Page 16 5. STORAGE AND HANDLING OF EP-ED CARTRIDGES An EP-ED cartridge is influenced by the storage conditions even if it is sealed in its package, so its life depends on the way in which it is used or stored. EP-ED cartridges should be handled carefully.
Page 17: Theory Of Operation
CHAPTER II THEORY OF OPERATION This chapter describes the printer functions, the relationship between the electrical systems and mechanical systems, and the timing of operations. Striped conduits ( ) indicate mechanical linkages; solid thin arrows ( ) appearing with a signal name indicate the transmission of single control signals and outlined thick arrows ( ) indicate the transmission of groups of signals.
Page 18: Main Drive
1.2 Main Drive The power necessary for driving the printer is supplied by the main motor, the paper feed motor and the scanner motor. The main motor is controlled by the main motor drive signal (MDRIVE) output from the main PCB, and the paper feed motor is controlled by the paper feed motor drive signal output from the main PCB, and the scanner motor is controlled by the scanner motor drive signal (SDRIVE) output from the main PCB.

Page 21: Image Formation System
3. IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM 3.1 Outline The image formation system is the main part of the printer. The print information, after input from the video controller circuit into the engine controller circuit as a TVDO signal, forms a toner image on the photosensitive drum.

Page 23 Step 1 Primary charge Primary charging roller AC bias Photosensitive drum DC bias Figure 2.9 As preparation for latent image formation, a uniform negative potential is applied to the photosensitive drum surface. The printer uses the charging method that directly charges the drum for the primary charge.
Page 24 3.2.2 Developing stage Development places particles of toner onto the areas of the drum that have been cleared of charge by the laser beam. This makes a visible image. This printer uses the toner projection development method with a single-component toner. Step 3 Development Blade...
Page 25 3.2.3 Transfer stage In the transfer stage, the toner image is transferred from the drum surface to the paper. Step 4 Transfer Photo- sensitive Paper drum Transfer charging roller Figure 2.13 A positive charge applied to the back of the paper attracts the negatively charged toner particles to the paper.
Page 26 3.2.4 Fixing stage The toner image transferred to the paper in the transfer stage is held only by electrostatic attraction and slight physical adhesion, so even a light touch will smear the image. In the fixing stage, the toner image is fixed by heating the paper and applying pressure. This fuses the toner particles to the paper to make a permanent image.
Page 27 3.3 Operation When the engine controller circuit receives a print signal (PRINT) or a pre-feed signal (PRFD) from the video controller circuit, the engine controller circuit drives the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum. After the drum surface is charged negatively by the primary charge roller, the laser beam modulated by a DATA signal scans the drum surface to from a latent image on the drum.
Page 28 4. PAPER PICK-UP/FEED SYSTEM 4.1 Outline If a tray1 paper pick-up roller solenoid drive signal (PUCL1) is input to the circuit while the paper feed motor is rotating, the paper pick-up solenoid comes on and the paper pick-up roller solenoid is engaged.
Page 29 4.2 Cassette Feed When the fixing rollers reach the specified temperature while a cassette with paper is in the printer, the READY lamp changes from flashing to lighting. When the engine controller circuit receives PRNT or PRFD signal from the video controller circuit, the paper feed motor starts rotation.
Page 30 4.3 MP Tray Feed The timing of the MP tray feed is identical to the timing of the cassette paper feed except for the following points: (1) The paper empty sensors are different. Cassette feed : Tray1 paper empty sensor MP tray feed : MP tray paper empty sensor The pick-up roller solenoids are different.
Page 31 4.4 Paper Jam Detection The printer has a registration sensor and a paper eject sensor at the paper outlet to detect whether the printed paper has been fed correctly. A paper jam is detected by whether the paper is present at the sensor at the check periods programmed in the engine CPU memory. If the engine CPU detects a paper jam, the main motor, paper feed motor and scanner motor is turned off immediately and the jam status is transmitted to the video controller circuit.
