DRUM CLEANING AND TONER RECYCLING 21 July 2006 6.10 DRUM CLEANING AND TONER RECYCLING 6.10.1 DRUM CLEANING B205D933.WMF The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is transferred to the paper. This model uses a counter blade system. The cleaning blade scrapes off toner remaining on the drum.
21 July 2006 DRUM CLEANING AND TONER RECYCLING 6.10.2 TONER RECYCLING B205D934.WMF B205D935.WMF Toner picked up by the toner collection coil [A], is transported to the opening [B] in the side of the PCU. Then, this toner falls into the development unit with new toner coming from the toner bottle and it is all mixed together by mixing auger 1 [C] and used again.
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11 PAPER FEED 6.11.1 OVERVIEW B205D936.WMF There are two paper trays, each of which can hold 500 sheets. The paper tray feed stations use a friction pad system. The two relay sensors are used for paper jam detection. The components of the paper feed station are as follows.
21 July 2006 PAPER FEED 6.11.2 PAPER FEED DRIVE MECHANISM B205D937.WMF The main motor [A] drives the pick-up and feed mechanism of both the first and second paper trays. The paper feed clutches [B] transfer drive from this motor to the paper feed rollers [C].
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.3 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION MECHANISM B205D938.WMF The paper feed roller [A] drives the top sheet of paper from the paper tray to the copier. The friction pad [B] allows only one sheet to feed at a time. The friction pad applies pressure to the feed roller with a spring [C].
21 July 2006 PAPER FEED 6.11.4 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM B205D940.WMF B205D939.WMF The paper size switch detects when the tray is pushed in. When the paper tray is pushed into the machine, the pin [A] for the lift motor pressure shaft engages the lift motor coupling [B] and the pin [C] for the bottom plate lift shaft in the tray engages the bottom plate pressure lever coupling [D].
Page 392
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 The pressure of the feed roller on the paper is now too high, so the lift motor reverses a certain time (200 ms or 600 ms), depending on the paper size, to reduce this pressure. For smaller paper, it reverses the larger amount (600 ms) to reduce the pressure more.
21 July 2006 PAPER FEED 6.11.5 PAPER END DETECTION B205D941.WMF If there is some paper in the paper tray, the paper stack raises the paper end feeler [A] and the paper end sensor [B] is deactivated. When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout [C] in the tray bottom plate and the paper end sensor is activated.
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.6 PAPER HEIGHT DETECTION B205D942.WMF The amount of paper in the tray is detected by the combination of on/off signals from two paper height sensors [A] and [B]. The paper amount is displayed on the LCD.
Page 395
21 July 2006 PAPER FEED When the tray contains paper of a small width, the paper feed pressure may become too low when the thickness of the remaining stack of paper has decreased. The lift motor rotates forward 400 ms after the sensor detects a certain amount of paper remaining in the tray to increase paper feed pressure, simulating the pressure generated by a full tray.
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.7 FEED PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR PAPER SIZE Overview For the friction pad system, the pressure from the top of the stack against the feed roller is very important for paper feed quality from the paper tray. If the pressure is high, double feed may occur.
21 July 2006 PAPER FEED Feed Pressure Adjustment The pressure can be adjusted to solve a paper feed problem. This adjusts the amount of lift motor reverse just after the lift sensor is activated when lifting the stack to the paper feed position. To apply less pressure to the top of the stack, the amount of reverse should be increased.
Page 398
PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 From paper near end to paper end When paper is used up, the pressure on the bottom plate reduces, so the upward pressure increases, causing the pressure of the feed roller against the top of the stack to increase.

The high voltage supply board supplies a positive current to the transfer roller, which attracts the toner from the drum onto the paper.
IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION 21 July 2006 6.12.2 IMAGE TRANSFER CURRENT TIMING There are two transfer current levels: low transfer current level and high transfer current level. The image transfer procedure is as follows: 1. When the CPU receives the image writing start signal, the CPU instructs the high voltage supply board to supply +10µA (low transfer current level) to the roller.
21 July 2006 IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION 6.12.3 TRANSFER ROLLER CLEANING If the paper size is smaller than the image, or if a paper jam occurs during printing, toner may be transferred to the roller surface. To prevent the toner from transferring to the back side of the printouts, the transfer roller requires cleaning before the next printing run.
IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION 21 July 2006 6.12.4 PAPER SEPARATION MECHANISM B205D954.WMF B205D953.WMF The discharge plate [A] and the drum curvature of the drum help the paper to separate away from the drum. The high voltage supply board applies a constant dc voltage, -1.8 kV (when feeding from a paper tray) or –2.1 kV (from the duplex unit) to the discharge plate.
