4Disconnect the 10-pin scanner controller PCB connector (callout 2) to provide access to the fan air duct (callout 3). Use care when removing the fan air duct (callout 3) to prevent bending or breaking its locking tab.

5Carefully lift the fan air duct locking tab (callout 3) and slide the fan shield away (as indicated by the arrow) from the fan, and then remove it.

6Pry the top of the grounding strip (callout 4) out of the optical-unit-rail mounting hole.

CAUTIONThe fan must draw air into the scan unit. Failure to correctly position the fan can result in damage to MFP components. Verify that the airflow arrow (located under the drive-belt tension bracket) embossed on the fan housing points into the scan unit. Verify that the optic-unit drive belt tension bracket (which sits on top of the fan) seats into the slot provided. See figure 84 on page 107.

Reinstall Note Anytime the glass is removed and replaced, calibrate the ADF/scan unit. See “Calibration” on page 47.
