Removing the Case from LBP6000 series printers.

Complete Printer

Removing the case is necessary to get at the fuser and electronics. Its a fairly major exercise on these small printers.

Note that the case may be / should be marked "No user serviceable parts inside. Authorised service personnel only". Fatal voltages and a laser scanner that could damage human sight are exposed.

This page is intended to help service technicians and end-of-life disposal. A much fuller treatment can be found in Canon's Service Manual LBP6000/6018/3010/3100/3150 Series Sep 8 2010.

The top has to be removed before the sides. It is held on three sides by plastic claws which engage with hooks on the back and sides. Push a mid-sized flat-blade screwdriver under the top cover at the rear to disengage one claw, hold the plastic up, push it under the other side. The top should now push up and forward. At the front it is held by hooks and once they are off the top will lift clear.

The side covers are held by a screw at the rear right and left. A bit of pressure from a flat-bade screwdriver will then disengage hooks at the rear, top and bottom and the side panels then rotate forward on the front hooks until they disengage.
