1

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 problem solving. However, the power supply should be disconnected 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 must Make sure that all FFCs are fully seated in their connectors. Failure to fully seat 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.

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. If an ESD workstation or mat is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.

Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the product.

Chapter 1 Removal and replacement

ENWW

Required tools

#2 Phillips screwdriver with a magnetic tip and a 152 mm (6 in) shaft length

Small flatblade screwdriver

Needle-nose pliers

ESD mat (if one is available) or ESD strap

Penlight (optional)

CAUTION: Always use a Phillips screwdriver (callout 1). Do not use a Pozidriv® screwdriver (callout 2) or any motorized screwdriver. These can damage screws or screw threads.

Figure 1-1 Phillips and Pozidriv screwdriver comparison

CAUTION: Avoid pulling directly on wires to disconnect wire-harness connectors. Pull on the plastic body of a connector to avoid damaging the connector wires.

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.

For a complete list of screw types and part numbers, see the Parts chapter.

Service approach

Before performing service

Remove all paper from the product.

Turn off the power using the power switch.

Unplug the power cable and interface cable or cables.

Place the product on an ESD workstation or mat, or use an ESD strap (if one is available). If an ESD workstation, mat, or strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part.

ENWW

Service approach

Remove the toner cartridge.

Remove the Tray 2 cassette.

After performing service

Plug in the power cable.

Reinstall the toner cartridge.

Reinstall the Tray 2 cassette.

Load paper in the product.

Post-service test

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 tray contains clean, unmarked paper.

3.Attach the power cord and interface cable or interface cables, 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.Print a demo page, and then verify that the print quality is as expected.

7.Send a print job from the host computer, and then verify that the output meets expectations.

8.Clean the outside of the product with a damp cloth.
