Replacing Printer Components
When a printer component needs replacing, use the appropriate following
procedure. See Chapter 7, “Replacement Parts,” for a complete list of spare
parts.
After replacing a component, refer to Chapters 2 and 3 for the procedures to
complete the repair by ensuring that you leave the printer performing at its
optimum level.
Prior to taking any action, review all warnings, cautions, and procedures
associated with any component you intend to remove.
When performing any of the procedures in this chapter, heed the following
warnings and cautions at all times to avoid the consequence identified.
WARNING
Warning
Always disconnect the power cord before removing the electronics
cover unless the procedure requires the unit be energized. Failure to
disconnect the power cord may result in injury or death due to
electric shock.
CAUTION
Caution
The printhead and integrated circuits on printer circuit boards in
this equipment are sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Prevent ESD by always wearing skin contact ground straps
firmly attached to the equipment metal base assembly when
working inside of the equipment housing. Failure to comply can
result in damage to components or the printhead.
CAUTION
Caution
Do not remove the motor plate or subplates. Changing the position
of the motor plate can alter factory alignment and cause ribbon
wrinkling or liner-stripping problems.
