/MAJOR UNIT REPLACEMENT/MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord before replacing the main parts.
2. Never perform disassembling, assembling, and cleaning just after printing. Doing so may cause you to
be injured by the print head and the inner parts of the printer being hot.
3. When cleaning the cutter, be careful not to be injured by the cutter blade.
4. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands with the covers.
CAUTION!
1. Fix the harnesses and the cord bushes with the cable clamp. Failure to do this may cause the covers
to catch them.

2. Do not remove the screws below. Doing so will require the printer block position adjustment with the jig.
3. Be careful not to damage the sensor window. If so, the sensor cannot detect the feed gap or the black
mark correctly, causing improper printing.
4. When replacing parts or performing maintenance on the printer, be careful not to damage the print head
with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please treat it carefully by not hitting a hard
object against it.
