When the printhead becomes worn or damaged, it can easily
be changed. The series of pictures below describes how to fi t a

IMPORTANT!
After completing the physical installation, it is important that the
printer is instructed to measure the resistance of the new printhead
and adjust itself accordingly. This can be done by sending the follow-
