Printhead Replacement - Datamax Prodigy Plus Operator's Manual

Printhead Replacement

The Printhead is operator replaceable and can be replaced with a flat-
bladed screw driver. If dot patterns on the Configuration Test Label
indicate lines of missing dots, (as shown in Figure 5-4), the printhead is
dirty or may require replacement.
Figure 5-4 Configuration Test Label
A single missing dot, or two non-adjacent dots, does not indicate a bad
printhead; however, multiple adjacent missing dots do indicate a bad
printhead.
Removal:
Follow the procedure below when replacing the printhead,
(see Figure 5-5).
1. Turn off the Printer and open the Side Access Cover.
2. Rotate the Printhead Latch downward to unlatch the Printhead, then
raise the Printhead to an upright position and lower the Hinge Plate.
