the printer uses a metric-style fuse (5 x 20 mm iec) rated at f5a, 250v. the end caps of the fuse must bear the certification mark of a known international safety organization (see figure 38 on page 92). the printer comes with two approved fuses: one in the circuit and one in the “spare fuse” holder.

    1. turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. see figure 30.

    2. using a small-blade screwdriver or similar tool, remove the fuse holder from the printer.

    3. remove the faulty fuse and install a new fuse of the correct type. refer to figure 31. the fuse that goes into the printer first is the one that is “in-circuit.” if you use the spare fuse, be sure to order a replacement fuse (fuses can be ordered from your zebra distributor).

    4. snap the fuse holder back into position.

    5. reconnect the power cord.

    if the new fuse fails right away, the printer has an internal component failure and must be repaired.
