Removal and Replacement
This chapter describes the complete disassembly of the printer
from the beginning. In every instance, tasks that must be
performed before beginning the procedure are listed first.
Remove the assemblies in the order listed to prevent damage
during re-assembly.
Removal and replacement of user-replaceable maintenance items
is shown in Chapter 4, “Preventive Maintenance.” These items
include:
• All Pickup Rollers and Separation Pad
• Transfer Roller Replacement
• Installing the Toner Cartridge
Servicing the printer involves replacing printed circuit and
electro-mechanical assemblies. Do not repair component failures
within these assemblies. In all instances, replace the failed
assembly.
The assembly procedure is the reverse of the removal procedure,
except where specific instructions are provided.
Caution
Power-off the printer and disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet and the printer before
servicing the printer.
Some sheet metal edges, particularly around the
formatter cage, are sharp. Be careful when
working in these areas to avoid being cut.
Note
The printer contains parts that are sensitive to
Electrostatic-Static Discharge (ESD). Always
observe proper ESD procedures when servicing
the printer. This symbol: appears in this
chapter when the parts being serviced are
especially susceptible to ESD damage.
