PhaserLink™ Upgrade for the Phaser 340 — Upgrade Kit Z340PL

Upgrading the printer

Removing the main board

Caution Do not tilt the printer. If you must move the printer to access the rear of the printer to install the upgrade, be careful not to tip or tilt the printer. Hot, liquid ink in the printer could spill and damage the printer. Once the printer is turned off, it takes 30 minutes for the ink to cool to its solid state. Wait and allow the ink to cool.

1.Turn off the printer. Do not unplug the printer; this preserves a ground path to dissipate static charges. Unplug any network or computer connections to the printer.

2.Loosen the two thumbscrews securing the main board; remove the main board and place it on a flat, stable, static-safe surface.
