If you want to take the iP4200 apart either for installing an external waste collector or for replacing or cleaning and reinstalling the ink absorbers, the service manual and parts catalog will be helpful. The parts catalog has an assembly drawing that shows the positions of the ink absorbers.

Druckerchannel.de also has an excellent article about dismantling the printer for absorber change. Here is a translation to English, not perfect but understandable. You could also study this article in English about the somewhat similar iP4000, the language is better than the Google translation.

The service manual also explains how to use service mode operations to reset the ink absorber counter. But beware, there is an error in the service manual, please read this warning.
