Hp Officejet Printer Outer Case Removal Tutorial
How to Remove the Outer Case of Your HP Officejet Printer
Removing the outer case of your HP Officejet printer can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right tools and a bit of patience, you can do it yourself. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of removing the outer case of your HP Officejet printer. Please note that this tutorial is specific to the HP Officejet model, so if you have a different model, the steps may vary.
Before you start, make sure you have the following tools:
- A T-10 Torx screwdriver
- A spudger
- A plastic spudger
Now, let’s get started!
Step 1: Remove the Printer from the Optional Second Paper Tray
Pull out the paper tray from the front of the printer, and the duplexer from the rear. This will give you access to the screws that hold the outer case in place.
Removing the print head (see the HP user guide) may also reduce the chance of ink leakage while working on the printer.
Step 2: Detach the Control Panel
Hold up the control panel with one hand, reach underneath it with the other, and pull firmly downward on the curved support to detach it from the display.
Lifting the display further up, reach behind the brown plastic cover, and pull it forwards to release it.
Step 3: Remove the Screws Beneath the Display
Using a T-10 Torx screwdriver, undo the two screws beneath the display.
The display remains attached to the scanner assembly for now. If you need to detach it from the scanner – for instance, to operate the printer while it is open – you can detach it once the scanner assembly is removed.
Step 4: Remove the Remaining Screws Around the Top of the Printer
Remove the remaining screws around the top of the printer. This will give you access to the outer case.
Step 5: Lift the Scanner Assembly Away from the Printer
Lift the scanner assembly away from the printer. This will give you access to the outer case.
Step 6: Remove the Outer Case
Using a plastic spudger, carefully pry the outer case away from the printer. Start at the top and work your way down.
Be careful not to damage any of the internal components.
