Connector Shells
Some of the cable connectors in the printer are grouped inside connector
shells. The procedure below explains how to remove and install cable
assemblies from any connector shell in the printer.
NOTE: There is also a diagram of the P106 and P107 connector shells on the
plastic cover over the power supply.
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 106).
2. Cabinet Models: Remove the paper path (page 177).
Pedestal Models: Remove the top cover assembly (page 161).
3. Disconnect the cable connector shell containing the cable assembly that
you will replace.
4. Pull the side of the connector shell outward and gently pull the cable
connector upward. (See Figure 19.) Notice that two-wire connectors are
grouped across from two-wire connectors in a connector shell. Four-wire
connectors are grouped across from four-wire connectors in a connector
shell.
5. Disengage the key tab(s) on the cable connector from the slots in the side
of the connector shell.
6. Remove the cable connector from the connector shell. (Remove only the
cable connector for the cable you are replacing; leave the other cable
connectors in the shell.)
Installation
1. Position the cable connector in the connector shell. Two-wire connectors
are always grouped across from two-wire connectors in a connector shell.
Four-wire connectors are always grouped across from four-wire
connectors in a connector shell. (See Figure 19.)
2. Pull the side of the connector shell outward and gently push the cable
connector down into the connector shell.
3. Engage the key tab(s) on the cable connector in the slots in the side of
the connector shell. Press the sides of the connector shell inward to make
sure all cable connector tabs are engaged in the shell slots.
4. Connect the cable connector shell to its printer connection.
5. Cabinet Models: Install the paper path (page 177).
Pedestal Models: Install the top cover assembly (page 161).
6. Return the printer to normal operation (page 107).
