Epson WP-4540 Front Door Removal for Print Head Cleaning

Question:

I am using your video to clean the print head of my Epson WP-4540, and at the 5:18 mark, I see you're taking off the front door, but the video doesn't show how to remove it on the left-hand side. It goes too low to camera — and we're stuck. And we've removed screws from the cartridge compartment and the right-hand side, but we aren't sure how to get the right side off now that we can lift the door. Can you help us?

Answer:

Many thanks for clicking on the video and asking such a thorough question! Apologies for the slightly obnoxious camera angle during that video segment; thank you for your patience. After removing the screws from the cartridge compartment (and the one on the right-hand side), the next task for removing the front door on the Epson WP-4540 was to find a small plastic latch or tab along the left side of the door. This latch needs to be pressed or pried gently most often. Use a thin flathead screwdriver (a plastic spudger will be less damaging to the plastic) to push the latch inward gently. After applying light pressure, you can lift the front door gently. It's somewhat awkward, so you might need to jiggle it while pushing the latch down. And be sure to look for hidden clips that might hold the bottom of the door in place at the seams.
