18. Push the small lever (
→
"Fig. 56- 2 ") back down to secure the replacement plate .
19. Press any button to close the print head.
Warning
If pressing a button does not end the replacement of the exchange plate, the printer automatically
closes the print head after 2.5 min. A signal sounds 30 s before it automatically closes and a
countdown appears on the display. In order to avoid damage to the print head, avoid inserting the
transport plate at this time; instead wait until the print head closes and repeat the operation to insert
the transport plate .
20. Close the printer hood.
21. Retighten the red cap
( → "Fig. 55- 2 ") on the transport cartridge and close the cover plate on
the side of the printer.
Warning
• Switch off the printer and disconnect the power to prevent damage to the print head!
• Never use a transport cartridge together with a replacement plate !
• In order to use the printer again, the transport plate has to be removed and a new exchange plate
has to be inserted.
• Do not reinstall a used transport plate, as it will no longer completely seal the print head.
22. Likewise, clean the removed replacement plate ( → "Fig. 60- 1 ") with the sealing lip
( → "Fig. 60- 2 ") with (clean) alcohol and a cleaning swab ( → "Fig. 60- 3 ") .
23. The sealing lip ( → "Fig. 60- 2 ") must be completely free of ink residue. Check the sealing lip for
damage.
Warning
Do not reuse a replacement plate with a damaged sealing lip!
