Service Procedures

5.Unlatch the bearing block latch on each side of the platen roller by inserting a small blade screwdriver between the latch and the platen frame. While holding the latch out with the screwdriver, push the bearing block up so the latch pawl clears the hole in the platen frame.

NOTE: Remove the rivot from bearing block on printhead latch side.

6.When both bearing blocks are unlatched, push the platen assembly up and out of the platen frame.

CAUTION

Do not run the platen roller into the printhead or the

assemblies could be damaged.

Platen Module Replacement

1.Locate the left side of the platen frame by locating the cable harness exit hole.

2.Turn feed assembly so the drive gear is on the same side of platen frame as cable exit hole.

3.Position bearing blocks in the slot on each side of frame, then push down on roller until bearing block latches snap into place.

4.Rotate platen module clockwise to locate it in its original position. The platen module must be lifted up to allow the platen gear to clear the printhead alignment bracket. Detents in the base plate assure alignment of the platen frame.

5.Reinstall the three phillips screws and tighten.

6.Verify clearance between platen drive gear and the stepper gear bearer, this should not have changed for this procedure. Nominal gap for this adjustment is factory set at .0005".

Bi-Cell Sensor Removal

1.Grasp the bi-cell sensor holder at its base, squeeze together to release the latch tabs and lift the back of the sensor holder upwards.

2.Release latch tabs by pulling back and up on sensor holder.

3.Rotate sensor holder back to expose sensor circuit board.

4.Insert the blade of a small screwdriver through the sensor holder on the left side (about 3/8” down from the top) and pushs the sensor board away from the sensor housing. (apply thumb pressure to the cover to gain leverage).

CAUTION

The recommended pushing location minimizes the

possibility for damaging the circuit card.

5.Carefully remove sensor board from sensor holder.

NOTE: Use caution not to damage the circuit board.

6.Unplug sensor harness from sensor circuit board by grasping the harness by the connector.

Lower Supply Guide Removal

1.Turn printer off and unplug AC cord.

2.Remove bi-cell sensor.

3.Remove sensor harness from two retainer loops.

4.Open print module until it latches.

5.Locate locking tabs on either side of the guide frame which lock into the platen frame.

6.With a small straight blade screwdriver, gently pry latches in (towards the feed path) while pushing up on guide frame until latch releases from frame. Repeat for latch on the other side.

Bi-Cell Sensor Replacement

1.Connect sensor harness to the sensor board.

2.Insert sensor board in holder on an angle to engage board in holder tabs.

3.Apply light pressure on the opposite side of the board to seat board into holder.

4.Ensure sensor window is showing through the hole in sensor holder.

5.Insert top holder tab into guide frame.
