4. Snap the left and right sides of the printhead assembly into the ribbon frame. Verify that

the printhead is captured properly by the locking tabs and the frame. Alternately push each

side of the printhead into the ribbon frame to verify that is secured by the tabs.

5. Verify that the printhead moves up and down freely when pressure is applied and remains

locked when released.

6. Clean the printhead. Use a new pen to wipe body oils (finger prints) and debris of the

printhead. Clean from the center of the printhead to the outside. See Cleaning the

Printhead on page 63.

7. Reload media. Plug in the power cord, turn on the printer and print a status report to

ensure proper function. See Printing a Test (Printer Configuration) Label on page 24.
