Intermec EasyCoder PC41—Service Manual 41
Chapter 5—Base Frame
5.7 Base Locks
Description
The top cover and the print frame are connected by the top cover locks and
can be tilted up from the base frame as a single unit. The top and bottom
parts of the printer are held together by the base locks, one at each side of
the base frame. The base locks engage the base lock spring hooks fitted at the
print frame (see Chapter 4.4).
Note:
Parts are marked with “L” or “R” indicating left or right side.
When the print frame is closed, the V-spring ensures that the printhead
is pressed against the platen roller with a sufficient force to provide a clear
printout and to drive the media.
Replacement
The base locks come as a kit with two complete assembled units, one for
each side.
• Remove the screws that hold the locks.
• Install new base locks in reverse order.
In the illustration below, the right-side base lock is exploded to better show
the principles of design.
