printhead?? Canon i860
« on: February 25, 2004, 02:42:44 PM »
Hi gang,
I just got a Canon i860 to print my digital pics and I was just wondering what to do with the printhead that I got in the package. I read through all of the documentation (front to back) that I recieved in the box and haven't found anything that even remotely mentions anything about a printhead. Would someone know what to do with this part?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is this an additional print head? If you hit Canon's website and do a FAQ search for that model by catagory, there is a nifty flash page that shows what to do with the printhead. Sorry, I can't link directly to it because of the way Canon has the page set up.

Yes it is an extra printhead.  I've checked out the website and I don't see anything about an extra printhead ... unless I missed it.  I'm not sure if having an extra one is a good thing or a bad thing.
Do you know if these printheads tend to wear/break quickly?

"Printhead" sounds like something one would call someone else.

Having an extra one is fine. Just store it somewhere cool where it won't get so hot the ink will dry up. They don't really break easily unless they become contaminated. Just don't touch the contact points and you should be fine.

Maybe I'm wrong; the cartridges are in and clicked in properly but does it go on top of the color cartridges?? Is it an extra?  

The camera gave me an error message about the printhead not being attached... what do I do?

I'm so confused... feelin' kinda like a printhead really...

Skip it folks, my printhead minutes are over.  It goes under the cartridges in a printhead looking part.  Thats why I thought there were 2.

Why is it called a printhead when its under the cartridges?
