Note*: If you are printing through the Ethernet port it is important that you retrieve the parameter

for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway from the old board before replacing it. To do so,

please reference to the owner's manual under section "Setting the IP Address on the Laser". Don't

panic if your machine doesn't boot up and you are unable to retrieve the parameters because we

can get it from the computer. Give us a call after you complete installing the board, and we'll walk

you through getting the parameters.

1. Turn the machine off. Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet

2. Assuming you are facing the front of the machine, remove the panel on the right side to

gain access to the main controller board. Use the #2 Phillips head screw driver to remove

the 6 Phillips head screws, 4 of the screws are on the side and 2 in the back. Take the

panel off and set it aside. With the panel out of place you should be able to see the

controller board on the right side of the machine towards the rear. (Figure 1)
