Replacing the Print Head

The print head on the TDP4*H printers is a user-replaceable item. If it becomes damaged for any reason, it can be easily removed and replaced. Contact the PANDUIT ID Division for information on obtaining a new print head. The TDP4*H is available with three different print heads with 203, 305 or 609 dpi (denoted by replacing * with a 2, 3 or 6 in fourth digit of part number). Make sure you have the correct replacement head as the printer will automatically detect the print head resolution and load the operating parameters for that head.
