4.2 Disassembly and Assembly
This section describes procedures for disassembling and assembling the main components of the printer. When the procedure for installing a component is simply the reverse of removing the component, this chapter does not describe the assembly procedure. If necessary, special notes on assembling or adjusting a component are given at the end of the description of each procedure. Be sure to follow the instructions in these notes.
The exploded diagrams in the appendix show how the components fit together. Refer to them as necessary.
