carriage with ink cartridges removed.
Caution: Electrical hazard.
Keep hand and metal pieces clear of board or any other electrical wires
or parts.
NOTICE: The ink cartridges are all the way to one end.
If the X4270 is plugged in, the cartridge carrier is stuck and doesn’t
move. After further investigation a noticeable small black plastic lever
is preventing the ink cartridges from moving. Photo below shows lever
up and down (cartridges already moved in image below).

assembly with lever and spring
Note: The cause of this problem is
the spring slides out of place over time, probably because of ink shed
on one end of its loop and loop attachment.

hot tip of heated tool to melt top of loop attachment to prevent further
errors. Melt top of loop attachment similar of that to a mushroom top.
