Kick plate removal | HP 3150, 3100 manual

Kick plate

CAUTION Be careful working with the kick plate and separation pad. The spring underneath the kick plate might stay attached to the kick plate, but it is also likely to spring away from the kick plate. Place the spring aside for separation pad disassembly.

1Remove all covers, the RFI shield, the printer door, the LIU board, the formatter board, the metal side plate, the paper pickup gear, and the pickup roller assembly.

2Press the separation pad.

3Allow the kick plate to pivot upward (a spring underneath will push it up) and lift the kick plate off its mounting pins.
