  • Page 17: Electrophotographic Process

    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).

  • Page 22 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.
  • Page 29 Duplex Unit 1. When the duplex unit receives an instruction from the printer to print on both sides of a sheet of paper, the solenoid opens the separator after the completion of one side printing of a sheet of paper sent from the tray. The path is switched to that to the duplex unit. At this time, as the roller (1) turns in the direction of the arrow “a,”...

(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.
  • Page 37: Paper Size Detection

    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.
  • Page 39: Color Misalignment Detection

    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.
