    3.2.3 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.

    3.2.5 Duplex printing After the paper exits from the eject roller ASSY 2 with the front of sheet printed, the eject roller ASSY 2 rotates conversely and feeds the paper to the DX unit, where the paper skew is adjusted. Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the DX unit to the path through the regist roller and the transfer roller to the transfer block in the drum unit again for process of printing on the back of sheet.

    3.2.6 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.

In the case of low-duty printing, if the number of printed pages are reached the cartridge life, "Replace Toner" is indicated by lighting Toner LED (HL-5340D/5350DN/5350DNLT/ 5370DW/5370DWT) or "Replace Toner" message appears on the LCD panel (HL-5380DN) before the toner runs out because the developer roller surface or other toner sealing is worn out due to a rotation of the rollers.
  • Page 46: New Toner Detection

    3.3.3 New toner detection (1) The main motor will drive gear (4) through the interconnection of other gears. (2) When gear (4) is rotated, rib A on that gear will push against the new toner actuator; the new toner sensor will detect the actuator motion, and the machine detects that a new toner cartridge has been installed.
  • Page 47 When the new toner detection switch 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 printer has a property that print density is light first and gradually darker in the course of usage.
  • Page 48 <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 rotation rate of the develop roller. Irrespective of the amount of toner, printing becomes disabled when the rotation rate reaches the upper limit.
  • Page 49: Print

    Print 3.4.1 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 50: Print Process

    3.4.2 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 51 (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 52 (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 275 V...
  • Page 53 (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. 2-19 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 54 (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...
