PRINTHEAD REPLACEMENT

The quick-mount thermal printhead is designed to be
easy to replace:
• Turn off the printer.
• Open the front hatch and right-hand door.
• Lift the printhead.
• Turn the lock handle counter-clockwise to open posi-
tion, see illustration.
• The printhead assembly will now be free. Remove it
carefully as far as the cables allow.
• Remove the two printhead cables. Pull at the connec-
tors rather than the cables!
• If you want to change the position of the printhead,
move the #T20 Torx screw to its alternative position.

assembly
• Connect the two cables to the printhead.
• Fit the replacement printhead assembly back into the
bracket so the guide screw fits into its slot and the rear
end of the adapter is held by the two lugs.
• Turn the locking handle clockwise to locked position.
• Lower the printhead.
• Turn on the power. At power-up, the printer will
automatically reset itself to the characteristics of the
printhead in regard of head resistance and density.
• Close the front hatch and right-hand door and the
printer is ready for operation.
