QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical CONFIGURATION OF THE PRINTER The following diagram shows the major parts of the printer and the paper path in the printer. The printer consists of the paper feed section, print head unit (exposure section), imaging cartridge (charging section and development section), transfer section, fusing sec- tion, and paper exit section.
Page 37: Description Of Each Section
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 1-1. General Description of Each Section (1) Paper Feed Section Paper is fed from either the tray 1 (1st paper cassette) or tray 2 (2nd paper cassette). When the printer receives a print command, the paper take-up solenoid turns ON and a sheet of paper is fed by the paper take-up roller in the 1st paper cassette.
Page 38: 1-2. General Flow For Printing Process
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 1-2. General Flow for Printing Process The following shows the general printing process flow. Note: For detailed printing sequence, see 10 “Printing Sequence”. Print Command The polygon motor in the print head unit starts turning.
Page 39: Paper Feed Section
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical PAPER FEED SECTION 2-1. Tray 1 (1st Paper Cassette) 2-1-1. Taking up Paper The power is transmitted from the transport motor (M2) as follows to take up paper from the 1st paper cassette. 1 The transport motor (M2) turns counterclockwise → 2 The idle gear turns clockwise. →The 1st cassette paper take-up solenoid (SL1) turns ON.
Page 40 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 2-1-2. Sensors for Tray 1 (1) 1st Cassette Set Sensor (PC6) This sensor detects the installation of the 1st paper cassette in the tray 1. This sensor uses a photointerrupter. If the 1st paper cassette is not installed in the tray 1, the projection of the paper cassette comes off the sensor which is mounted on the printer.
Page 41 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical (3) 1st Cassette Paper Near Empty Sensor (PC5) This sensor detects the paper near empty status of the 1st cassette paper. The sensor uses a photointerrupter. As the sheets of paper in the paper cassette decrease, the paper lifting plate in the paper cassette lifts. When the paper lifting plate lifts exceeds a certain point, the 1st cassette paper near empty occurs.
Page 42 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical (5) Synchronizing Roller Sensor (PC2) This sensor detects that the paper is fed inside the printer. The sensor uses a photointerrupter. The output of the sensor is used as a ref- erence for feeding paper inside the printer. This sensor will be activated when paper is fed from any paper source.
Page 43 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 2-2. Tray 2 (2nd Paper Cassette) 2-2-1. Taking up Paper The power is transmitted from the transport motor (M2) as follows to take up paper from the 2nd paper cassette. 1 The transport motor (M2) turns counterclockwise → 2 The idle gear turns clockwise. → 3 The 1st cassette paper take-up gear turns counterclockwise.
Page 44 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical Note: The rotational direction is the one viewing from the front of the printer. PC Drum Double feed of paper in the 2nd paper cassette is prevented by the separators of the paper cassette.
Page 45 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 2-2-2. Sensors for Tray 2 (1) 2nd Cassette Set Switch (SW3) This switch detects whether the 2nd paper cassette is installed in the tray 2 or not. This switch also detects the paper cassette type; 250 sheet universal cassette or 500 sheet fixed cassette.
Page 46 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 2nd Cassette Paper Near Empty Sensor (PC25) Light is blocked: Light passes: Output = H Output = L Paper Few paper Paper Lifting Plate [Paper near empty] [Paper is present.] (4) 2nd Cassette Side Door Detecting Sensor (PC23) This sensor detects whether the 2nd cassette side door is closed or not.
Page 47: Paper Feeding
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 2-3. Paper Feed The paper taken up by the paper take-up section is fed to the transfer section after registration compensation. (1) Registration Compensation To eliminate any paper slant (skew), registration compensation is made by controlling the rotating timing of the paper take-up roller and synchronizing roller.
Page 48: Print Head Unit (Exposure Section)
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical PRINT HEAD UNIT (EXPOSURE SECTION) The print head unit incorporates a laser diode that emits the laser beam corresponding to the print image data. The spot of the laser beam emitted from the laser diode is shaped in a circle through the collimator lens. Then, it is applied to the heptagonal polygon mir- ror via the cylindrical lens.
Page 49: Imaging Cartridge
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical IMAGING CARTRIDGE 4-1. Parts Names and Functions of the Imaging Cartridge The following illustrates the construction of the imaging cartridge. The power to the gears of the imaging cartridge is transmitted from the I/C drive motor (M1) of the printer main body. (The I/C drive motor (M1) turns clockwise viewing from the front of the printer.)
Page 50: Charging Section
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical 4-2. Charging Section Before producing an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the PC drum with a laser beam, the PC drum is charged by static elec- tricity with the rotating charge bush so that the surface of the PC drum is negatively charged. The charging system uses the rotating charge brush system.
Page 51: Transfer Section
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical The seal beneath the sleeve roller acts to discharge the negatively-charged unused-toner on the sleeve roller. The discharged toner is fed back to the toner feed roller for recycling it. Note that, during printing, the seal voltage is the same as the sleeve roller voltage and discharge is not made.
Page 52: Fusing Section
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical FUSING SECTION The power from the transport motor (M2) is transmitted to the upper fusing roller so that the toner-transferred paper is fed from the transfer section to the fusing section. The paper is heated to melt the toner by the upper fusing roller and pressed by the upper and lower fusing rollers. The upper fusing roller is heated by the fusing roller heater lamp (H1) which is built in it.
Page 53 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical Fusing temperature control: • When the power switch is turned ON, the printer starts warm-up until the upper fusing roller temperature reaches approx. 200°C. (It will take about one minute.) (Warming-up mode) • To maintain the upper fusing roller temperature above 190°C, the control circuit raises the temperature and keeps at approx. 210°C for approx.
Page 54: Paper Exit
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical PAPER EXIT SECTION The paper fed from the fusing section passes the paper exit roller and is ejected at the top of the printer with the printed side facing down. The transmit power for feeding paper is provided by the transport motor (M2) and transmitted in the order from 1 ~ B shown in the figure found on the following page.
Page 55 QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical spring force so that the end of the sensor arm comes off the photointerrupter. Thus, the light emitted form the LED passes in the pho- tointerrupter, the phototransistor turns ON, and the output of the photointerrupter is “L”.
Page 56: Detection Of New Imaging Cartridge
QMS 2560 - Mechanical / Electrical DETECTION OF A NEW IMAGING CARTRIDGE The printer has the function to detect whether the newly installed imaging cartridge is a new one or used one.
