Page 72: Paper Registration
3.3.3 Paper registration After the paper top position is detected by the regist actuator front, the paper, separated into individual sheets by the separation roller, is fed further for a specified time, and the paper top position reaches the regist roller so that the paper skew is adjusted. Then, the regist solenoid is turned on, the regist roller starts turning, and the paper is fed to the transfer roller in the drum/toner ASSY.
Page 73: Paper Eject
3.3.4 Paper eject After the printing image on the exposure drum is transferred onto the paper, the paper is fed to the fuser unit to fix unfixed toner onto the paper by the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fuser unit.
Page 74: Duplex Printing
3.3.5 Duplex printing After the paper exits from the eject roller ASSY with the front of sheet printed, the eject roller ASSY rotates conversely and feeds the paper to the Duplex unit, where the paper skew is adjusted. Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the Duplex unit to the path through the regist roller and to the transfer block in the drum unit again for process of printing on the back of sheet.
Page 75: Paper Feeding From The Mp Tray
3.3.6 Paper feeding from the MP tray The separation roller MP is connected with the feed roller through the gear in the MP roller holder ASSY. When the separation roller is driven, therefore, the feed roller is also driven. At this time, the recording paper is drawn out of the MP tray by rotation of the paper feed roller MP contacted with the recording paper.
Page 76: Toner Cartridge
Toner Cartridge 3.4.1 Methods for Detecting Toner Life When the machine detects the toner life end, "Replace Toner" is displayed. The toner life is displayed through the following two ways. First, such indication is displayed when detection is performed by the toner sensor; second, it is displayed at the time when a cumulative rotation of the develop roller reaches its upper limit.
Page 77: Cartridge Life
3.4.2 Cartridge life A new toner cartridge can print approximately 3,000 (standard toner) or approximately 8,000 (high yield toner) A4 or Letter size single-sided pages at normal duty (ISO/IEC19752). In the case of low-duty printing, if the number of printed pages are reached the cartridge life, "Replace Toner"...
Page 78: New Toner Detection
3.4.3 New toner detection This machine is equipped with the function to detect that the residual quantities of the toner are not enough by examining the degree that the toner in the cartridge blocks the light by the transmission light sensor. This function informs the user's that the toner cartridge has reached its life.
Page 79 When the new toner detection machanism detects that the toner cartridge is replaced with a new one, the developing bias voltage is initialized at the same time. The toner used for the machine has a property that print density is light first and gradually darker in the course of usage.
Page 80 <When a toner cartridge in use is inserted after "Replace Toner" is displayed by toner sensor detection > A count value before changes is continuously indicated as a number of the rotation for the develop roller. Irrespective of the amount of toner, printing becomes disabled when the number of the rotation for the develop roller reaches the upper limit.
Page 81: Print
Print 3.5.1 Basic Principle The printing process consists broadly of 5 processes: electrification, exposure, development, transfer and fusing. 1. Charging: The surface of an exposure drum is electrically charged. 2. Exposure: A printed image is formed on the surface of the drum by applying laser beam. 3.
Page 82: Print Process
3.5.2 Print Process (1) Charging The flow of the ion charge is controlled by constant voltage of the grid 850 V to ensure it is distributed evenly on the drum surface. In order to coat toner on the exposure drum, the drum needs to be evenly electrified.
Page 83 (2) Exposure The laser beam radiated from a laser diode inside the laser unit is concentrated into a constant width by a slit in the CO lens cell and then reflected by a polygon mirror rotating at high speed. The evenly charged exposure drum is irradiated with reflected light and exposed. Surface potential is lowered by such exposure and a printed image is formed.
Page 84 (3) Development Toner is attracted to a printed-image area on the exposure drum where surface potential is lowered due to exposure. By controlling developing bias voltage supplied to the develop roller, the amount of toner taken to the drum is adjusted to keep printing density constant. Charging Laser beam 400 V to approx.
Page 85 (4) Transfer By applying a minus charge to the transfer roller, the toner adhered to the exposure drum is transferred to paper. Supply roller Toner cartridge Develop roller Exposure drum Toner Transfer roller Fig. 2-33 Memo : • Control of transfer bias The transfer bias applied in the transfer roller is adjusted according to types and sizes of paper so as to keep excellent image quality.
Page 86 (5) Fusing The toner transferred on paper passes between the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fuser unit, being fused by heat and pressure. The thermistor detects surface temperature of the heat roller and turns ON/OFF the halogen heater lamp. The temperature is kept constant. Fuser unit Heat roller Halogen heater...

Page 90 CHAPTER 3 ERROR INDICATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter details error messages and codes that the incorporated self-diagnostic functions display if any error or malfunction occurs. If any error message appears, refer to this chapter to find which components should be checked or replaced. The latter half of this chapter provides sample problems that could occur in the main sections of the machine and related troubleshooting procedures.

Page 94: Initial Check
Initial Check Check the following items before attempting to repair the machine. ■ Operating Environment (1) Put your machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and shocks. (2) Use the machine in a well-ventilated room; use the machine within the following ranges of temperature and humidity: temperature between 10°C and 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F), and the relative humidity is maintained between 20% and 80%.

2. DISTINGUISH ERROR CAUSE ERROR INDICATION To help the user or the service personnel promptly locate the cause of a problem (if any), the facsimile equipment incorporates the self-diagnostic functions which display error messages for machine errors and communications errors. For the communications errors, the machine also prints out the transmission verification report and the communications list.
