Replace the Printhead

66
The rapid heating and cooling process used during printing wears out
the printhead. How often you need to replace the printhead depends on
factors such as the type of images you print, the type of media or ribbon
you use, the amount of energy sent to the printhead, the print speed, and
the ambient temperature. The firmware detects the new printhead when
you restart the printer.
1 Turn off the printer and disconnect the printer from power.
2 Open the media cover.
3 Remove the media and ribbon (if installed).
4 Turn the printhead lift lever counterclockwise to raise the printhead.
5 Detach the magnetic pressure arm from the printhead bracket and
disconnect the two cables from the printhead as you remove it from
the printer.
