4418-X6X 4. Repair information This chapter explains how to make adjustments to the All-In-One and how to remove defective parts. Warning: Read the following before handling electronic parts. Handling ESD-sensitive parts Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4418-X6X Adjustments The user is directed in the Lexmark Solution Center to perform the printhead alignment adjustments after replacing a print cartridge. Removal procedures The following procedures are arranged according to the name of the All-In-One part discussed. CAUTION: Unplug the power cord before removing any parts.
4418-X6X Removals General precautions on removals Use caution when disassembling and reassembling components. The close proximity of cables to moving parts makes proper routing a must. When components are removed or replaced, any cables disturbed must be replaced as closely as possible to their original positions. Before removing any component from the machine, be sure you note the cable routing.
