The quick-mount thermal printhead is easy to replace:
• Turn off the printer.
• Open the front and right-hand doors.
• Lift the printhead and remove the paper and ribbon stocks.
• Turn the printhead lock handle counter-clockwise to open posi-
tion, see illustration.
• Remove the printhead assy carefully as far as the cables allow.
• Remove the two printhead cables by pulling at the connectors.
• If you want to change the lateral position of the printhead, move
the #T20 Torx screw to its alternative position.
• Connect the two cables to the printhead.
• Fit the replacement printhead assy back into the bracket so the
guide screw fits into its slot and the rear end of the assy is held by
the two lugs.
• Turn the locking handle clockwise to locked position.
• Load paper and transfer ribbon. Then 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 and right-hand door and the printer is ready for
operation.
