3.5. Operation of Controls, Sensors and LEDs
3.5.1. Printer Access Control
Figure 1 shows a view of the print mechanism and identifies the Printer Access
Control. By pressing the Printer Access Control downward, the upper print
mechanism will be released and it can be lifted into the position shown in figure 7.
Once there, it will snap into a detent position. Do not attempt to open the upper print
mechanism (top cover) further than this detent position, or damage may occur to the
printer. Access can now be gained to the paper path, printhead, platen and cutter as
shown in figures 2 and 7 to remove paper scraps and clean paper dust.
CAUTION! While the top cover is open, there is a serious risk of injury from the
sharp cutter blades! Exercise care at all times to avoid injury.
CAUTION! The thermal printhead heats up significantly during operation and
may be hot! Avoid burns by not touching the thermal printhead directly.
Avoid touching the thermal printhead at all times. Fingerprints or skin oils left
on the thermal printhead may cause premature printhead failure.
To close the upper print mechanism, press down on the black tab shown below
Printer Access Control in figure 3 until the upper print mechanism snaps closed.
Make certain that the printhead cover release lever (see figure 8) on both sides is
fully engaged when closed. If not, the “printhead raised” microswitch will signal the
controller that the printer is not ready and will prevent printing from taking place.
