DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

Disassembly

3. Remove the three screws 6) C.B.S 3x6 that are securing the circuit board plate, and 

then pull the circuit board plate forward to remove it from the printer mechanism.

Figure 4-15.  Screws Securing the Board Plate

4. Disengage the two clamp foot hooks that are securing the cables to the circuit 

board plate, and then remove the clamp feet to release the cables.

„

You should reattach acetate tape to point A on the right side of 
the printer mechanism when looking at it from the rear after re-
hooking the cable. Furthermore, the ferrite core should also be 
installed to the surface above it. (Refer to Figure 4-14)
