PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION 2-1. Installation Site To ensure utmost safety and avoid breakdown, the printer should NOT be used in a place: • Where it will be subjected to extremely high or low temperature or humidity. • Where it will be subjected to sudden fluctuations in either temperature or humidity. •...
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 3-1. To Ensure the Printer is Used in an Optimum Condition • Never place a heavy object on the printer or subject the printer to shocks. • Insert the power plug all the way into the outlet. •...
HANDLING OF THE CONSUMABLES Before using any consumables, always read the label on its container carefully. • Paper can easily damp. To prevent absorption of moisture, store paper in a place with lit- tle moisture. • Keep consumables out of the reach of children. •...
PAPER PATH Exit Tray Multipurpose Tray 4136M539AA • The printer adopts the 1-way paper feeding system by means of the Multipurpose Tray (capable of holding up to 150 sheets of paper). • The paper taken up and fed in by the Paper Take-Up Roll is transported through the printer by the Image Transfer Roller, Fusing Roller, and Exit Roller and fed out of the printer face down onto the Exit Tray.

5-2. Laser Exposure Process • The laser beam light emitted from the Print Head is used to create an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the PC Drum. • The following control is provided to correctly time image printing. Print Head Unit Laser Diode Polygon Motor...
5-3. Laser Emission Timing • When a READY signal is detected a given period of time after the print command has been issued, the Controller/Mechanical Control Board outputs a laser ON signal. • The laser ON signal makes a laser beam to be emitted and the laser beam travels to the Polygon Mirror, G1 Lens, and the SOS Mirror to eventually hit the SOS Sensor, which generates an SOS signal.
5-4. Laser Emission Area Main scanning direction • The print start position is determined by the main scanning print start signal (/HSYNC) output from the Controller/Mechanical Control Board and the width of the paper. • The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. Areas with a width of 4 mm on both edges are not, however, printed.
5-5. Cooling of the Printer Interior • The Cooling Fan Motor is used to discharge heat generated from the PH Unit out of the printer, thereby preventing the PH Unit from getting hot. PH Unit Cooling Fan Motor 4136M518AA...
DRUM CHARGE Overview • The PC Drum is charged with static electricity before laser exposure. • The Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film are used for charging. • Since the Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film directly deposit charge on the PC Drum, they produce little ozone.
IC (IMAGING CARTRIDGE) SECTION 7-1. Overview • The illustration below shows the construction of the Toner Cartridge and the Developing Unit. • This printer adopts the single-component FMT, or Fine Micro Toning, developing system. • The Toner Agitating Screw conveys toner in the Toner Cartridge onto the Toner Supply Roller.
Page 135
• The Imaging Cartridge consists of a T/C (Toner Cartridge) and a D/C (Drum Cartridge) (see the illustration below). D/C (Drum Cartridge) Imaging Cartridge 4136M511AA 4136M513AA T/C (Toner Cartridge) M-12...
7-2. PC Drum • The PC Drum used in this printer is the organic photoconductor (OPC) type. • The drum consists of two layers - Charge Transport Layer (CTL) and the Charge Gener- ating Layer (CGL) - applied to an aluminum alloy base (cylinder). Handling Precautions: The PC Drum of this type exhibits light fatigue after being exposed to light for a long time, which results in its sensitivity being changed.
7-3. Developing System • The Toner Agitating Screw conveys toner in the Toner Cartridge onto the Toner Supply Roller. • The Toner Supply Roller transports the toner to the Sleeve Roller. • The 1st Toner Blade located above the Sleeve Roller spreads a thin, even coat of toner over the Sleeve Roller.
7-4. Detection of Toner Cartridge Installation detection • The IC chip (CSIC) built into the Toner Cartridge detects that the Imaging Cartridge is installed in position when the power switch is turned OFF and ON, and the Front Door is opened and closed.
IMAGE TRANSFER 8-1. Overview • The toner image formed on the surface of the PC Drum during the developing process is transferred onto the paper. • This printer adopts the roller image transfer system, in which the Image Transfer Roller is used to transfer the image onto the paper.
FUSING UNIT 9-1. Overview • The toner image transferred onto the paper is securely fixed to the paper. • A heated roller system is used as the fusing system. The paper, to which the toner image has been transferred, is fed between the Fusing Roller heated by the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp and the Pressure Roller.
