Removal and replacement strategy
Introduction
The printer uses a eld repair strategy. Defective parts are diagnosed and replaced at the Field Replaceable Unit
(FRU) or Bench Repair Unit (BRU) assembly level. Repair normally begins by using the printer internal diagnostics
and the following two-step process:
1.Isolate the problem to the major system (for example, the network, server, or printer).
2.Identify the cause of failures according to the printer troubleshooting service manual and follow the
disassembly procedures to replace the defective parts or the consumable parts.
IMPORTANT:See the separate Control Panel Message Document (CPMD) for this printer for control-panel error
message descriptions and solutions (also available online).
After locating a faulty part, the printer can usually be repaired at the assembly level by replacing FRUs. Some
mechanical assemblies might need to be repaired at the subassembly level. HP does not support replacement of
components on the printed circuit assemblies (PCAs).
The user replaces supplies (toner cartridge) as they are depleted. Additional instructions about other userreplaceable parts are provided in this section.
The printer tracks the amount of use on the customer-replaceable supplies. The printer prompts the user to
replace certain items when a supply is nearly depleted.
Swapping toner cartridges between products might cause a misrepresentation of supply life values and is not
recommended.
Considerations during removal and replacement
This chapter describes the removal and replacement of FRUs/BRUs only.
Replacing FRUs/BRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Notes are included to provide directions for dicult or
critical replacement procedures.
HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the printed-circuit assembly (PCA)
component level.
WARNING!Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed from the laser scanner
assembly. The reected beam, although invisible, can cause damage to the eyes.
The sheet-metal parts can have sharp edges. Be careful when handling sheet-metal parts.
Before attempting to remove or replace parts, turn the printer o and remove the power cable. Never operate
the printer with the parts removed from the printer.
Turn the printer o, wait 5 seconds, and then remove the power cord before attempting to service the printer. If this warning is not followed, severe injury can result as well as damage to the printer. The power must be on for
certain functional checks during troubleshooting. However, the power cord must be disconnected during parts
removal. AC voltage is still present inside the printer when the power switch is in the
must be disconnected before servicing the printer.
o position. The power cord
ENWWRemoval and replacement strategy3
CAUTION:Incorrectly routed or loose wire harnesses might interfere with other internal components or
assemblies and be damaged, pinched, or frayed. Make sure that wire harnesses are correctly routed and
retained when installing assemblies.
Do not bend or fold the atexible cables (FFCs) during removal or installation. Do not straighten pre-folds in
the FFCs.
Do not expose the toner cartridge, or image drum, to strong light even for a short time.
IMPORTANT:When an assembly is removed that includes a rating plate or tag (or a printer code label), make
sure to transfer the plate or tag (or code label) to the replacement assembly.
Do not replace the formatter and engine controller simultaneously during a single printer servicing. Doing so
might cause the printer to become unstable or inoperable.
During removal, replacement, or transportation of the printer, remove the cassettes.
Some repair operations might require attening or straightening FFCs. However, try to avoid doing so. Before
inserting the FFC, examine the foil connectors for damage. FFCs must be fully seated in the connectors. Failure to
fully seat a FFC into a connector can cause a short circuit in a PCA or errors when restarting the printer. FFCs have
a line on them that is parallel to the connector body when the FFC is correctly seated.
NOTE:During assembly removal and replacement, or if the printer is moved, remove the toner cartridge.
Toner is a non-poisonous substance composed of plastic and a small number of colored components. If toner
gets on the skin or clothing, wipe it o with dry tissue paper and wash in cold water. Hot water sets toner and it
might be dicult, or impossible, to remove. Toner easily breaks down vinyl materials, so avoid letting toner
contact vinyl.
Reassembling procedures are generally the reverse of removal unless otherwise specied. Occasionally, notes
and tips are included to provide directions for dicult or critical replacement procedures.
Note the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each screw. Be sure to return each screw to its original
location during reassembly.
To install a self-tapping screw, rst 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 aected assembly.
TIP:Some gures might show assemblies removed or installed that have not yet been removed or installed at
that specic step. However, the procedures are correct for this printer and the target assembly. Always
thoroughly read the instructions that accompany each gure.
Electrostatic discharge
CAUTION:
removing printer parts. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat. If an ESD
workstation or mat is not available, touch the sheet-metal chassis to provide a static ground before touching an
ESD-sensitive assembly.
Protect the ESD-sensitive assemblies by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the printer.
Some parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder when

WARNING!Make sure that assemblies 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 printer or interfere
with printer operation. Do not intermix screws that are removed from one assembly with the screws that are
removed from another assembly.
NOTE:To install a self-tapping screw, rst 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 aected assembly.
Always take note of the length, diameter, color, type, and location of each removed screw. Make sure that
screws are installed in the original location they were removed from during reinstallation.
