2. PARTS REPLACEMENT
The section explains the procedures for replacement of parts, assemblies, and units in the field. Only
the disassembly procedures are explained here. For reassembly, reverse the disassembly procedure.
2.1 Precautions for Parts Replacement
(1) Before starting to replace parts, remove the AC cord and interface cable.
(a) Remove the AC cord in the following sequence:
i) Turn off (“o”) the power switch of the printer
ii) Disconnect the AC inlet plug of the AC cord from the AC receptacle.
iii) Disconnect the AC cord and interface cable from the printer.
(b) Reconnect the printer in the following procedure.
i) Connect the AC cord and interface cable to the printer.
ii) Connect the AC inlet plug to the AC receptacle.
iii) Turn on (“l”) the power switch of the printer.
(2) Do not disassemble the printer as long as it is operating normally.
(3) Do not remove parts which do not have to be touched; try to keep the disassembly to a minimum.
(4) Use specified service tools.
(5) When disassembling, follow the laid out sequences. Parts may be damaged if these sequences are
not followed.
(6) Since screws, collars and other small parts are likely to be lost, they should temporarily be attached
to the original positions during disassembly.
(7) When handling IC’s such as microprocessors, ROMs and RAMs, or circuit boards, do not wear
gloves that are likely to generate static electricity.
(8) Do not place printed circuit boards directly on the equipment or floor.

2.3.1 Upper Cover Assy
(1) With the power switch turned off, unplug the AC power cord from the outlet.
(2) Disconnect the interface cable 1.
(3) Press the button 2on right side of the Upper cover and open the stacker cover assy 3.
(4) Take out the image drum unit 4.
(5) Remove one screw 5, and remove the I/F cover 6from the back side of the printer.
(6) Open the manual feed guide assy 7. Unlock the latches at two locations on the front side. Lift the
front side of the upper cover 8up and unlock the latches at two locations on the back side. Lift and
remove the upper cover assy 8.
Note : 1. When removing or reinstalling the upper cover, be careful not to get the motor cables
tangled or caught.
2. Be careful not to touch (or rotate) the DC motor thoughtlessly. Rotating the DM motor
counterclockwise removes the eject spring. (Refer to 2.3.9.)
