Disassembly and Reassembly

Service Manual

5. Disassembly and Reassembly

5.1 General Precautions on Disassembly

When you disassemble and reassemble compo-

nents, you must use extreme caution. The close

proximity of cables to moving parts makes proper

routing a must.

If components are removed, any cables disturbed

by the procedure must be restored as close as

possible to their original positions. Before remov-

ing any component from the machine, note the

cable routing that will be affected.

Whenever servicing the machine, you

must perform as follows:

1. Check to verify that documents are not stored

in memory.

2. Be sure to remove the toner cartridge before

you disassemble parts.

3. Unplug the power cord.

4. Use a flat and clean surface.

5. Replace only with authorized components.

6. Do not force plastic-material components.

7. Make sure all components are in their proper

position.

Releasing Plastic Latches

Many of the parts are held in place with plastic

latches. The latches break easily; release them

carefully.

To remove such parts, press the hook end of the

latch away from the part to which it is latched.
