This small pcb is the antenna for the WiFi. Using a Screwdriver as shown on bottom of printer, gently pop the Right Side Cover off, but DO NOT pull it away from the printer because there is a wire going from the circuit board to a small pcb mounted on the inside of the cover. Do NOT try to completely remove the cover at this time! Place the printer left side down, put a screwdriver blade under the edge of the cover between the embossed arrows on rear of the panel (photo), then pop the clips out of the slots. This is the side with the Operator Panel on top. Remove the Front Paper Tray by wedging a screwdriver at the pivot between the tray and Front Panel. Use tape to protect so chips don't drop into printer. This is some sort of security screw, and I have nothing that fits it, so I used a 1mm carbide mill in a Dremel to mill a rough slot in the head of the screw, then used a small screwdriver to remove it. Remove screw located under black and white warning label on the top right side, just in front of the yellow warning label. When you remove screws, but sure to note which screw came from where so that you can replace them correctly when you reassemble the printer. If you run into trouble, look at the photos!

Unfortunately, there seems to be no equivalent Service Manual for the Pantum 2502W, so I have included a lot more photos and descriptive text. In my E260 Instructables I provided a comprehensive Service Manual that detailed the removal and replacement of most of the key components of the printer. If you have any questions, please contact me directly at are now going to take the printer apart a bit (actually quite a bit) and remove a bunch of parts we don't need. This Instructable details the conversion of the Pantum 2502W for Direct Laser Printing. The Pantum is also quite compact at 13.2 x 8.6 x 7 inches, and weighs in at just about 10 pounds, compared to about 30 pounds for the E260. The Pantum 2502W is a complete laser printer, including toner, for just $25 USD!! I just ordered and received two of these little printers, shipping included, no tax (!) for $24.99 USD each from Newegg, Last week I splurged and spent $29.99 for one at MicroCenter.
When you add in another $30-$50 for parts, the project starts to get expensive, especially if this is a hobby rather than a business.
Since these are used printers, usually sold without Toner or Drum, the real cost escalates to more like $175 USD. While I have purchase several E260s for $45 USD, including shipping, on eBay, they usuallyare more like $70-$90 USD. I call this process DLP for Direct Laser Printing.Ī problem some of you have had in duplicating this project is sourcing E260s. Once printed and "fixed" to the copper by acetone vapor, the toner acts as a resist during the normal etching process, producing a finely detailed printed circuit board (PCB).

Many of you have been following my series of Instructables on repurposing a Lexmark E260 laser printer to print toner directly on copperclad boards.
