Page 48: Fixing Control
CHAPTER 2 B. Fixing Control 1. Fixing temperature control The fixing film unit contains a fixing heater of a flat stick shape, which heats the fixing film. The temperature of the fixing heater is detected by the thermistor (TH901) on the fixing heater.
Page 49 CHAPTER 2 The printer does not supply power to the fixing heater in the STANDBY mode. The CPU detects the temperature of thermistor based on the FSRTH signal when the /PRNT signal is input and right before the main motor is driven. If it is below the specified tempera- ture, at the same time as the main motor rotation reaches the specified speed, the CPU rises the temperature to the specified value.
Page 50 CHAPTER 2 2. Fixing heater safety circuit This circuit is located on the engine controller PCB, and constantly monitors the abnormal rise of fixing temperature. In case of abnormality, the output from this circuit turns OFF the relay (RL101) and inter- rupts the power to the fixing heater.
Page 51 CHAPTER 2 c. Heater broken wire detection The CPU detects heater broken wire in the following cases and assesses warm-up error or abnor- mally low temperature. 1) The thermistor, in the low-temperature detection mode, does not rise +10 C from the initial temperature within about 2.5 seconds after the heater is turned ON.

Page 70 CHAPTER 2 1. Electrostatic latent image formation block This block follows two steps to produce an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum. When Step 2 of this block is completed, negative charge remains in the unexposed “dark” areas; however, those in the exposed “light” areas are eliminated. This image of negative charges on the drum is invisible to the human eye, so it is called an “electrostatic latent image.”...
Page 71 CHAPTER 2 Step 2: Laser beam exposure Laser beam Unexposed area Exposed area Figure 2-4-7 When the laser beam scans the drum surface, it causes the charges in the areas struck by the laser beam to be neutralized. These areas on the drum surface form the electrostatic latent image.
Page 72 CHAPTER 2 As shown in Figure 2-4-8, the developing unit consists of a fixed magnet, a developing cylinder and a rubber blade. The developing cylinder rotates around the fixed imagnet. The single-component toner consists of magnetite and a resin binder, and is held to the cylin- der by magnetic attraction.

Page 79: Cassette Pick-Up
CHAPTER 2 C. Cassette Pick-up a. Outline When the video controller inputs the /PRNT signal to the engine controller, the main motor (M1) starts rotation. When the main motor reaches its prescribed speed, the feed roller clutch (CL101) and cassette pick-up solenoid (SL101) are turned ON. As a result, the cassette pick-up roller, cassette feed roller, separation roller and feed rollers are driven by the main motor rota- tion.
Page 80 CHAPTER 2 Figure 2-5-3 2 - 42...
Page 81 CHAPTER 2 b. Multi-feed prevention mechanism When picking up the paper from the cassette, the printer uses the separation roller to prevent multi-feeding. Normally, the separation roller is imparted with a rotational force in the same direction as that of the feed roller. However, since the separation roller is equipped with a torque limiter, it rotates with feed roller by transmission of its rotational force via the transported paper.
Page 82: Multi-Purpose Tray Pick-Up
CHAPTER 2 D. Multi-purpose Tray Pick-up The presence of paper on the multi-purpose tray is detected by the multi-purpose tray paper sensor (PS105). When the engine controller receives the /PRNT signal from the video controller, the printer starts the initial rotation. When the initial rotation ends (main motor warm-up, scanner motor warm-up, high-voltage control sequence, and fixing unit warm-up are completed), the multi- purpose tray pick-up solenoid (SL102) is turned ON.

Page 84: Fixing And Delivery Unit
CHAPTER 2 E. Fixing and Delivery Unit The pressure roller and delivery roller in the fixing unit are driven by the main motor (M1). The paper separated from the photosensitive drum is fed into the fixing unit by the feed belt. The toner is fused onto the paper by the fixing film and the pressure roller, and the paper is delivered from the fixing unit.

Page 106: Duplexing Unit
CHAPTER 2 IX. DUPLEXING UNIT A. Outline The operation sequences of the duplexing unit are controlled by the duplexing unit driver. A 4- bit microprocessor is used in the duplexing unit driver, which controls the sequences of the duplexing unit and the serial communication with the engine controller of the printer. The duplexing unit driver drives the solenoid, motors, and fan according to the duplexing unit command and the duplexing unit pick-up command sent from the engine controller.

Page 110 CHAPTER 2 2. Reversing When the duplexing unit receives the duplexing unit command from the printer, it turns ON the duplexing unit solenoid (SL701), moves the face-up deflector and feeds the paper to the duplex- ing unit. It also rotates the reversing motor (M701) in the reverse direction (CCW) for about 1 second, and feeds the paper remaining in the reversing unit to the duplexing unit pick-up sen- sor (PS701).
Page 111 CHAPTER 2 3. Duplexing unit pick-up When the /PRNT signal is sent to the engine controller from the video controller, the main motor (M1) of the printer starts rotation. When the main motor rotation reaches its prescribed speed, the engine controller turns ON the feed roller clutch (CL101) of the printer and sends the duplex- ing unit pick-up command to the duplexing unit driver.
Page 112: Paper Jam Detection
CHAPTER 2 C. Paper Jam Detection The following paper sensors are installed to detect whether the paper is present or not and whether the paper is fed normally or not. • Reversed paper sensor (PS703) • Duplexing unit pick-up sensor (PS701) The microprocessor (CPU) determines whether paper is jammed or not by checking whether paper is present or absent at the sensors at check timing stored in the memory.
Page 113 CHAPTER 3 THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM This chapter describes mechanical operation as well as disassembly and reassembly procedures of the printer. Note the following precautions during disassembly or reassembly. 1. When you remove the EP-52 cartridge, cover the cartridge with a cloth or put it in a dark place to prevent light from affecting the drum inside the cartridge.

CHAPTER 4 VII. MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT A. Mechanical Adjustment 1. Checking the nip width of the pressure roller The fixing unit is not designed to allow adjustment of the pressure (nip width); however, the incorrect nip width can cause fixing problems. Follow the procedures below to check the nip width: 1) Make an all-black print of A4 size using an EP-52 cartridge, and take the print to the cus- tomer’s site.
Page 197 CHAPTER 4 2. Adjusting the installation position of separation guide of envelope feeder (adjustment of gap between separation guide and lower separation roller) Normally, the separation guide and the top cover must be removed as one. However, if only the separation guide has been removed for unavoidable reason, or it needs to be replaced due to deformation, make the adjustment as shown below.
Page 198 CHAPTER 4 3. Adjusting the installation position of envelope multiple feed sensor The installation position of envelope multiple feed sensor is normally adjusted at the factory. However, if the screw which hold the sensor is removed or accidentally loosened for replacement of the sensor or its peripheral parts, the installation position of envelope multiple feed sensor must be adjusted correctly.
