6.7 Rear Ribbon Break Shaft

Description
Cable guard PF2i
Removing the Cable Guard (not EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial)
70
The rear ribbon break shaft keeps the thermal transfer ribbon away from
the rear part of the print mechanism and supports the cable guard that
prevents the printhead cables from interfering with the transfer ribbon.
The shaft is screwed into the center section whereas the cable guard is
snap-locked in the hole through the center section where the printhead
cables run.
Note: For logistic reasons, the printhead ribbon break shaft is fi tted on
both thermal transfer and direct thermal models of EasyCoder PF4i. In
EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial, the headlift mechanism also serves as
a cable guard.
Snap-locks

• The cable guard must be removed before you can pull out the lower
guide assy, for example in connection with replacement of the LSS sen-
sors (see Chapter 7.5).
• From the electronics compartment, disengage the snap-lock by means of
a fl at-tipped screwdriver and pull out the cable guard.
• When putting back the cable guard, let it slide along the shaft and press
until the snap-lock engages the center section.
