IC (IMAGING CARTRIDGE) SECTION 6-1. Overview • The illustration below shows the construction of the Toner Cartridge and the Developing Unit. • This printer adopts the single-component FMT, or Fine Micro Toning, developing system. • The Toner Agitating Screw conveys toner in the Toner Cartridge onto the Toner Supply Roller.
Page 31
• The Imaging Cartridge consists of a T/C (Toner Cartridge) and a D/C (Drum Cartridge) (see the illustration below). D/C (Drum Cartridge) Imaging Cartridge 4136M511AA 4136M513AA T/C (Toner Cartridge)
6-2. PC Drum • The PC Drum used in this printer is the organic photoconductor (OPC) type. • The drum consists of two layers - Charge Transport Layer (CTL) and the Charge Gener- ating Layer (CGL) - applied to an aluminum alloy base (cylinder). Handling Precautions: The PC Drum of this type exhibits light fatigue after being exposed to light for a long time, which results in its sensitivity being changed.
6-3. Developing System • The 1st Toner Blade located above the Sleeve Roller spreads a thin, even coat of toner over the Sleeve Roller. • A negative charge is applied to the 2nd Toner Blade, which negatively charges the toner. •...
6-4. Detection of Toner Cartridge Installation detection • The Imaging Cartridge, when loaded in position, is detected as follows. At the comple- tion of a warm-up cycle, the IC chip built into the Toner Cartridge (TC detection board) detects electrically whether or not the cartridge is loaded in position. Interchangeability detection •...
Page 35
• The Toner Empty Detection Sensor has an LED and a reflecting light detection sensor built into it. Light from the LED enters the toner detection window and is reflected off the Reflection Mirror located inside the Toner Cartridge. The reflecting light detection sensor detects this reflected light.
DRUM CHARGE Overview • The PC Drum is charged with static electricity before laser exposure. • The Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film are used for charging. • Since the Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film directly deposit charge on the PC Drum, they produce little ozone.
IR SECTION 8-1. Image Data Processing 1. Photoelectric Conversion • The CCD Sensor reads the light reflected off the original and converts the data to a cor- responding analog signal. 2. A/D Conversion • The analog signal output from the CCD Sensor is converted to a corresponding 8-bit dig- ital signal.
8-2. Exposure Components Section Lens 4980M019AA 1. Exposure Lamp • A CCFL lamp is used to illuminate the surface of the original. 2. 1st Mirror • Reflects the light reflected off the surface of the original, directing it to the 2nd Mirror. 3.
8-3. Scanner Drive Mechanism Scanner Drive Mechanism • The Scanner Motor drives the Scanner Assy through the Timing Belt. Scanner Motor (M4) Scanner Assy Timing Belt 4980M002AA 8-4. Scanner Motor Drive Control • The speed at which the Scanner moves (for scan and return motion) is controlled by varying the period of the motor drive pulse that is timed with the reference clock.
PRINT HEAD (PH) 9-1. Construction • The laser beam light emitted from the Print Head is used to scan the image as driven by the Polygon Motor. SOS Sensor G1 Lens Semiconductor Laser G2 Lens 1st Mirror 2nd Mirror SOS Mirror 4136M005AA Polygon Mirror M-18...
9-2. Laser Exposure Process • The laser beam light emitted from the Print Head is used to create an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the PC Drum. • The following control is provided to correctly time image printing. Laser Diode Print Head Unit Polygon Motor...
9-3. Laser Emission Timing • When a READY signal is detected a given period of time after the print command has been issued, the Controller/Mechanical Control Board outputs a laser ON signal. • The laser ON signal makes a laser beam to be emitted and the laser beam travels to the Polygon Mirror, G1 Lens, and the SOS Mirror to eventually hit the SOS Sensor, which generates an SOS signal.
9-4. Laser Emission Area Main scanning direction • The print start position is determined by the main scanning print start signal (/HSYNC) output from the Controller/Mechanical Control Board and the width of the paper. • The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. Sub-scanning direction •...
10. PAPER TAKE-UP SECTION 10-1. Tray 1 Paper take-up mechanism • When the Paper Take-Up Solenoid is energized, drive from the Main Motor is transmitted to the Paper Take-Up Roll through the Paper Take-Up Clutch, turning the Paper Take-Up Roll. •...
