    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 2.2 PRINTING 2.2.1 PRINTING PROCESSES AROUND THE DRUM G027D534.WMF This machine uses a “write to black” system, using negative toner. Charge: The charge brush roller [A] gives the OPC drum [B] surface a negative charge of -750 volts. Exposure: A laser [C] writes a latent image on the drum.
  • Page 33: Charge

    18 May, 1999 PRINTING 2.2.2 CHARGE G027D535.WMF The OPC (Organic Photoconductor) drum [A] used in this machine is small in diameter (24 mm). This allows a very compact design. A charge brush roller [B] charges the photoconductor. The charge brush has the advantage of not generating ozone.

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 2.2.4 DEVELOPMENT Overview G027D535.WMF This machine uses monocomponent toner, which is composed of resin and ferrite. The toner mixing bar [A] stirs and carries toner to the toner application roller [B]. The toner application roller supplies toner to the development roller [C]. As the development roller turns past the toner metering blade [D], only a thin coating of negatively charged toner particles stays adhered.

  • Page 38: Toner End Detection

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 TONER END DETECTION G027D511.WMF Toner near-end is detected by the toner end sensor [A], which is below the toner tank of the toner cassette. G027D532.WMF While the main motor is rotating, the machine monitors the voltage (TONEND) output from the toner end sensor.
  • Page 39 18 May, 1999 PRINTING Toner end condition If the machine makes more than 100 copies during the toner near-end condition or the mechanical control board detects a low output for more than 9.2 seconds, it disables copying and “Add toner” is displayed on the LCD. This is the toner end condition.
  • Page 40: Transfer And Separation

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 2.2.5 TRANSFER AND SEPARATION Overview G027D512.WMF This machine uses a transfer roller [A], which touches the OPC drum [B] surface. A constant current of +4.3 µA (6.0 µA for envelopes) is applied to the transfer roller from the mechanical control board [C].
  • Page 41: Drum Cleaning

    18 May, 1999 PRINTING 2.2.6 DRUM CLEANING G027D513.WMF The cleaning blade and the used toner tank are contained in the toner cassette. A counter blade system is used for drum cleaning. The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is transferred to the paper. This removed toner is stored in the used toner tank [B].
  • Page 42: Paper Feed And Registration

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 2.2.7 PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION Overview G027D514.WMF The upper paper tray [A] holds 100 sheets. The left side fence on the paper tray is adjustable to fit to the paper size. The paper feed roller [B] is located on the right side of the machine so that it can feed a narrow sheet of paper.
  • Page 43: Paper Feed Mechanism

    18 May, 1999 PRINTING Paper Feed Mechanism Idling condition G027D515.WMF The paper feed roller [A] always rotates while the main motor rotates, since drive from the motor is transmitted to the feed roller gear [B] (which is fixed to the roller shaft through the paper feed drive gear [C]).
  • Page 44 PRINTING 18 May, 1999 Pick-up cam drive mechanism G027D516.WMF When the machine sends the trigger signal to feed paper, the paper pick-up solenoid [A] is energized for 0.3 seconds to release the cam stopper [B]. The pressure of the cam spring [C] then causes the pick-up cam [D] to rotate counterclockwise as shown in the illustration.
  • Page 45 18 May, 1999 PRINTING Upper tray bottom plate operation G027D518.WMF The position of the upper tray bottom plate [A] is determined by the pick-up cam [B]. When at the idle position, the cam holds the bottom plate away from the feed roller.
  • Page 46: Registration

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 Registration G027D519.WMF The registration sensor [A] is installed in the exit of the paper feed section. This sensor detects the leading edge of the paper and synchronizes paper feed with the writing of the image on the drum, so that the image and paper match up properly. This sensor also detects paper feed jams.
  • Page 47: Paper Width And Paper End Detection

    18 May, 1999 PRINTING PAPER WIDTH AND PAPER END DETECTION G027R110.WMF The laser unit [A] has two sensors built into it. One, the paper width sensor [B], measures the width of the paper in the upper tray. The other, the paper end sensor [C] detects the presence or absence of paper.
  • Page 48: Jam Detection

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 Jam Detection Paper jam at the upper paper tray When the registration sensor does not turn on within 5.5 seconds after the paper pick-up solenoid for the upper tray turns on (Error 50). Paper jam at the optional lower paper tray When the registration sensor does not turn on within 7.0 seconds after the paper feed solenoid for the lower paper tray turns on (Error 54).
  • Page 49: Fusing

    18 May, 1999 PRINTING 2.2.8 FUSING Overview G027D522.WMF After the image is transferred, the copy paper enters the fusing unit. The image is fused to the copy paper by applying heat and pressure through the use of a hot roller [A] and pressure roller [B]. The CPU monitors the hot roller temperature through a thermistor [C] that is in contact with the hot roller surface.
  • Page 50: Power Save Control

    PRINTING 18 May, 1999 Power Save Control When the main switch is turned on, the machine turns on the fusing lamp. For printing, the machine raises the fusing temperature to 180°C. The fusing temperature is kept at 180°C during printing. [t1] [t2] 1 8 0 °...
  • Page 51 18 May, 1999 PRINTING Power Saver Mode After t1 + t2 time passed following printing, copying, scanning, or key input, the fusing lamp goes off (power saver mode turns on). The default mode has power saver mode on. However, selecting SW user 02 as follows can turn it off.
