Roller tabs while repositioning the right side. Rock the shaft back and forth until the
Pickup Roller and the Idler Roller tabs are correctly reinstalled.
NoteIt is important that the Pickup Roller is placed back in with the two Idler Roller tabs
up, so that they fit into the underside of the metal chassis behind the Laser/Scanner
assembly (Figure 6-25).

							Transfer Roller Guide & Transfer Roller
1Remove the Printer Covers, Pickup Roller Assembly (Figures 6-23 through 6-25),
and Paper Feed Frame (Figures 6-26 through 6-29).

each end of the Transfer Roller guide. Using a small, flathead screwdriver, carefully
pry each tab outward to release it (Figure 6-30).

WARNING!Do not touch the Transfer Roller or otherwise allow it to be contaminated.
5Working from the front of the printer, gently pry the gear side of the Transfer Roller
out first, then slide the other side out of its socket.

Transfer Roller Guide. Upon reinstallation with these models, the small metal
spring should rest under the Transfer Roller Guide.

							Kick Plate
CautionBe careful working with the Kick Plate and Separation Pad. The spring underneath
the Kick Plate may stay attached to the Kick Plate, but it is also likely to spring
away from the Kick Plate. Place the spring aside for Separation Plate disassembly.
1Remove the Printer Covers and the Pickup Roller Assembly (Figures 6-23 and
6-24).
2Press the Separation Pad (Figure 6-31). Allow the Kick Plate to pivot upward (a
spring underneath will push it up). Lift the Kick Plate off its mounting pins.

							To reinstall
If the spring on the Kick Plate doesn’t stay on the Kick Plate, replace the spring,
making certain the diameter of the spring surrounds two lower pins on the Kick
Plate and rests inside the third pin. Use needlenose pliers to place the spring
correctly. (See Figure 6-32.)
Kick Plate Spring Replacement
While rotating the Kick Plate into place, guide the other end of the spring onto the
silver grounding plate located on the Paper Feed Frame.
