Required tools
Before servicing the printer, gather the following tools:
● Phillips #2 magnetized screwdriver (152 mm [6 inch] shaft)
● Small flat-blade screwdriver
● Small needle-nose pliers
● ESD strap
● Penlight (optional)
Note All components in the HP Color LaserJet 3500 and 3700 series printers use Phillips-head screws
that require a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Ensure that you have a Phillips screwdriver and not a Posidriv
screwdriver. Figure 6-1 (below) shows the difference between a Phillips and a Posidriv screwdriver.
Note that the Phillips tip has more beveled surfaces.

Types of screws
Table 6-1, below, describes the screws used in the printer and provides guidelines to help
determine where to use each type of screw. The screws can vary in length depending on the
thickness of the material being fastened.
Always note where each type of screw is located and replace each one into its original location.
