Compatibility Disclaimer
This item is a genuine OEM CAB printhead (part number 5954106.001). It is not a third-party, refurbished, or generic replacement.
While this printhead is listed as compatible with CAB A6+, A6+/300, A6+/300P, XC6, and certain Hermes+ 300 dpi configurations, printer compatibility can vary depending on:
Exact printer model and sub-model
Firmware version
Mechanical revisions or regional variants
You are responsible for verifying that this printhead matches your printer’s required specification before installation.
If your printer originally used a different resolution (e.g., 200 dpi) or a different printhead part number, this 300 dpi unit may not be compatible without hardware or firmware changes.
This listing does not guarantee compatibility with non-CAB printers, modified units, or systems outside the official CAB A6+/XC6 ecosystem.
Installation should only be performed by trained personnel following the official CAB A6+/XC6 service documentation. Incorrect installation can damage the printer or void warranties.
If you are unsure about compatibility, please contact us with your exact printer model and serial number before purchasing.

Do not touch the connector pins or thermal surface with bare fingers.
For A6+ / XC6, consult the official XC6 / A6+ printhead replacement tutorial or service manual for detailed steps.
