    3.2.1 Plate-up Function of the Paper Tray The plate of the paper tray is pushed up by the force exerted by the motor not by springs so as to keep paper-feeding performance constant irrespective of the quantity of paper remaining in the tray. This paragraph provides an overview of this function. At the time of inserting the paper tray into the main body of the machine, the plate is kept lowered.

  • Page 42: Paper Supply

    3.2.2 Paper Supply The paper feed roller picks up one or a few sheets of paper from the paper tray every time it is rotated and feeds it to the separation roller. Subsequently, stacks of paper are caught between the separation roller and separation pad, then separated into single sheets. Separation roller Edge actuator Separation pad...

  • Page 43: Paper Registration

    3.2.3 Paper Registration The front-edge position of a sheet of paper after separation by the separation roller is detected by the registration front actuator. When the front edge of the paper reaches the registration roller after being carried for a certain time, it hits the stopped registration roller and the inclination of the paper is corrected.

    3.2.5 Paper Feeding from the Manual feed slot/Paper Eject from the Back When manual feeding, one sheet of paper inserted from the manual feed slot presses the registration front actuator, and detects that there is paper, then the paper is fed. When print with the back cover opened, the printed paper is ejected from the back of the machine with its print side up.

  • Page 49: Toner Cartridge

    Toner Cartridge 3.4.1 Methods for Detecting and Counting Toner Life “Toner Life End” is displayed in one of two ways. First is when detection is performed by the toner sensor; Second is when the rotation rate of the develop roller reaches its upper limit. (1) Detection by the toner sensor The amount of toner remaining can be detected by checking the imperviousness to light of the toner in the cartridge by means of the transmissive photosensor.

  • Page 53: New Toner Detection

    3.4.3 New Toner Detection When a toner cartridge is changed, discrimination between new and used toner cartridges is performed by means of the new toner detection mechanism shown below. <New Toner Detection Mechanism> When a new toner cartridge is inserted into the machine, the rib on the reset gear pushes the new toner actuator which turns on (activates) the new toner sensor, allowing the presence of a brand new toner to be detected.
  • Page 54 <Developing Bias Voltage> The instant when the new toner detection mechanism detects a new toner cartridge, the developing bias voltage is reset. Toner in use tends to have a low printing density at the time of first use, but the density gradually becomes higher after a certain period of use. The properties of the toner is controlled by means of the developing bias voltage.

  • Page 55: Print

    Print 3.5.1 Basic Principle The printing process consists broadly of 5 processes: Primary charging, Exposure, Development, Transfer and Fusing. 1. Primary charging: The surface of an exposure drum is electrically charged. 2. Exposure: A latent image is formed on the surface of the drum by applying laser beam. 3.

  • Page 56: Print Process

    3.5.2 Print Process (1) Charging The flow of the ion charge is controlled by a constant voltage of the corona wire (850V) and the grid is to ensure it is evenly distributed on the drum surface. In order for the laser to create a latent image on the drum, the drum needs to be evenly charged.
  • Page 57 (2) Exposure The laser beam radiated from the laser diode inside the laser unit are concentrated into a constant width by a slit in the CO lens cell and then reflected by a polygon mirror rotating at high speed. The evenly charged drum is irradiated with reflected light and exposed. The surface potential is lowered by such exposure and a latent image is formed.
  • Page 58 (3) Development Toner is attracted to the latent image area on the exposure drum where surface potential is lowered due to the exposure. By controlling developing bias voltage supplied to the develop roller, the amount of toner taken to the drum is adjusted to keep printing density constant. Charging Laser beam 450 V to 300 V...
  • Page 59 (4) Transfer By applying a minus charge to the transfer roller, the toner adhered to the exposured drum is transferred to the paper. Supply roller Develop roller Exposure drum Toner cartridge Transfer roller Toner Fig. Ref. 2-24 Memo : Control of transfer bias The transfer bias applied in the transfer roller is adjusted according to types and sizes of paper so as to keep excellent image quality.
  • Page 60 (5) Fusing The toner transferred on to the paper passes between the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fuser unit, being fused by heat and pressure. The thermistor detects surface temperature of the heat roller and turns the halogen heater lamp ON and OFF. This ensures that the temperature is kept constant.
