TTR: 15 minutes
Step Procedure
1 Unplug the power cord from the printer.
2 Remove the Front Cover.
3 Take off the Rear Pivot Cover.
4 Detach the Print Circuit Board from the chassis. Do not remove any wire
connectors unless indicated.
5 Stand at the front of the Chassis Assembly; remove the Retaining Ring
(140048) from the Platen Roller Shaft.
6 Remove the Platen Card Drive Gear. Be sure to note that the wide part of the
gear hub faces the Sideplate. Remember this when reinstalling it.
7 Take off the Washer Spring (130951). Be sure to note that the wave of the
spring faces the Platen Card Drive Gear. Remember this when reinstalling it.
8 Stand at the rear of the Chassis Assembly; remove the Retaining Ring
(140048) from the Platen Roller Shaft.
9 Remove the Right Roller Gear (760400). Be sure to note that the flat part on
the gear hub faces away from the Sideplate. Remember this when reinstalling
it.
10 Stand at the front of the Chassis Assembly; remove the two Screws (130971)
that secure the Card Guide Assembly. The Card Guide Assembly does not
need to be removed; allow it to “float” so the Platen Roller can be removed
from the chassis.

12 Guide the Platen Roller through the access opening in the front Sideplate and
out of the printer.
