The thermal printhead can be replaced without tools.
To reduce the risk of electrostatic discharges, use ESD protection brace-
lets or similar equipment.
• Open the print frame and remove any transfer ribbon.
• Press the printhead and print frame firmly together so you overcome the
pressure of the V-shaped spring. Be careful not to touch the line of dots
at the front of the printhead, but press against the metal bracket or white
plastic cover.
• While keeping up the pressure, slide the printhead forward so the tabs at
both sides of the printhead bracket become disengaged from the pockets
at the inner sides of the cavity in the print frame.
• Continue to press forward so the U-shaped slots in the sides of the print-
head bracket also become disengaged from the studs at the inner sides of
the cavity in the print frame.
