Service Today is a Parts Now! publication with a mission to serve as a technical resource for printer repair technicians.
A new course on multifunction printers (MFPs) highlights our newly released week of hands-on printer repair training classes to be held April 3-7, 2006. These courses, held at the Parts Now! training facility in Madison, WI, cover all aspects of laser printer repair for several models of HP printers. The new one-day MFP Fundamentals course gives technicians the knowledge to service both color and monochrome MFPs. This class also focuses on the scanner portion of the MFP and includes theory of operation, paper path, consumables and ADF maintenance kits. Also covered is use of the MFP for copy, scan and faxing applications, along with
menus, common break/fix information and trouble-shooting. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to service and repair most lower and midrange HP laser model MFPs. The Parts Now! training department will also lead one-day courses covering the HP LaserJet 2100/2200/2300 series, HP LaserJet 42xx/43xx series, and a two-day course on the HP Color LaserJet 46xx/55xx series. For hands-on training class descriptions or signup information, call (800) 886-6688 to speak with a Parts Now! account representative or visit Parts Now! online at www.partsnow.com. I

also lift up the gear on the swing plate assembly to verify tension (Figure 3). If there is no tension, the spring on the swing plate assembly is detached, missing or broken. If that is the case, it is time to install a new swing plate assembly, since the spring by itself is not available. If there is tension and the gears and fuser clips are not damaged, reinstall the fuser. If the paper jam or grinding noise subsides, then the fuser was not seated properly in the printer. If the problem still persists, continue trouble-shooting as recommended by the manual the swing plate assembly is not the culprit. If you do find damage on the fuser gear, dont assume that you can just replace the fuser and solve the problem. Its costly and embarrassing to install a new fuser in a customers printer, only to experience the same problems with that fuser due to one bad gear chewing up the other. If you see damage on the swing plate assembly gear, youll have to replace that also.
Playing Hard to Get The good thing about installing a new swing plate assembly is removing it from the printers frame is easy simply remove the three screws holding it in place. The hard part is all the parts you need to remove to get to it. As youll see in the following instructions, a good portion of the printer needs to be disassembled until you can finally get a screwdriver to the swing plate assembly. Its for this reason that we strongly encourage you to try reseating or exchanging the fuser first, as these options take much less effort. However, you may not have an extra known good fuser on hand, and since the fuser is considerably more expensive than the swing plate assembly, taking the extra time to install a new swing plate assembly may be worth it. Getting To The Swing Plate 1. The swing plate assembly is nestled deep inside the printer (Figure 3, red box) and requires a lot

of disassembly. Follow these steps to get to it. 2. The first step in removing the swing plate assembly is to remove the rear face-up tray, toner cartridge, fusing assembly, and the left, right and top covers. 3. Remove the formatter and its cage by removing
two screws (Figure 4, red arrows). 4. After you remove two more screws labeled M4 (Figure 5, red arrows), you should be able to slide the right tray guide (Figure 6) out by pushing in the plastic circle (Figure 5, yellow arrow).
Figure 5 - Remove the two screws labeled M4 (red arrows) and push the plastic circle (yellow arrow) to remove the right tray guide (Figure 6).
Figure 8 - The two white ribbon cables (being held) and three multi-colored cables (red boxes) must be removed from the DC controller.
5. Remove the switch rod (Figure 7). 6. The DC controller has several cables attached to it, but you will only be removing the two ribbon cables and the three plugs with multi-colored cables (Figure 8, red boxes). Slide these cables through the hole in the side of the printer
(Figure 9) and pull them from the other side so they hang loose in the inside of the printer (Figure 10). 7. Staying on the right side of the printer, find the four screws labeled M3 (Figure 11, arrows) and remove them.

Figure 10 - Pull the cables so they hang loose in the inside of the printer (right, three of the five cables shown).
Figure 12- Once the five screws labeled M3 (red arrows) are removed, the connector access cover can be removed (yellow box).
8. Now switch to the left side of the printer and locate the five screws labeled M3 (Figure 12, arrows) and remove them. Two of these screws hold on the connecter access cover, which you should remove at this time (Figure 12, yellow box).
9. Locate and unplug the two cables underneath the connector access cover that are connected to the power supply, just below the main fan (Figure 13, arrows). 10. You are now ready to pull out the power supply as shown in Figure 14. The power supply will

not slide out unless you lift it up slightly and pull back. 11. Remove the plastic power supply guide (Figure 15) and the plastic wire guide (Figure 16). 12. The toner cartridge guide is attached to the printers frame by a spring. Use a spring hook to detach the spring and remove the toner car-
tridge guide (Figure 17). 13. Finally, remove the white 23-tooth gear (Figure 18) and the three screws that hold the swing plate assembly in place (Figure 19, arrows). You can now remove the swing plate assembly. If youve followed these instructions, youll have a lot of parts strewn about your work area. To put everything back in, install a new spring guide assembly, then work through the steps in reverse. Even though this is a small and relatively cheap part, it can cause a big headache for you or your customers. Knowing how to replace it which should be a last resort should come in handy for you if youre working on the LaserJet 4200/4300 series. I Matt Barnum
