Introduction
This printer has a scanner cover that pivots to gain access to the printer. The cover has a curved plastic support arm that must be gently pried off the scanner part in order to expose an otherwise inaccessible screw.
There are also three other hidden screws which must be removed prior to disassembly of your printer.
