SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Installation Environment

Safety considerations usually are directed toward machine design and the possibility of human error. In addition, the environment in which a machine is operated must not be overlooked as a potential safety hazard.

Most electrical equipment is safe when installed in a normal environment. However, if the environment is different from what most people consider to be normal, it is conceivable that the combination of the machine and the room air could present a hazardous combination. This is because heat (such as from fusing units) and electrical arcs (which can occur inside switches) have the ability to ignite flammable substances, including air.

When installing a machine, check to see if there is anything nearby which suggests that a potential hazard might exist. For example, a laboratory might use organic compounds which, when they evaporate, make the room air volatile. Potentially dangerous conditions might be seen or smelled. The presence of substances such as cleaners, paint thinners, gasoline, alcohol, solvents, explosives, or similar items should be cause for concern.

If conditions such as these exist, take appropriate action, such as one of the following suggestions.

• Determine that the environment is controlled (such as through the use of an exhaust hood) so that an offending substance or its fumes cannot reach the machine.

• Remove the offending substance.

• Install the machine in a different location.

The specific remedy will vary from site to site, but the principles remain the same. To avoid the risk of injury or damage, be alert for changes in the environment when performing subsequent service on any machine, and take appropriate action.

Unauthorized Modifications

Konica copiers have gained a reputation for being reliable products. This has been attained by a combination of outstanding design and a knowledgeable service force.

The design of the copier is extremely important. It is the design process that determines tolerances and safety margins for mechanical, electrical, and electronic aspects. It is not reasonable to expect individuals not involved in product engineering to know what

effect may be caused by altering any aspect of the machine's design. Such changes have the potential of degrading product performance and reducing safety margins.

For these reasons, installation of any modification not specifically authorized by Konica Business Machines U.S.A., Inc., is strictly prohibited.

The following list of prohibited actions is not ali-inclusive, but demonstrates the intent of this policy.

• Using an extension cord or any unauthorized power cord adapter.

• Installing any fuse whose rating and physical size differs from that originally installed.

• Using wire, paper clips, solder, etc., to replace or eliminate any fuse (including temperature fuses).

• Removing (except for replacement) any air filter.

• Defeating the operation of relays by any means (such as wedging paper between contacts).

• Causing the machine to operate in a fashion other than as it was designed.

• Making any change which might have a chance of defeating built-in safety features.

• Using any unspecified replacement parts.

General Safety Guidelines

This copier has been examined in accordance with the laws pertaining to various product safety regulations prior to leaving the manufacturing facility to protect the operators and service personnel from injury. However, as with any operating device, components will break down through the wear-and-tear of everyday use, as will additional safety discrepancies be discovered. For this reason, it is important that the technician periodically performs safety checks on the copier to maintain optimum reliability and safety.

The following checks, not all-inclusive, should be made during each service call:

CAUTION: Avoid injury. Ensure that the copier is disconnected from its power source before continuing.

• Look for sharp edges, burrs, and damage on all external covers and copier frame.

• Inspect all cover hinges for wear (loose or broken).

• Inspect cables for wear, frays, or pinched areas.

vii

• Ensure that the power cord insulation is not damaged (no exposed electrical conductors).

• Ensure that the power cord is properly mounted to the frame by cord clamps.

• Check the continuity from the round lug (GNO) of the power cord to the frame of the copier- ensure continuity. An improperly grounded machine can cause an electrically-charged machine frame.

Safeguards During Service Calls Confirm that all screws, parts, and wiring which are removed during maintenance are installed in their original positions.

• When disconnecting connectors, do not pull the wiring, particularly on AC line wiring and high voltage parts.

• Do not route the power cord where it is likely to be stepped on or crushed.

• Carefully remove all toner and dirt adhering to any electrical units or electrodes.

• After part replacement or repair work, route the wiring in such a way that it does not contact any burrs or sharp edges.

• Do not make any adjustments outside of the specified range.

Applying Isopropyl Alcohol

Care should be exercised when using isopropyl alcohol, due to its flammability. When using alcohol to clean parts, observe the following precautions:

• ,Remove power from the equipment.

• Use alcohol in small quantities to avoid spillp.ge or puddling. Any spillage should be cleaned up with rags and disposed of properly.

• Be sure that there is adequate ventilation.

• Allow a surface which has been in contact with alcohol to dry for a few minutes to ensure that the alcohol has evaporated completely before applying power or installing covers.

Summary

It is the responsibility of every technician to use professional skills when servicing Konica products. There are no short cuts to high-quality service. Each copier must be thoroughly inspected with respect to safety considerations as part of every routine service call. The operability of the copier, and more importantly, the safety of those who operate or service the copier, are directly dependent upon the conscientious effort of each and every technician.

