• We strongly recommend you have one of the printer models covered as there will be hands on labs in the training and a teardown section.
• An example of printer selection for the LaserJet 4200/4250/4300/4350 course is to get a LaserJet 4200 unit which will provide enough hands on experience for all the models.

• Tools are also required for the maintenance kit and tear down portion. You should be able to do most all of the training on the printers using these tools:
- #2 Phillips Screwdriver
- #1 Phillips Screwdriver
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Push/Pull Spring Hook
- Flash Light
- ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) kit

• You can take the training without a printer but we strongly recommend taking the training with one of the models covered. The presentations have labs that students step through, including menus and teardown. If you absolutely can’t get a printer, taking the training without one is better than not doing the training at all.
