RE: [Digital BW] Help! Print head jammed

2002-05-13 by Nij

OOOOOPPPPS - Clarifying that... you need to get at the print head, shift it
over tha blackage any which way you can, and then get at the wiper. All this
will be easier with the case off. Four screws and you're in... but it's not
impossible with the case on. You won't even need to move the print head if
you use a screw-driver blade to move the wiper... but you better be sure you
have the power off [  ;)  ]  and that you don't poke the wrong thing.
