4.3 How to Remove / Re-install the Side Access Doors
Approximate time to remove: 5 minutes plus any sub-procedures
Approximate time to re-install: 5 minutes plus any sub-procedures
The side access doors secure the control electronics (embedded PC, power supply, power controller, and
main logic board) inside the device:

The right side access door gives easy access to the embedded PC’s connectors, including Ethernet
and USB ports (for example, to plug in a keyboard/mouse or USB thumb drive), and also provides
access to examine or replace the Main Logic Board (MLB).

The left side access door provides access to the power supply and the power controller board
(sometimes referred to as the “Green controller”). It is less common to need to open the left side
access door.

To open the side access doors, follow these steps:
1) Prepare the device for replacing parts by following the steps in section 4.1 How to Prepare the
Device for Removing / Re-installing Modules.
2) Move the hopper transport to the front of the device near the manual feed slot (see section 2.8 How to
Safely Move Transports By Hand). This helps avoid damaging the hopper transport ribbon cable
when removing the right rear thumb screw.
3) If you are removing the left access door, lift the left side of the EC2000 and prop up the two left
rubber feet on a card weight atop a soft cloth or piece of cardboard. Be sure card weights do not stick
out past the rubber feet toward the left edge of the device. Alternatively, you may move the EC2000
to the edge of the work surface so the left side of the device hangs 1” over the edge. This will make it
easier to remove the left access door and will protect the surface you are working on.

4) Open the top access door (see section 2.7 How to Open the Top Access Door).
5) Using a flashlight, locate the two thumb screws in the base plate on the side you want to open. These
screws lock into holes on the top of the side access door and hold it in place.
