    6 January 1990 3. DRUM PROCESSES 1. Charge In the dark the charge corona unit applies a negative charge to the drum. The grid plate ensures the charge is applied uniformly. The charge remains on the surface of the drum because the photoconductive drum has a high electrical resistance in the dark.
  • Page 8 6 January 1990 3. Development The magnetic developer brush on the development roller comes in contact with the latent image on the drum surface. Toner particles are electrostatically attracted to the negatively charged latent image areas. 4. Pre-Transfer Lamp The pre-transfer lamp illuminates the drum prior to image transfer. This reduces the attraction between the toner and the drum, thus making image transfer easier.

  • Page 27 6 January 1990 3. EXPOSURE 3.1 OVERVIEW Light from the exposure lamp [A] reflects off the original and through the fiber optics [B] to the OPC drum [C]. During exposure, the original moves across the exposure glass at the same speed as the drum’s peripheral velocity. The platen roller [D] presses the original [E] flat against the exposure glass [F] just above the fiber optic array.
  • Page 28: Original Feed

    6 January 1990 3.2 ORIGINAL FEED 3.2.1 Basic Operation When the original is inserted on the original table [A], it activates the original set detector [B]. The main motor then turns on. Two seconds later the original feed clutch turns on to start turning the front original feed rollers [C], rear original feed rollers [D], and original registration rollers [E].
  • Page 29 6 January 1990 3.2.2 Drive Mechanism Drive power from the main motor is provided to the original transport mechanism from the original drive pulley through original drive belt 2 [A]. When the original drive clutch [B] is energized, original drive belt 3 [C] starts turning the front original feed rollers and the original registration rollers.
  • Page 30 6 January 1990 3.3 ORIGINAL STOPPER MECHANISM Originals should not be inserted during a copy cycle.

  • Page 38 6 January 1990 4. DEVELOPMENT 4.1 OVERVIEW When the main motor turns on, the paddle roller [A] and development roller [B] start turning. The paddle roller picks up developer in its paddles and transports it to the development roller. Internal permanent magnets in the development roller attract the developer to the development roller sleeve.
  • Page 39: Drive Mechanism

    6 January 1990 4.2 DRIVE MECHANISM To reduce load on the main motor, the development unit uses a separate drive motor [A]. The development drive pulley turns the development drive belt [B] which turns the development drive gear [C]. The development drive gear turns the development roller gear [D] and the paddle roller gear [E].
  • Page 40: Cross Mixing

    6 January 1990 4.3 CROSS MIXING "Crossmixing" keeps the toner and carrier evenly mixed in the developer and evenly distributes the developer within the development unit. Crossmixing also agitates the developer to generate the necessary triboelectric charge on the toner and carrier particles. The arrows in the above illustration show the developer movement directions within the machine.

It has three basic functions. First, it controls the upper and lower limits of toner density.
  • Page 45: Development Bias

    6 January 1990 4.5 DEVELOPMENT BIAS 4.5.1 Basic Concept When the drum is exposed, most of the negative charge is eliminated from the areas where light strikes the drum. This leaves a negative charge pattern corresponding to the dark areas of the original. After exposure however, a small residual charge of about --100 volts (for white paper) remains in the exposed areas.

  • Page 47 6 January 1990 4.6 IMAGE DENSITY SENSOR BIAS The ID sensor bias is similar to the development bias; however, it is applied only when developing the ID sensor pattern. Basically, the ID sensor bias is fixed. The normal ID bias level is --240 volts, but it can be changed using service program #18.
  • Page 48: Toner Supply

    6 January 1990 4.7 TONER SUPPLY To allow a compact design, the toner supply mechanism is built into the toner cartridge. An agitator [A] in the toner cartridge turns when the toner supply solenoid is on (toner supply spring clutch engaged). As the agitator rotates, mylar strips [B] on the ends of the agitator force toner through small holes (0.5 mm) in a plastic strip [C] along one side of the toner cartridge.

    6 January 1990 5. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION 5.1 PRE-TRANSFER LAMP (PTL) After the latent image is developed but before the image is transferred to the copy paper, the drum surface is illuminated by the pre-transfer lamp [A]. This illumination reduces the negative potential on the drum surface.
  • Page 50: Pick-Off Mechanism

    6 January 1990 5.4 PICK-OFF MECHANISM The pick-off pawl solenoid [A] is energized 12 pulses after the registration solenoid turns on to feed the copy paper to the drum. The pick-off lever [B] then rotates clockwise and pushes up the pawl holder [C]. This releases the two pick-off pawls [D], allowing them to rotate against the drum.

  • Page 56: Paper Feed And Registration

    6 January 1990 8. PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION 8.1 OVERVIEW In this copier, paper is fed either manually or by the auto sheet feeder (option). For manual feed, the copy paper is inserted until it contacts the manual feed rollers [A]. At that time the paper turns on the 1st feed detector [B], which causes the main motor to turn on.
  • Page 57: Drive Mechanism

    6 January 1990 8.2 DRIVE MECHANISM Drive power from the main motor is provided to the paper feed and registration drive mechanism from feed/fusing drive belt 2 [A] through the manual feed/registration sprocket [B]. When the manual feed solenoid [C] is energized, the paper feed drive chain [D] drives the manual feed roller [E].
  • Page 58: Paper Transport

    6 January 1990 9. PAPER TRANSPORT After separation from the drum, the copy paper rides on the transport belts [A] and transport rollers [B] to the fusing unit. Airflow directly from the vacuum fan [C] holds the paper firmly against the belts so that there is enough friction between the paper and the belts for smooth transportation of the paper.
  • Page 59: Fusing And Paper Exit

    6 January 1990 10. FUSING AND PAPER EXIT 10.1 OVERVIEW Two rollers fuse the image to the copy paper by applying heat and pressure. The hot roller [A] is made of carbon-teflon and the pressure roller [B] is made of silicone rubber. Pressure is constantly applied by the pressure levers at the ends of the fusing unit.
  • Page 60 6 January 1990 The hot roller strippers [F] separate the copy from the hot roller and direct it to the fusing exit rollers [G]. After the fusing exit rollers, the exit gate [H] directs the copy to either the upper or lower exit rollers [I and J]. When the exit gate solenoid is on, the exit gate directs the copy paper down through the lower copy exit path.
  • Page 61 6 January 1990 10.2 DRIVE MECHANISM 10.2.1 Fusing Drive The hot roller is turned by the fusing drive chain as shown. The pressure roller is friction driven by the hot roller. The fusing rollers turn constantly when the main motor [A] is on, driven via the gears [B], through feed/fusing drive belts 1 [C] and 2 [D], the sprockets [E] and the fusing drive chain [F], to the hot roller sprocket [G].
  • Page 62 6 January 1990 10.2.2 Exit Roller Drive The upper [A] and lower [B] exit rollers are driven by the main motor [C] via a set of gears [D]. Finally, the exit roller drive chain [E] drives the exit rollers through a sprocket as shown above. The exit rollers turn constantly when the main motor is on.
