REPLACING THE PRINT HEAD
The print head is a user-replaceable item. If it becomes damaged for any reason, it
can be easily removed and replaced. Contact your local SATO representative for
information on obtaining a new print head.
Supplies needed: Flat Blade Screwdriver (Note: Some units may require
a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver)
1. Turn the printer off and remove
the power cable.
2. Open the Label Access door.
3. View the Print Head Assembly
from the front of the printer.
Locate the center mounting screw
on the top of the assembly. (Do
not take out the two outside
alinment screws!)It is accessible
through the center hole in the
Top Assembly Plate. Remove
this screw and set it aside.
4. Open the Print Head Assembly
by pushing the Head Latch
toward the rear of the printer. The
Print Head Assembly is
spring-loaded and will
automatically open as soon as the
Head Latch is disengaged.
5. Remove the ribbon from the
Rewind Spindle if necessary.
6. The Print Head should now be
loosened from the top of the
assembly by grasping either side
and carefully pulling it down and
forward.
7. Disconnect the signal and power
cables from the print head
connectors and set the Print
Head aside.
8. Carefully attach the new print
head to the connectors, using
caution to make sure the
connector keys are correctly
positioned.
