Cooling system for a printer

A manifold, comprising:

• a channel section in fluid flow communication with a fan cavity, the channel section including:
• a rear channel section that defines an interior channel terminating in a first open end, the first open end being configured for insertion within a fuser chamber fan receptacle;
• an intermediate tapered section defining a tapered interior channel that establishes fluid flow communication between the interior channel and the fan cavity;
• and a plate ring defining an inward-facing surface and an arcuate protrusion extending from the inward-facing surface;
• wherein the fan cavity is configured to capture a fan against the channel section, wherein the manifold is configured for engagement with a panel positioned along a housing of an electronic device, wherein the panel includes a manifold port comprising:
• a manifold receptacle configured to receive the first open end of the rear channel section;
• and an arcuate slot configured to receive the arcuate protrusion of the plate ring.

A method, comprising:

• forming a panel of an adapted cooling system including a plurality of vent apertures and a manifold port, the manifold port comprising a manifold receptacle configured to receive a first open end of a rear channel section;
• and an arcuate slot configured to receive an arcuate protrusion of a plate ring, the panel configured for installment along a housing of an electronic device;
• forming a channel section of a manifold with a tapered interior configured for coupling with the manifold port of the panel and a fan;
• and forming a fan cover that defines a fan cavity defining an open section, a forward plate defined opposite to the open section and defining a plurality of fan apertures, and a sidewall section defined therebetween, the open section being configured for coupling with the channel section of the manifold.
