  1. Lift the printhead locking lever.
  2. Inspect the path for obstructions or jammed labels.
  3. Push the lever down firmly until it locks with a clear click.
  4. Check the display for a 'Ready' status.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not force the lever. Keep the printhead clean with an original cleaning pen, ensuring no adhesive build-up interferes with the latch mechanism.
