pressure (Figure l-5).

Turn the printer upside down on a soft surface. With a Phillips-head screwdriv-
er, completely loosen (but don’t remove) all 4 corner screws as shown in Figure
l-6. Place tape over the 4 holes so the screws won’t fall out when we tip the
printer right-side up again.

not to pull the wires on the right-hand
