5.2 Disassembly: 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.
Note In 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.
Warning Before proceeding, unplug the power cord from the printer and the
power supply.
Warning Never attempt to operate the printer with a component removed.
Caution The 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 con-
tainer release lever as below. Pull the toner container slowly up. To avoid toner ad-
hering from spilling, keep it as level as possible.
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.
