Removing the Outer Case of Your HP Officejet Printer: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of dealing with a faulty printer? Look no further! In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of removing the outer case of your HP Officejet printer. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think!

Preparation is Key

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools: a T-10 Torx screwdriver and a spudger. You’ll also need to remove the printer from the optional second paper tray. Simply pull out the paper tray from the front and the duplexer from the rear.

Detaching the Control Panel

Hold up the control panel with one hand, and with the other, reach underneath it and pull firmly downward on the curved support to detach it from the display.

Removing the Display Assembly

Lift the display further up, reach behind the brown plastic cover, and pull it forwards to release it. Rest the machine on its rear panel, so you can access the cable. Lift up the brown clamp, and pull out the cable.

Disconnecting Cables

Disconnect the scanner flatflex, sheet feeder, and LED cables (marked in red). Remove the earth strap (marked in yellow). No other cables need to be removed at this time.

Removing the Scanner Assembly

Remove the remaining screws around the top of the printer. Lift the scanner assembly away from the printer. If you need to detach the display, lay the scanner assembly upside down, lower the display assembly, push it to the right, and then adjust the angle of the display until it drops away from the scanner.

Removing the Rear Panel

Depress the two clips at the rear of the output tray, and pull the tray forward. Rest the printer on its rear panel, depress the two clips under the tray, and slide the white support clear of the tray. Pull the output tray clear.

Final Steps

Remove the single silver screw (pictured). Remove the two screws from the rear left-hand side (right-hand when viewed from the front). Release the one clip on the inside front of the panel. Release the two clips on the underside of the printer. Pull outwards on the front to release a hidden clip. Rotate the panel outwards until the clips on the rear of the panel detach.
