Connector Shells
Some of the printer cable connectors are grouped inside connector shells.
The procedure below explains how to remove and install cable assemblies
from any connector shell in the printer.
NOTE: There is also a diagram of the P106 / P107 connector shells on the
plastic cover over the power supply. Additionally, later model printers
have stiffening clips attached to connectors P106 and P107. (See
page 198.)
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 152).
2. Cabinet Model: Remove the paper guide assembly (page 229).
Pedestal Model: Remove the top cover assembly (page 204).
NOTE: Later models have stiffening clips on connectors P106 and P107.
3. On later model printers, remove the stiffening clip (page 198).
4. Disconnect the cable connector shell containing the cable assembly that
will be replaced.
5. Pull the side of the connector shell outward and gently pull the cable
connector upward. (See Figure 30.) Notice that two-wire connectors are
grouped across from two-wire connectors in a connector shell. Four-wire
connectors are grouped across from four-wire connectors in a connector
shell.
6. Disengage the lock tab(s) on the cable connector from the slots in the
side of the connector shell.
7. Remove the cable connector from the connector shell. (Remove only the
cable connector for the cable you are replacing; leave the rest in the
shell.)
