Reinstalling self-tapping screws
To reinstall a self-tapping screw, complete the following steps:
1
Turn the screw to the left until it clicks, indicating the threads are
seated.
2
Turn the screw to the right to tighten.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the screws. If a self-tapping screw-hole becomes
stripped, repair of the screw-hole or replacement of the affected
assembly is required.
Required Tools
Phillips #2 screwdriver (6-inch shaft) with a magnetic tip
Small, flat-blade screwdriver
All screws used in field-replaceable printer components are Phillips
head screws that require a #2 size Phillips screwdriver. Figure 1
below shows the difference between a Phillips and a Posidriv
screwdriver. Note that the Phillips tip has more beveled surfaces.
