    CHAPTER 1 V. INSTALLATION A. Precautions 1) This product has been carefully adjusted and strictly inspected before packing and shipping. To make the operation as intended, it is important to install it correctly. Service engineers must understand the performance of the printer sufficiently, install it in the appropriate environment with proper procedures, and operate the necessary checks.
  • Page 16: B. Storage And Handling Of

    CHAPTER 1 B. Storage and Handling of EP-22 Cartridge As time passes, the natural environment will change the cartridge, whether sealed or installed in the printer, or regardless of the number of prints. The progression of this natural change depends largely on the storage and installation environment, therefore, take special care on stor- age and handling the cartridge.
  • Page 17 CHAPTER 1 c. Notes on Handling of Cartridge 1) Before installing a new EP-22 cartridge in the printer, hold the cartridge at both sides as shown below, and gently slop it at about 45° right-up and left-up 5 or 6 times to distribute toner evenly.

    CHAPTER 2 OPERATION AND TIMING 1. This chapter describes the printer functions, the relationships between mechanisms and cir- cuits, and the timing of operations. Mechanical linkages are indicated by black and white lines ( ), the flow of control signals by solid arrows ( ), and the flow of groups of signals by outline arrows ( 2.
  • Page 75: Basic Operation

    CHAPTER 2 I. BASIC OPERATION A. Functions Printer functions can be divided into five groups: the video control system, the engine control system, the image formation system, the laser/scanner system, and the paper pick-up/feed sys- tem. VIDEO CONTROL SYSTEM To external device (host computer, etc.) Interface controller PCB LASER/SCANNER SYSTEM ENGINE CONTROL...
  • Page 76 CHAPTER 2 B. Basic Operation Sequence The operation sequence of this printer is controlled by the microcomputer on the engine con- troller PCB. The purpose of each period from that the printer is turned ON until that the main motor stops rotating after completion of printing is stated below. Refer to the appendix for the detailed timing chart.
  • Page 77 CHAPTER 2 C. Power-ON Sequence The sequence from power-ON until the printer enters the STANDBY mode is as follows: 1) Power-ON 2) CPU initialization 3) Start of the video interface communication 0.5 seconds after the status command signal (/SC) turns "H", the video interface communi- cation is ready for operation.
  • Page 78: Engine Control System

    CHAPTER 2 II. ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM A. Engine Controller PCB 1. Outline The operation sequence of the printer is controlled by the CPU on the engine controller PCB. When the printer is turned ON and enters the STANDBY mode, the CPU outputs signals to drive loads, such as the laser diode, motors, and solenoids, based on the pick-up command and image data input from the interface controller.
  • Page 79 CHAPTER 2 2. Operations a. CPU (IC201) The CPU intstalled in this printer is an 8-bit single-chip microcomputer. This CPU is a single-chip CPU with a built-in ROM and RAM and controls the following print- er operations based on the control program stored in the ROM. 1) Printer sequence control 2) Video interface control 3) High-voltage power supply circuit control...

  • Page 82 CHAPTER 2 B. Fixing Control Circuit 1. Fixing temperature control A plate-shaped fixing heater is installed in the fixing film unit to heat the fixing film. The fixing heater temperature is detected by the thermistor (TH701) on the fixing heater. As the temperature of the fixing heater rises, the resistance of TH701 drops, and the voltage of the FIXING HEATER TEMPERATURE DETECTION signal (FSRTH) decreases.
  • Page 83 CHAPTER 2 2. Fixing heater safety circuit This circuit is located on the engine controller PCB and always monitors the abnormal rise of the fixing temperature. When the output voltage from the thermistor falls below about 0.6V (240°C) due to the ele- vation of the fixing heater temperature, the output of the comparator (IC302) becomes “L”...

  • Page 85 CHAPTER 2 2. Operation a. Generation of voltage applied to primary charging roller When the pick-up command is sent from the interface controller, the INITIAL ROTATION period (INTR) starts, and the PRIMARY HIGH VOLTAGE (AC) DRIVE signal (PRACC) is input to the pri- mary high-voltage circuit via the power operational amplifier.
  • Page 86 CHAPTER 2 D. Low-voltage Power Supply Circuit 1. Outline The AC voltage input from the inlet is converted to the DC voltage in the rectification circuit, transformer, and power supply circuits, and then supplied to the printer as +24VDC, +5VDC, and +3.3VDC.
  • Page 87 CHAPTER 2 2. Protective function The power supply circuits of +24VDC and +5VDC are equipped with overcurrent/overvoltage protective functions. These protective functions automatically shut off the output voltage to pro- tect the circuits when overcurrent or abnormal voltage results from troubles such as a short on load.
  • Page 88 CHAPTER 2 E. Video Interface 1. Outline Unlike the conventional video interface, which uses an individual signal line for each signal exchanged between the interface controller and engine controller, this printer uses command status. This section describes the kinds of interface signals between the engine controller and inter- face controller, and gives information of the sequence of printer operation using the interface sig- nals.
  • Page 89 CHAPTER 2 2. Operation When the power is switched ON, the printer enters the WAIT mode. When the printer is ready for operation after the WAIT period, the engine controller sends the ready status to the interface controller to notify that the printer is ready. On receiving the ready status, the interface controller sends the pick-up command to the engine controller.
  • Page 90: Laser/Scanner System

    CHAPTER 2 III. LASER/SCANNER SYSTEM A. Outline The microcomputer (CPU:201) on the engine controller sends the LASER CONTROL signals (CNT0, CNT1) to the laser driver (IC801) on the laser driver PCB. The VIDEO signals (/VDO, VDO) from the interface controller are sent to the laser driver (IC801) on the laser driver PCB through the engine controller.

  • Page 96: Image Formation System

    CHAPTER 2 IV. IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM A. Outline The image formation system is the main part of the printer, and consists of the photosensitive drum, developing unit, charging roller, etc. When a pick-up command is sent from the interface controller to the engine controller, the engine controller drives the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum, developing cylinder, primary charging roller, and transfer charging roller.
  • Page 97: Print Process

    CHAPTER 2 B. Print Process The major portion of the image formation system is contained in a cartridge as shown in Figure 2-4-2.

The center voltage of the AC bias (1460 Vp-p) varies with the developing DC bias. This printer changes the developing DC bias according to the IMAGE DENSITY DATA signal sent from the interface controller.

Fixing stage As the toner image transferred onto the paper in the transfer stage is held to the paper only by the static electricity, even a light touch will smear the image. The toner particles are fused to the paper to make an permanent image by applying pressure and heat to the paper and the toner.

    CHAPTER 2 V. PICK-UP/FEED SYSTEM A. Outline The printer is equipped with two pick-up sources, the multi-purpose tray and the manual feed slot. Whether or not the multi-purpose tray and the manual feed slot are loaded with paper is detected by the paper-out sensor (PS003). The main motor (M001) starts rotating in about 0.5 seconds after the engine controller receives a pick-up command from the interface controller.
  • Page 105 CHAPTER 2 In the specified period of time after the paper reaches the paper top sensor (PS002), the engine controller sends the /BD signal to the interface controller. The interface controller sends the VIDEO signal to the engine controller based on the /BD signal to form an image on the pho- tosensitive drum.

    CHAPTER 2 B. Jam Detection The following paper sensors are provided to detect whether paper is present and whether the paper is fed correctly: • Paper top sensor (PS002) • Paper delivery sensor (PS201) The CPU determines whether paper jam has occurred by checking for the presence of paper in the sensor at the timing stored in the CPU.
