Printhead maintenance The printhead should be cleaned at regular intervals. These depend on machine use, operating environment, and choice of thermal ribbon. Turn off the power to the controller and remove the ribbon cassette. Allow the printhead to cool to normal room temperature before proceeding in order to prevent the possibility of thermal shock damage.
Changing the Ribbon When removing the cassette, if the latch does not turn, please call an Engineer. Do not use force or tools. Use the plate below the waste ribbon to lift it off the ribbon rewind reel. If the ribbon is still difficult to remove, please call an Engineer.
