Safety Information To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe Power Supply the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dangerous or not within the scope of this document. Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Mechanical Components Safety Components If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power The printer is equipped with safety components (e.g., interlock and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly. switches, fuses, thermostat) and safety switches for protecting users and service personnel from injury and the equipment from damage.
Page 8 o Exit Chute Switch This switch is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Exit Upper Assembly (the cover on the upper left side of the printer) is opened. o P/J91 (Connector that connects the Main Harness Assembly and Registration Harness Assembly) This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts.

Page 62: Print Process
EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B 2.1 Print Process 2.1.1 Print Process Overview Transfer This is a full-color laser printer using the Xerographic process. This process forms an image of toner (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Black) on the surface of the drum. The image of one color is then transferred onto the IBT Belt Assembly (Belt).
Page 63: Print Process - Major Components
EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B 2.1.2 Print Process - Major Components The major components of the printer are shown in the figure below. NOTE: In this document Developer Assembly Y, Developer Assembly M, Developer Assembly C, and Developer Assembly Bk are termed Developer Assembly.

Page 66: Development
EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev.

In rotary development, four Developer Assemblies rotate in sequence;...
Page 67 EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B o As the printer prints more pages, the toner in the developer decreases. To maintain proper developer density, it is necessary to resupply toner to the Developer Assembly from the Toner Cartridge. This is called ‘Toner Dispensing.’ The Toner Dispensing mechanism uses two types of controls (PCDC and ADC).
Page 68 EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B o The carrier looses its electrical charges. This occurs because the surface of a carrier particle may be covered with a toner particle or may be damaged by agitation. To maintain the electrical charge of carrier particles, a small amount of carrier is mixed in the toner;...

EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B 2.1.3.4 (4) First Transfer (Drum Belt) In the first transfer step, the toner image formed on the drum surface is transferred onto the belt (Transfer Assembly) by the 1st BTR (First Bias Transfer Roll). o The 1st BTR is a conductive roll, receiving positive high voltage from the HVPS.

EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B 2.1.3.6 (6) Repeat (Forming a complete full-color toner image) In the Repeat step (forming a complete full-color toner image), the toner image of each color on the drum surface is transferred onto the belt and is repeated four times, resulting in a complete full-color toner image on the belt.
Page 72 EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B 2.1.3.7 (7) Second Transfer (Belt Paper) In the Second Transfer step, the complete image on the belt is transferred onto the paper. This is done by supplying voltage to the Contact Roll, Back Up Roll and 2nd BTR (Second Bias Transfer Roll).
Page 73 EPSON EPL-C8000 Rev. B o In the Repeat step (forming a complete full-color toner image), the toner image is transferred onto the belt from the drum surface four times. If, during these transfers, the 2nd BTR is touching the belt, the toner image created up to this point will be destroyed.
