Disassembly and Assembly 3
This chapter describes the disassembly procedures to be used for replacing the
main assemblies of the Action Laser 1600.
Precautions for Disassembly and Assembly
Follow the precautions below when disassembling or assembling the printer.
Warning
Disconnect the power cord before disassembling/assembling the printer.
Be sure to handle the fusing unit carefully, because the unit remains hot for
a while after the printer stops printing.
If it is necessary to plug in the power cord and operate the printer after
disassembling it, please be careful of the following:
1. Keep your hands and clothing well away from operating or rotating
parts (such as rollers, fan motors, etc.).
2. Never touch electric terminals or high-voltage components (such as
the charger and the high voltage unit).
C a u t i o n
Do not disassemble the imaging cartridge.
If the imaging cartridge is removed from the printer, do not place it in direct
sunlight.
Do not disassemble the optical unit.
Never turn power on if the optical unit is not installed.
To prevent damage to ICs from static electricity, do not touch the ICs on the
circuit board or the terminals of peripheral electrical components with your
hands.
Use only the recommended tools to ensure safe and efficient maintenance
work. Inappropriate tools may damage the machine.
Never open the upper unit until the main motor stops completely. Otherwise,
the gears may be damaged.
When transporting the printer, remove the imaging cartridge from the
printer.
When transporting the printer a long distance, pack up the printer using the
original packing material.
