Print Process - Xerox Phaser 8400 Service Manual

Print Process

Once the printer processes an image and creates a printing bitmap, the print cycle
begins. Sensors maintain correct operating temperatures for the printhead and drum.
Sensors also monitor ink levels in the reservoirs. If necessary, the ink loader adds ink.
At the ready state, the print process consists of the following steps:
■
Drum Preparation
■
Printing
■
Paper Pick
■
Transfixing and Exiting
Warning
Theory of Operation
Keep your fingers away from the Y-Axis drum rotation drive
system; the closed-loop servo drive system is inherently
dangerous. Fingers caught in the belts and gears will result in
serious injuries.
