Introduction

This document covers repacking a XANTÉ PlateMaker 3, Accel-a-Writer 3 series, ScreenWriter 3, or
StockMaker printer for shipment. Damage resulting from incorrect packing voids your printer warranty.
To keep the warranty valid, you must follow the packing procedure in this document.

Before You Begin

The printer should be repacked in its original packing and shipping materials. If you no longer have part
or all of these materials, contact either XANTÉ Customer Support (at 800-540-7091 in the US or Canada
or at 334-473-6502 elsewhere) or your XANTÉ vendor to order replacements.

Before returning the printer for service, you must obtain an RGA (Return Goods Authorization) number
from XANTÉ.

Repacking

When repacking the printer for a service return, do not include the following items:

• Manuals and Software • Toner Cartridge • Power Cord

• Duplexer • Paper Cassette Feeder(s) • Additional Cassette(s)
(if applicable) (if applicable) and covers (if applicable)

• 2000 Sheet Feeder • Oversize Media Support
(if applicable) (if applicable)

These items are to be stored according to the guidelines in your printer user’s guide or returned to their
original packaging.

2 Repacking Procedure __________________________________________________________________

If you have a toner vacuum, use it to remove all loose toner in the printer before shipping it.

Removing Cables, Cassette(s), and Media

1. Turn off the power to the printer, and if a 2,000 sheet feeder is attached, turn off the power to it.

2. Disconnect the printer power cord and all attached interface cables. If a 2,000 sheet feeder is
attached, disconnect its power cord.

3. Remove any paper cassettes in the printer. Remove any loaded media, including that in the printer
or in an optional feeder. Store the media according to guidelines in your printer user’s guide.

Removing Toner Cartridges

1. Squeeze the latch on the top cover to release the lock (fig. 1); then, lift the top cover (fig. 2). The
multipurpose feeder opens automatically as you open the top cover.

Caution: Do not touch any parts inside the printer.

2. Remove the toner cartridge by grasping its handles and pulling it slowly out of the printer (fig. 3).

Caution: Once you begin pulling the cartridge out of the printer, remove it completely. The

cartridge’s shutter may not open properly if the cartridge is pulled partially out and then
pushed back in the printer.
