Replacing the Paper Feed Roller

Replace all feed rollers including the printer and the optional paper feed unit(s). The following procedure shows how to replace the printer's paper feed rollers.

CAUTION

  • The printer weights approximately 50 kg (110 lb.). When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly. The printer will break or cause injury if dropped.

  • Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause injury.

Important

  • Make sure the printer is lifted by at least four people.

  • Always move the printer horizontally. Turning the printer sideways or tilting it backward or forward while moving will result in toner leakage.

  • Do not put the printer on an unstable or sloped surface.

1Move the printer to the edge of a sturdy and stable table or desk.
