Lexmark Z82 Assembly
For the assembly of the Lexmark Z82 all-in-one printer, this page will go through a step by step assembly process. If a larger view of the picture is wanted, click on the picture and it will take you to another page where the picture is enlarged. In some cases labeling was not used because it took too much away from picture, but what happened was explained in the extra documentation. For tools, unless specified, a class two phillips head screw driver was used (clockwise to put back in). There were little to no challenges faced due to parts going in easier than expected, and only needing a portion of the tools stated in our initial analysis. Below is a scale to rate how difficult it was to put back each part along with the approximate effort needed to do the task. The scale ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being a very simple step which requires little time (a few minutes) and no hard work to accomplish, and 5 being a step which was very difficult to complete and required the most time (more than 10 minutes) to finish without completely destroying the part or parts that are trying to be put back or attached.
| Scale number | Things that were done | Effort needed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nothing was done but will lead to another step | Very little to no effort |
| 2 | Screw(s) taken out | Little effort |
| 3 | Clip(s) taken out | Slightly difficult, moderate effort |
| 4 | Combination with screw(s) and clip(s) | Moderately difficult, requires extra time and effort |
| 5 | One of the above steps along with extra force needed | Difficult, Requires a substantial amount of force and effort. May require more than one person |
