2MY/2MZ Emergency-UPDATE If the device is accidentally switched off and upgrading was incomplete, upgrade becomes impossible from a USB flash device. In that case, retry upgrading after recovering the software by following the procedure below. Preparation The CF memory card must be formatted in FAT or FAT32 in advance. Extract the main firmware to download from the file.
2MY/2MZ 1-6-2 Remarks on PWB replacement (1) Engine PWB NOTE: When replacing the PWB, remove the EEPROM from the PWB and then reattach it to the new PWB. EEPROM (U15) Engine PWB Figure 1-6-3 (2) DP main PWB NOTE: When replacing the PWB, remove the EEPROM from the PWB and then reattach it to the new PWB.

2MY/2MZ (3) Main PWB NOTE:The following operations are required when replacing the main board. 1. Execute maintenance mode U004 to resolve machine number mismatch that appears after replacing the main board. 2. Adjust the scanner image. (1)Input the value in the auto scanner adjustment chart by using the maintenance mode U425. (2)Execute the maintenance mode U411 with the auto scanner adjustment chart.
2MY/2MZ 2-1 Mechanical Construction 2-1-1 Paper feed/conveying section The paper feed/conveying section consists of the paper feed unit that feeds paper from the cassette and the MP tray paper feed unit that feeds paper from the MP tray, and the paper conveying section that conveys the fed paper to the transfer/separation section.
Page 291
2MY/2MZ (2) MP tray paper feed section The MP tray can contain 100 sheets. Feeding from the MP tray is performed by the rotation of the MP paper feed roller. Also, function of the MP separation pad prevents paper from multiple feeding. Figure 2-1-3 MP tray paper feed section 1.
Page 292
2MY/2MZ (3) Conveying section The conveying section conveys paper to the transfer/separation section as paper feeding from the cassette or MP tray, or as paper refeeding for duplex printing. Paper by feeding is conveyed by the paper feed roller to the position where the registration sensor (RS) is turned on, and then sent to the transfer/separation section by the right registration roller and left registration roller.
Page 293
2MY/2MZ 2-1-2 Drum section The drum section consists of the drum, the charger roller unit, and the cleaning unit, and the drum surface is uniformly charged in preparation for formation of residual image by laser beam. After transfer is complete, toner remaining on the drum surface is chipped off with the cleaning blade and is collected to the waste toner box with the sweep roller.

2MY/2MZ 2-1-3 Developing section The developing unit consists of the sleeve roller that forms the magnetic brush, the magnet roller, the devel- oping blade and the developing screws that agitate the toner.Also, the toner sensor (TS) checks whether or not toner remains in the developing unit. Figure 2-1-9 Developing section 1.
Page 297
2MY/2MZ 2-1-4 Optical section The optical section consists of the image scanner section for scanning and the laser scanner section for print- ing. (1) Image scanner section The original image is illuminated by the exposure lamp (EL) and scanned by the CCD image sensor in the CCD PWB (CCDPWB) via the three mirrors and ISU lens, the reflected light being converted to an electrical signal.
Page 299
2MY/2MZ (2) Laser scanner section The charged surface of the drum is then scanned by the laser beam from the laser scanner unit. The laser beam is dispersed as the polygon motor (PM) revolves to reflect the laser beam over the drum. Various lenses and mirror are housed in the laser scanner unit, adjust the diameter of the laser beam, and focalize it at the drum surface.

2MY/2MZ 2-1-5 Transfer/Separation section The transfer/separation section consists of the intermediate transfer unit section and the secondary transfer roller section. (1) Intermediate transfer unit section The intermediate transfer unit section consists of the transfer cleaning unit, the transfer belt, and the four pri- mary transfer rollers for respective color drums, and forms a full-color toner image by superimposing and transferring single-color toner images formed on each drum onto the transfer belt.
Page 303
2MY/2MZ (2) Secondary transfer roller section The secondary transfer roller section consists of the secondary transfer roller mounted to the paper conveying unit and the separation needle. To the secondary transfer roller, DC bias is applied from the high voltage PWB (HVPWB).
Page 304
2MY/2MZ 2-1-6 Fuser section The paper sent from the transfer/separation section is interleaved between the heat roller and the press roller. The heat roller is heated by the IH coil (IHC), and the toner is fused by heat and pressure and fixed onto the paper because the press roller is pressed by the fuser press spring.
2MY/2MZ 2-1-7 Eject/Feedshift section The paper eject/feedshift section consists of the conveying path which sends the paper that has passed the fuser section to the inner tray, the job separator tray or the duplex conveying section. Figure 2-1-22 Eject/Feedshift section 6.
2MY/2MZ 2-1-8 Duplex conveying section The duplex conveying section consists of conveying path which sends the paper sent from the eject/feedshift section to the paper feed/conveying section when duplex printing. Figure 2-1-24 Duplex conveying section 1. Right cover 1 6. Duplex feed roller C 2.

2MY/2MZ 2-1-9 Document processor (1) Original feed section The original feed section consists of the parts shown in figure. An original placed on the original tray is con- veyed to the original conveying section. Original is fed by the rotation of the DP forwarding pulley and DP paper feed roller.
Page 312
2MY/2MZ (2) Original conveying section The original conveying section consists of the parts shown in figure. A conveyed original is scanned by the optical section (CCD) on the main machine when it passes through the slit glass of main machine. Figure 2-1-28 Original conveying section 1.
Page 314
2MY/2MZ (3) Original switchback/eject sections The original switchback/eject sections consists of the parts shown in figure. An original of which scanning is complete is ejected to the original eject table by the eject roller. In the case of duplex switchback scanning, an original is conveyed temporarily to the switchback tray and conveyed again to the original conveying section by the switchback roller.
