Removal and replacement strategy
This chapter describes how to remove, replace, and reassemble the major assemblies of the
printer. Replacement is generally the reverse of removal. To identify the left side and right side of
the printer, face tray 1 on the front of the unit.
WARNING! Unplug the power cord from the power outlet (at the wall receptacle) before attempting to service
the product. If you do not follow this warning, severe injury can result. Certain functional checks
during troubleshooting might require power to be supplied to the product. However, all power
should be turned off and the product should be unplugged when you remove any product
assemblies or components. Never operate or service the printer when the protective cover is
removed from the laser/scanner assembly. The reflected beams, although invisible, can damage
your eyes.
CAUTION The product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always
perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation. If an ESD-protected workstation is not
