  • Page 176 INTRODUCTION The A172/A199 copier (product name: LILY) is based on the A109 copier (DFC-ALPHA), the base copier. This documentation gathers the A172/A199 differing points from the base copier that service personnel will need to maintain this copier. Therefore, this documentation should be treated as a insert version of the base copier’s service manual, although it has a separate binder.

For these toners, the amount of toner inside the development unit will gradually increase every 50 copies, since toner agitation is performed at this interval, and some toner is added at this time (see section 6.1).
  • Page 207 10 May 1996 DRUM UNIT 3. DRUM UNIT 3.1 DRUM CHARGE This copier uses a single corona wire scorotron system to charge the drum. The corona wire applies a negative charge to the drum surface. The striped stainless steel grid plate makes the corona charge uniform and controls the negative charge on the drum surface to -650 V (standard) by applying a negative grid bias voltage.
