Printhead Replacement

1
Open the front and right-hand doors.
84
The printhead is subject to wear both from the thermal transfer
ribbon or the direct thermal media and from the rapid heating
and cooling process during printing. Thus, the printhead will
require periodic replacement.
Time between printhead replacements depends on the print
images, the type of direct thermal media or thermal transfer
ribbon in use, the amount of energy to the printhead, the print
speed, the ambient temperature, and several other factors.
While replacing the printhead, the power should be off.
2
Turn the printhead lift lever to "Open" position.
