TIB 854: Revised cap holder

We have been informed that some older revisions of spare caps for XPJ-1641SR-P and XPJ-1341SR-P are not 100% up to specification.

There is a slight possibility that with a certain impact, the cap might come off from the cap holder.

In order to improve the quality of the cap assy , the mold has been revised and new cap holders are being introduced.

Part numbers involved:

• DH-40705 (head cap assy used on XPJ-1641SR-P and XPJ-1341SR-P/XPJ-1341WR-P)
• DH-40707 (cap slider assy for XPJ-1341SR-P/XPJ-1341WR-P)
• DH-40714 (periodic maintenance kit XPJ-1341SR-P/XPJ-1341WR-P)
• DH-40847 (cap slider assy XPJ-1641SR-P)
• DH-40851 (periodic maintenance kit XPJ-1641SR-P)
