Connector Coupling Shrouds

Some of the cable connectors in the printer are grouped inside connector
coupling shrouds. The procedure below explains how to remove and install
cable assemblies from any connector coupling shroud.
NOTE: There is also a diagram of the P106 / P107 connector coupling
shrouds on the plastic cover over the power supply.
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 132).
2. Cabinet Models: Remove the paper path (page 199).
Pedestal Models: Remove the top cover assembly (page 179).
3. Disconnect the cable connector coupling shroud containing the cable
assembly that you will replace.
4. Pull the side of the connector coupling shroud outward and gently pull the
cable connector upward. (See Figure 22.) Notice that two-wire connectors
are grouped across from two-wire connectors in a connector coupling
shroud. Four-wire connectors are grouped across from four-wire
connectors in a connector coupling shroud.
5. Disengage the key tab(s) on the cable connector from the slots in the side
of the connector coupling shroud.
6. Remove the cable connector from the connector coupling shroud.
(Remove only the cable connector for the cable you are replacing; leave
the other cable connectors in the coupling shroud.)
Installation
1. Position the cable connector in the connector coupling shroud. Two-wire
connectors are always grouped across from two-wire connectors in a
connector coupling shroud. Four-wire connectors are always grouped
across from four-wire connectors in a connector coupling shroud. (See
Figure 22.)
2. Pull the side of the connector coupling shroud outward and gently push
the cable connector down into the coupling shroud.
3. Engage the key tab(s) on the cable connector in the slots in the side of
the connector coupling shroud. Press the sides of the connector coupling
shroud inward to make sure all cable connector tabs are engaged in the
shroud slots.
4. Connect the cable connector coupling shroud to its controller board
connection J106 or J107.
5. Cabinet Models: Install the paper path (page 199).
Pedestal Models: Install the top cover assembly (page 179).
6. Return the printer to normal operation (page 133).
