This copier employs a slit exposure system with a fixed original table, and a halogen lamp (HL) as the light source. The optical section consists of light source units 1 and 2. Light source unit 1 carries the halogen lamp and the main and auxiliary reflectors. Each unit travels from one side of the machine to the other along scanner rails at machine front and rear.

Exposure control for manual exposure and photo modes The halogen lamp light intensity for manual exposure and photo modes is calculated from the data obtained by running simulation 24. The number of exposure steps depends on the setting in simulation 96-1: 7 or 13 steps when set to “NORMAL MODE” and 19 or 25 steps when set to “SPECIAL AREA”.

Exposure control for auto exposure mode In auto exposure mode, the halogen lamp lights at the intensity set by simulation 28-1 to perform prescan. The exposure level to copy that particular original is determined by using the value read in by the AE sensor. AE detection (prescan) Original leading edge Exposure...

( 4 ) Developing section The developing section consists of the developing unit and toner cartridge. Toner cartridge Developing unit Figure 1-3-16 Developing section The developing unit consists of the developing roller where a magnetic brush is formed, doctor blade and the developing spirals that agitate the developer. Toner in the toner cartridge is mixed with residual toner recovered from the cleaning section, and the mixture is conveyed to the developing unit.
Page 38
Formation of the magnetic brush The developing roller consists of a magnet roller with five poles and a sleeve roller. Rotation of the sleeve roller around the magnet roller entrains developer, which in turn forms a magnetic brush at pole N1 on the magnet roller. The height of the magnetic brush is regulated by the doctor blade;...

The sensor section of the toner sensor detects the ratio of toner to carrier in the developer near it and converts it into a voltage.
Page 40
195-1 Toner density control Toner density is controlled by switching the toner feed motor on and off, using as the reference the toner sensor output based on the toner sensor control voltage set when simulation 60 was executed while the developer was first supplied.

Page 42
195-1 Controlling the toner sensor output voltage When initializing the toner control level in simulation 60, the toner sensor control voltage (TNS CONT) is set so that the toner sensor output voltage (TNS) is 1.60 V DC. The image density is subject to humidity changes and the developing unit drive time. To maintain the image density constant, the toner sensor output voltage (TNS) is corrected by the toner sensor control voltage (TNS CONT).
Page 43
[Computing the absolute humidity] The humidity sensor (HUMSENS) and external temperature thermistor (ETTH) are located on the humidity sensor PCB (HUMPCB). The humidity sensor (HUMSENS) converts the relative humidity detected by the humidity sensing element into a voltage and sends it to the main PCB (MPCB). The main PCB computes the absolute humidity based on this HUMSENS signal and the temperature (ETTH signal) detected by the external temperature thermistor.
( 5 ) Transfer and separation section Post-transfer guide Tungsten wire Transfer charger Figure 1-3-25 Transfer and separation section The transfer and separation section consists of the transfer charger. In the transfer charger, a high voltage generated by the high-voltage transformer PCB (HVTPCB) is applied across both ends of the tungsten wire for transfer charging and the toner image is transferred from the drum surface onto the paper.

The fixing and eject section consists of the parts shown in Figure 1-3-31. When the paper reaches the fixing section after the transfer process, it passes through the gap between the press roller and heat roller, which is heated by the fixing heater (H). Pressure is applied by the fixing pressure springs so that toner on the paper is melted and fused onto the paper.
