HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
 DIS/REASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENT
 To reassemble the product, reverse the order of disassembly 
unless otherwise specified.
 TROUBLESHOOTING
 If a component on a PWB or any other functional unit including a 
motor is defective, the text only instructs you to replace the 
whole PWB or functional unit and does not give troubleshooting 
procedures applicable within the defective unit.
 All troubleshooting procedures contained herein assume that 
there are no breaks in the harnesses and cords and all 
connectors are plugged into the right positions.
 The procedures preclude possible malfunctions due to noise 
and other external causes.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SERVICE
 Check the area surrounding the service site for any signs of 
damage, wear or need of repair.
 Keep all disassembled parts in good order and keep tools under 
control so that none will be lost or damaged.
 After completing a service job, perform a safety check. Make sure 
that all parts, wiring and screws are returned to their original 
positions.
 Do not pull out the toner hopper while the toner bottle is turning. 
This could result in a damaged motor or locking mechanism.
 If the product is to be run with the front door open, make sure that 
the toner hopper is in the locked position.
 Do not use an air gun or vacuum cleaner for cleaning the ATDC 
Sensor and other sensors, as they can cause electrostatic 
destruction. Use a blower brush and cloth. If a unit containing these 
sensors is to be cleaned, first remove the sensors from the unit.
