5.3.3Printhead Replacement

The Printhead is operator replaceable and can be replaced with a flat- bladed screw driver. If dot patterns on the Configuration Test Label indicate lines of missing dots, (as shown in Figure 5-4), the printhead is dirty or may require replacement.

Figure 5-4 Configuration Test Label

A single missing dot, or two non-adjacent dots, does not indicate a bad printhead; however, multiple adjacent missing dots do indicate a bad printhead.

Removal:

Follow the procedure below when replacing the printhead,	(see
Figure 5-5).

1.Turn off the Printer and open the Side Access Cover.

2.Rotate the Printhead Latch downward to unlatch the Printhead, then raise the Printhead to an upright position and lower the Hinge Plate.
