Lifting the Print Head of the MTP-2283
The MTP-
2283‟s print head is lifted via releasing three spring clips as shown below. Lifting
the head will allow you full access for clearing jams in the printing section as well as access
to the Paper Present Sensor which may need to be cleaned from paper dust from time-to-
time. When the print head of the MTP-2283 is in the up position, be careful not to physically
contact the actual print head element itself (element looks like a long, dark stripe on the
bottom of the head) as you may easily damage it. The printer will not be able to print or
automatically feed paper with the head up. When closing the print head, make sure that all
three spring clips are fully secured around their respective spring pins.
If the printer has a Document Presenter and a paper jam exists between the cutter and the
presenter, then the top section of the presenter may be removed to provide easy access to the
jam. To do this, lightly flex back the spring clip on the side of the presenter until the guide‟s tabs
are just fully exposed (shown below in left-hand picture). Then lift and remove the guide from the
presenter (right picture).
The MTP-
2283‟s print head is
raised by first lightly lifting the
cutter release latch on the center
top of the printer to let the cutter
mechanism pivot downward.
Next, gently flex back the two
spring clips on each side of the
print head until the clips just
clear the spring pins as shown
below.
Finally, once both spring clips are
free from the clip pins, rotate the
print head up as shown. A paper
jam in the print head section can
now be easily cleared.
Document Presenter‟s top guide
plate can be easily removed to
allow access to paper jams in the
cutter / presenter section.
