Printhead
Replacement
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.
Caution!
While replacing the printhead, the power should be off.
Open the side door.
Turn the printhead lift lever clockwise to raise
the printhead.
