5016-001 Intermediate Transfer Unit Function of the intermediate transfer unit The intermediate transfer unit consists of the transfer belt, belt cleanser and waster toner bottle in which cleaned toner is collected. The transfer belt is made of an electrically conductive resin. The toner image, when placed on the organic photoconductor (OPC) drum is transferred onto the transfer belt by an electric field.
Page 49
5016-001 The waste toner bottle is partitioned and collected toner is transferred into respective partitions in order. When the bottle is filled to capacity, it is detected by the waste toner bottle full sensor. The cleaner consists of the discharge roller, cleaning roller, blade and toner transport coil.
Page 50
5016-001 Operation of the drive for the intermediate transfer unit The belt gear is rotated by the belt drive gear, rotating the transfer belt. At the same time the cleaning roller and discharge roller are rotated by the timing belt and gear. The cleaner lever is shifted by a pin and the cleaning roller is detached from the transfer belt.
5016-001 Fuser/Paper Exit Unit Operation of the fuser and paper exit When the power switch is turned on the fuser lamp is turned on by the low voltage power supply while the hot roll begins to heat. When the hot roll reaches approximately 170 degrees C the fuser drive motor is turns on and the backup roll, hot roll and paper exit rollers start turning.
5016-001 Detecting New Cleaning Unit Detecting the cleaning unit in the Fuser Assembly A thermal fuse is attached on the contact point A in the cleaner unit. When the cleaner unit is placed inside the fuser unit, contact A contacts contact B. The circuit is then complete through the thermal fuse.
5016-001 Duplex Unit (Option) One side print The print fed by the paper feed rollers in tray 1 in the printer and in the second paper feed unit is halted temporarily at the timing roller for registration. The paper then passes through the transfer unit, in which the image is formed, and is fused in the fuser assembly.
Page 54
5016-001 Two sided print When the printer has been set for two sided print mode and start is pressed the following occurs: When the setting is two pages. The paper feed roller in the printer starts rotating. The paper is transported by the timing roller and the back page is printed.
Page 55
5016-001 When the trailing edge of the paper passes through the reverse sensor filler (S4], the motor rotates in the reverse direction transporting the paper in reverse. The print is transported to the timing roller in the printer through the rollers in the curved area, the skew correction mechanism and the paper feed roller.
Page 56
5016-001 When the setting is four pages The back page of the first printed page is printed after Print Start is pressed. The print is received in the upper unit through the above step and then halted when it reaches the paper exit sensor [S5] through the storage, reverse and skew correction mechanisms in the lower unit.
