Machine Overview Printing Process This machine uses four AIOs and four laser beams for color printing. Each AIO contains a drum, charge roller, cleaning brush, blade, development roller and mixing auger. The toner image on each drum is moved to the image transfer belt. The four colors are put on the belt. All four toners are put on the belt at the same time.
Page 169
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Charge is removed from the development roller with a quenching sheet in the AIO. There is no quenching for the OPC drum. 7. Paper Transfer and Separation: Toner transfers from the image transfer belt to the paper when the paper is fed between the image transfer belt and transfer roller.
Process Control Process Control Overview This machine has these two forms of process control: • Potential control • Toner supply control Process control uses these components: • Three TM (Toner Mark) sensors (left [A], center [B], and right [C]). Only the center TM sensor (direct- reflection and diffusion type) is used for process control.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions The machine makes a 7-gradation pattern on the transfer belt for each toner color. The pattern has 9 squares (the sequence is as follows: 7 yellow squares, 7 cyan squares, 7 magenta squares and 7 black squares). Each of the squares is 10 mm x 17 mm, and is a solid-color square. To make the squares, the machine changes the development bias and charge roller voltage.

Process Control 2) New ITB (Image Transfer Belt) unit detection (after transfer unit life counter is reset with SP mode) 3) Environment (temperature and humidity) change detection. • MUSIC starts automatically immediately after the power is turned on (there is toner amount control) if conditions other than described above occur.
Page 173
6. Detailed Section Descriptions • Toner amount control and MUSIC interrupt a job and start automatically between pages when the machine has copied/printed 250 pages since the previous process control. • MUSIC starts automatically between pages when the machine has copied/printed 100 pages in the same job since the previous process control.
Laser Exposure Laser Exposure Overview 1. LD unit - C/M 4. Synchronizing Detector Board 2. Fθ Lens 5. LD unit - K/Y 3. Polygon Mirror Motor This machine uses two LDB units and one polygon mirror motor to produce latent images on four OPC drums (one drum for each color toner).
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Optical Path The laser beams for magenta [B] and yellow [C] are sent to the upper part of the polygon mirror [E]. The laser beams for cyan [A] and black [D] are sent to the lower part of the polygon mirror.
Laser Exposure LD Safety Switch A safety switch turns off when the front cover or the top cover is opened. As a result, the relay on the PSU cuts off the power supply (+5V) to the two LD boards. (The circuits go through the EGB.) This system prevents unexpected laser emission, and ensures user safety and technician safety.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions MUSIC (Mirror Unit Skew and Interval Correction) During MUSIC, the line patterns above are made 16 times for fine adjustment or 8 times for the rough adjustment on the transfer belt. The spaces between the lines (YY, KK, CC, MM, KY, KC, KM) are measured by the front, center, and rear TM sensors.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions the engine module more compact. The waste toner bottle is smaller than other full-color printers because the waste toner from the OPC is collected in the waste toner tank of each AIO. The diameter of the OPC is 24 mm and the diameter of the development roller is 12 mm. Drive The black AIO motor drives the gear [A] for the black AIO.
AIO (All In One) Cartridge OPC Charge and Cleaning This machine uses a charge roller [A]. The charge roller gives the drum surface a negative charge. The high voltage supply board, which is at the left side of the machine, applies a dc and ac voltage (at a constant current) to the roller.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Waste Toner Collection from the OPC The waste toner collection coil [A] transports waste toner from the OPC to the right side of the AIO. After that, the waste toner transport belt [B], which is driven by the transport belt shaft [C], lifts waste toner up to the waste toner tank [E].
AIO (All In One) Cartridge The toner moves as shown in the above drawing. The toner agitator [A] mixes the toner so that it is transported evenly to the mixing rollers. The upper mixing roller [B] moves toner to the center, then the lower mixing roller [C] moves toner to the right and left sides.
Page 183
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Toner End To detect toner end the machine uses: • Output from the TM sensor (center) After near-end, it is estimated that 200 pages (A4, 5% coverage) can be printed until toner end occurs.
Paper Feed Paper Feed Overview 1. Paper Feed Roller 4. Paper Height Lever 2. Registration Sensor 5. Separation Pad 3. Registration Roller 6. Paper End Sensor This machine has a paper tray (250 sheets) and a by-pass paper feed (single sheet). The paper feed mechanism uses a friction pad system.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Drive and Paper End Detection Paper Feed The transport/fusing motor [A] controls the paper feed roller [B] and registration roller [C] with the paper feed clutch [D], registration clutch [E] and gears. (The transport/fusing motor also controls the fusing unit and paper exit roller.) The paper feed roller feeds a sheet of paper to the registration roller [C].
Paper Feed Tray Lift The bottom plate [A] is lifted by the springs [B] in the tray when the tray is inserted in the machine, and the bottom tray lock lever [C] is released by the projection [D] at the right side of the tray set location. There is no tray lowering mechanism for these models.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions By-pass Feed This machine uses a manual by-pass feed system. When the registration sensor [A] detects a sheet of paper [B] but no job has come in from a PC, the machine determines that the user has put a sheet of paper in the by-pass tray.
Duplex Operation There is no interleaving in the PE-P1/MF1 models. The printing is done as shown above: 2nd side of 1st page Ô 1st side of 1st page Ô 2nd side of 2nd page Ô 1st side of 2nd page Ô ----.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Image Transfer Overview 1. Image Transfer Belt 3. ITB Drive Roller 2. ITB (Image Transfer Belt) Roller 4. ITB Cleaning Unit The toner is moved from the four OPC drums to the image transfer belt. For a full color print, all four colors are moved from the PCUs to the transfer belt at the same time.
Image Transfer Drive and Transfer Belt Roller Bias The black AIO motor [A] controls the transfer belt drive roller [B]. The belt tension roller [C] adds tension to the transfer belt to help to turn this belt. The image transfer belt rollers [D] are charged from terminal plates to move the toner from the PCUs to the image transfer belt.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions The transfer belt contact motor [B] turns the CMY contact cam shaft [C] when the machine starts to make a color print. The CMY contact cams slide the right and left sliders [D] and these sliders lift the belt transfer rollers for each OPC drum (CMY) to the transfer belt.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Paper Transfer and Discharge Transfer Roller The transfer roller [A] is always pressed against the image transfer belt by pressure from a spring. The transfer roller moves toner images [B] from the transfer belt to the paper. When a sheet of paper [C] goes between the transfer roller and the transfer belt, the transfer roller turns with the paper.
Image Transfer Waste Toner Collection The waste toner collection coil [A] moves collected waste toner from the ITB (image transfer belt) unit to the entrance [B] of the waste toner bottle. The agitator plate [C] levels the collected waste toner in the waste toner bottle.
Fusing and Exit Drive Models without Duplex (G165/G166: Printer model, G181: MF model) The transport/fusing motor [A] drives the hot roller [B], pressure roller [C] (this is an idle roller) and paper exit roller [D] (via gears). The paper exit sensor [E] detects the trailing edge of the paper to determine the stop timing for the transport/fusing motor.
6. Detailed Section Descriptions Models with Duplex (G167: Printer model, G183/G184 MF model) For models with duplex, the transport/fusing motor drives the hot roller (same as the models without duplex). However, the paper exit roller [A] is controlled by the duplex motor [B]. This is because the duplex motor controls paper exit and feed in the duplex.
Fusing and Exit Temperature Control The fusing unit has these components for temperature control: • The fusing thermistors [A] [B] send a signal when the fusing temperature goes past the threshold. • The central thermistor [A] is the one that is used for fusing temperature control. •...
