Servicing Electrical Components
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the printer with power applied,
be aware of the potential for electrical shock.
Warning
Turning the power off by using the On/Off switch does not completely de-
energize the printer. You must also disconnect the printer power cord from the
AC outlet. Position the power cord so that it is easily accessible during servicing.
Warning
Do not touch any electrical component unless you are instructed to do so by a
service procedure.
Servicing Mechanical Components
When servicing mechanical components within the printer, manually rotate drive
assemblies, rollers, and gears.
Warning
Do not try to manually rotate or manually stop the drive assemblies while any
printer motor is running.
Servicing Fuser Components
Warning
This printer uses heat to fuse the toner image to media. The Fuser Assembly is
VERY HOT. Turn the printer power off and wait at least 5 minutes for the Fuser
to cool before you attempt to service the Fuser Assembly or adjacent
components.
