5.5 Printhead Replacement

Locating pins in the printhead assembly eliminate the need for an alignment

following the installation of a new printhead.

Touch a metal part of the

printer’s frame to discharge

any static electricity that may

be present on your body.

Turn ‘Off’ and unplug the

printer. Open the Access Cover,

rotate the Printhead Latch forward and

raise the printhead. Remove the ribbon, if

installed.

Lower and rotate the Printhead Latch to the locked position.

Loosen the Printhead Mounting Screw (it will remain captivated in the

assembly). Rotate the Printhead Latch forward to the unlocked position.

Raise the assembly and while carefully holding the Printhead, disconnect

the two Cables and then remove the Printhead.

While carefully holding the new

Printhead, reconnect both

Cables.

Position the Printhead

onto the Locating

Pins in the

Printhead Assembly

and secure in place with

the Printhead Mounting

Screw. (Do not over-

tighten this screw.)

Clean the Printhead; see Section 5.6.1.

Reload ribbon, if removed. Lower and rotate the Printhead Latch to the

locked position. Plug in and turn ‘On’ the printer.

Note: The printhead is delicate. Use extreme care when handling. Never use

a sharp object on the printhead surface.
