ROS ASSY
W A R N IN G „ Letting a laser beam get directly into your eyes could result in
loss of vision.
„ Never open the Cover where the Warning Label about Laser
Beam is affixed.
„ Before disassembling or assembling, be sure to turn the power
off.
„ If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly
follow the instructions in this manual.
„ Understand hazardous nature of the laser beam, use extreme
caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you.

C H E C K „ Since the laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more
P O IN T coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light),
the beam has excellent monochromaticity and convergence,
thus it reaches long distances.
„ Because of these characteristics, the laser beam converges into
one point, causing high density and high temperature, which is
harmful to the human body.
Reference: The laser beam in this printer is invisible. Ida_00_003A

During wait time, it consumes life of consumables.
Normally, default (10 seconds) is enough.
Changing the time may be required, with slow host environment and heavy job in
usual.
Saving life of consumables is possible by selecting an appropriate wait time to
reduce total operating time.

1.19 Handling Precautions


† Precautions When Turning Off the Power
This printer includes internal, nonvolatile memory (EEPROM), which stores
setting values important to operate the printer normally. If the power is cut off
during writing to the nonvolatile memory, the panel settings return to its default, or
a Service Call error may occur when turning the power back on. In addition, HDD
can be connected to this printer. If the power is cut off during writing to the HDD,
HDD error may occur as the values written to the HDD is not guaranteed.
The printer is executing the writing when it is in the following conditions, so never
turn the power off at those timings.
„ From the time the power is turned on until the Ready LED lights up steadily
„ When the Ready LED is flashing
„ When the printer is printing (while the paper feed motor is operating)
To stop printing, perform either Offline or Cancel job.
„ When the Data LED is on or flashing

† Precautions for High Temperature Parts


Since the fuser unit inside the printer becomes very hot, be sure not to touch it
when opening the cover to remove jammed paper or for any other purposes.

Drum Surface
† The surface of the Magnet Roll is covered with the conductive sleeve. The DB Drum Surface Potential

voltage is a negative DC voltage that AC voltage is superimposed on it. The
Developing
electrostatic latent image on the drum, the area hit by the laser, carries less

negative charges than the other area on the drum. As the uniform negative charge
on the Magnet Roll is kept at a certain level by the DC voltage, the potential Toner Image

difference between the Magnet Roll and the drum surface becomes as follows; the
electrostatic image area is higher than the Magnet Roll, and the other area is lower engine principle0013FA
engine principle0014FA
than the Magnet Roll. The superimposed AC voltage vibrates the carrier on the
Magnet Roll surface making it easier for toner to jump to the drum. Thus, the Figure 2-7. Development Process
negatively charged toner on the Magnet Roll is only attracted to the electrostatic
latent image and forms a toner image on the drum. Once the toner adheres to the
image area on the drum, no more toner is attracted to the area as negative charges
of the area are increasd.

transferred to paper by supplying voltage to the BTR (Bias Transfer Roll).
† The BTR is located inside the BTR ASSY. It is a conductive roll and constant
positive current is supplied to it from the HVPS. The toner image on the IDT2 is
transferred to a paper by applying the positive voltage to the backside of the paper
when it passes between the IDT2 and the BTR. The potential of the BTR is set
higher than that of the IDT2 at this time.

2.1.3.8 Cleaning (IDT2)


In the “Cleaning (IDT2)” process, the toner remaining on the IDT2 surface is
temporarily stored in the IDT2 Cleaner after the toner image is transferred to the paper.
† The IDT2 Cleaner is a conductive roll brush and a high positive voltage is supplied
to it from the HVPS. The IDT2 Cleaner is in contact with the IDT2 to wipe off and
temporarily store remnants of toner on the IDT2 after the third transfer is finished.
The stored toner is retrieved either at the end of the printing or at the cleaning
cycle. (Refer to “2.1.3.11 Cleaning (Entirely) (p90)”)

2.1.3.9 Discharging
In the “Discharging” process, the charge on the paper is neutralized/removed by

applying DC voltage to the backside of the paper with the Detack Saw.
† Detack Saw is kept charged at a constant voltage by the Valistor.
If the Detack Saw fails to remove the electrical charge on the paper properly, the
toner transferred on the paper will scatter due to the positive charges applied for
the third transfer and cause print quality troubles.

