head, into PC.
In case download of "Head resistance data" is not performed properly, thermal head may be
damaged. Directly touching the end of the print head may deteriorate printing quality or cause
damage to the printer. Make sure to hold the print head by the frame when handling it.
Keep the print head CD. You will need it in case of main board replacement.
Before replacing the print head clean it to verify if the problem is not due to dust.
1. Open the door and remove the ink ribbon and transfer film cassettes.
