Connector Coupling Shrouds

Some of the cable connectors in the printer are grouped inside connector
coupling shrouds designated P106 and P107. This procedure explains how to
remove and install cable assemblies from these coupling shrouds.
NOTE: There is also a diagram of the P106 / P107 connector coupling
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 230).
2. Cabinet Models: Remove the paper path (page 303).
Pedestal Models: Remove the top cover assembly (page 281).
3. Disconnect the connector coupling shroud containing the cable assembly
that you will replace.
4. Pull the side of the coupling shroud outward and gently pull the cable
connector upward. (See Figure 23.) Notice that in a coupling shroud two-
wire connectors are grouped across from two-wire connectors and four-
wire connectors are grouped across from four-wire connectors.
5. Disengage the key tab(s) on the cable connector from the slots in the side
of the coupling shroud.
6. Remove the cable connector from the 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
coupling shroud. Four-wire connectors are always grouped across from
four-wire connectors in a coupling shroud. (See Figure 23.)
2. Pull the side of the 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 coupling shroud. Press the sides of the coupling shroud inward to
make sure all cable connector key tabs are engaged in the coupling slots.
4. Connect the connector coupling shroud to its printer connection.
5. Cabinet Models: Install the paper path (page 303).
Pedestal Models: Install the top cover assembly (page 281).
6. Return the printer to normal operation (page 231).
