Primary Charging Roller Voltage Generation When the pickup command is sent from the interface controller, the INITIAL ROTATION period (INTR) starts, and the PRIMARY HIGH VOLTAGE (AC) DRIVE signal (PRACC) is input to the primary high-voltage circuit via the power operational amplifier.
  • Page 31 CHAPTER 2 D. Low-Voltage Power Supply Circuit 1. Outline The AC voltage input from the inlet is converted into the DC voltage in the rectification circuit, transformer, and power supply circuits. Then, the DC voltage is supplied to the printer as +24VDC, +5VDC, and +3.3VDC. When the cartridge door is opened, the door switch (SW301) is turned OFF.

  • Page 32: Protective Function

    CHAPTER 2 2. Protective Function The power supply circuits of the +24VDC and +5VDC contain overcurrent and overvoltage protective functions. These protective functions automatically shut off the output voltage in order to protect the circuits, when an overcurrent or overvoltage condition occurs due to the troubles such as a short circuit on the loads. When the protective functions are activated and no DC voltage is output from the power supply circuits, it is necessary to turn OFF the power, rectify the troubles on the loads, and then turn ON the power again.

  • Page 33: E. Video Interface

    CHAPTER 2 E. Video Interface 1. Outline Unlike the conventional video interface, which uses an exclusive line for each of the signals exchanged between the interface controller and engine controller, this printer uses command status. This section describes the types of the interface signals used between the engine controller and interface controller, and gives information on the sequence of the printer operations.
  • Page 34 CHAPTER 2 2. Operation When the power is switched ON, the printer enters the WAIT period. When the printer exits the WAIT period and is ready to operate, the engine controller sends ready status to the interface controller to notify that it is ready to print. On receiving the ready status, the interface controller sends a pickup command to the engine controller.

  • Page 42: Image Formation System

    CHAPTER 2 IV. IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM A. Outline The image formation system is the central hub of the printer, and consists of the photosensitive drum, developing unit, charging roller, etc. When receiving a pickup command from the interface controller, the engine controller drives the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum, developing cylinder, primary charging roller, and transfer charging roller.

  • Page 45 CHAPTER 2 Step 1: Primary charging Primary charging roller AC bias Photosensitive drum DC bias Figure 2-4-6 For preparation of latent image formation, a uniform negative potential is applied to the photosensitive drum surface. Primary charging of this printer is performed by the method that directly charges the photosensitive drum. The primary charging roller consists of semiconductive rubber.
  • Page 46 CHAPTER 2 2. Developing Stage Toner is applied to the electrostatic latent image on photosensitive drum surface to form a visible image. This printer performs the toner projection development with a single-component toner. Step 3: Development Stirrer Blade Photosensitive drum AC bias Developing cylinder DC bias...
  • Page 47 CHAPTER 2 An AC bias is applied to the developing cylinder to help project the toner particles to the drum surface and improve the contrast of the printed image. The center voltage of the AC bias (1460 Vp-p) varies with the developing DC bias. This printer changes the developing DC bias value according to the IMAGE DENSITY DATA signal sent from the interface controller.

  • Page 48: Fixing Stage

    CHAPTER 2 4. Fixing Stage As the toner image transferred onto the paper in the transfer stage is held to the paper only by the static electricity, even a light touch will smear the image. The toner particles are fused to the paper to make a permanent image by applying pressure and heat to the paper and toner.
  • Page 49 CHAPTER 2 5. Photosensitive Drum Cleaning Stage At the photosensitive drum cleaning stage, the photosensitive drum surface is cleaned in preparation for the next print operation. Step 7: Photosensitive Drum Cleaning Cleaner container Cleaning blade Photosensitive drum Sweeper strip Figure 2-4-13 Prior to the next printing, the residual toner on the drum surface is scraped away by the cleaning blade to clean the drum surface.

  • Page 50: Pickup/Feed System

    CHAPTER 2 V. PICKUP/FEED SYSTEM A. Outline The printer is equipped with two pickup sources, the multi-purpose tray and manual feed slot. Whether or not the multi-purpose tray and the manual feed slot are loaded with paper is detected by the paper-out sensor (PS003).
  • Page 51 CHAPTER 2 After the specified period of time from the time the paper reaches the paper top sensor (PS002), the engine controller sends the /BD signal to the interface controller. The interface controller sends the VIDEO signal to the engine controller based on the /BD signal.

  • Page 52: Jam Detection

    CHAPTER 2 B. Jam Detection The following paper sensors are installed to detect whether paper is present and whether the paper is fed correctly: • Paper top sensor (PS002) • Paper delivery sensor (PS201) The CPU determines a paper jam by checking for the presence of paper in the sensor at the timing stored in the CPU. If the CPU determines that a jam has occurred, it stops the print operation and notifies the jam to the interface controller.
