Removing and Re-installing

the Tray Assembly

When you are installing the next four printer options (memory,
optional interface, Centronics to Dataproducts conversion, and inter-
nal hard disk drive), the internal tray assembly must be accessed first.
Use the following instructions to remove the tray assembly from the
printer and to reinstall the tray assembly once the printer option has
been installed. A small-point Phillips screwdriver is needed for this
procedure.

O Caution: It's very important to protect the printer tray assembly from

electrostatic damage while performing this task.

If an anti-static wrist strap is provided in your printer option kit, attach

one end of it to your wrist and the other end to any convenient electrical

ground (for example, the bare metal chassis of equipment, as on the back of

a computer, that is plugged in but turned off). Never attach the wrist

strap to any piece of equipment with an electrical current present. Turn off

all power switches first. Plastic, rubber, wood, painted metal surfaces, and

telephones are not acceptable grounding points. The printer isn't an

acceptable grounding point either because it must be unplugged before you

perform this task.

If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap, discharge your body's static

electric charge by touching a grounded surface before you handle any printer

boards or components and before removing the tray assembly cover.

Redischarge your body each time after walking around and before touching

the printer tray assembly again. Handle the tray carefully, and try to handle

it by the edges only.
