Introduction

This chapter is a step by step guide to the removal and installation of the key components in the printer. You may find it useful to tick off the steps as they are performed. Use the illustration at the end of each procedure to identify the parts referred to in the text.

The procedures appear in order of removal. So the whole machine can be stripped down by starting at the beginning of this chapter and working through the subsequent procedures.

Before using this chapter to remove and install a new component, always make sure that you have performed the relevant service test from Chapter 4. If the test passes you will not need to replace the component.

Reassembly

Most of the procedures in this chapter describe how to remove parts from the Printer. Unless otherwise specified, reinstall the parts in the reverse order of removing them.
