4. Pull all the paper guides (upper) out to the front side of the printer
mechanism (paper ejection side).
When installing the paper guide located on the left
edge (HP side), be sure to insert it from the rear side of
the printer mechanism: because it has a cutout in
which the actuator for the PE sensor falls, and if the
paper guide is removed to the rear, the actuator will be
damaged.
5. Remove the tension spring stretching the encoder belt from the
back of the printer mechanism.
