Connector Stiffening Clips
Later model printers have connector stiffening clips on CMX board connectors
P106 and P107. For earlier models, the clips are available in a field kit. The
clips stiffen connectors P106 and P107 and help prevent accidental removal
of wires when the connector shells are disconnected from the CMX board.
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 152).
2. Cabinet Model: Remove the paper guide assembly (page 229).
Pedestal Model: Remove the top cover assembly (page 204).
3. Unsnap the front (open side) of the clip from the connector shell, release
the back of the clip from the lip of connector shell P107, and work the
stiffening clip off the cable bundle. (See Figure 31.)
4. Repeat step 3 for the P106 connector.
5. Cabinet Model: Install the paper guide assembly (page 229).
Pedestal Model: Install the top cover assembly (page 204).
6. Return the printer to normal operation (page 153).