Remember ... when performing service calls, use good judgement (have a watchful eye) to identify safety hazards or potential safety hazards that may be present, and correct these problem-areas as they are identified - the safety of those who operate the copier as well as those who service the copier depend on it!

• Inspect all cover hinges for wear (loose or broken).

• Inspect cables for wear, frays, or pinched areas.

ix

• Ensure that the power cord insulation is not damaged (no exposed electrical conductors).

• Ensure that the power cord is properly mounted to the frame by cord clamps.

• Check the continuity from the round lug (GND) of the power cord to the frame oftne copier-ensure continUity. An improperly grounded machine can cause an electrically~d1arged machine frame.

Safeguards During Service Calls Confirm tha.t all screws, parts; and wiring which are removed during maintenance are installed in their original positions.

• When disconnecting connectors, do not pull the wiring, particularly on AC line wiring and high

voltage parts.' .

• Do not route the power cord where it is Iik,(3ly to be stepped on or crushed.

• Carefully remove all toner and dirt adhering to any electrical units or electrodes.

• After part reptacement.or repair work, route the wiring in such away that if does not contact any burrsor sharp edges.

• Do not make any adjustments outside of the specified range;

Applying Isopropyl Alcohol

Care should be'exerclsed when using isoPfopYI alcohol, due to its flammability. When using alcohol to clean parts, observe the following precautions:

• Remove power from the equipment.

• Use alcohol in small quantities to avoid spillage or puddling. Any spillage should,be cleaned up with rags and disposed of properly.'

• Be sure that.there is adequate ventilation ..

• Allow a surface which has been in contact with alcohol to dry for a few minutes to ensure that the alcohol has evaporated completely before applying power or installing covers.

Summary

r

It. is the responsibility of every technlcian to use professional skills when servicing Konica products.There are no short cuts to high-quality servi~~.Each copier must be thoroughly inspected with respect to safety considerations as part of every routine service call.

, The operability of the' copier, and more importantly, the safety of those who operate or seryicethe.copier, are directly. dependent upon the cons'Cientious effort of each and every technician.

Remember ... when perfqrming service calls, use good judgement (have a watchful eye) to identify safety Hazards or potential safety hazards that may be preIsent,ahd correct these problem areas as they are identified - the safety of those who operate the copier as well as those who service the copier depend on it!

SAFETY CIRCUITS

The electrical circuit of this machine contains the following safety circuits to prevent an accident from occurring in the event of an abnormality.

[1] Overall safety circuit protector

[2] L 1 (exposure lamp) overheating protection circuit

[3] l2, L3, L4 (fixing heater lamp) overheating protection

circuit

These safety circuits are described below to provide the service enginear with a renewed awareness of them in order to prevent servicing errors that may impair their function.

Overall Safety Circuit Protector

Protection function provided by software

When the L 1 CaNT signal output from the protection function CB (control board) by software becomes [L], L 1 lights. At the same time, the L 1 FB signal, which indicates that L 1 is lit, is output from CVR to the CB.

The CB monitors both the L 1 CaNT and L 1 FB signals. If they differ from each other, RL 1 (main relay) will be turned OFF, and power to L 1 will be cut off.

& CAUTION: The function of RL 1 must not be deactivated under any circumstances.

Protection function using H.T. (hardware timer circuit)

If L 1 remains lit for more than prescribed time because of some abnormality, the hardware timer on CVR will operate, forcibly cutting off the relay on this board.

ih CAUTiON: The tunctlon of relay must not be deactivated under any circumstances.

Protection function using f1 (optics temperature fuse)

If the temperature in the vicinity of f1 rises above prescribed temperature f1 will blow, cutting off the flow of current to L 1.

it. CAUTION: Do not under any circumstances use a piece of wire, etc., In place of 11.

Protection function provided by software

This function turns OFF L2 (fixing heater lamp 1 ), L3 (fixing heater lamp 2), L4(fixing heater lamp 3) and RL 1 (main relay) in theevent that the output voltage from TH1 (fixing temperature sensor 1) read the CPU is abnormal.

Lt CAUTION: Periodically check .the contact face of TH1 with respect to the roller, and replace TH1 if it is abnormal.

The function of RL 1 must not be deactivated uncler any circumstances.

Protection function provided by hardware (circuit) This function uses a comparator circuit which compares the output voltage of TH1 and TH2 (fixing temperature sensor 2) with the abnormal [udqment reference value .

. It disconnects L2, L3, L4 and RL 1 from the circuit in the event that the output voltage of TH 1 or TH2 exceeds the reference value.

