Maintenance

The CodeWriter 4500 Series printers require very little operator maintenance. The routine tasks involve keeping the media paths clear of paper dust and debris.

NOTE: Turn off power while performing maintenance tasks.

Removing the Ribbon Take-up Roll

Use the following procedure to remove the ribbon take up roll:

1.Lift the Media Access Cover using the tab in the bottom center side of the cover. DO NOT lift from the front panel.

2.Find the PRESS HERElabel affixed to the Printhead Bracket. Press down on the Printhead Bracket where indicated and rotate the Printhead Lock Lever back to unlock the bracket. Swing the Printhead Bracket up and back to expose the document path.

3.Remove any remaining ribbon trailer material from the supply core.

4.Grab the inside edge of the take-up roll with one hand and brace the printer with the other. Pull firmly to remove take-up roll.

5.If a take-up core is required for the next ribbon, move the supply core to the take- up shaft.
