Page 127: Print Media Transport
5022-xxx Print media transport The print media is picked from the input source and fed to the bump aligner roll. The media movement is detected by a sensor located in the paper pick mechanism. It does not matter where the media comes from (Tray 1, Tray 2, or, the MPF);...

Page 129 5022-xxx Once the print media exits the transfer belt, it enters the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to bond the toner permanently to the media. The fuser rollers continue to turn and pull the print media through the paper path until it reaches the exit drive roll.
Page 130 5022-xxx If the page is to be duplexed, the fuser output drive roll continues to pull the media until it clears the paper exit flag and then reverses the rotation of the roller in order to pull the media back into the printer duplex assembly. The media is then routed down through the duplex path until it reaches the bump aligner roll.
Page 131: Mechanical Drive
5022-xxx Mechanical drive In order for the print media to move through the paper path, there are several drive motors that supply the mechanical power to the rollers discussed previously. The drives for these components are illustrated and discussed in the following paragraphs. Paper pick mechanism drive When printing from Tray 1 or Tray 2, the paper pick motor drives the paper pick gears which causes the pick roller to turn.

Page 133 5022-xxx Photoconductor unit/toner cartridge drive The photoconductor units (four) and toner cartridges (four) receive drive power from the EP drive assembly motors. The top cartridge motor 1 on the EP drive assembly provides drive to the top two photoconductor units and toner cartridges (yellow and cyan).
Page 134 5022-xxx Transfer belt drive The transfer belt unit receives drive from a motor located on the EP drive assembly. When the top access door is open, the coupler for the transfer belt disengages. Outside Inside Transfer belt Coupler motor Fuser drive The fuser drive (motor) is built into the fuser assembly and drives the fuser rollers to turn.
Page 135 5022-xxx Duplex drive The duplex motor is mounted on the front door assembly. Drive is provided to three drive shafts in the duplex unit by a belt that is driven by the motor. The drive shafts move the print media through the duplex unit during printing.
Page 136: Paper Sensing
5022-xxx Paper sensing Sensors are strategically placed in the printer to ensure that the print media is making it to specific points within a given time in the electrophotographic process. There are two paper flags: one at the bottom of the machine (paper pick) to detect input paper, including duplex second side, from all sources and one at the top (paper exit) to detect paper movement beyond the fuser.
Page 137 5022-xxx Paper exit/duplex entry sensor and bin full flag The top sensor detects movement in two directions: as the paper exits the fuser and as it is retracted from the exit tray back into the duplex path. Each sheet must be driven past the fuser exit flag and allowed to fall before being turned around and starting the duplex path.
Page 138: Electrophotographic (Ep) Process
5022-xxx Electrophotographic (EP) process Main components System card The system card is the brain of the printer. During the print process, an image is sent from a computer to the system card. The raster image processor (RIP) portion of the system card converts the data into a raster image and feeds this data along with control information to the printhead.
Page 139 5022-xxx High voltage power supply (HVPS) Provides a high voltage charge to: • The charge roll located in the photoconductor unit • The photoconductor drum located in the photoconductor unit • The toner adder roller (TAR) located in the toner cartridge •...
Page 140: Charging
5022-xxx Charging The primary component of the charging process is the high voltage power supply. The following provides information that covers the mechanical transfer of the high voltage through a set of springs to each subcomponent of the charging process. Photoconductor unit (charge roll) The following illustration shows the circuit path that allows high voltage current to flow from the HVPS to the charge roll contact on the photoconductor unit.
Page 141 5022-xxx Toner cartridge The following illustration shows the circuit path that allows high voltage current to flow from the HVPS to the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge contains three parts that are provided high voltage from the HVPS. These three parts are: the doctor blade, the developer roll, and the toner adder roll (TAR). It is essential that the contact springs are properly touching to provide a good flow.
Page 142 5022-xxx Transfer belt The transfer belt houses four transfer rollers that provide image transfer from the photoconductor drum to the print media. The transfer belt receives its high voltage charge through spring contacts located on the transfer contact assembly as shown in the following illustration. For the sake of simplicity, only one of the roller's high voltage paths is shown.
Page 143: Exposing
5022-xxx Exposing The main components in the exposure process are the system card, the printhead and the photoconductor unit. The following illustration depicts a typical data path for a single color exposure. Data is received from a computer into a port on the system card. The system card's RIP function converts this data into raster information which is fed to the printhead along with other control data.
Page 144: Developing
5022-xxx Developing The two primary components of the developing process are the photoconductor unit and the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge contains a toner adder roll, developer roll and toner. Toner is advanced toward the toner adder roll by three paddle assemblies. The advanced toner clings to the electrically charged toner adder roll. The toner on the toner adder roll is then electrically attracted to the developer roll because of the difference in electrical charge between the toner adder roll and the developer roll.
Page 145: Transferring
5022-xxx Transferring After the toner is attracted to the photoconductor drum, the image is ready for transfer onto the print media. The print media is advanced in the paper path onto the transfer belt and is carried along the belt underneath each photoconductor unit.
Page 146: Fusing
5022-xxx Fusing After the image has been transferred onto the print media, it is ready for fusing. The print media is transported into the fuser where the hot roll and backup roll use a combination of high heat and pressure to melt and press the toner to the media.
Page 147: Cleaning
5022-xxx Cleaning The transfer belt and photoconductor drum are cleaned at the end of the electrophotographic process cycle. The transfer belt surface is cleaned as it rotates past a cleaning blade and shaft located inside the transfer belt assembly. Any waste toner that is scraped off of the belt is collected in the waste toner container located next to the belt inside the transfer belt unit.
