2GN/2GP/2GR 1-6 Requirements on PWB Replacement 1-6-1 Upgrading the firmware Follow the procedure below to upgrade the firmware of main PWB, engine PWB, scanner PWB and MMI. Firmware upgrading requires the following tools: Compact Flash (Products manufactured by SANDISK are recommended.) or USB memory NOTE When writing data to a new Compact Flash from a computer, be sure to format it in advance.
2GN/2GP/2GR 1-6-2 Adjustment-free variable resistors (VR) The variable resistors listed below are set at the factory prior to shipping and cannot be adjusted in the field. High voltage PWB: VR2, VR42, VR201, VR204 1-6-3 Remarks on main PWB replacement When replacing the main PWB, remove EEPROM from the main PWB that has been removed and then reattach it to the new main PWB.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1 Mechanical construction 2-1-1 Paper feed section The paper feed section consists of the primary feed and secondary feed subsections. Primary feed conveys paper from the cassettes 1, 2 or MP tray to the left and right registration rollers, at which point secondary feed takes place and the paper travels to the transfer section in sync with the printing timing.
Page 208
2GN/2GP/2GR The MP tray can be hold up to 200 sheets of paper at one time. Paper is fed from the MP tray by the rotation of the MP for- warding pulley and MP paper feed pulley. Also during paper feed, the MP separation pulley prevents multiple sheets from being fed at one time by the torque limiter.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-2 Main charging section The main charging section consists of the main charger assembly, drum and so on. The drum is electrically charged uni- formly by means of a grid to form a latent image on the surface. The main charger unit charges the drum so that a latent image is formed on the surface, the shield grid ensuring the charge is applied uniformly.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-3 Optical section The optical section consists of the scanner, mirror frame and image scanning unit for scanning and the laser scanner unit for printing. Figure 2-1-7 Optical section Mirror 1 frame Mirror 2 frame Exposure lamp (EL) Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3 Lens...
2GN/2GP/2GR (1) Original scanning The original image is illuminated by the exposure lamp (EL) and scanned by the CCD PWB (CCDPWB) in the image scan- ning unit via the three mirrors, the reflected light being converted to an electrical signal. The scanner and mirror frames travel to scan on the optical rails on the front and rear of the machine to scan from side to side.
2GN/2GP/2GR (2) Image printing The image data scanned by the CCD PWB (CCDPWB) is processed on the main PWB (MPWB) and transmitted as image printing data to the laser scanner unit (LSU). By repeatedly turning the laser on and off, the laser scanner unit forms a latent image on the drum surface.

2GN/2GP/2GR Drum Figure 2-1-10 Laser scanner unit (2) Laser diode: Generates the laser beam which forms a latent image on the drum. Collimator lens: Collimates the diffused laser beam emitted from the laser diode to convert it into a cylindrical beam.
Page 215
2GN/2GP/2GR The dimensions of the laser beam are as shown in Figure 2-1-11. Less than 100 µm Less than 85 µm Figure 2-1-11 Scanning in the main direction is provided by the rotating polygon mirror, while scanning in the auxiliary direction is pro- vided by the rotating drum, forming a static latent image on the drum.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-4 Developing section The developing section consists of the developing unit and the toner container. The developing unit consists of the developing roller where a magnetic brush is formed, the doctor blade and the develop- ing spirals that agitate the toner. When the toner sensor (TNS) detects a low toner level in the developing unit, the toner replenishment signal is output to the engine PWB (EPWB).
2GN/2GP/2GR (1) Single component developing system This machine uses the single component developing system, and reversal processing is performed with a + charged drum (a-Si) and a + charged magnetic toner. With the single component developing system, toner is electrically charged by friction with the developing sleeve and + charged when it passes through the magnetic toner blade.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-5 Transfer and separation sections The transfer and separation section consists mainly of the transfer roller, separation electrode and drum separation claws. A high voltage generated by the high-voltage transformer PWB (HVTPWB) is applied to the transfer roller for transfer charging.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-6 Cleaning and charge erasing sections The cleaning section consists of the cleaning blade that removes residual toner from the drum surface after the transfer process, and the cleaning spiral that carries the residual toner back to the waste toner box. The cleaning lamp (CL) consists of LEDs and removes residual charge on the drum before main charging.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-7 Fuser section The fuser section consists of the parts shown in Figure 2-1-21. When paper reaches the fuser section after the transfer process, it passes between the press roller and heat roller, which is heated by fuser heaters M or S (FH-M or FH-S). Pres- sure is applied by the fuser unit pressure springs so that the toner on the paper is melted, fused and fixed onto the paper.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-8 Eject and switchback sections The eject and switchback sections eject paper on which fixing has ended with the eject roller that is rotated by forward rotation of the eject motor. In duplex copying, paper is turned over by reverse rotation of the eject motor. When paper is transferred to the job separa- tor or the internal finisher, the feedshift solenoid (FSSOL) is turned on to activate the feedshift guide to switch the paper transfer path.
2GN/2GP/2GR 2-1-9 Duplex section The duplex section consists of the components shown in figure. In duplex mode, after copying on to the reverse face of the paper, the paper is reversed in the switchback section and conveyed to the duplex section. The paper is then conveyed to the paper feed section by the upper and lower duplex feed rollers.
2GN/2GP/2GR (1) Paper conveying operation in duplex copying Paper of which copying onto the reverse side is complete is conveyed to the switchback section, the eject motor switches from normal rotation to reverse rotation to switch the eject roller to reverse rotation, and the paper conveying direction is reversed.
