The 18-wire printhead (Models A00, 001,
and 003) print wires are numbered 01A -
09A and 01B - 09B (see Figure 93 on
page 342). The 9-wire printhead (Model

Figure 94 on page 343).
The wire numbers are printed under each

18-wire printhead xxB line segments (see
Figure 93 on page 342) should be slightly
lower than the xxA line segments.
