    3. DRUM PROCESSES 1. Charge In the dark the charge corona unit applies a negative charge to the drum. The grid plate ensures the charge is applied uniformly. The charge remains on the surface of the drum because the photoconductive drum has a high electrical resistance in the dark.
  • Page 29 3. Development The magnetic developer brush on the development roller comes in contact with the latent image on the drum surface. Toner particles are electrostatically attracted to the negatively charged latent image areas. 4. Pre-Transfer Lamp The pre-transfer lamp (PTL) illuminates the drum prior to image transfer. This reduces the attraction between the toner and the drum, thus making image transfer easier.

  • Page 37: Drum

    DRUM 1.1 DRUM CHARACTERISTICS The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum has the following characteristics: It is able to accept a high negative electrical charge in the dark. (The electrical resistance of the OPC drum is high in the absence of light.) The electric charge on the drum surface dissipates when the drum is exposed to light.
  • Page 38: Drum Drive

    1.2 DRUM DRIVE The OPC drum [A] is 80 millimeters in diameter and 970 millimeters long. It turns constantly when the main motor [B] is on. When the main motor turns on, the drive is transmitted to the drum in the following way: main motor drive gear [C] idle gears [D]...
  • Page 39: Charge

    CHARGE 2.1 OVERVIEW Charge Charge/ Grid Power Pack Grid This model uses a single wire corona unit [A] to charge the OPC (organic photoconductor) drum [B]. The corona unit generates a corona of negative ions when a high negative voltage is applied to it by the charge/grid power pack. To make the negative corona uniform, a grid consisting of 8 wires is installed on the charge corona unit between the corona wire and the drum.
  • Page 40: Charge Corona Circuit

    Rev. 5/95 2.2 CHARGE CORONA CIRCUIT Charge/Bias/Grid PP CN243 CN340-1 24V Va CN340-2 CN243-8 CN106 Main Board DC/DC CN340-3 Converter Charge CN106 Grid Drive CN340-4 DC/DC Grid Detect CN340-6 -A10 Converter The PSU supplies +24 volts (V ) to the charge/bias/grid power pack as the power supply source.
  • Page 41: Corona Unit Ventilation

    2.3 CORONA UNIT VENTILATION If ozone produced by the corona charge stays in the charge corona area, it may cause uneven corona charging to the drum. To prevent this, ozone is vacuumed out through the exhaust fan [A], and changed to oxygen by the ozone filter before being blown out of the copier.
  • Page 42: Exposure

    EXPOSURE 3.1 OVERVIEW Light from the exposure lamp [A] reflects off the original and through the fiber optics [B] to the OPC drum [C]. During exposure, the original moves across the exposure glass at the same speed as the drum’s peripheral velocity. The platen plate [D] presses the original [E] flat against the exposure glass [F] just above the fiber optic array.
  • Page 43: Paper And Original Feed

    Rev. 5/95 3.2 PAPER AND ORIGINAL FEED 3.2.1 Basic Operation (Manual Feed) When the entrance sensor [A] of the manual feed table detects the leading edge of the copy paper, the main motor starts rotating and the drum process (exposure lamp, change corona,...

  • Page 49: Development

    Rev. 5/95 DEVELOPMENT 4.1 OVERVIEW [C] [B] When the main motor turns on, the paddle roller [A] and development roller [B] start turning. The paddle roller picks up developer in its paddles and transports it to the development roller. Internal magnets in the development roller attract the developer to the development roller sleeve.
  • Page 50: Drive Mechanism

    4.2 DRIVE MECHANISM When the main motor [A] is on, the paddle roller [B], development roller [C], and mixing auger [D] in the development unit are driven through the development drive chain [E] and gears [F]. The toner agitator shaft [G] is rotated through the gears [H] by the toner supply clutch [I] engaged in the toner supply condition.
  • Page 51: Cross-Mixing

    4.3 CROSS-MIXING "Cross-mixing" keeps the developer’s toner and carrier evenly mixed and evenly distributes the developer within the development unit. Cross-mixing also agitates the developer to generate the necessary triboelectric charge on the toner and carrier particles. The arrows in the above illustration show the developer movement directions within the machine.
  • Page 52: Toner Density Control

    4.4 TONER DENSITY CONTROL The toner supply amount ratio is determined by the following conditions. 51 ~ 100 101 ~ 150 151 ~ 200 201 ~ 250 0 ~ 50 sheets 251 sheets ~ sheets sheets sheets sheets Level (~ 30 m) (150 m ~) (30 ~ 60 m) (60 ~ 90 m)
  • Page 53: Toner Near End Condition

    4.4.1 Toner Near End Condition When TS level 5 is detected 3 times in a row, the toner near end condition is detected and the add toner indicator starts flashing. When in the toner near end condition, 16 more meters (A1/D size: 27 copies) can be copied. Then the add toner indicator will light and the machine will not operate.

