7015 Theory of operation POR sequence As the printer turns on, the engine code goes through a series of tests to verify hardware integrity. If a hardware failure is detected, then it is reported to the printer. If the POR sequence cannot be completed successfully, then the printer may post an error message.
7015 Part First input roller Secondary input roller Separator roller Pick rollers Option tray Multipurpose feeder (MPF) The driving force from the main drive motor is transmitted through the MPF gearbox. When the MPF solenoid activates, it allows the MPF sector gear linked to the MPF gearbox to rotate. The MPF pick roll shaft is connected to the MPF sector gear.
7015 The media with the embedded toner image goes through the fuser assembly to permanently bond the toner to the media. When it passes between the heat belt and pressure roll of the fuser assembly, the combination of heat and pressure fuses the toner image to the media. The fuser exit roller feeds the media to the paper exit roller and then to the output bin.
7015 Part First input roller Secondary input roller Duplex front deliver roller Duplex rear deliver roller Paper exit roller Media handling components Main drive gearbox The gearbox supplies all mechanical power requirements of the printer. Its motor, through several gears, transfers power to following paths: photoconductor drum, transfer roll, fuser, paper exit, input, duplex, and MPF.

7015 MPF sensor Detects the presence of media in the MPF tray. Media present sensor Detects the presence of media in the tray. Tray present sensor Detects the presence of the tray in the printer. Bin full sensor Detects whether the standard bin is full by moving the actuator up and down. Toner density sensor Detects a preplaced toner patch and image on the photoconductor (drum) and outputs pulses when the central line of the patch image aligns with the central line of the detector.

7015 Electrophotographic process (EP process) Printhead The printhead scans the photo conductor drum surface with a laser beam. It consists of the following components: • Laser diode (LD) card assembly • Oscillator • Start of scan card assembly When a laser beam is scanned across the photoconductor drum surface from one end to the other while turning on and off the beam, one line of latent image is created.
Page 479
7015 Step 2: Expose The laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of the photoconductor and writes an invisible image, called a latent image. The laser beam only discharges the surface where the beam hits the photoconductor. This creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the photoconductor surface.

Page 483
7015 After a predetermined number of counts, the media reaches the scan area and the image acquisition process is initiated. While the image acquisition process is executing, the feed sensor is being polled to determine if the trailing edge of the media has reached the sensor. Once the trailing edge of the scan media has reached the feed sensor, that sensor goes to the off position.
