The filter replacement kit (1060978) provides a new IDM filter and 
two new O-rings. This procedure is best performed while the IDM is 
hot.
8.1 What You Will Need
• 2.5mm Allen wrench
• Protective glove or pliers (to prevent touching hot surfaces)
• Markem-Imaje Printhead Wipe
8.2 Preparation
1. Power off the Model 5200/5400 and disconnect the power cable.
2. Remove the front cover by loosening the five large captive 
screws.
NOTE: The ground wire may need to be disconnected from the print 
station.
8.3 Removal
1. Using the 2.5mm Allen wrench, remove the two screws holding 
the filter (Figure 6-16). Set one of the screws aside for use with 
the new filter.
2. Place the other screw into one of the threaded holes on the filter 
top, and tighten this screw until the filter has begun to lift out of 
the holding chamber.
