Printhead Replacement - Intermec EasyCoder PF2i User Manual

Printhead Replacement

The printhead is subject to wear both from the direct thermal media (or
ribbon) and from the rapid heating and cooling process during printing.
Thus, the printhead will require periodic replacement.
Time between printhead replacements depends on the print images, the
type of direct thermal media (or ribbon) in use, the amount of energy
to the printhead, the print speed, the ambient temperature, and several
other factors.
While replacing the printhead, the power must be off. The
fi rmware will not detect the new printhead resistance until
the printer has been restarted.
