User Cover
Description
The user cover – like the other covers, the centre-line wall and the
bottom plate – is made of an extremely rugged composite material
and attached to the bottom plate by means of two moulded hinges.
The user cover gives access to the media compartment where the
print mechanism, the internal paper supply, the media take-up unit
1
,
and the transfer ribbon supply
1
are located.
On the inside of the user cover is a label illustrating how to load the
media and ribbon
1
for various modes of operation and containing
important information on printhead and transfer ribbons
1
.
The user cover is attached to the bottom plate using two moulded
hinges and is kept closed by a large circular release button at the top
of the printer.
Replacement
• Open the user cover.
• At one hinge at the time, use your thumb to firmly press the user
cover upwards so the shaft inside the hinge disengages from the
bottom plate moulding. The composite material is surprisingly
sturdy so there is little risk of breaking anything unless you use
some kind of tools.
• Fit the replacement cover in reverse order.
