How to Disassemble a HP 4700 Color Printer
The HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer is designed for quick installation and de-installation. Most of the machine’s assembly, except for the addition of accessories such as extra input trays and the stapler/stacker unit, is performed during the manufacturing process. As a result, you don’t need to spend much time assembling the machine when you start using it or disassembling the machine to install it elsewhere or to perform basic troubleshooting, repair or maintenance. You simply need to understand how certain parts fit together and remove them as needed.

Reach into the printer and pull out a toner cartridge. Place the cartridge in one of your black plastic bags to prevent exposure to light that can damage it. Then tape the bag shut. Repeat this process with the other cartridges and then set them aside. When you’re finished, perform maintenance such as cleaning or paper jam removal or transport your printer to a different location.
