2.How to Use this Book
DIS/REASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENT
• To reassemble the product, reverse the order of disassembly unless otherwise specified.
TROUBLESHOOTING
•If a component on a PWB or any other functional unit including a motor is defective, the text only instructs you to replace the whole PWB or functional unit and does not give trou- bleshooting procedures applicable within the defective unit.
•All troubleshooting procedures contained herein assume that there are no breaks in the harnesses and cords and all connectors are plugged into the right positions.
•The procedures preclude possible malfunctions due to noise and other external causes.
3. Precautions for Service
•Keep all disassembled parts in good order and keep tools under control so that none will be lost or damaged.
•After completing a service job, perform a safety check. Make sure that all parts, wiring and screws are returned to their original positions.
•Do not pull out the toner hopper while the toner bottle is turning. This could result in a damaged motor or locking mechanism.
•If the product is to be run with the front door open, make sure that the toner hopper is in the locked position.
•Do not use an air gun or vacuum cleaner for cleaning the ATDC Sensor and other sen- sors, as they can cause electrostatic destruction. Use a blower brush and cloth. If a unit containing these sensors is to be cleaned, first remove the sensors from the unit.
