Racking/Unracking the Printer Mechanism Assembly

All Series 800 printers use a slider/detent system with springs to retain the Printer Mechanism Assembly
from accidentally being separated from the Outer Chassis. The Series 800 is opened for service by simply
pulling the Printer Mechanism Assembly out of the Outer Chassis as you would a filing cabinet.

Figure 17 Racking/Unpacking the Printer Mechanism Assembly

1. If the Printer Mechanism Assembly is removed from the Outer Slide Chassis, the 30-pin cable joining
the printer Serial Communication Board and the printer's Main Controller Board must be disconnected.
2. Pull the Printer Mechanism Assembly towards you until the slide plungers fit into the front racking
retainers (detents) of the Outer Slide Chassis.
3. Lift the front end of the Printer Mechanism Assembly up until it is free of the retaining tab located on
the front, inside area of the Outer Chassis
