Chapter 1 1.1 Features 1.1.1 Feature 0021-1249 1. Small and low-cost printer The printer uses a flat in-line cartridge method for the first time in the small printer. This lowers the height and reduces the printer size. The printer uses the transfer pad and the separation roller to reduce the parts expenses.
Chapter 1 1.5 Using the Machine 1.5.1 Control Panel 0021-1268 F-1-4 Functions of the LEDs T-1-3 Name Status Description Printing cannot be performed because a toner cartridge needs to be replaced, or a toner cartridge is not Blinking installed properly. [1] Toner Indicator A toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
Chapter 1 1.6 Safety 1.6.1 Safety of the Laser Light 0021-1270 Laser beam radiation may pose a danger to the human body. A laser scanner mounted on the machine is sealed with the protection housing and external cover to prevent the laser beam from leaking to the outside. The laser beam never leaks out of the scanner as far as users operate the machine normally The following warnings are given to comply with Safety Principles (EN60950).
Chapter 1 F-1-6 1.6.4 Points to note at disassembly/installation procedure 0021-1274 At disassembly/installation procedure, make sure to follow the instruction below to proceed. 1. Be sure to unplug the power code before disassembly/installation. 2. At installation, follow the procedure in the reverse order of disassembly unless otherwise instructed. 3.

Chapter 2 2.1 Functional Configuration 2.1.1 Outline 0021-1275 The machine may be broadly divided into the following 6 functional blocks: engine control system, laser exposure system, image formation system, pickup/trans- port/delivery system, fixing system, and externals/auxiliary control system. Laser exposure system Image formation system Pickup/transport/delivery system Engine control...
Chapter 2 The main components of the laser scanner unit are the laser driver and the scanner motor unit and are controlled by the signals sent from the DC controller. Laser driver PCB Polygon mirror Scaner motor unit BD PCB Photosensitive drum Photosensitive drum Photosensitive drum...
Chapter 2 Fixing unit Laser scanner Laser beam Cartridge Photosensitive drum ITB cleaning unit Primary transfer pad Secondary transfer external roller High-voltage power supply DC controller F-2-3 2.4.1.2 Image-formation Process 0021-1307 The image-formation process consists of the following nine steps divided among six functional blocks: Step 1: Primary charging Step 2: Laser-beam exposure Step 3: Development...
Chapter 2 The primary charging roller charges the photosensitive drum directly. The DC negative bias is applied to the primary charging roller to keep a negative potential on the drum surface. Primary charging roller DC bias Photosensitive drum F-2-5 Step 2: Laser-beam exposure The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize the negative charge on portions of the drum surface.
Chapter 2 Photosensitive drum Primary transfer pad DC bias F-2-8 Step 5: Secondary transfer The toner image on the ITB is transferred to the print media. The DC positive bias is applied to the secondary transfer roller. As the media passes between the secondary transfer roller and the ITB, the toner image is transferred to the media.
Chapter 2 Fixing film Pressure roller Fixing heater Toner Media F-2-11 2.4.1.7 ITB cleaning block 0021-1312 The residual (waste) toner is cleared from the ITB surface. Step 8: ITB cleaning The ITB cleaning roller and the cleaning brush are applied with DC positive bias to charge the residual toner positive. As the primary transfer pad is also applied with DC positive bias, the positively charged residual toner is reverse transferred to the photosensitive drum from the ITB surface.
Chapter 2 Cleaning blade Photosensitive drum Waste toner container Sweeper strip F-2-13 2.4.2 High-Voltage Control 2.4.2.1 Outline 0021-1314 The high-voltage power supply generates the high-voltage biases that are applied to the primary charging roller, developing roller, primary transfer pad, secondary transfer roller and ITB cleaning unit.
Chapter 2 Execute Immediately (Level 1) Performed 15 minutes later Execute Immediately Execute Immediately (Level 2) Execute Immediately Execute Immediately - During toner cartridge replacement - After a specified sheet number printing (200 sheets) - If there is major environment change - after the printing is completed, or 300 minutes after Image density correction control (D-max control) - If there is calibration execution instruction from user.
Chapter 2 2.4.5 Transfer Unit 2.4.5.1 Pad transfer 0021-1320 The printer has a pad transfer method for the primary transfer operation. The pad transfer method stabilizes an image compared to the conventional separation roller method. The features for the pad transfer method are as follows: The wider nip width between the transfer pad and the photosensitive drum improves the transfer performance.
Chapter 2 2.5 Pickup/Feeding/Delivery System 2.5.1 Overview/Configuration 2.5.1.1 Overview 0021-1321 In the pickup/feeding system, each type of feeding roller is configured in the part where printing paper feeding and pickup are conducted.

Chapter 2 - If the detected temperature of the thermistor does not reach 70 deg C within a specified period after it once reaches 40 deg C after the heater energization during the wait period. - If the detected temperature of the thermistor does not reach the targeted temperature within a specified period under the heater temperature control during the initial rotation period.
Chapter 2 low pressure power, and supplies to the host machine. 2.7.1.2 Other Function 2.7.1.2.1 Protective function 0021-2057 The low-voltage power supply has a protective function against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent failures in the power supply circuit. If there flows an over- current or overvoltage, the low-voltage system automatically cuts off the output voltage.
If properly connected with a bi-directional interface, an external device may be used to check the printer status. When printing is executed in a Microsoft Windows or Macintosh environment, CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology) serves to reduce processing speed and enhance the ease of operation to provide a user-friendly printing environment. To that end, CPU is designed for the following: - The print data from the application is turned into dot data and sent to the printer without conversion into the printer's page description language (PDL).
