2-1 Mechanical Construction 2-1-1 Paper feed/conveying section Paper feed/conveying section consists of the paper feed unit that feeds paper from the cassette and the MP tray paper feed unit that feeds paper from the MP tray, and the paper conveying section that conveys the fed paper to the transfer/separation section.
(2) MP tray paper feed section The MP tray can contain 100 sheets. Feeding from the MP tray is performed by the rotation of the MP paper feed roller. Also, function of the MP separation pad prevents paper from multiple feeding. Figure 2-1-3 MP tray paper feed section 1.
(3) Conveying section The conveying section conveys paper to the transfer/separation section as paper feeding from the cassette or MP tray, or as paper refeeding for duplex printing. Paper by feeding is conveyed by the paper feed roller to the position where the registration sensor (RS) is turned on, and then sent to the transfer/separation section by the upper registration roller and lower registration roller.
2-1-2 Drum section The drum section consists of the drum, the charger roller unit, and the cleaning unit, and the drum surface is uniformly charged in preparation for formation of residual image by laser beam. (1) Charger roller unit The drum surface is uniformly charged by contacting the roller which gave the electric charge and was charged on the drum surface, and rotating it.
(2) Cleaning unit After transfer is complete, toner remaining on the drum surface is chipped off with the cleaning blade and is collected to the waste toner box with the drum screw. The cleaning lamp (CL) consists of LEDs and removes residual charge on the drum before main charging.
2-1-3 Developer section The developer unit consists of the developer roller that forms the magnetic brush, the developer blade and the developer screws that agitate the toner.Also, the toner sensor (TS) checks whether or not toner remains in the developer unit. Figure 2-1-11 Developer section 1.
2-1-4 Optical section (1) Laser scanner section The charged surface of the drum is then scanned by the laser beam from the laser scanner unit. The laser beam is dispersed as the polygon motor (PM) revolves to reflect the laser beam over the drum. Various lenses and mirror are housed in the laser scanner unit, adjust the diameter of the laser beam, and focalize it at the drum surface.
2-1-5 Transfer/Separation section The transfer and separation section consists mainly of the transfer roller and separation electrode. A high voltage generated by the high voltage PWB (HVPWB) is applied to the transfer roller for transfer charg- ing. Paper after transfer is separated from the drum by applying separation charging that is output from the high voltage PWB (HVPWB) to the separation electrode.
2-1-6 Fuser section The paper sent from the transfer/separation section is interleaved between the heat roller and the press roller. The heat roller is heated by the fuser heater (FUH), and the toner is fused by heat and pressure and fixed onto the paper because the press roller is pressed by the fuser press spring.
2-1-7 Eject/Feedshift section The paper eject/feedshift section consists of the conveying path which sends the paper that has passed the fuser section to the facedown tray, the faceup tray (50/45 ppm model only) or the duplex conveying sec- tion. (40 ppm model) (50/45 ppm model) Figure 2-1-19 Eject/Feedshift section...
2-1-8 Duplex conveying section The duplex conveying section consists of conveying path which sends the paper sent from the eject/feedshift section to the paper feed/conveying section when duplex printing. Figure 2-1-21 Duplex conveying section 1. DU conveying roller 4. Actuater 2.
