Replacing the Print Head
You can easily remove and replace a damaged or worn print head.
• Do not power on or off the product, connect or disconnect the power cord while your
hands are wet. Doing so could cause an electric shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before you replace the print head.
• Wear gloves before replacing the print head, to prevent damage to the print head.
1. Make sure that the product is powered off, and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
2. Open the top cover.
• Open the top cover fully to prevent accidental drop of the cover.
3. Turn the head lock lever (1) clockwise to unlock the print head.
• The print head and its surroundings are hot after printing. Wait until the product cools
down.
• Touching the edge of the print head with your bare hand could cause injury.
4. Remove the media and ribbon if they are already loaded.
