1.1 Safety Warning (1) Request service by qualified service person. Service for this machine must be performed by a Qualified Xerox service person. It is dangerous if unqualified service personnel or users try to fix the machine. (2) Do not rebuild.
Precautions 1.2 Safety Caution 1.2.1 Noxious Material Precaution The toner in a printer cartridge contains a chemical material, which may harm human body if it is swallowed. Please keep children out of reach of the toner cartridge. 1.2.2 Electric Shock or fire Precaution It is possible to get electric shock or burn by fire if you don't fallow the instructions of the manual.
Precautions 1.2.3 Handling Precautions If you ignore this information, you could harm machine and could be damaged. (1) Do not install it on different levels, or slanted floor. Please confirm whether it is balanced or not after installation. If it is unbalanced, an accident can be hap- pened due to the machine falling over.
Precautions 1.3 ESD Precautions Certain semiconductor devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called “Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices”, or ESDs. Examples of typical ESDs are: integrated circuits, some field effect transistors, and semiconductor “chip” components. The techniques outlined below should be followed to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

If it could not detect the feed sensor within 1 second after feeding a paper, a paper jam0 (CPU#_) occurs. Phaser 3117 differs from other general printers because it doesn’t have a paper empty sensor. It recognizes the paper existing status by using a firmware. If a paper is not fed, it recognizes the state as no paper (Red and Yellow lights turn on among other LEDs).

System Overview 3.2.7 FUSER AC POWER CONTROL Fuser(HEAT LAMP) gets heat from AC power. The AV power controls the switch with the Triac, a semiconductor switch. The 'ON/OFF control' is operated when the gate of the Triac is turned on/off by Phototriac (insulting part). In other words, the AC control part is passive circuit, so it turns the heater on/off with taking signal from engine control part.
Phaser 3117. 3.3.1 Introduction This Engine Control Firmware is a program that controls LBP Engine of the Phaser 3117. This firmware is executed every 10msec as an interrupt routine of the main system. At stand-by state, this firmware monitors the enable print command from the main system. If the enable print command is detected, this firmware controls the Engine Mechanism according to the printing process and paper feeding state.

Circuit Description Explanation about the condition of Normal Operation If the fuser (P3.7) port becomes high, the Q6 is activated. A heat lamp starts operating by the activity. As the temperature of the heat lamp is increased, the resistance value of the thermister is decreased. Therefore, the electric potential of the circled A becomes low.
12.1.3 Motor Driver A motor drive circuit is decided when selecting a driver IC. (Supplied by vendor) Phaser 3117 uses the motor driver IC of AN44060. However, the sensing resistance Rs value and the Vreference resistance value are variable according to the motor drive current value.
