  • Page 45: Drum Charge

    DRUM UNIT 23 April 1993 2.3 DRUM CHARGE 2.3.1 Overview This copier uses a double corona wire scorotron system for drum charge. Two corona wires are required to give sufficient negative charge on the drum surface because of a rather high drum speed (330 mm/sec.). The stainless steel grid plate makes the corona charge uniform and controls the amount of negative charge on the drum surface by applying the negative grid bias voltage.
  • Page 46 23 April 1993 DRUM UNIT 2.3.2 Air Flow Around the Drum The exhaust fan [A] located above the fusing unit provides an air flow to the charge corona unit to prevent uneven built-up of negative ions that can cause an uneven charge of the drum surface as shown. An ozone filter [B] absorbs the ozone (O ) around the drum.
  • Page 47 DRUM UNIT 23 April 1993 2.3.3 Charge Wire Cleaning Mechanism The flow of air around the charge corona wire may deposit toner particles on the corona wires. These particles may interfere with charging and cause low density bands on copies. The wire cleaner pads [A] automatically clean the wires to prevent such a problem.

    23 April 1993 DEVELOPMENT 4.5 TONER SUPPLY 4.5.1 Toner Supply Mechanism When the toner supply clutch [A] turns on, the agitator [B] moves the toner from front to rear and sends the toner to the toner supply roller. The toner supply clutch [A] located inside the development motor [C] applies the rotation from the development motor to the toner supply roller gear [D], which drives the agitator gear [E].
  • Page 79 DEVELOPMENT 23 April 1993 4.5.2 Toner End Detection The toner end sensor [A] detects if sufficient toner remains in the toner hopper or not. The toner end sensor monitors toner end condition once when the toner supply clutch turns on. When there is little toner inside the toner hopper and toner pressure on the toner end sensor becomes low, the toner end sensor outputs a pulse signal for each (one detection per one copy).

  • Page 92: Frr Feed System

    23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.2 FRR FEED SYSTEM This copier uses an FRR paper feed system using three rollers. 6.2.1 Pick-up Roller The pick-up roller [A] is not in contact with the paper stack before it starts feeding paper. Shortly after the Start key is pressed, the pick-up roller drops down and feeds the top sheet between the feed [B] and the separation rollers [C].
  • Page 93 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 The direction in which the separation roller [A] turns depends on the frictional forces acting on it. The slip clutch applies a constant clockwise force (F1). When there is a single sheet of paper being driven between the rollers, the force of friction between the feed roller [B] and the paper (F2) is greater than F1.
  • Page 94: Slip Clutch Mechanism

    23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.3 SLIP CLUTCH MECHANISM The slip clutch [A] consists of the input hub [B] and the output hub [C] which is the case of the clutch as well. The magnetic ring [D] and the steel spacers [E] are fitted onto the input hub.
  • Page 95 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.4 FRR FEED DRIVE MECHANISM The rotation of the paper feed motor [A] is transmitted to the gear [B] via the timing belt [C], and then transmitted to the separation roller via the feed clutch gear [D], gear [E], gear [F] and gear [G]. If the paper feed station is not selected, the separation roller solenoid [H] de-activates and the separation roller [I] rotates freely in the reverse direction of paper feeding.
  • Page 96 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED When the paper feed station is selected and the start key is pressed, the feed clutch [A], separation roller solenoid [B], and the pick-up solenoid [C] turn on at once. When the feed clutch [A] activates to rotate the feed roller [D], the feed roller and the pick-up roller [E] turn together because they are linked by the idle gear [F].
  • Page 97: Separation Roller Release Mechanism

    PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.5 SEPARATION ROLLER RELEASE MECHANISM In this model, the separation roller [A] is normally away from the feed roller [B]. When the paper feed station is selected, the separation roller solenoid [C] contacts the separation roller to the feed roller as explained in the previous two pages.
  • Page 98 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.6 PAPER RETURN MECHANISM 3 mm When the paper feed clutch [A] activates and the feed roller drive shaft [B] rotates, the lever [C] rotates together with the shaft. However, the lever is immediately stopped by the stopper [D]. After all paper is fed and the paper feed clutch turns off, the paper feed motor still rotates to turn the separation roller [E] in the reverse direction.
  • Page 99: Paper Skew Prevention Mechanism

    PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.7 PAPER SKEW PREVENTION MECHANISM In this model, paper corner holders [A] are not used to facilitate paper loading. Instead of the corner holders, both paper press arms [B] press down both paper side edges, especially in the case of paper with a face curl. This helps to keep paper from being guided by the tray side fences to prevent paper skew or jam.

