Going to Do: -Our group will start disassembling our HP Phoosmart C6280 All-in-One Printer

Doing: -First we went on the computer and found the printer's manual in PDF format in order to help us identify the main parts of the printer. -Then we clipped off the two sided printing accessory which was attached to the printer. -Next we unscrewed the screws on the top of the printer with a T9 screwdriver. (Part #10 on Printer's manual) -Different parts of the printer's shell had different screws so we searched for a new screwdriver. The T9 screwdriver was not working on the bigger screws. -We then used a small flathead screwdriver to remove the control panel from the front of the printer. -Next we took pictures of the control panel from different angles that will be uploaded to Wikimedia. -The control panel was attached to the ink cartridge. -Then the ink cartridge dos front plastic cover was unclipped. -The ink cartridge door's side plastic was then unclipped using a screwdriver. -Next we unclipped the entire ink cartridge doo as well as pulled off the lid backing of the printer. -We then took pictures of the lid backing which will be uploaded to Wikimedia. -Then we pulled out the ink cartridge door entirely by pulling had on the cable that was attached to it. We then took pictures -Next we detached the scanner glass which was previously attached to the door using a screwdriver. -We broke it though, as we did not see the screw keeping it from coming off easily. We broke the plastic off the printer and the glass fell out(did not break.     -Finally we put our printer away in our assigned space. Rant:      -Still have to disassemble printer further on Wednesday(9/10/2014).      -We still have to find parts that are usable and identify them.      -Taking apart our printer is pretty fun and interesting.

Going to Do: -Finish disassembling our printer into smaller parts. -Then identify parts of the printer and see which ones will be useful for future projects.

Doing: -Fist we are going to use our T9 screwdriver to disassemble the control panel of the printer further. -We then took the LED screen out of the control panel. (cannot be broken down any further). We took all of the buttons off of the control panel as well. -We are breaking down the scanner part of the printer using an unidentifiable screwdriver and taking out three screws. Inside he scanner we have found a stepper motor. -We took off two more screws on the scanner and found 2 usable gears for future use. -Next we unscrewed 3 more screws on the lid backing of the printer to see what is inside. Nothing was inside, but we took pictures to upload to Wikimedia. -Next we unscrewed 8 screws on the mainframe of the printer and took pictures to identify it and upload to Wikimedia. -Then pulled out all 6 ink cartridges from their slots. -Next we are taking out the ink tray by unscrewing 4 screws using our unidentifiable screwdriver. -Next we discovered the area where the printer stores the ink. Pictures were taken. -Then we took apart the second pat of the scanner which was deeper inside the printer -We have fund some very useful parts in the scanner, which were put to the side.

Rant:-We found some very useful parts in this printer that we could possibly use for future projects. -We could have disassembled the printer further if we had more time and if 2 of our 4 assigned teammates actually showed up to help on this project. -This was a very fun and interesting project, I did not know a printer was so complicated and intricate. -I wonder if it would be possible to have put the printer back together successfully.
