CAUTION
Note the location of the individual module connectors in the housing before removing them.
This will ensure that they are reinstalled correctly after the repair to the terminals is complete.
Failure to position the individual connectors correctly will cause the printer to malfunction,
causing damage.
CAUTION
Use caution when forcing the housing body away from the module connector. Too much force
could cause damage to the housing body.
