2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-1 Paper feed section The paper feed section consists of the primary feed and secondary feed subsections. Primary feed conveys paper from the upper drawer, lower drawer or bypass tray to the left and right registration rollers, at which point secondary feed takes place and the paper travels to the transfer section in sync with the printing timing.
Page 276
2FD/2FF/2FG The bypass table can be hold up to 200 sheets of paper at one time. Paper is fed from the bypass table by the rotation of the bypass forwarding pulley and bypass paper feed pulley. Also during paper feed, the bypass separation pulley prevents multiple sheets from being fed at one time by the torque limiter.

2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-2 Main charging section The main charging section consists of the main charger assembly, drum and so on. The drum is electrically charged uniformly (500 µA) by means of a grid to form a latent image on the surface. The main charger unit charges the drum so that a latent image is formed on the surface, the shield grid ensuring the charge is applied uniformly.

2FD/2FF/2FG (1) Original scanning The original image is illuminated by the exposure lamp (EL) and scanned by the CCD PCB (CCDPCB) in the image scanning unit via the three mirrors, the reflected light being converted to an electrical signal. The scanner and mirror frames travel to scan on the optical rails on the front and rear of the machine to scan from side to side.
Page 283
2FD/2FF/2FG (2) Image printing The image data scanned by the CCD PCB (CCDPCB) is processed on the main PCB (MPCB) and transmitted as image printing data to the laser scanner unit (LSU). By repeatedly turning the laser on and off, the laser scanner unit forms a latent image on the drum surface.

The main PCB (MPCB) computes the absolute humidity based on this HUMSENS signal and the temperature (ETTH signal) detected by the external temperature thermistor (ETTH).

2FD/2FF/2FG (3) Single component developing system This machine uses the single component developing system, and reversal processing is performed with a + charged drum (a-Si) and a + charged magnetic toner. With the single component developing system, toner is electrically charged by friction with the developing sleeve and + charged when it passes through the magnetic doctor blade.
Page 290
2FD/2FF/2FG Developing bias parameters For the bias to the developing sleeve, an alternating current (AC) is applied. Parameters for the developing bias are shown below. Duty Vp-p: Difference between the maximum and the minimum of applied voltage 1.72 kV (fixed) Vf: Frequency Typically 2.6 kHz.
2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-5 Transfer and separation sections The transfer and separation section consists mainly of the transfer roller, separation electrode and drum separation claws. A high voltage generated by the high-voltage transformer PCB (HVTPCB) is applied to the transfer roller for transfer charging (100 µA).

Also separation bias (SC REM) turns on.
2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-6 Cleaning and charge erasing sections The cleaning section consists of the cleaning blade that removes residual toner from the drum surface after the transfer process, and the cleaning spiral that carries the residual toner back to the waste toner tank. The cleaning lamp (CL) consists of LEDs and removes residual charge on the drum before main charging.

2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-7 Fixing section The fixing section consists of the parts shown in Figure 2-1-24. When paper reaches the fixing section after the transfer process, it passes between the press roller and heat roller, which is heated by fixing heaters M or S (FH-M or FH-S). Pressure is applied by the fixing unit pressure springs so that the toner on the paper is melted, fused and fixed onto the paper.

2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-8 Eject and switchback sections The eject and switchback sections eject paper on which fixing has ended with the eject roller that is rotated by forward rotation of the eject motor. In duplex copying, paper is turned over by reverse rotation of the eject motor. When paper is transferred to the job separator or the internal finisher, the feedshift solenoid (FSSOL) is turned on to activate the feedshift guide to switch the paper transfer path.

2FD/2FF/2FG 2-1-9 Duplex section The duplex section consists of the components shown in figure. In duplex mode, after copying on to the reverse face of the paper, the paper is reversed in the switchback section and conveyed to the duplex section. The paper is then conveyed to the copier paper feed section by the upper and lower duplex feed rollers.
