6. Details Roll Feed Mechanism Drive One roll feed motor [A] controls the two feed rollers: • The clutch [B] engages to transfer power from the motor to the feed roller [C] for Roll 1. -or- • The clutch [D] engages to transfer power from the motor to the feed roller [E] for Roll 2. There is a plastic knob [F] at the end of each feed roller.

Page 437 6. Details Rear Exit When the paper junction gate is open: • The gate sends the paper to the rear paper exit [4]. • The paper moves past mylars attached on the rear of the machine. • The paper falls into the lower output tray [7] and then stops in the lower output stacker [8]. Jam Detection The exit sensor [6] detects paper jams.

Electrical Components Electrical Components Overview Overall System The illustration below shows the configuration of the system components. Printer components: 1. Motors 4. Thermistors 2. Sensors 5. Solenoids: Separation, Paper Exit 3. Fan Motors 6. Clutches: Here is a brief description of functions of the important boards: MCU (Main Control Unit).
Page 439 6. Details • Base engine control, image writing control, etc.. • Basic I/O function control for the power packs, motors, sensors, solenoids, clutches, and fusing. • Power supply to electrical components (sensors, motors, etc.). IPU (Image Processing Unit). Manages imaging processing for print jobs, and also manages sending and receiving data between itself and the GW controller board.
Page 440 Electrical Components NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION Cooling Fan Motor This is an exhaust fan for the area around the drum. Cutter Motor This controls the cutter in the roll feeder. Drum Motor This controls the OPC drum. This controls the hot roller, fusing exit rollers, and Fusing Motor upper exit rollers.
Page 441 6. Details NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION Interfaces with the controller, IPU, and optional PCB7 Mother Board devices such as interface board for the printer controller. This controls the image signals that are sent to the LPH PCB8 VDB (Video Drive Board) (LED Print Head).
Page 442 Electrical Components NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION Paper Registration Sensor This detects paper at the registration rollers. This detects when a cut sheet is placed on the manual Paper Set Sensor feed table (by-pass). This sensor is near the grip rollers, and (1) Detects the leading edge of every cut sheet, switches off the Relay Sensor cassette paper feed clutch, and switches on the grip...
Page 443 6. Details NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION Detects toner overflow in the used toner collection Toner Overflow Sensor bottle. Upper Unit Sensor Detects when the upper unit is open. The actuator of this sensor is attached to the wire that Wire Cleaner Sensor moves the transfer cleaner from left to right.
Page 444 Electrical Components NUMBER NAME DESCRIPTION Detects whether the fusing unit cover is open or closed. Exit Unit Switch SC559 is issued after 3 consecutive jams occur in the fusing unit. Note: SC559 is not issued unless SP1159 is switched on (Default: "0" off). The fusing unit cover must always be opened and closed after this SC occurs to restore the machine to full operation.

Electrical Components IPU (Image Processing Unit) The IPU (Image Processing Unit) holds the ASIC and memory for image processing. The IPU also controls the HDD unit and the printer board. • The IPU DIP switches must always be OFF (default) and they must not be changed in the field. The PSU (Power Supply Unit) supplies dc for all electrical components in the machine, and controls ac input to the fusing lamps and anti-condensation lamps.

6. Details VDB (Video Drive Board) The VDB controls the LPH and the algorithms to convert video data. CGB PP This is the high voltage power supply for the charge corona wire, development bias, and charge corona grid. RFDB, SFDB The RFDB and SFDB are on the bottom plate of the drawer in the optional roll sheet feeder.