& CAUTION: Periodically check the contact face of TH1 , TH2 with respect to the ro II er, and replace TH1, TH2 if it is abnormal.

The function of RL 1 must not be deactivated under any.clrcumstances,

Protection ,function . provided by. TS1 (thermostat (upper»' anCi TS2 (thermostat (lower»

This function tumsOFF TS 1 o~ T82, directly cutting off the power to L2, L3 and L4, if tlie temperature of the either upper fixing roller or lower fixing roller exceeds the specified value.

Fig.4 Outline

The analog signal produced by opto-electric conversion by the eeo sensor on the AiD board is subjected to analog processing, then AiD-converted, and subjected to image processing. Image processing consists of shading correction, brightness/ density conversion, AES processing, text/dot pattern judgement, filter/magnification change processing, copy Y correction, write density correction, and 2-beam control. In addition, error diffusion processing and data compression are carried out within electronic RDH.

Analog Processing

In the analog processing board, the minute signals from the eeD sensor are amplified and also level-shifted into the AiD conversion range.

Amplification and level-shifting take place automatically at the shading correction timing by an electronic variable resistor, hence there is no need to perform manual adjustment.

AID Conversion

The image signals from the analog processing board are converted one pixel at a time into3-bit digital signals.

Shading Correction

Shading correction is done to even out the light distribution of the eeD sensor. The following correction takes place at the specified timing.

White correction

The voltage output from each pixel of the eeD sensor when the white reference plate is exposed to the light from the exposure lamp is memorized as the maximum output value for that pixel.

Black correction

The output voltage from each pixel of the eeD sensor when the exposure lamp is out is memorized as the minimum output voltage for that pixel.

* Based on the difference between the white and black data for each pixel memorized in 1 and 2 above, the calculated result that indicates the number of the step corresponding to the image data read from the original is output to an accuracy of 10 bits.

Brightness/Density Conversion

The signal resulting from shading correction corresponds to the light reflected off the original, hence it is generally called a brightness signal. The brightness/density conversion section converts the brightness signal into a density signal, as shown below.

MAIN BOOY

Magnification Pro~~,iP,9rl"al'/

In an analog machine, the liteFi~ePltel magnification is changed by ch~np.ing the scanning speed of the exposure unit, and

fr"'\leMe~n;gnification,by c)1~ng~~ th~ position of the lens. In this machine, the b'gEi~~t:a- m99rlification is changed by ~::!~ the scanning speed of the exposure unit, and the

F'r. rrflgnification by means of electrical image processing.

The read unit of the CCO (63.5 IJm) and the write unit of the laser (63.5IJm) are equal to each other, and remain unc~:Zf'f -f

when the copy image is enlarged or reduced in the r/

direction. As a result, write data that corresponds exactly to the write position when the image is enlarged or reduced in the vertical direction sometimes fails to exist.

Frl/,.f fv fi n--

\'ertieel magnification change processing during enlargement

As shown in the example of Fig.10, if the pixel data obtained when the original is read by the CCO is 01 to Ds, the positions of the read data when the image is enlarged are E1 to Es.. However, the following problems will occur if the write data consists of this read data alone.

(a) There will be a gap between one data and the next, resulting in gaps in the image.

(b) The data position and write position will not coincide

exactly.

Consequently, if read data that corresponds exactly to the write position fails to exist, as indicated by the dotted lines of Fig.1 0, the write density is determined as shown below.

As shown in the example of Fig.11, if the pixel data obtained when the original is read by the CCO is 01 to Ds, the positions of the read data when the image is reduced overlap each other as indicated by RHo R5, hence the write positions fail to coincide with the read positions. Therefore, the write density is determined as shown below.

This function reverses the input brightness data in order to reverse black and white when the reverse copy mode is selected.

Copy 'Y Correction

The copy 'Y correction function selects the density curve corresponding to the density selected by the density button on the operation panel. The selected density curve is applied to the data that was subjected to filter/magnification change processing.

Suitable density curves are provided for the text, photo and text photo modes.

Fine Adjustment Prism

This prism performs fine adjustment of the beam radiated from each semiconductor laser in the left-right and up-down directions.

Polygon Mirror

This is a multi-sided mirror which converts the laser beam intc a scanning beam, An .octagonal mirror is used in this machine. Figure 18 shows the appearance of the polygon mirror.

Fig.18

f8Lens

The polygon mirror rotates at a constant angular speed. Consequently, if a general image forming lens were to be used, the speed at which the laser beam scans the surface of the drum would vary at the center and the both edge of the drum, as shown in Fig.19.

An f9 lens is used to maintain the scanning speed constant over the entire length of the drum.

