Replace the Printhead
You need to replace the printhead periodically when it wears out due to the rapid
heating and cooling process used during printing. How often you need to replace
the printhead depends on factors such as what type of images you print, the type
of media or ribbon you use, the amount of energy to the printhead, the print speed,
and the ambient temperature of the room you print in. The firmware detects the
new printhead when you restart the printer.
1. Turn the printer off and disconnect the printer from power.
2. Pull one or both of the printer latches toward the front of the printer and lift the
printer lid.
3. Remove the media and ribbon (if installed).
4. Press the printhead latches apart until the peripheral slides forward.
