HP use the same number for numerous models and the link for the printer is as follows:

To remove the top cover it would entail removing any screws on the top and the scanner assembly. Then removing the printer mechanism from the base. Foregoing instructions it can be a voyage of discovery. The secret is never force anything or remove a spring before checking what it is connected to. HP do not normally release MSG's for printers.
