4.2 Caution regarding assembling/disassembling
of the Printer Mechanism, and how to ensure
of quality on re-assembled product
On current low end models, we basically forbade to remove Housing Lower from
Printer Mechanism in your repair. This is because there is a possibility of Main Frame
deformation when a part (such as Ink System Unit) is removed from Printer
Mechanism without Housing Lower.
For this reason, we recommend that a new Printer Mechanism be replaced along with
the Housing Lower when a part cannot be replaced without removing the Printer
Mechanism.
On these models, you have to remove Housing Lower from Printer Mechanism when
replacing [Waste Ink Pads] with new one.
Therefore, we clarify caution regarding assembling/disassembling of the Printer
Mechanism without Housing Lower, and how to ensure of quality on repaired
production this section.
