Figure 36. Removing the 4 Pin Media Sensor Cable from the J15
3. Carefully unlock the J15 connector (Figure 40, page 241) by pulling out
the top and bottom of the actuator. (Figure 36.)
CAUTION
The actuator will pull out only about 1/16 inch away from the white
connector.
NOTE: Later version controller PCBAs do not have an actuator on J15; the
sensor cable just pulls out.
4. Unplug the 4 pin media sensor cable from J15 on the controller PCBA.
5. Remove the sensor cable from the wire saddles. Note the cable routing.
6. Open the pivoting deck by rotating the deck lock lever fully clockwise.
7. Use the lower media sensor handle and slide the sensor to the center of
the media guard.
8. Remove the two screws that secure the media guard to the lower support
assembly. Use a 2 mm hex wrench.
9. Push up under the media guard, slide it tightly to the right and raise it up
at the back of the lower support just high enough to slide the lower media
sensor out from the right side.
10. Remove the media guard from the printer.
11. Carefully pull the sensor cable out from under the tie wraps on the lower
support and remove the media sensor from the printer.
