11) You will gain access to the rollers through the empty paper tray slots (three rollers per tray).

12) To remove the rollers from the shafts: pinch the tab on the end of each roller, and then slide it off of the shaft. The rollers are as shown: A) pickup roller (Type 1); B) feed roller (Type 2); and C) separation roller (Type 2). CAUTION: Do not remove the black spacer from behind the separation roller. If the black spacer comes off, carefully insert it metal edge first onto the shaft.

16) To replace the Type 2 rollers in Tray 4 (2000-sheet Input Tray): Open the tray, then remove any paper currently loaded in the tray. WARNING!: To avoid injury, the paper must be removed before Tray 4 is pulled from the printer.

17) CAUTION: Tray 4 could be damaged if it is dropped. Use both hands when removing the tray from the printer. Pull Tray 4 out until it stops. Locate the blue release buttons that are on both sides of the tray, and then slide the buttons toward the front of the tray. Pull the tray away from the printer.

19) Pinch the tab on the end of each roller, and then slide the roller off of the shaft.

20) Locate three Type 2 rollers contained in your kit.

21) Slide the new rollers onto each shaft until they lock into place. Note: You do not need to slide the blue shield back over the roller. It will return to position when Tray 4 is closed.

22) Using both hands to grasp the sides of the tray, reinstall Tray 4. Replace the paper, if desired.

23) To replace the fuser assembly: a) If a paper-handling output accessory is installed, reposition it so that the left door of the printer is fully accessible. b) Open the left door. Note: If a face-up bin is installed, it is not necessary to remove it to complete this procedure.

24) If a duplex printing accessory is installed, remove it by pushing downward on the green tab and sliding the accessory out. Otherwise, proceed to step 25.

25) Locate the small blue levers on each side of the fuser assembly and rotate them toward the center as shown.

26) Lift up on the finger handle slightly and pull the assembly away from the printer until it stops.

27) Grasp the blue handle on the top of the fuser assembly with one hand. Place the other hand on the finger handle. Tilt the fuser assembly downward, then pull up slightly to remove it from the printer.

29) Align the fuser assembly with the bars on each side of the opening. Lift up slightly, and slide the fuser assembly firmly into the printer.

30) Once you are sure the fuser assembly is in place, rotate the blue levers away from the center as shown to lock the fuser assembly in place. Repeat the previous step if the blue levers do not rotate.

31) Avoid moving the blue, T-shaped envelope levers inside the printer. Note: If the envelope levers are moved to the top position, toner may not adhere correctly to the paper when you resume printing.
