Precautions for Disassembling the Printer utions below when dsassembling and assembing Before starting disassembly and re-assembly work, ‘make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the wall outlet. However, if tasks such as voltage ‘measurement need to be carried out, take care to avoid electric shocks. The procedures given in this ‘manual ehould be followed closely. Be careful with the print head when you handle it, a8 It may be very hot just ater the printing. Leave the printer for five minutes or more after disconnecting the AC cable, to completely discharge high electric charge remains in the electrolyte capacitor on the power supply board. Do not touch the heat sink, attached to the switching FET (Q1) onthe power supply board, just after power off as it may be very het. Be sure to wear gloves when disassembling or ‘assembling any parts of the scanner in order to avoid Injury from cuts. In order to protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as. anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal ‘components, If any tone of oil gets onto skin or clothing, wipe it Immediately with a dry cloth, and then rinse the affected part with water.Een Use only the specified tools when carrying out 4.1.2 Tools disassembly, assembly and adjustments n order to avoid demaging the printer, make sure that you use only the ‘Screws should always be tightened tothe specified — peciiadtocis tightening torques. 15 Use only specified lubricants and adhesives with the Table 4.1.
