5055-01x Processes and Configuration In this printer, the toner of four colors (magenta, cyan, yellow and black) melts and deposits on paper, dots which record color image information. This printing process is called the electrophotography process. Electrophotography Process In the electrophotography process, electrically charged toner, exposes, develops, transfers, and is cleaned with an aluminum photosensitive drum.
5055-01x Development Unit Toner forms the electrostatic image on the photosensitive drum during exposure. The single component, non-magnetic toner and the lusterless color toner are weather-resistant, and fade little under ultraviolet rays. This is helpful in saving documents. Toner in the hopper is agitated and supplied to the development roll by the supply roll.
5055-01x Cleaning Unit Toner remaining on the photosensitive drum following transfer, is scraped away with the cleaning blade, and collected in the recovery bag as waste toner. Residual toner on the photosensitive medium is removed by the eraser. Paper Feeding / Fusing The main unit drive is composed of drives 1 and 2.
/ toner cartridge, fusing unit, and face-up delivery unit. The motor rotates by the ON signal from the printer controller/ motor drive unit and sends a rotation synchronization detection signal to the motor drive unit.
(3,000 sheets) may be used. Combining the multi-paper feeder, expansion paper feeders, and high capacity paper feeding system the printer has a maximum paper supply of up to 5,850 sheets. Cassette Paper Feeder The paper feeding solenoid turns on by the signal from the printer controller.
5055-01x Multi-Purpose Feeding The multi-paper feed solenoid turns on by the signal from the printer controller. The multi-purpose feed roll interconnected with the drive 1 through the spring clutch, rotates and picks the paper in the multi- purpose feeder. 1-10...
5055-01x Registration Unit Media temporarily stops (registration) when adjusting the paper leading edge parallel with that of the image, or when adjusting the timing with the black image. The upper and lower registration rolls are arranged in parallel with the photosensitive drum for black imaging. The lower registration roll incorporates a registration clutch which feeds or stops the paper.
Each thermistor sends the surface temperature of the roller to the printer controller. The printer controller turns the heater on or off according to the voltage of each thermistor. If the controller fails and...
The paper from the fuser pulls down the sensing lever turning on the delivery sensor (photo interrupter). If the delivery unit remains on longer than specified, the printer controller determines that the printer is jammed, and the paper delivery flap lever switches to either face-down or face-up. 1-14...
5055-01x Belt Unit After passing through the registration unit, paper is electrostatically fed by the transfer belt through the positively charged feed roll at the inlet of the belt unit and fed by the running belt. The belt runs at the same speed as the photosensitive drum causing the image on the C, M, Y and K developer to transfer to paper.
5055-01x Belt Up/Down In monochrome printing, switching to color printing is not required. To avoid unnecessary wear of the photosensitive drum by the cleaning blade, this operation is stopped with the electromagnetic clutch in drive 1. The transfer belt is lowered so as not to touch the photosensitive drum during color printing.
Paper fed with the duplex unit stops once, and the center position is corrected by the operation of the side guide plate. Paper is then re- fed by the printer controller signal to the main unit, and, following printing on the back side, is delivered to the normal feeding path.
5055-01x Printing Mode Usually printing is performed in normal mode, OHP mode, thick paper mode, and envelope/postcard mode. The mode is switched by a command from the interface controller. Mode Normal Thick paper Envelope/postcard OHP Mode OHP mode is used for improving color printing on transparencies. With an overhead projector (OHP), light transmitted through OHP paper (original document) projects an image on the lens.
To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear the jammed area and then press Go to clear the message and resume printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.
200 Paper Jam <x> Pages Jammed and Check Areas A-F. If there is a paper jam when you turn the printer on, the second line of the 200 Paper Jam message will be blank. To resolve the message, you must clear all paper from the paper path.
Page 35
If you are printing on small paper, the following steps may not clear the jam. See Paper From the Duplex Unit” on page 1. Open the duplex jam access door on the right side of the printer. 2. Remove the jam. 3. Press Go.
Page 36
When printing on both sides of A5 or other small size paper, you may need to partially remove the duplex unit to clear the jam. 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Open the duplex unit door. 3. Loosen the two screws.

5055-01x High Capacity Paper Feeder (HCPF) Paper Feed and Separation Mechanism The high capacity paper feeder consists of a tray and paper transfer. The paper feed and separation mechanism uses a friction roller separation and paper feed system with a non-contact magnet type maintenance-free torque limiter.
Page 40
5055-01x Registration Operation When the paper feed motor rotates, the transfer roller is driven with relay gears. The reverse roller shaft rotates the gears on the paper feed clutch in the direction of the arrow and stops by the friction force of the paper feed roller.
Page 41
5055-01x Tray Up/Down Mechanism The driving force of the tray motor transmits to the tray driving pulley through the gears. Moving the tray moves up and down through the tray driving belt. After the paper loads, and the top cover is set, the pickup solenoid turns on to lower the call roller.
Page 42
5055-01x When the down button is pressed, the tray motor reverses to move the tray down. During the down motion of the tray, as the top surface of paper passes the paper level sensor, the tray motor stops. The tray moves down by about 500 sheets. The down sensor detects the tray lower limit position.
