5.1General Instructions
This chapter provides procedures for removal and replacement of field replacement
components. For other components not shown in this chapter, the diagrams in the
Parts Catalog
For replacement of a component, use the reverse of the removal procedures
explained in this chapter.
Before proceeding, make sure printer power is switched off and the power cord is
un-plugged from the printer. See
WarningTo avoid injury to human bodies, make sure that AC power is removed
Screws/hardware
Screws and hardware used in the printer are listed in the beginning section of the
Parts catalog. Symbol numbers also given in the list for these screws are referred
to in the disassembling instructions in the following pages.

below.
CautionTo secure a self-tapping screws, align it with the thread carefully. First
turn it counterclockwise, then slowly clockwise. Do not over-tighten.
In case the selftapped thread is damaged, the affected part must be
replaced with a new part.

5.2Disassembly: Main unit printer
In order to remove the drum unit, the toner con-tainer, developer unit, and the
paper feed unit must be removed beforehand.
NoteIn most cases, the toner container and the developer unit must be
removed in the beginning.
Use the reverse of removal procedures when replacing the component back in the
printer. Observe whatever note provided to give critical handlings.
WarningBefore proceeding, unplug the power cord from the printer and the
power supply.
WarningNever attempt to operate the printer with a component removed.
CautionThe printer uses electrostatic-sensitive parts inside (on boards, laser
scanner, etc.). Provide an antistatic (discharging) device, such as a
wrist strap, that can effectively discharge your body before touching
boards, laser scanner, etc.
Removing the developer unit
Open the top cover. The toner container must be removed first: Pull the toner container release lever as below. Pull the toner container slowly up. To avoid toner adhering from spilling, keep it as level as possible.
Toner container
Release lever
After removing the toner container, remove the developer’s connector from the
printer. Then, while pressing the developer release lever towards the front of the
printer, remove the developer unit.

NoteAfter removing the developer, seal it in the protective bag and place it
on a flat sur-face. Do not place the developer in a dusty area. If you
ship the developer, pack it in the shipping container specifically supplied with the printer. See Shipping the de-veloper unit on page 5-8.
Also do not touch the developing roller of the developer. Do not place
floppy disks near the developer.
Shipping the developer unit
If the developer unit is shipped (the developer must be shipped separately if the
printer is shipped), it must be fit in the shipping container supplied originally with
the printer.
Shipping
container
First, flap the magnet roller protective cover down. Put the developer unit in the
plastic bag supplied with the shipping container. Put the developer unit into the
shipping container.
Installing a new developer
Use a developer unit DV-25 for replacement. Produce the developer unit from the
protective bag.

Removing the paper feed unit
The paper feed unit can be removed from the printer without using tools. First, be
sure to remove the paper cassette entirely out. Otherwise, the paper feed unit will
not come out.
To remove the paper feed unit, first remove the paper cassette out. While holding
and pushing the locking tabs at both sides of the paper feed unit, draw the paper
feed unit all the way out.

Removing the transfer roller
Before removing the transfer roller, remove the paper feed unit out of the printer.
CautionDo not touch the transfer roller (sponge) surface. Oil and dust (parti-
cles of paper, etc.) on the transfer roller can significantly deteriorate
the print quality (white spots, etc.).
Remove the transfer roller cover. Facing front the paper feed unit, move it to left.
The transfer roller is held in place by two axle holders that hold the roller axle at
both ends. Hold and pull the gear at the right end of the roller up, then remove the
left end.

Cleaning the transfer roller
To clean the transfer roller, hold it by its gear so that the roller hangs down horizon-tally. Use a vacuum cleaner, moving nozzle along the roller, but do not let the
nozzle directly touch on the roller. Thoroughly clean the entire surface of the roller.
Rreplacing the transfer roller
Carefully clean the left side (facing the front of the paper feed unit) axle end before
replacing the transfer roller. This end of the axle is directly applied with the high
voltage transfer bias.

CautionStore the drum unit in a clear, clean place, not exposed to a strong
light source. Seal it in a protective bag. Avoid bump the drum surface
onto hard objects.
Replacing the drum unit
To replace the drum unit into the printer, be sure to align the guides and rails on
the drum unit with each other. Do not force to slide the drum unit in unless they
are properly aligned with each other.
Main charger unit
Pull the main charger until it stops. While pushing the (white) locking peg inwards the printer, pull the main charger unit all the way out.

Open the toner container access door. Remove two screws ➊. While holding the
spring-loaded back side cover to open, pull the back plane of the top cover away
from the printer, then pull it upwards to remove.
Removing covers
The left and right side covers are snapped onto the chassis by catches and holes. No
screws are used. To remove the left and right side covers, release those catches and
holes at the front and the rear from each other, by inserting a small flat blade
screw driver between the cover and the chassis. Then, free the catches at the bottom by lowering the top side of the cover downwards.

Remove the four screws ➊ and remove the fuser top cover. Remove the heater
lamp.
NoteDo not directly touch on the heater lamp. Finger prints on the heater’s
outer surface can prevent proper fusing of toner on paper.
To install a new heater lamp, be sure that the lamp terminal (end) ➋ is properly
hitched by the fuser terminal ➊.
Installing the fuser roller
Remove the four screws to remove the cover. When lifting the cover, hold the heat
roller so as not to drop the roller.
To remove the heat (metal) roller, first remove “plate fuser up” by using a small
flat-blade screwdriver as shown below.
NoteSpecial care should be taken not to let the screwdriver go too far into
the hole. Such an action can irrevocably damage the roller surface.