2.8.8 Fuser Control SENSOR WARMUP

FUSER TEMPERATURE CONTROL The Fuser NCS (non-contact sensor) located at the center of the Heat Roll cannot

target temperature.

The surface temperature of the Heat Roll is detected by the Fuser NCS (non-contact
temp sensor) located at the center of the Heat Roll and the STS (Soft Touch Sensor).
The NCS detects the temperature every 10 ms. The Heater Lamp is turned off if the
measured temperature is higher than the target, on the other hand, the Heater Lamp is
turned on if the measured temperature is lower than the target.
If the STS comes off from the Heat Roll, correct temperature detection becomes
impossible. It may cause the FUSER ASSY to melt or take fire during warm-up
process because the printer heats up the FUSER ASSY according to the false
temperature which is lower than the actual one. In order to prevent this, the Heater
Lamp is automatically turned off if the temperature of the FUSER ASSY does not
reach a predetermined level within specified period of time.

The target temperature varies depending on conditions such as during standby,


printing, or executing process control. The target temperature also changes according
to the temperature detected by the SENSOR HUM (temperature and humidity sensor),
temperature difference between the center and the edges of the Heat Roll, print mode,
and input power voltage.

COOL-DOWN

When the printing is continued for a certain period of time, temperature distribution on
the Heat Roll surface becomes uneven. Cool-down is performed to equalize the surface
temperature of the Heat Roll by not feeding papers for a while.If the temperature of the
Heat Roll edges is high, the printer stops feeding paper until the temperature falls to the
target level.

condition that the printer controller has no problems. However,
making a test print with only the engine side, allows you to find out „ FIP-P11 "Vertical Streaks"
roughly which side (controller side or engine side) is causing the „ FIP-P12 "Residual Images"
trouble, except for cases that cannot be checked by the test print.
„ Test print with the engine alone is normal → „ FIP-P13 "Areas of Images are Missing"

If the probable cause is “printer controller trouble,” replace the
controller with a normal one and check if the printer returns to
normal.
If the trouble recurs after replacing with the normal parts, check
on the host side, and use the printer quality FIPs to perform
efficient troubleshooting.

6.5 Consumables and Components That Need Periodic Replacement

C A U T IO N The print page-based service life values of the Consumables and Periodical Replacement Parts are guidelines. The life could become less than a half of the
given numbers (printable pages) because there are many factors that decrease it; such as intermittent printing (repeating to print one or several copies for
each print job), paper type (especially thick paper), paper size, paper orientation, print data (image or document), frequent power-on/off, and so on.

† LVPS Overcurrent Protection


24 VDC, 5 VDC, and 3.3 VDC, which are the power voltage, stop all the outputs
when short-circuiting ocurred. Each output is restored by eliminating the cause of
the short-circuit, and turning the printer OFF and then back ON at specified time
interval. However, 5 VDC excluding the one for the controller board and the
control panel cannot be restored because of the fuse meltdown.
† LVPS Overvoltage Protection
24 VDC, 5 VDC, and 3.3 VDC, which are the power voltage, stop all the outputs
when overvoltage ocurred. This overcurrent protection an be activated when 24
VDC, 5 VDC, and 3.3 VDC are less than 32 VDC, 7 VDC, and 4.4 VDC
respectively. Each output is restored by turning the printer OFF and then back ON
at specified time interval.
† FAN Output Circuit
Output voltage of the FAN REAR ON (H) signal varies according to the
conditions of the FAN LOW signal and the FAN STOP signal.
