(1)Turn the main frame upside down.

(2)Remove the five M4x10 Taptite screws and 16 (sixteen) M3x8 Taptite screws from the base plate.

(3)Slide the base plate to the rear of the printer to remove it.

!CAUTION:

Do not remove the ground wire connected to the base plate if it is not necessary to remove the low-voltage power supply unit. Unnecessary disconnection of the ground wire may cause increased printer noise.
