Flash ROM 8 megabits of flash ROM (MBM29F800TA-70) which stores PU programs. EEPROM 4 kilobits of EEPROM (NM93C66N-NW) which is mounted on the board with an IC socket and stores correction values. Pulse Motor Driver The pulse motor driver (A2918, A2919, A3955) drives nine pulse motors to revolve the EP and carry media.
2.4.1 Electrophotographic process Electrophotographic process The following is the outline of electrophotographic process: 1 Charging DC voltage is applied to the charging roller and the surface of the OPC drum is negatively and evenly charged. 2 Exposure The LED head, under image signals, emits light to the negatively charged surface of the OPC drum.
Page 18
Charging Negative DC voltage is applied to the charging roller contacting the surface of the OPC drum. Power Charging roller Unit OPC drum Exposure The negatively charged surface of the OPC drum is radiated with light from the LED head. The negative charge of the radiated portions of the drum surface attenuates in response to the intensity of the light and a latent electrostatic image responsive to the potentials of the surface is formed on the drum surface.
Page 19
Developing By the adhesion of toner to the latent electrostatic image on the drum surface, the image is changed to a toner image. The developing is processed at the contact part between the OPC drum and the developing roller. 1 The sponge roller causes toner to adhere to the developing roller. The toner becomes negatively charged.
Page 20
Fusing When passed between the heat roller and the backup roller, the toner image transferred to the paper is fused into place by the application of heat and pressure to it. The Teflon coated heat roller is heated by the built-in heat roller of 800W/backup roller of 500W (halogen lamp).

Paper Loading from 1st Tray 1. The paper loading motor runs (CCW), the paper loading clutch is engaged and, until the entrance cassette sensor is turned on, paper is advanced (the on/off operations of the paper loading clutch control the pickup roller). 2.
Page 23
Paper Loading from Option Tray 1. The paper loading motor runs (CW), the paper loading clutch is engaged and, until the carrier sensor on a tray which sits atop a loading tray is turned on, paper is advanced. 2. After the paper turns the carrier sensor on, the paper is forwarded a further fixed length and touches the carrier roller (this corrects paper skew).
Page 24
Paper Loading from Multipurpose Tray (MT) 1. The release lever usually pushes down the hopping plate to a position to turn the micro SW on (Figure 2.8-a). 2. The running of the motor in the (a) direction drives the MT feed roller, causing the cam to turn.
Page 25
Carrier Belt 1. The running of the carrier belt motor in the direction of the arrow (a) drives the carrier belt. The belt unit sits with one carrier roller immediately below each color’s drum, and the carrier belt between them. By the application of a fixed voltage, the carrier belt and carrier roller feed paper on the carrier belt into the fuser unit, transferring a toner image from each color’s drum.
Page 26
Driving and Up-and-Down Movements of I/D Unit 1. The I/D unit driving and up-and-down movements are effected by a single-pulse motor. The running of the main motor in the direction of the arrow (a) turns the lever 1 to the left. Then, the lever 2 that was lifted by the lever 1 lowers to move down the I/D unit.
Page 28
Fuser Unit and Paper Ejection 1. A single-pulse motor drives the fuser unit and the eject rollers. In response to the running of the heat motor in the direction of the arrow (a), the heat roller turns. This roller fuses a toner image to paper by heat and pressure. 2.

Color Misalignment Correction C9000 is equipped with multiple LED heads, which can result in color misalignment. The mechanically induced color misalignment is automatically corrected as follows: Color alignment to be corrected 1 Color misalignment in X-axis direction (Positional error caused by LED head) 2 Color misalignment in slanting direction (Positional error caused by LED head) 3 Color misalignment in Y-axis direction (Positional error caused by I/D unit and LED head) Correcting...
Paper Jam Detection C9000 detects paper jams after power-on and during printing. When a paper jam occurs, the printer immediately suspends the printing operation. Opening the cover to remove the jammed paper and closing it resumes the printing. LCD Error Code Error Description Paper Size Error...
Cover Opening When the top cover of the printer is open, the cover open microswitch turns opens to cut off the high- voltage power supply, and outputs which are not less than 32V. At the same time, the CPU receives CVOPN signals indicating the status of the microswitch and performs cover open operations.

Toner Full Condition (At warming-up,A4 transverse:16ppm *1) t1 1.12 TNRSNS T=2.3 Toner Low Condition (At warming-up,A4 transverse:16ppm *1) t1 1.12 TNRSNS T=2.3 • When the toner low condition is detected 20 consecutive times, toner low is detected. (The toner low message is displayed when about 1000 A4 sheets at 5% density have been printed after toner low had been detected.) The detection is not performed until toner low occurs after the detection of toner low.
2.11 Paper Size Detection Via the cam tied to the paper guide of the paper cassette, the four tab pieces are driven according to the set position of the paper guide. Upon installation of the paper cassette, the microswitch detects the condition of the tab pieces and the paper size is recognized.
2.12 Operation at Power-on 2.12.1 Self-diagnostic test Initial test The following checks are automatically performed at power-on. (a) ROM check (b) RAM check (c) EEPROM check (d) Flash ROM check ROM check The ROM is checked by calculating a HASH value. RAM check (a) Checking is conducted by RAM type.
2.13 Color Misalignment Detection Reflection-type optical sensors (Z71-PCB) are mounted at the right and left ends of the belt, respectively, in front of the toner scraping (cleaning) blade which is at the back of the belt unit. The color misalignment detection pattern is printed on the belt at the right and left ends each and, by reading the patterns by the reflection-type optical sensors, the misalignment amounts are measured with respect to Black to determine correction values.
2.14 Version Read of Periodically Replaced Units The condition (new or used) of the I/D, fuser unit and belt unit are determined by an internal fuse within the units. When the unit is powered on or the upper cover is opened and closed, the printer scans for consumables fuses.
