UNIT DISASSEMBLY

Thermal Writer Disassembly
Special Instructions
This assembly procedure describes the use of Vibra-Tite on some threaded parts. The Vibra-Tite must dry
for a minimum of 10 minutes before assembly. The Vibra-Tite may be applied to the threaded pieces ahead
of time and allowed to dry. This way the parts will be available for assembly when needed. If the parts
already have Vibra-Tite, this process can be skipped.
Before applying all adhesive backed materials, clean surface with alcohol to make sure it is clean and oil
free.
Torque specifications for all fastening devices shall be 3.5-4.0 lbs-in, unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: Item numbers in this section refer to the parts in Table 2 unless stated differently.
NOTE: The writer assembly can be obtained as a complete assembly for service purposes, or a specific
part or subassembly can be obtained to repair a specific writer related issue. The entire writer door (Item
23, Table 1) with the platen roller, latch assembly, and instruction label attached is available as an
assembly; and the thermal print head, print head mount, anti-static brush, and associated cables are also
available as an assembly (see Table 2).
