Since the condensation can cause various troubles including print defects, in such a case, leave it in the carton at room temperature for at least an hour so that it is acclimatized to room temperature.
  • Page 21 CHAPTER 1 be sure to power OFF both the printer and host computer, and to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the connector is plugged/unplugged while the printer is ON, it may break the printer down. c. When installing and uninstalling the Adobe PostScript Module A-32, flash ROM, or Expansion RAM DIMM (all of these are options), be sure to switch OFF the printer.
  • Page 22 CHAPTER 1 D. Storing, Handling the EP-32 cartridge Whether the cartridge is still sealed in its box or installed in the printer, the effect of the natur- al environment will change it over time regardless of the number of prints. As the progression of this natural change depends on the storage or installation environment, take sufficient care in storing and handling the cartridges.
  • Page 23 CHAPTER 1 b. Effective life Cartridges are effective for 2.5 years following the date of manufacture, which is displayed in an abbreviated form on the cartridge. The cartridge life span is also displayed (month and year) on the cartridge box as 2.5 years from the date of manufacture. Cartridges should be used within their life spans, as image quality will deteriorate after the expiry date.

    CHAPTER 2 D. Low-voltage Power Supply Circuit 1. Outline AC power is supplied to the low-voltage power supply circuit in the engine controller when the power switch (SW201) is turned ON. The low-voltage power supply circuit supplies +24VDC and +3.3VDC required for the printer. +24VDC is supplied to the high-voltage power supply circuit and to drive the main motor, scanner motor, fan, etc..
  • Page 49: Video Interface Control

    CHAPTER 2 E. Video Interface Control 1. Outline The video controller continually monitors the printer by communicating with the engine con- troller using the video interface. The video controller outputs the video signal through the video interface when the printer is ready to print. The engine controller draw an image on the photosensitive drum by turning the laser ON/OFF based on the video signal output from the video controller, and then transfer the image onto paper to output it.
  • Page 50 CHAPTER 2 2. Operation Unlike the conventional video interface, which uses an individual signal line for exchanges of each main signal, the video interface of this printer uses command status. When sending/receiving status and commands, the engine controller and video controller use bi-directional STATUS COMMAND signal (SC) and synchronize data with the SERIAL CLOCK signal (SCLK) output from the video controller.

    CHAPTER 2 IV. IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM A. Outline The image formation system is the central hub of the printer, and consists of the photosensitive drum, developing unit, and charging roller, etc.. When a print instruction command is sent from the video controller, the engine controller dri- ves the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum, primary charging roller, developing cylin- der, and transfer charging roller.

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. The image of negative charges on the drum is invisible to the human eye, so it is called an “electrostatic latent image.”...
  • Page 62 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 area struck by the laser beam to be neutralized. These areas on the drum surface form the electrostatic latent image.
  • Page 63 CHAPTER 2 As shown in Figure 2-4-8, the developing unit consists of the developing cylinder and rubber blade. The developing cylinder consists of the fixed magnet and cylinder which rotates around the magnet. The single-component toner consists of magnetite and a resin binder, and is held to the cylin- der by magnetic attraction.

    CHAPTER 2 V. PICK-UP/FEED SYSTEM A. Outline Presence of paper on the multi-purpose tray is detected by the multi-purpose tray paper sensor (PS504). Presence of paper in the cassette is detected by the cassette paper sensor (PS501). When a print instruction command is input to the engine controller from the video controller, the main motor (M1001) and scanner motor start rotating and the fixing heater temperature control starts.

  • Page 68 CHAPTER 2 The paper reaches the registration roller after its skew is corrected by hitting the registration shutter. The engine controller sends the /BD signal to the video controller in a specified period of time after the top-of-page sensor (PS502) detects the leading edge of the paper. The /BD signal of this printer functions as both VERTICAL SYNC and HORIZONTAL SYNC signals, and is output to the video controller for a period of time corresponding to the paper length.
  • Page 69: Fixing And Delivery Unit

    CHAPTER 2 B. Fixing and Delivery Unit The pressure roller and delivery roller in the fixing unit are driven by the main motor (M1001). 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.

    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. • Top-of-page sensor (PS502) • Delivery sensor (PS503) The CPU determines if a paper jam has occurred by checking for the presence of paper in the sensor at the timing stored in the CPU.
