I. PREFACE
This chapter describes disassembly and reassembly procedures of the printer.
The service technician is to find the factor of the failure according to the "Chapter 4
Troubleshooting" and to follow the disassembly procedures in this chapter to replace the defec-
tive part(s). Replacement of consumable part(s) is also to be conducted according to the proce-
dures described in this chapter.
Note the following precautions during disassembly or reassembly.
1.At disassembly, reassembly, or transportation of the printer, remove the toner cartridge as
necessary. When the cartridge is out of the printer, put it in a protective bag to prevent light
from affecting it.
2. CAUTION: Before servicing the printer, disconnect its power cord from the electrical out-
let.
3.Assembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise specified.
4. Note the lengths, diameters, and locations of screws as you remove them. When reassem-
bling the printer, be sure to use them in their original locations.
5.As a general rule, do not operate the printer with any parts removed.
6.Discharge electrical static from your body by touching the metal frame of the printer prior to
handling the PCBs in order to avoid causing damage by the difference in static charge at that
time.
