Replacing the Print Head
You can easily remove and replace a damaged or worn print head.
• Do not touch the power button, 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 printer 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. Push the head lock lever (1) towards the rear to unlock the print head.
• The print head and its surroundings are hot after printing. Be careful not to touch it, to
avoid being burned.
• 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.
