NOTE When working on a part managed as a spare part but not described in the
procedures, check the mounting status well before starting work.
NOTE The options should basically be removed but may be left mounted if it is not
necessary to remove them.

4.1.1 Before Work

- Turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable from the outlet.
- For work around FUSER ASSY, check that the FUSER ASSY and ambient
temperatures are low enough.
- Handle parts with great care. Excess force may damage or disable parts.
- This device has many kinds of screws. Use them at correct positions.
If a screw is used at a wrong position, the threaded hole may be damaged or any other
problem may occur.
- When working, wear a wrist band or any other grounding item to eliminate static
electricity from the body.
- Remove 150 PAPER CASSETTE, 250 PAPER CASSETTE, and the EP cartridge and
place them where the work is not disturbed.

DISASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT

4.1.2 Don'ts
Do not remove the frame components shown below. Removing the components may cause
device misalignment. If such components are removed or their screws are loosened by
mistake, be sure to install or tighten them on a stable and solid horizontal surface.

4.1.3 Check after Work

After work, check that COVER OPEN and LEVER LINK are connected securely. Then
open and close COVER OPEN to see that it works smoothly.

 DISASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT

4.1.4 Notations in Procedures

- "REP X.Y AAAAA" at the beginning of a procedure means that the procedure is for
removing or replacing part AAAAA.
- "(PL X.Y)" after a part name in a procedure means that the part corresponds to Item Y
of Plate (PL) X in Section 5, "Parts List." You can check the shape, the mounting
position, and others in Section 5.
- In a procedure, directions are expressed as follows:
Front: To this side when viewing the device from the front
Rear: To the other side when viewing the device from the front
Left: To the left-hand side when viewing the device from the front
Right: To the right-hand side when viewing the device from the front

Rear

Left

Right

Front

- In a procedure, a screw is described about the attachment position, color,

characteristics, and under-head length.
- If a procedure says " ….. Model," the work applies to the specified model only (not to
other models).
- "(REP X.Y)" in the middle or at the end of a procedure means that "REP X.Y" gives a
related work procedure.
- "(Fig. X.Y)" at the end of a procedure means that "Fig. X.Y" gives a reference illustration
for REP X.Y.
- "Z)" in an illustration corresponds to "Z)" in the work procedure.
- A Phillips screwdriver is used to loosen an illustrated screw unless specified otherwise.
- A black arrow in an illustration means that the part should be moved in the direction of
the arrow. Numbered black arrows mean that the parts should be moved in order of the
numbers.
- A white arrow (FRONT) in an illustration indicates the front direction of the device.
- For a connector (P/J) position, see Section 7, "Electrical Wiring Diagrams."