FB Circuit CN104-B21 Coils The toner density sensor circuit controls the amount of toner in the developer mixture. The toner density sensor is powered by 12 volts from CN104-A11 of the main board.
  • Page 55: Development Bias

    4.5 DEVELOPMENT BIAS 4.5.1 Basic Concept When the drum is exposed, most of the negative charge is eliminated from the areas where light strikes the drum. This leaves a negative charge pattern corresponding to the dark areas of the original. After exposure, however, a small residual charge of about --100 volts (for white paper) remains in the exposed areas.
  • Page 56: Toner Supply

    4.6 TONER SUPPLY To allow a compact design, the toner supply mechanism is built into the toner cartridge. An agitator [A] in the toner cartridge turns when the toner supply clutch is engaged. As the agitator rotates, mylar strips [B] on the ends of the agitator force toner through small holes (0.5 mm in diameter) in a plastic strip [C] along one side of the toner cartridge.
  • Page 57: Image Transfer And Paper Separation

    Rev. 5/95 IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION [A] [C] [D] 5.1 PRE-TRANSFER LAMP (PTL) After the latent image is developed but before the image is transferred to the copy paper, the drum surface is illuminated by the pre-transfer lamp [A]. This illumination reduces the negative potential on the drum surface.
  • Page 58: Pick-Off Mechanism

    5.4 PICK-OFF MECHANISM The pick-off pawl solenoid [A] is energized after the registration clutch turns on to feed the copy paper to the drum. The pick-off shaft [B] then rotates clockwise and the pick-off pawls [C] touch the drum surface. Just after the leading edge of the copy paper passes the pick-off pawls, the pick-off solenoid turns off again.
  • Page 59: T/S Corona Circuit

    5.5 T/S CORONA CIRCUIT Rev. 5/95 The T/S power pack is powered by +24 volts (Va) from the PSU. The dc/dc converters and dc/ac inverter change the +24 volts supply into the high voltages used by the transfer and separation coronas. The main board turns on the transfer corona using PWM signal (T.Drive).
  • Page 60: Cleaning

    CLEANING 6.1 OVERVIEW This copier uses the counter blade system for drum cleaning. The blade [A] is angled against the drum rotation. This counter blade system has the advantage of high cleaning efficiency. The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is transferred to the copy paper.
  • Page 61: Collection Of Used Toner

    6.2 COLLECTION OF USED TONER The toner collection coil [A], which is rotated by the main motor [B] through the gears [C], moves used toner from the cleaning unit to the toner collection bottle [D]. The toner collection bottle capacity is enough to hold used toner from making 1220 m copies.
  • Page 62: Quenching

    Rev. 5/95 QUENCHING After the drum [A] is cleaned by the cleaning blade, light from the quenching lamp [B] neutralizes any charge remaining on the drum. The quenching lamp turns on and off at the same time as the main motor. The main board turns on the quenching lamp LEDs by dropping CN104-B26 to 0 volt.
  • Page 63: Fusing And Paper Exit

    FUSING AND PAPER EXIT 8.1 OVERVIEW After separation from the drum, copy paper rides on the transport plate [A]. The small separation rollers [B] hold the paper against the transport plate so that the back curled paper is straightened before it enters the fusing section. Two rollers fuse the image to the copy paper by applying heat and pressure.
  • Page 64: Drive Mechanism

    8.2 DRIVE MECHANISM 8.2.1 Fusing Unit Drive The hot roller [A] is turned by the hot roller drive gear [B] as shown. The pressure roller [C] is friction driven by the hot roller. The fusing rollers turn constantly when the main motor [D] is on, driven via the gear [E], through the fusing drive chain [F], sprocket [G], and gear [H], to the hot roller drive gear.
  • Page 65: Fusing Temperature Control

    Rev. 5/95 8.3 FUSING TEMPERATURE CONTROL 8.3.1 Fusing Circuit Operation The fusing lamp is powered by the ac drive board and controlled by the main board. The ac drive board receives direct wall voltage ac power (not stepped down) at T201 and T202.
  • Page 66: Overheat Protection

    8.3.2 Overheat Protection The overheat protection circuit on the main board turns off the fusing lamp if the temperature goes too high. The input from TH1 (Hot Roller Thermistor) goes to pin 3 of IC17 as well as to the CPU.
  • Page 67: Temperature Control

    8.4 TEMPERATURE CONTROL Roller Temp. ( C) Pressure Roller Temp. ( C) Operating Temperature Lower Limit Lower Limit The main board monitors the temperature of the hot roller through TH1 and the temperature of the pressure roller through TH2. The CPU determines whether or not to turn on the fusing lamp based on the combination of the input from these two thermistors.
  • Page 68 The operating temperature of the hot roller and pressure roller can be adjusted using SP #--7 and SP #--8. These programs are used to compensate for variations in the response of different thermistors. SP #--7 adjusts the hot roller temperature and SP #--8 adjusts the pressure roller temperature. SP #--7 shift the temperature in 1 degree increments (--9°C to +9°C).

    4. MECHANICAL OPERATION 4.1 BASIC OPERATION The paper feed rollers [A], which are turned by the paper feed motor, feed paper from the paper roll [B] through the cutter unit [C] to the paper leading edge sensor [D] according to the signal from the copier. When the paper feed motor starts, the copier CPU starts measuring the length of the paper.
  • Page 198 Rev. 5/95 After the leading edge of the paper reaches the exit rollers [A], the paper is directed to the copier registration roller [B]. The registration roller stops rotating after the registration sensor [C] detects the leading edge of the copy paper. The copy paper is fed to the registration roller and stops to wait for the original.
