Installing the Thermal Printhead and the Adapter PCB
Before you begin installation, please acknowledge the following important
safety notes:
Make sure the printer has been turned off and
disconnected from the power supply before you
start installation.
Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Drucker abgeschaltet
und von der Stromversorgung abgetrennt wurde,
bevor Sie mit der Installation beginnen.
Take precautions against electrostatic discharge, for
example, by wearing grounded wrist straps.

To install the thermal printhead
1Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
2Open the side door of the printer.
3Raise the printhead by pulling out the printhead lever and turning it
counterclockwise a quarter of a turn.
4Remove any thermal transfer ribbon.
5Remove the old printhead by pulling it out toward the front of the
printer.
Steps 6-9 describe how to replace the printhead adapter PCB which is
necessary if you are changing to a printhead with different resolution (for
instance, going from 200 dpi to 300 dpi). If this is not the case, go to
Step 11.
Note: If you are using a PD4 printer, you cannot switch to a
printhead with a different resolution other than that which the
printer was designed for.

6Move the balance boxes to the center position, to facilitate the removal of
the adapter PCB.
7Use an appropriate tool, for example a slotted screwdriver, to carefully
pry the printhead cable connector loose from the adapter PCB.
8Remove the two screws that attach the adapter PCB to the printer.
Remove the adapter PCB.
9Attach the new adapter PCB with the two screws removed in Step 8.
10 Connect the printhead cable to the adapter PCB.
11 Insert the new printhead and connect it to the adapter PCB.
12 Adjust the position of the balance boxes so that they fit the width of your
media.