MAIN BODY

Cylindrical Lenses

Two lenses, cylindrical lens 1 (Cy1) and cylindrical lens 2 (Cy1), are used to eliminate the tilt error of the polygon mirror. Cylindrical lenses 1 and 2 are installed before and after the polygon mirror, as shown in Fig.21. The laser beam is focused on the polygon mirror by means of cylindrical lens 1, and the light reflected off the polygon mirror is once again focused on the drum by means of cylindrical lens 2.

The optical relationship between the polygon mirror and the drum face with respect to cylindrical lens 2 is that of image and object. Consequently, even if the polygon mirror is tilted, the light path is corrected by cylindrical lens 2, ensuring that the beam is scanned along the same line.

IPS The analog image data from the CCD sensoris AID-converted by the ADB (AID converter board), then sent to the IPB (image processing board) where it is data-processed. The processed image data is converted into laser beam and applied to the drum with the control signals from the CB. There are two lasers which are used to write two lines of image data in a single scan. The write start position of each laser is detected by the INDXSB (index sensor board). The E-RDH (electronic RDH) can store digitized image data. Various editing functions can be carried out based on this data.

Operation

Image processing

The following processing is done by the IPB (image processing board).

(1) Shading correction Implementation timing

a) White correction

• When the machine is switched ON

• Every 1000 copies b) Black correction

• When the Copy button is pressed (2) Brightness/density conversion

(3) AES processing

(4) Text/dot pattern judgement (5) Filtering

(6) Magnification change processing (7) Copy y correction

(8) Write density control

WRITE UNIT

(7) Copy y correction (8) Write density control

The following processing is performed by the E-RDH (electronic RDH processing board).

a) Error diffusion processing

b) Data compression and de-compression

c) Image rotation

d) ??Combination (=composite)?? (2-in-1, 4-in-1, 8-in-1) The write operation takes place under instructions from the CB after the above processing has been completed.

b. Write

The IPB (image processing board) sends image data one pixel at a time to LDB1 and LDB2 in accordance with control signals from the CB (control board).

LDB1 and LDB2 cause the lasers to emit at a time period corresponding to the image data. This laser light is applied to the drum.

(1) APC (automatic adjustment of laser beam intensity) The CB monitors the laser drive current at fixed intervals, and maintains the light intensity at the correct value.

APC takes place at the following timing.

a) Before Dmaxigradation correction

b) When the Copy button is pressed

c) After each two copies during a continuous copy operation

d) When the front door is opened and closed.

Note: MPC

MPC is the data (00-99 steps)stored in the NVRAM in main body, which determines LD output power to be adjusted later by APC.

Can be read out by 47-036, 47-037.

MPC value is sent from CB to IPB in case of a) or b) in (1).

After the specified period from when PS 18 (no feed) goes ON

• In the case of by-pass paper feed:

After the specified period from the start of bypass paper feed

(3) Laser beam position correction

a) Axial direction of drum

The index sensor detects the deviation of the positions of the 2 beams. This error is corrected by changing the timing of the light emission from the laser.

b) Direction of rotation of drum

The index sensor detects the deviation of the positions of the 2 beams, and M40 (laser correction motor) changes the angle of the fine adjustment prism of laser LD1, thus adjusting the beam in the up-down direction.

Removing and Reinstalling the Drum Caution:

1. Be careful not to touch the drum or the cleaning blade with bare hands, or damage these parts.

2. When leaving the drum to stand, be sure to place the drum cover over it and store it in a dark place.

3. When reinstalling the drum, cleaning blade and guide roller, apply setting powder to the entire surface of the drum and also to the cleaning blade regardless of whether or not the parts are new or old types. In addition, apply toner to both ends of the cleaning blade.

4. After applying setting powder to the drum, carry out the following work before installing the drum unit on the main body.

1) To ensure that the toner density is correct, before installing the drum to the drum unit, discharge the surface of ydetection sensor and the Dmax sensor on the control board by using a piece of cloth moistened with alcohol, thus preventing toner from adhering to the sensors.

2) After installling the drum to the drum unit, with the charging corona unit and the developing unit removed, insert the centering jigs into both sides of the drum, then turn the drum one revolution. This prevents setting powder from scattering onto the charging corona unit, and other parts, and also prevents image defects.

5. When installing the drum, be careful of the orientation of the drum. The end of the drum with the wider nonimage area is the front.

6. When installing a new drum, be sure to enter code 91 of the 47 mode and reset the process counter (drum counter). (For details, refer to "Adjustment section".)

Procedure

(1) Remove the drum unit from the main body.

(2) Remove the charging corona unit, developing unit and cleaning blade from the drum unit. (For the sequence of removing these parts, referto "Charging corona unit, Developing unit and cleaning/recycle unit section".)
