5024-001 Printer Systems Description See the illustration “Printer Component Systems” on page 1-17, for more information. Basic Principles of Color Printing Color printing is made through the subtractive process of combining the three primary colors, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Mechanical and Electrical Structures The 5024 color laser printer consists of five engineering systems: print, transfer, optical, paper transport, and control system.
Page 46
5024-001 Optical System The optical system consists of two functional parts that forms an electrostatic latent image on the OPC belt using a laser light. Optical unit Scanner motor (SCM) Paper Transport System The paper transport system consists of five functional parts that picks up paper from the paper cassette, separates the transported paper from the transfer drum, and exits it from the printer after fusing the toner image on the paper.
5024-001 Basic Process of Color Printing 1. The 5024 printer has a toner cartridge for each color — yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. 2. The toner image is developed with the primary colors and then transferred to the transfer drum for the color combination. 3.
5024-001 Print System and Transfer System This illustration shows the basic structure of the print system having the OPC belt as a main function, and the transfer system including the transfer drum. A color print is accomplished by actuating each process in the print system and the transfer system.
5024-001 Structure of OPC Belt (Photo Developer Cartridge) The OPC belt consists of a surface layer having an optical photoconductor (OPC) of organic material, the inner layer consists of an insulator material (PET), and the aluminum deposit layer in between. The OPC belt is a main part of the print system. 1-20 Service Manual...
5024-001 Basic Structure of the Print System 1. The print system process consists of the following: a. The OPC belt is biased to the voltage -CBV(V) by the power supply CBV. b. Negative high voltage is applied to the charger unit by the power supply CHV, and the corona is generated as a result.
Page 52
5024-001 2. Variation of the OPC belt potential. a. The OPC belt is biased to -CBV(V). b. The OPC belt surface is evenly charged to -Vo(V) in the charging process. c. During the exposing process, the optical unit emits a laser beam that strikes the OPC belt surface forming an electrostatic image.
5024-001 Details of the Print System Charging Process In the charging process, the OPC belt is evenly charged by the charger. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 charger unit location. The charger unit consists of a case, corona wire, and grid. 1.
Page 54
5024-001 2. Before charging, the OPC belt surface is -CBV(V). The charger unit evenly charges the OPC belt surface to -Vo(V) by generating a negative charge. 1-24 Service Manual...
5024-001 Exposing Process In the exposing process, the OPC belt surface is exposed to the laser light which forms an electrostatic latent image. The luminous source of the laser is a semiconductor laser. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for optical unit location.
5024-001 Developing Process In the developing process, an electrostatic latent image becomes visible on the OPC belt using the printer toner. There are four toner cartridges in the 5024 printer. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for toner cartridges location. The toner cartridges are located in the printer from top to bottom in the color order of black, yellow, magenta and cyan.
Page 57
5024-001 The first illustration shows the relationship between the toner, the -Vo(V) at the non-exposed area of the OPC belt and the -VR(V) at the exposed area of the OPC belt. 3. Developing is processed by toner adhering to the OPC belt due to the attraction between the toner and the -VR(V) at the exposed area of OPC belt.
5024-001 First Transfer (Drum) Process The first transfer process consists of toner images on the OPC belt being transferred to the transfer drum. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for transfer drum location. Note: Semiconductor rubber is attached to the drum surface. 1.
Page 59
5024-001 3. Toner on the OPC belt is moved to the transfer drum This is due to the difference of potential between the OPC belt and the transfer drum. Toner that has been developed, in each color, is moved from the OPC belt to the transfer drum, and the two color toner image is overlapped on the transfer drum.
5024-001 Belt Discharge (Erase Lamp) Process In the belt discharge process, an LED light radiating on the OPC belt discharges the residual charge -VR(V) preparing it for electrical belt cleaning. The erase lamp is a luminous source of 24 pieces of light emitting diodes (LED).
5024-001 Belt Cleaning Process In the belt cleaning process, left behind residual toner adhering to the OPC belt surface is mechanically removed by a blade edge. The removed residual toner is collected in a waste toner container located by the waste toner feeder. 1-31 General Information...
5024-001 Details of the Transfer System Second Transfer (Paper) Process In the second transfer process, the toner image on the transfer drum is transferred to paper. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for second transfer roller location. The transfer roller, normally separated from the transfer drum, is positively biased by the power supply THV.
5024-001 Paper Discharging Process In the paper discharging process, the paper, with the image transferred, is separated from the transfer drum by applying an AC charge to the paper. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for paper discharge location. The AC charger unit, consisting of a case and charger wire, has high alternating voltage (VAC) injected into it.
5024-001 Drum Cleaner Process In the drum cleaner process, the residual toner on the surface of the transfer drum is removed after the paper transfer process. See “Printer Theory of Operation” on page 1-14 for drum cleaner unit location. The drum cleaner brush is a semiconductor type fur brush (positively self-biased by positive voltage FCBV(V)) which cleans the surface of the rotating transfer drum.
5024-001 Details of the Optical System In the optical system process, the printer utilizes a semiconductor laser diode as a light source. This laser diode is controlled by fast switching which matches the transmitted image data (video signal). The generated laser light scans the OPC belt through a polygon mirror and lens.

5024-001 Laser Drive Control Circuit The laser drive control circuit (LDC) consists of a video signal input circuit, laser drive circuit, laser diode, output sensing circuits and output control circuit. See the illustration. 1. When the video signal is received, the laser drive control circuit switches the laser diode switch on and radiates according to the video signal.
5024-001 Interface Control Interface Type The printer controller acts in conjunction to the LPC. Through the video interface, the LPC controls the printer and operator panel using command/status communication and transmits the synchronized video data to the printer laser diode. The operator panel is physically resident on the engine.
5024-001 Lower Feed Unit Theory of Operation The lower feed unit is used for two purposes: 1. Provide paper to the printer 2. Provide paper, from the duplex unit, to re-enter the print cycle The lower feed unit has a paper size detection mechanism which has a size lever in Tray 2 and a size sensor (PSL) in the lower feed unit.
5024-001 Duplex Theory of Operation The duplex unit allows the printer to print on both sides of a sheet of paper. The duplex unit uses two motors to move the paper from the paper exit of the printer through the duplex unit. The paper is fed back into the printer through the attached lower feed unit.
