yes it does. Im a tech and have been for years. Ive worked on the blackand white estudios but have been working on the Xerox for the past couple of years.
I have to be missing something. I have the tray cover removed. I have the back board panel removed. I have the color toner cart out and have the dv unit cover off, and the drum unit looks like its ready to slide out. I figure that the transfer belt and cleaning unit come out together on top. but cant figure out where it is released!!! What a design. act like you will never have to replace the transfer belt!!! Thanks for your help!!!Comment

Again its a stinker!! And not easy to describe by txting! Theres a release mechanism in the front of the machine behind a cover or two.. Your best bet is the service manual itself to describe it.. theres a release lever, a bracket that has to come out. A metal cover iirc.. Its been a while! Again my heart goes out to u! I never did like those boxes.. and then to change the belt... yeesh.. also the right door needs to be open too... Its a pain.. and a lot of work for a belt.
Regards!

worst design ever
I'll try to do this in a way that makes sense (if that's possible with this box).
First, the bridge unit must be removed (the unit that takes paper from fuser to finisher), then top cover must be removed. Also cover behind top cover (has a hole where the wires for the bridge unit come through) must be removed.
Have a shot (whiskey helps)
in the front of machine the transfer belt unit has a latch that lifts it. the latch usually has a screw locking it in place. remove said screw. don't move latch yet. first you have to remove screws holding belt assy in place. there are two blue screws to the right and above the drum unit (unless someone replaced blue screws with regular ones) and two hidden screws that are on long shafts and screw into rear frame of belt unit. You can see the hidden screws by looking into openings near the blue screws (they are in close proximity).
If you have all the screws out, the belt unit will lift when you turn the latch. Don't do that yet.
Have another shot of whiskey.
In the front of machine, there are 2 connectors that connect to the belt unit. Before you can disconnect them, you must take off the metal plate blocking them (it's got a spring loaded gizmo that you can loosen by sliding...to the left if I remember correctly). Also, above the rear of the belt unit is a spring loaded mechanism that you must turn 45 degrees clockwise. now you can turn latch and lift up belt unit.
Homestretch time. The cleaning unit must be removed. To do this, you will see a metal plate at front of cleaning unit with 3 screws. remove this plate. Slide cleaning mechanism towards front then lift to the left. there should be a metal bracket on rear frame (some techs remove this...I don't know why) that is designed to hold cleaning unit.
With the cleaning unit to the left, you can lift the belt assy out and do the rest of this thrilling job. Then have another shot.
If it makes you feel better, know that the Japanese engineer responsible for this design, offed himself to save face.
Good Luck.Comment

That is incorrect! I posted a direct link to the correct manual, YOU clicked on the wrong item and didn't check it before you paid. It is impossible for my site to send the wrong manual The mistake was on your end!

Gotta love the whiskey! Lol! Yeah its a pretty POOR design to say the least... not that the Estudio FC22-3100 series was a whole lot simpler in some regards! Man.. Yeah... Nuff said!

e-Studio 3511 Transfer Belt Replacement
i have the same problem a few months ago, when i first come contact with this e-studio 3511 but luckyly enough i manage to get the Service Manual.What audioimaging mension was correct, u need to dismantle the transfer belt cleaning unit before u can get the transfer belt unit out of the machine. Also there are 2 long screw which u must loosen, these are special screw, it reach from the front of the machine right to the back of the machine. Hopefully u can find these 2 screw.Comment

Yes. I did complete the job. I finally got the correct book. Although I had to buy another book, The book was not much help but nice to have, mostly your help is what got me through it. Those long screws are what got me! And when I got done the customer did a shot of whiskey with me! (NOT!) lol
Be careful when you order manuals from that place because when you type in the machine model number it will also show you books from an other machine and its all very small print (why? If wanted to see a manual for a 350 I would have put toshiba 350) and they will not give refunds for any reason - at all and seems to be pretty stiff necked too (Loosen up a little dude!)
But, on the flip side seems to be a good resource for the manuals so just use with caution. So see dude, I still gave you a plug so calm down.
Thanks copytechnet forum dude guys for your help! I have some tricks up my sleeve on a lot of models so one day I can return the favor.Comment
