Changing the print head
The print head is adjusted to the print head module during manufacture. As a result the
print head can only be replaced in conjunction with the print head module. Before
starting, make a note of the resistance value of the new print head (denoted on the back of
the print head). It is the 4 digit number following the letter R. When placing the print
head on the print head module, ensure that the print head is lying flat.

shaft if it is not against the inside wall or outside stop.
4. Unscrew the two thumb screws on the print head module until the entire print head
module can be removed from the contact shaft (Fig. 2).
