Preface This manual contains maintenance procedures for service personnel. It is divided into the following chapters: General information contains a general description of the printer and the maintenance approach used to repair it. Special tools and test equipment, as well as general environmental and safety instructions, are discussed.
1. General information The MF92x series are color laser MFPs that combine print, scan, copy, and fax functions. The MF92x series are the ideal MFPs for presentations, business graphics, line art, and text. They use laser diode electrophotographic technology to deliver remarkable quality print images and text. The scan and copy functions work with A4, letter, and legal (ADF only) size paper.
Options and features Certain options are available on selected printer models only. Available options include: • 650-Sheet Duo Drawer—a 550-sheet drawer with a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder (MP Feeder). • Additional memory—One 128, 256, or 512MB memory card may be added. •...
Print quality During the life of the printer, components are subject to wear based on usage. Printers continuously operating at or near the maximum duty cycle may require service for replacement of these components to ensure high- quality printing and good performance throughout the life of the printer. Replacement is recommended every 60,000 pages for the fuser and 60,000 pages for the ITU.
Operating modes Mode Description Normal Factory default Quiet Designed for customers where noise levels are a very important factor. • Print quality is maintained at factory default level. • Speed is reduced. Eco-Mode (Off is default): Designed for customers where the environment is a key factor. There are three options;...

Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 g/m [16 lb bond]) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils [0.1 mm]), and paper that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required for reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier.

Theory of operation Print engine theory Electrophotographic Process (EP Process) The method that all laser and LED printers use to print is called the electrophotographic process. These machines use differences in charge to manipulate and move toner from the toner cartridge to the printed page. Even though the basic EP process is the same for every laser and LED printer, the specifics for each printer are different.
Step 1: Charge During the charge step, voltage is sent from the high-voltage power supply to the charge roller (A) beside each of the four photoconductors. The charge roller is part of the photoconductor unit. The charge roller (A) puts a uniform negative charge over the entire surface of the photoconductor to prepare it for the laser beam.
Step 2: Expose During the expose step, the laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of each photoconductor (B) and writes an invisible image called a latent image or electrostatic image for each color. The laser beam actually discharges the surface only where the beam hits the photoconductor. This creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the photoconductor surface.
Step 3: Develop Once the laser exposes the photoconductor, the high-voltage power supply sends charge to the developer roll (C). For each color, the toner cartridge engages the photoconductor so it is in contact with the surface. Because of the charge difference between the toner on the developer roller and the electrostatic image created by the laser, the toner will attract to the photoconductor only where the laser exposed the surface.
Step 4a: First transfer When the latent images are developed on each Photoconductor, the high-voltage power supply sends voltage to the 1st Transfer Rollers inside the ITU (D). The charge difference between the developed toner image on the Photoconductor surface and the 1st Transfer Roller causes the images to transfer to the surface of the ITU belt for each color.
Step 4b: Second transfer Once the four planes of color are transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductors, the image is carried towards the transfer roll (E). This transfer roll is also part of the ITU. Based on the speed of the transfer belt, the proper time to send the signal to pick the media from an input source is determined.
Step 5: Fuse Once the image has been fully transferred to the media, the transfer roll helps move the paper into the fuser area. The fuser (F) applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the tiny toner particles and bond them permanently to the media.
Step 6: Clean/Erase There are two main cleaning processes that take place during the EP Process. One process cleans the transfer belt, and the other cleans the photoconductors. Transfer Unit Clean Once the toner image on the transfer belt has been transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates around and is cleaned by the cleaning blade (G).
Page 189
Photoconductor Clean/Erase After each plane of color has been transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductors, a cleaning blade (H) scrapes the remaining toner from the surface of each photoconductor. This is the clean/erase process. Now the photoconductor surface is prepared to begin the EP cycle once again. This cleaning/erasing cycle happens after each plane of color is transferred to the transfer belt.
Paper path, transport components In order for an image to be printed, the media has to be moved from an input source (such as a tray) into the printer and eventually exit into an output source. The most important component in this process is this media itself. Old, damaged, or out-of-specification media can and will cause feed and transport problems.
Transport components In summary, the media is fed from the tray into the printer by a feed roll and carried to the transfer roll (ITU). The pick rollers time the media to enter the EP process at just the right moment. The pick rollers push the media to the ITU where the image is transferred to the page.
Page 192
When the trailing edge of the media clears the fuser, the fuser engine rotates forward to prepare the fuser for the page travelling through the duplexer. As the media reaches the gate aligner, a sensor (S1) is triggered indicating the presence of the leading edge. When the S1 sensor is triggered, the paper continues to the S2 sensor.
Scanner theory Duplex ADF The following illustration shows the paperpath, rollers and sensors used in the MF923 duplex ADF. The MF923 duplex ADF enables the user to create duplex scans automatically, eliminating the need to stop the scanning process to flip the media being duplicated over. The ADF uses a step motor, and a series of sensors to determine the media’s position in the paper path during the scan process.
Page 194
with the ADF scan sensor ensure that the media is travelling at the correct speed through the scan area. The speed the document travels through the ADF scan area is dependent on the image DPI specified by the user. 7. After a predetermined number of counts, the media reaches the scan area and the image acquisition process is initiated.
Color theory What is RGB color? Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors observed in nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions and computer monitors create colors in this manner.
My color transparencies seem dark when they are projected. Is there anything I can do to improve the color? This problem most commonly occurs when projecting transparencies with reflective overhead projectors. To obtain the highest projected color quality, transmissive overhead projectors are recommended. If a reflective projector must be used, then adjusting the Toner Darkness setting to 1, 2, or 3 will lighten the transparency.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)? From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These are also available from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a multiple-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes.