Electrical Parts Control Signal WIRING DIAGRAM PWB-P MPJ10P-2 PWB-P MPJ3P-2 Double feed preventive mechanism • A fixed paper separator pad is used to prevent the second and subsequent sheets of paper from being taken up and fed in with the first one. Paper empty detection •...
11. IMAGE TRANSFER 11-1. Overview • The toner image formed on the surface of the PC Drum during the developing process is transferred onto the paper. • This printer adopts the roller image transfer system, in which the Image Transfer Roller is used to transfer the image onto the paper.
12. FUSING UNIT 12-1. Overview • The toner image transferred onto the paper is securely fixed to the paper. • A heated roller system is used as the fusing system. The paper, to which the toner image has been transferred, is fed between the Fusing Roller heated by the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp and the Pressure Roller.
12-2. Fusing Temperature Control Temperature changes (plain paper having a length of 186 mm or more) Temperature detected by Thermistor Warm-up 200 °C During print cycle (600 dpi) In standby 130 °C Mode 0: Mode 1: Mode 2: Mode 3 180 sec.
Temperature control mode The fusing temperature is controlled during a print cycle according to the period of time elapsed from the completion of the warm-up cycle. • Mode 0 Mode 1 lasts for 3 min. If the temperature detected by the Thermistor is 50 °C or more when mode 0 is interrupted, the operation is switched to mode 1.
Fusing temperature protect control Fusing Unit Thermistor (TH1) ANIN Comparative Voltage Fusing Roller Heater Lamp Thermostat (TS1) Comparator High-temperature Protect Signal FUSER_LAMP Triac FUSER_LAMP_ Controller/Mechanical Control Board Power Unit 4980M015AB <Soft protect> • The comparator provided on the Controller/Mechanical Control Board is used as means for detecting an abnormally high temperature through software approach.
13. PAPER EXIT 13-1. Paper Exit Mechanism • The paper exit mechanism transports the paper that has been subjected to the fusing process onto the Exit Roller. • The Exit Sensor detects not only a paper misfeed but also an open Upper Cover. Exit Tray Exit Roll Face-down Exit...
14. MISCELLANEOUS 14-1. Cooling of the Printer Interior • The Cooling Fan Motors provided on the right and left frames of the printer draw outside air from the outside into the printer interior and discharge heat inside the printer out. It thereby prevents the temperature of the PH Unit and the printer interior from increasing.
14-2. Original Cover Open/Close Detection Mechanism • There is a magnet provided in the Original Cover, allowing the printer to detect the posi- tion of the cover whether the cover is raised or lowered. • This magnet attracts the Original Cover Set Sensor provided on the printer side, thus activating the sensor.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE • To ensure that the printer produces good printed pages and to extend its service life, it is recommended that the maintenance jobs described in this schedule be carried out as instructed. Ref. Page PM Parts Clean Replace 1 Replace 2 in This Manual...
1-1.

3-1. Document Take-up Mechanism Document Take-up Mechanism • The Original Detection Sensor detects a document that has been properly loaded in the Document Feeder. • The Document Stopper establishes the leading edge position of the document loaded in the Document Feeder. The stopper is lowered in the standby state and raised when the document is taken up and fed in.
Document Separation Mechanism • Double feeding of paper is prevented using coefficient of friction between the Take-up Roller and Separator Pad. Take-up Roller 1382M002AB Separator Pad Single sheet feeding : The coefficient of friction on the front side of the paper fed between the Take-up Roller and Separator Pad is equal to that on the backside of the paper.
3-2. Document Transport/Exit Mechanism Document transport mechanism • The original that has been taken up blocks the Paper Take-up Sensor. The Transport Roller turns to transport the original up to the document scanning position of the printer. • The AF Main Motor drives the Transport Roller through a gear train. AF Main Motor (M5) Paper Take-up Sensor (PC2) Transport Roller...
Document exit mechanism • The Exit Roller turns to feed the original out of the Document Feeder. During this sequence, the original blocks the Leading Edge Detection Sensor and is fed onto the Document Exit Tray. • The AF Main Motor turns the Exit Roller through a gear train.
