Replacing Printer Components
Some printer components, such as the printhead and platen roller, may wear out over time and can be
replaced easily. Regular cleaning may extend the life of some of these components. See Table 4
on page 198 for the recommended cleaning intervals.
Ordering Replacement Parts
The ZT600 Series printers are designed to work only with genuine Zebra ™ printheads, thus maximizing
safety and print quality.
