All components in the HP Color LaserJet 5500 series printer 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. Phillips and Posidriv screwdriver comparison (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. Types of screws 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.