    23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.8 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM When the tray is set in the machine, the machine detects this condition by using several detection methods as shown in the table: Feed station A095 copier A096 copier Tray set switch Tray set signal through the connector Paper size switch Paper size switch...
  • Page 101 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 When the lift motor turns on, the pick-up solenoid [A] activates to lower the pick-up roller [B]. When the top sheet of paper reaches the proper paper feed level, the paper pushes up the pick-up roller and the actuator [C] on the pick-up roller supporter [D] activates the lift sensor [E] to stop the lift motor.
  • Page 102 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.9 PAPER NEAR END / PAPER END DETECTION A feeler [A] on the lift arm shaft rotates counterclockwise in accordance with the change of the top paper level. When almost 50 sheets are left on the tray, the feeler activate the paper near end sensor [B] and informs the copier CPU of the paper near end condition.
  • Page 103 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.10 TANDEM FEED TRAY (A096 COPIER ONLY) 6.10.1 OVERVIEW 500 sheets of paper can be set in each of the left [A] and right trays [B]. Paper is fed from the right tray. When the paper in the right tray runs out, the paper in the left tray is automatically transported to the right tray.
  • Page 104 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.10.2 Fences Drive Mechanism The side fences [A] of the right tray are normally closed. They open only when paper in the left tray is transported to the right tray. The side fences are driven by the side fence drive motor [B] (stepping motor). When the paper loaded in the left tray is transported to the right tray, the side fence drive motor turns counterclockwise to open the side fences until the side fence positioning sensor [C] is activated.
  • Page 105 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.10.3 Rear Fence Drive Mechanism When the paper end sensor [A] in the left tray detects paper and the paper end sensor in the right tray detects the paper end condition, the rear fence drive motor [B] (dc motor) in the left tray rotates counterclockwise to drive the rear fence [C] to push the paper into the right tray.
  • Page 106 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.10.4 Tray Lock Mechanism Normally the left tray lock lever [A] in the right tray [B] fits in the hole [C] in the left tray [D]. During copying, if there is no paper in the left tray, the tray lock solenoid [E] turns on to release the tray lock lever so that the left tray can be separated from the right tray.

  • Page 112 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.14.2 Tray Lock Mechanism When the tray starts moving up, the tray lock lever [A] drops in the hole on the base plate to engage the stopper [B], locking the tray in position. This prevents the tray from being pulled out while in the up position. When the bottom plate is lowered to the bottom position, the bottom plate presses down the pin [C] on the lock lever.
  • Page 113: By-Pass Feed Table

    PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.15 BY-PASS FEED TABLE 6.15.1 Feed Mechanism / Paper End Detection The by-pass feed table uses the FRR feed system. The by-pass feed motor [A], pick-up solenoid [B], and by-pass feed clutch [C] control paper feeding from the by-pass feed table.
  • Page 114 23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.15.2 Table Open/Close Detection When the by-pass feed table is opened, the by-pass table switch [A] is activated by part of the feed table [B]. Then the CPU turns on the by-pass feed indicator on the operation panel. On this model, opening the by-pass feed table does not shift the copier into interrupt mode.
  • Page 115 PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.15.3 Paper Size Detection The paper width detection is necessary to decide the lens horizontal position because the standard position of the optics (rear left corner) and the paper (center) is different. The by-pass paper size sensor [A] (variable resistor) monitors the paper width.
  • Page 116: Paper Registration

    23 April 1993 PAPER FEED 6.16 PAPER REGISTRATION The registration rollers [A] have two functions. One is aligning the lead edge of the paper with the leading edge of the latent image on the OPC drum. When the CPU receives the signal from the registration sensor, the registration clutch turns on.
  • Page 117: Registration Drive Mechanism

    PAPER FEED 23 April 1993 6.17 REGISTRATION DRIVE MECHANISM Through the timing belt [A], main motor [B] rotation is transmitted to the registration clutch [C].
