The Kundendienst-Handbuch / Service Manual DMP 4000 is Schneider's service manual for the DMP 4000 wide-carriage dot-matrix printer, Ident-Nr. 33984, footer code HDS 60964/2500/16/87. It has 14 pages, with the parts lists in German and English side by side, and the scan has a text layer. Amstrad's combined manual covers the DMP4000 in an eight-page appendix; this manual is for the DMP 4000 alone and has its own electrical parts list.

The three fuses are all time-lag (T) types rated 250 V: T5 A, T3.15 A and T1 A. The DMP 3000 has two, T3.15 A and T315 mA.

The parts list itemises only two capacitors, C101 and C104, both 0.047 µF 250 V metallised film. The electrolytics are not listed; capacitor values are marked on the circuit diagram (pp. 6–7).
