Week0 Preferences
While researching the HP Deskjet 940c to find instructions on how to take it apart, I found two service manuals here and here as well as a support forum topic on disassembling the printer for cleaning at Tom's Hardware. I hoped to find more thorough diagrams or instructions for taking the printer's covers off, but for now I will use the manuals and forum as guides.

Week1 Narrative
This week I plan to physically take the printer apart, after I look at reference documents thoroughly to avoid breaking anything on the printer.

I removed some of the plastic covers on the printer to be able to work with the mechanisms inside. Many pieces required a torx screwdriver to remove them, and finding the right size screwdriver was a bit of a challenge. Afterwards, I plugged in the printer and tested it to make sure it still worked.

I had hoped to finish disassembling the printer this week, but I had a later start than expected due to the amount of time spent looking for tutorials and manuals.

Week2 Narrative
I helped to separate the printer head and ink tray from the rest of the assembly. In order to fully remove the pieces, I had to push some plastic tabs in with a screwdriver and disconnect wires temporarily to feed them through holes, taking note of where the wires go so I could plug them back in correctly. After making sure the printer still worked, I arranged the parts on a piece of plywood to get ready to screw them down. Unfortunately, the paper tray will likely not be running for this project because it requires a job sent to the printer from a computer, and the installation drivers are no longer available.

The plywood mounted display is near completion at the end of the 9/9 class.

On 9/11, made a group presentation to the class about what was working and what wasn't, and asked for ideas on how to secure the loose parts to the plywood.
