Page 35 Paper Eject The completion of paper eject is detected in the following manner: When the leading edge of the paper pushes down the eject sensor actuator located in the fixing unit, the photo sensor (photo interrupter) is opened and detects the start of paper eject. When the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the paper eject sensor actuator, the photo sensor is closed and the completion of paper eject is recognized.

2.2.2 Sensors Cover Sensor Detects opening and closing of the top cover. Top Cover Cover Switch Fig. 2-24 Toner Empty Sensor Detects if there is toner in the toner cartridge. It also detects whether or not the drum unit is installed. (The toner cartridge is installed in the drum unit). Toner Empty Sensor Fig.
Page 37: Drum Unit
2.2.3 Drum Unit Photosensitive Drum Generates the latent electrostatic image and develops the image on the drum surface. Primary Charger Forms a uniform charge on the drum surface. Corona wire Generates the ion charge on the drum. Grid Spreads the ion charge evenly over the drum surface. Development Roller Develops the latent electrostatic image on the drum surface by the addition of the toner.
Page 38 Exposure Stage After the drum is positively charged, it is exposed to the light emitted from the laser unit. Laser Beam Drum Paper Laser beam f lens Laser detector Polygon mirror Laser diode Motor Lens Fig. 2-27 The area exposed to the laser beam is the image to be printed. The surface potential of the exposed area is reduced, forming the electrostatic image to be printed.
Page 39 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller (which is also made of conductive sponge) rotate against each other.
Page 40 Drum Cleaning Stage In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper but some remains on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed and collected on the cleaning roller itself.

CHAPTER IV MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING INTRODUCTION Initial Check Operating environment Check if : • The source voltage stays within ±10% from the rated voltage shown on the rating plate. • The printer is installed on a solid, level surface. • The room temperature is maintained between 10°C and 32.5°C. The relative humidity is maintained between 20% and 80%.
Page 71: Basic Procedure
• Condensation on the corona unit may cause corona charge leakage. • Condensation on the hopper gate and separation pad may cause paper feed troubles. If condensation has occurred, wipe the effected units or parts with a dry cloth or leave the printer for 2 hours to allow it to reach room temperature.
