RESOLUTION
Steps have been created to help replace the cartridge locks, along with timing tips for the main drive
assembly. The service kit contains four new locks and four new springs. Replace all the locks, even if
they are not broken.
NOTE: Determining if the printer has countermeasured or non-countermeasured cartridge
locks can be accomplished by visually inspecting the locks. The countermeasured locks are
white in color, the non-countermeasured locks are black.

SERVICE ACTION
To Be Performed By: Service Technicians
1. Remove the toner cartridges and ETB.
2. Remove the upper cover (Page 80 in the Service Manual).
3. Remove the right cover (Page 87 in the service Manual).
4. For duplex models: Remove the wires to the duplex fan in the front cover. Simply follow
instructions 5 and 6 on page 77 ? 78 in the service manual. This allows for easier removal of
the cable harnesses.
5. Unplug the following connectors from the driver PCA and remove the wires from the cable
harnesses: a. J209, b. J406, c. J404, d. J213, e. J207, f. J203, g. J402, h. J206, I. J410, j.
J208.
6. Remove the interlock switch assembly by removing the one screw attaching it to the chassis.
Be aware of the clip at the top and the alignment knob when removing the assembly.
7. Remove the bottom cable harness. There is one screw at the top to remove. Hint: when you
reinstall the guide, make sure that the rear locking tab is seated in the sheet-metal chassis.
(See page 120 - 121 in the service manual). It may be necessary to disconnect the white door
latch from the front door. (Notice the red arrow call-out).
8. Remove the main drive assembly (MDA). There are six screws attaching the MDA to the
chassis. Carefully note the locations of the screws to be removed.
CAUTION: Removing the incorrect screws could lead to opening up the
MDA, requiring a unit replacement!
NOTE: Two gears may fall off, there are instructions in step 16 on how to
align them during the re-installation process.
Remove the metal case by removing two screws. Remove the White Link Arm (see arrow in
figure below)
9. Remove the white slide lever by pushing down from the top to release it from the two tabs.
Carefully remove the lever by pulling out, be aware that four springs are attached to this lever
and the individual cartridge locks.
10. Once the sliding lever is removed, the cartridge locks can be accessed. The new grounding
springs are not on the new cartridge locks and will need to be attached. Look at the current
springs on the machine for guidance, and at the instructions below. Make sure to feed the
hooked end through the hole at the end of the lock to begin with (See figure below.).
NOTE: The service kit has four new locks and four new springs in it, replace
all the locks and springs, even if they are not currently broken. The new kit
has white colored countermeasured locks. The picture below shows an old
black non-countermeasured lock.
