Removal and replacement strategy
WARNING! Turn the product off, wait 5 seconds, and then remove the power cord before attempting
to service the product. If this warning is not followed, severe injury can result, in addition to damage to
the product. The power must be on for certain functional checks during troubleshooting. However,
disconnect the power supply during parts removal.
Never operate or service the product with the protective cover removed from the laser/scanner
assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.
The sheet-metal parts can have sharp edges. Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts.
CAUTION: Do not bend or fold the flat flexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation. Also, do
not straighten pre-folds in the FFCs. You
an FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA.
NOTE: To install a self-tapping screw, first turn it counterclockwise to align it with the existing thread
pattern, and then carefully turn it clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten. If a self-tapping screw-hole
becomes stripped, repair the screw-hole or replace the affected assembly.

TIP: For clarity, some photos in this chapter show components removed that would not be removed to
service the product. If necessary, remove the components listed at the beginning of a procedure before
proceeding to service the product.
Electrostatic discharge
CAUTION: Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder
when removing product parts. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat, or
use an ESD strap. If an ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the
sheet-metal chassis
Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the product.

Types of screws
WARNING! Make sure that components are replaced with the correct screw type. Using the incorrect
screw (for example, substituting a long screw for the correct shorter screw) can cause damage to the
product or interfere with product operation. Do not intermix screws that are removed from one
component with the screws that are removed from another component.
NOTE: The screw illustrations in the following table are for reference only. Screws might vary in size
and appearance from those shown in this table.

touching an ESD-sensitive part.
Post-service test
After service has been completed, perform the following test to verify that the repair or replacement
was successful.
Print-quality test
1. Verify that you have completed the necessary reassembly steps.
2. Make sure that the input tray contains clean, unmarked paper.
3. Attach the power cord and interface cable, and then turn on the product.
4. Verify that the expected startup sounds occur.
5. Print a configuration page, and then verify that the expected printing sounds occur.
6. Use the control-panel menus to calibrate the product.
7. Print a diagnostic page, and then verify that the print quality is as expected.
8. Send a print job from the host computer, and then verify that the output meets expectations.
9. If necessary, restore any customer-specified settings.
10. Clean the outside of the product with a damp cloth.

Replace the pickup roller
The roller must be rotated into the service position to remove it.
CAUTION: Avoid touching the spongy roller surface unless you are going to replace the roller. Skin
oils on the roller can cause paper-pickup problems.
1. Turn the product on, and wait for it to reach the Ready state. Perform the following steps to rotate
the roller to the service position.
NOTE: If you have removed Tray 2 to service the product, reinstall the tray before turning the
product on.
TIP: The following steps rotate the engine paper-pickup roller
into the service position.
a. Open the 2ndry Service menu by pressing the Left Arrow button and the Cancel button
simultaneously.
b. Use the arrow buttons to select Pick roller, and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button again to confirm that you want the roller to rotate.
c. Listen for the roller to rotate. When the roller is done rotating, unplug the power cord, and
then place the power button in the off position.
CAUTION: It is important to place the power button in the off position
power cord so that the product power does not come on immediately when the power cord is
plugged in again.
d. Remove Tray 2.
e. Perform the remaining steps in this procedure to remove the roller. After replacing the roller,
plug the power cord into the product, and then use the power button to turn the product on.

2. Carefully raise the front of the product.
WARNING! Do not place the product face-up resting on the rear cover and rear door. Excess
toner might enter the laser/scanner assembly and contaminate the mirrors, causing print-quality
problems. The laser/scanner is not a FRU. If the laser/scanner mirrors are contaminated, the entire
product must be replaced.
CAUTION: Do not lift the product by grasping the front door and Tray 2 cavity.
NOTE: The roller is located inside the tray cavity.
