- Open the upper inner cover, and then cover the PCDUs with a sheet of paper, to prevent foreign objects from falling into the PCDUs. (PCDU)
- Remove the snaps and flat cable from the LED head [A] (
×2,
×1).
- Lift the toner end sensor unit [A] upward, and then slide it in the direction of the arrow.
- Remove the connector from the toner end sensor [A] (
×1).
- Release the harness from the guide hooks on the cover (hook x5 for BK, x3 for CMY).
- Raise the hook [A], and then slide the discharge lamp cover [B] in the direction of the arrow to remove it (hook x1).
Only when removing the LED head (BK), remove the cables (purple×2, orange×4) one by one in advance from the harness guide [A] at the rear right corner.
This is necessary to make allowance for the harness when removing the connector in the next step. Unlike other cable guides, this part has mylar [B] attached to prevent the cables from coming off, so it is more difficult to remove the cables here. Be careful not to break the cables.
- Disconnect the connector for the discharge lamp and remove the LED head [A] (
×1).
- The flat cables of the LED heads have different colors. They have a fixed order.
- If you remove the flat cables of the LED heads, during re-assembly connect them so that they overlap in the order of Y / M / C / K.
[A]: Flat cable: EGB: LED head Y
[B]: Flat cable: EGB: LED head M
[C]: Flat cable: EGB: LED head C
[D]: Flat cable: EGB: LED head K
