MFC-8440/8840D/8840DN, DCP-8040/8045D/8045DN SERVICE MANUAL 2.7.2 Exposure stage After the drum is positively charged, it is exposed to the light emitted from the laser unit. Drum Laser beam Paper Laser beam lens Laser detector Polygon mirror Laser diode Motor Lens Fig. 3-36 The area exposed to the laser beam is the image to be printed.

CHAPTER 3 THEORY OF OPERATION 2.7.3 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller (which is also made of conductive sponge) rotate against each other.

Characteristics of lead-free solder Melting point higher than that of conventional tin-lead solder (Lead-free solder: approx.
Page 169 CHAPTER 4 DISASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY 5. Precautions for hand soldering operations 1) Soldering operations using lead-free solder are basically the same as those using tin- lead solder, however, due to the lead-free solder's characteristics of being difficult to melt, wet, and spread, as well as being hard, a soldering iron needs to be applied for a longer period of time than when soldering with conventional tin-lead solder.
Page 170 MFC-8440/8840D/8840DN, DCP-8040/8045D/8045DN SERVICE MANUAL 6. Soldering irons When soldering is performed manually using lead-free solder, a soldering iron that has little reduction in its temperature needs to be used. This refers to a soldering iron that has a smaller degree of decrease in the temperature at the soldering iron's tip, such as when the soldering iron is applied to the base metal or solder is supplied, and the temperature is soon returned to the specified temperature.
