The print engine
used for these models is the same engine that was used on the P3005 models. The
addition of the automatic document feeder, flatbed scanner and fax module
transform it into an MFP printer. When the fuser is in need of replacing be
sure to replace the drive gears as well to avoid the noise problem. The flatbed
scanner and ADF are separate units and can be replaced individually. If you
need to gain access to other printer components that are under the flatbed
scanner the flatbed and ADF can be removed as one unit. If this is the case go
to step 4. The scanner will come as a complete unit with nothing to swap over.
The ADF on the other hand will need to have the control panel and output tray
removed from the old unit and installed on the replacement ADF. The ADF can be
easily removed from the flatbed scanner.
1). While facing the back of the printer remove the
interface cable by unscrewing the two thumb screws and detaching the cable from
the base.
2). Lift the ADF lid like you were going to make a copy on
the glass and slide the hinge release tab to the right side.
3).With the ADF still in the raised position it can lifted
straight up and off the printer.
4).With the ADF removed, the flatbed scanner can now be
removed. The right side and formatter covers will need to come off to gain
access to the cables and connectors. Grab the right side cover and pull it
toward the rear of the printer.
5). Release the formatter cover and lift it up off its
hinges.
6). While facing the rear of the printer, located on the
left side is the fax cover. Grab the cover and pull it away from the printer.
7).Remove the cable from the guide at the top center of the
formatter and disconnect it from the board. (Damage to the cable can occur if
it is not removed from the guide.) To the left of this cable, disconnect the
ribbon cable and then the power cable connector.
8). There are two screws on the back side, one where the fax
cover was removed. The other is on the right side, near the top of the metal
frame. There is one screw on the left side, near the top.
9).While facing the back of the printer slide the scanner
assembly back until it stops. Then lift it straight up and off the printer.
10). When you are re-installing the flatbed scanner the
stapler assembly can block the scanner from moving back into the proper
position. If the assembly does not slide in easily, open the stapler door and
press down on the stapler as you try to slide the flatbed scanner forward into
the correct position.
