2.1.2 Press Contact and Release Mechanism of Thermal Head

The head ASSY is pressed firmly against the platen roller by the force of the head
spring. When the release lever is lifted, the lock of the release lever is unlocked so
that the roll cover is released. The tape can be loaded into the machine in this state.
When the head ASSY is pressed against the platen roller, close the roll cover.
