  • Page 3 PREFACE This publication is a Service Manual covering the specifications, construction, theory of operation, and maintenance of the Brother facsimile equipment. It includes information required for field troubleshooting and repair--disassembly, reassembly, and lubrication--so that service personnel will be able to understand equipment function, to rapidly repair the equipment and order any necessary spare parts.
  • Page 4: Safety Information

    SAFETY INFORMATION Laser Safety (110-120V Model only) This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

    MECHANISMS The facsimile equipment is classified into the following mechanisms: n SCANNER MECHANISM - Document feeding and ejecting mechanism - Document scanning mechanism n LASER PRINTING MECHANISM - Paper pulling-in, registration, feeding, and ejecting mechanisms - Print process mechanism (consisting of charging, exposing, developing, transferring, and erasing processes) - Heat-fixing mechanism...
  • Page 25: Scanner Mechanism

    Scanner Mechanism 2.1.1 Document feeding and ejecting mechanism This mechanism consists of the document stacker, automatic document feeder (ADF), document ejection roller ASSY, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.3.) If the operator sets documents on the document stacker and starts the scanning operation, the scanner motor rotates so that the ADF (which consists of the separation roller and ADF parts) feeds those documents into the equipment, starting from the bottom sheet to the top, page by page.

  • Page 27 Paper pulling-in and registration mechanism The paper pulling-in and registration mechanism consists of the pull-in roller gear (incorporated in the multi-purpose sheet feeder), planetary gear system, paper feed solenoid, solenoid lever, clutch release lever, and registration sensor. (For the details about the sensor, refer to Section 2.3.) If the main motor rotates clockwise, the rotation is transmitted to the intermediate gear of the planetary gear system.
  • Page 28: Print Process Mechanism

    2.2.2 Print process mechanism The print process unit works with laser beam, electrical charges, and toner. The graph below shows the transition of electrical charge on the surface of the laser-sensitive drum through the five processes: charging, exposing, developing, transferring, and erasing processes. III - 6...
  • Page 29: Charging Process

    (1) Charging process The high-voltage power supply applies DC bias to the corona wire to generate ion on the grid. The ion uniformly charges the surface of the laser-sensitive drum to approx. 1000V which is kept by the varister grounding the grid to the frame. (2) Exposing process When the laser-sensitive drum holds a positive electrical charge, the laser beam issued from the laser unit scans the drum according to the print image to expose the drum surface for neutralizing...
  • Page 30: Developing Process

    (3) Developing process The developing process develops an electrostatic latent image formed on the drum in the exposing process, into a toner image. The developer roller attracts the toner particles fed from the toner cartridge by the toner supply roller, and then conveys them to the contact section with the laser-sensitive drum On the contact section between the developer roller and drum, the positive toner particles stick to the neutralized spots on the drum according to the principles of attraction and repulsion, transforming a latent image into a toner image.

    Printout of Scanning Compensation Data Function The equipment prints out the white and black level data for scanning compensation. Operating Procedure Do not start this function merely after powering on the equipment but start it after carrying out a sequence of scanning operation. Unless the equipment has carried out any scanning operation, this function cannot print out correct scanning compensation data.
