the Service Utilities submenu, scroll to "Unlock Carriage" and press Enter.

Once the utility starts, the printer will begin to unlock the Carriage Assembly and the following message will be displayed on the front panel.

Once the Carriage is unlocked (Printheads have been uncapped) the following message will appear on the front panel:

NOTE: The Carriage will remain uncapped until another action (e.g. loading paper or replacing Printheads) is selected which returns the Printer to normal operation. Make sure you leave the Carriage in a locked position once the repair is completed.
