  • Page 19: Print Process

    3. 1. 1 Characteristic of toner The toner used for KIP 770 has a characteristic to be charged “negative”, which tends to be attracted to a more “positive” object. Suppose that there are objects A and B, and the situation is as follows.
  • Page 20 3. 1. 2 Each step of print process One cycle of print consists of the following 8 processes. 1. Erasing (Removal of negative electric charges) 2. Charge of Drum 3. Exposure 4. Development 5. Transfer 6. Separation 7. Drum Cleaning (Removal of remained toner) 8.
  • Page 21 When the printer is going to stop after printing, or when the used Roll Deck is changed with other one, the KIP 770 will take the “Toner Collection Process” to remove the remained toner and place back into the Developer Unit.
  • Page 22 3. 1. 2. 1 Erasing (Removal of negative electric charges) As the first step of print cycle, it is necessary to remove the negative electric charges from the Drum, which have remained there after the former print cycle. The Drum has a characteristic to lose the negative electric charges if it is exposed to the light. So the Drum is rotated and evenly exposed to the light from the Eraser Lamp.
  • Page 23 3. 1. 2 .2 Charge of Drum The Image Corona discharges negative electric charges which are given to the Drum. The surface of Drum becomes about -630V evenly as a result, which corresponds to the white area of the printed image pattern. The Grid Plate is also connected to the High Voltage Power Supply individually.
  • Page 24 3. 1. 2. 3 Exposure According to the printed image pattern, the LED Head throws the light (740nm) onto some part of Drum which corresponds to the black area of printed image pattern. As the Drum has a characteristic to lose the negative electric charges if it is exposed to the light, this part of Drum surface loses the charges and its potential becomes about -20V.
  • Page 25 (9 micrometers) is much smaller than that (42 micrometers) of 1 pixel of LED. The electric charges on the Drum are removed as needed. (2) The KIP 770’s LED Head Unit consists of 3 blocks. Block A / C...
  • Page 26 3. 1. 2. 4 Development The Developer Roller, which is evenly covered with the toner, is contacted to the Drum because the Developer Unit is pressed to the Drum. (The width of contact point is about 5mm.) The Developer Roller is supplied with -230V during the print cycle. And both -630V area and -20V area exist on the Drum because the Electrostatic Latent Image has been formed in the former Exposure process.
  • Page 27 Even if some toner has not been removed by the Cleaning Roller but remained on the -630V area of Drum (It corresponds to the white area of the print) in the later [3.1.2.7 Drum Cleaning], this toner is removed at the time of Development because it moves to the Developer Roller of which potential (-230V) is higher than that of Drum (-630V).
  • Page 28 3. 1. 2. 5 Transfer The printing paper is charged positively as the Transfer Corona discharges positive electric charges from under the paper. The toner existing on the -20V area on the Drum will move to the printing paper because the potential of the paper comes to be higher than the Drum by the Transfer Process.
  • Page 29 3. 1. 2. 6 Separation The printing paper is attracted to the Drum after the Transfer because the potential of paper is positive and that of Drum is negative. It is necessary for avoiding the jam to separate the paper from the Drum by removing the static force between them.
  • Page 30 3. 1. 2. 7 Drum Cleaning (Removal of remained toner) Some amount of toner that has not been transferred onto the printing paper is remaining on the Drum. This remained toner will be removed by the Cleaning Roller. The Cleaning Roller is supplied with +450V (+/-5V), and there are some negative electric charges on the Drum at this time.
  • Page 31 3. 1. 2. 8 Fusing After Transfer / Separation Processes, the printing paper is transported to the Fuser Unit. The Fuser Unit mainly consists of the Fuser Roller and the Pressure Roller. The Fuser Roller is very hot, and the Pressure Roller is strongly pressed to the Fuser Roller by the spring.
  • Page 32 3. 1. 3 Controlling the movement of toner in the Developer Unit There are 3 kinds of rollers called “Developer Roller”, “Regulation Roller” and “Toner Supply Roller” in the Developer Unit. Each roller is supplied with its own voltage. In the following list, the voltage of the Developer Roller (-230V) is measured against the ground. The other voltages mean the difference against the voltage of Developer Roller Bias.
  • Page 33 Taking advantage of the difference of potentials among these rollers, the movement of toner is controlled in the Developer Unit as follows. 1. The Toner Supply Roller carries the toner toward the Developer Roller. 2. When the toner reaches the contact point of these rollers, therefore, it moves onto the Developer Roller.
  • Page 34 5. The voltage of both sides of Regulation Roller is 0V as these parts are connected to the ground. It is higher than that of Developer Roller (-230V). When the toner reaches the contact point of these rollers, therefore, it moves onto the Regulation Roller.
  • Page 35 3. 1. 4 Toner Collection Process As explained in [3.1.2.7 Drum Cleaning], the Cleaning Roller is supplied with +450V to remove the remained toner from the Drum during the print cycle. This toner gathered by the Cleaning Roller is returned to the Developer Unit in the following 3 cases.
  • Page 36 3. The voltage supplied to the Developer Roller is also changed to +350V (+/-5V) in the Toner Collection Process. As the potential of Developer Roller becomes higher than that of Drum, toner on the Drum moves onto the Developer Roller. Then the toner is carried into the Developer Unit by both the Developer Roller and the Toner Supply Roller.
  • Page 37 Reference Voltages supplied to Regulation Roller and Toner Supply Roller are changed also as follows. Name of roller Supplied voltage Developer Roller +350V +/-5V against the ground Regulation Roller -80V +/-5V against the Developer Roller Bias (Center) Regulation Roller 0V (Ground) (Both sides) Toner Supply Roller Same voltage with the Developer Roller Bias...
  • Page 38 3. 1. 5 Density Compensation Process On rare occasion, loss of image density may occur under a special usage. KIP 770 has the ability to reduce such loss of image density and this enables to maintain a satisfactory image quality regardless of the machine usage.

  • Page 40 Positioning process of Image Block The scanner part of KIP 770 reads the image of original with 5 - CIS (Contact Image Sensor). As these CIS are arranged in 2 rows, there occurs a vertical gap of image among the image blocks.
