(4) Operational descriptions
a. Drum cartridge and toner cartridge drive
The drive power for the drum cartridges are transmitted from the
drive motor (DM) to the drum gears.
The toner cartridge is driven through the drum gear and the con-
nection gear.
The motor (stepping motor) for black is driven by the drive signal
sent directly from the PCU, and the motors color are driven by the
drive signals sent from the PCU through the driver PWB.

Code, Signal name
— Forms electrostatic latent images.
MC Charges the OPC drum surface negatively.
— Discharges the OPC drum surface.
— Cleans the OPC drum surface to remove residual toner.
— Seals to prevent against toner leakage.
— Transports toner scraped by the cleaning blade to the waste toner box of the
toner cartridge.
— Cleans the MC (charging plate).
— Converts image signals into LED light and radiates it onto the OPC drum.
— Attaches toner to the OPC drum. (Do not touch the developing roller.)
— Memory for toner cartridge data (counter, etc.)
— Collects waste toner transported from the drum cartridge.
GB Controls the drum surface potential.
DL Radiates lights onto the discharge lens.
DM A, A', B, B' Drives the OPC drum.
TES Detects the toner quantity in the toner cartridge.

Function
b. LED (writing) unit
Four LED (writing) units are provided for each of Yellow, Magenta,
Cyan, and Black.
Each LED (writing) unit converts YMCK dot image data outputted
from the ICU PWB into LED light, and radiate the light onto the
OPC drum, forming electrostatic latent images on the OPC drum.
Since the position of each LED unit of CMYK is shifted in the
paper transport direction, the above operation depends on the rel-
ative position and differs in the operating timing.
