WARNING
• Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections to
one outlet: they may cause fire or electric shock. When using an extension cable, always check
that it is adequate for the rated current. ............................................................................................
• Connect the ground wire to a suitable grounding point. Not grounding the copier may cause fire or
electric shock. Connecting the earth wire to an object not approved for the purpose may cause
explosion or electric shock. Never connect the ground cable to any of the following: gas pipes,
lightning rods, ground cables for telephone lines and water pipes or faucets not approved by the
proper authorities. .............................................................................................................................
CAUTION:
• Do not place the copier on an infirm or angled surface: the copier may tip over, causing injury. .....
• Do not install the copier in a humid or dusty place. This may cause fire or electric shock. ..............
• Do not install the copier near a radiator, heater, other heat source or near flammable material.
This may cause fire. ..........................................................................................................................
• Allow sufficient space around the copier to allow the ventilation grills to keep the machine as cool
as possible. Insufficient ventilation may cause heat buildup and poor copying performance. ..........
• Always handle the machine by the correct locations when moving it. ..............................................
• Always use anti-toppling and locking devices on copiers so equipped. Failure to do this may
cause the copier to move unexpectedly or topple, leading to injury. .................................................
• Avoid inhaling toner or developer excessively. Protect the eyes. If toner or developer is
accidentally ingested, drink a lot of water to dilute it in the stomach and obtain medical attention
immediately. If it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and obtain
medical attention. ..............................................................................................................................
• Advice customers that they must always follow the safety warnings and precautions in the copier’s
instruction handbook. ........................................................................................................................
2. Precautions for Maintenance
WARNING
• Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before starting machine disassembly. ..............
• Always follow the procedures for maintenance described in the service manual and other related
brochures. .........................................................................................................................................
• Always use the thermostat or thermal fuse specified in the service manual or other related
brochure when replacing them. Using a piece of wire, for example, could lead to fire or other
serious accident. ...............................................................................................................................
• When the service manual or other serious brochure specifies a distance or gap for installation of a
part, always use the correct scale and measure carefully. ...............................................................
• Always check that the copier is correctly connected to an outlet with a ground connection. ............
• Check that the power cable covering is free of damage. Check that the power plug is dust-free. If
it is dirty, clean it to remove the risk of fire or electric shock. ............................................................
• Never attempt to disassemble the optical unit in machines using lasers. Leaking laser light may
damage eyesight. ..............................................................................................................................
• Handle the charger sections with care. They are charged to high potentials and may cause
electric shock if handled improperly. .................................................................................................
CAUTION
• Wear safe clothing. If wearing loose clothing or accessories such as ties, make sure they are
safely secured so they will not be caught in rotating sections. ..........................................................
• Use utmost caution when working on a powered machine. Keep away from chains and belts. .......
• Handle the fixing section with care to avoid burns as it can be extremely hot. .................................
• Check that the fixing unit thermistor, heat and press rollers are clean. Dirt on them can cause
abnormally high temperatures...........................................................................................................
• Do not remove the ozone filter, if any, from the copier except for routine replacement. ...................
• Do not pull on the AC power cord or connector wires on high-voltage components when removing
them; always hold the plug itself. ......................................................................................................
• Do not route the power cable where it may be stood on or trapped. If necessary, protect it with a
cable cover or other appropriate item. ..............................................................................................
• Treat the ends of the wire carefully when installing a new charger wire to avoid electric leaks. .......
• Run wire harnesses carefully so that wires will not be trapped or damaged. ...................................
• After maintenance, always check that all the parts, screws, connectors and wires that were
removed, have been refitted correctly. Special attention should be paid to any forgotten
connector, trapped wire and missing screws. ..................................................................................
• Check that all the caution labels that should be present on the machine according to the
instruction handbook are clean and not peeling. Replace with new ones if necessary. ...................
• Handle greases and solvents with care by following the instructions below: ....................................
· Use only a small amount of solvent at a time, being careful not to spill. Wipe spills off completely.
· Ventilate the room well while using grease or solvents.
· Allow applied solvents to evaporate completely before refitting the covers or turning the main
switch on.
· Always wash hands afterwards.
• Never dispose of toner or toner bottles in fire. Toner may cause sparks when exposed directly to
fire in a furnace, etc. ..........................................................................................................................
• Should smoke be seen coming from the copier, remove the power plug from the wall outlet
immediately. ......................................................................................................................................
3. Miscellaneous
WARNING
• Never attempt to heat the drum or expose it to any organic solvents such as alcohol, other than
the specified refiner; it may generate toxic gas. ................................................................................

As the drum C rotates in a “clean (neutral)” state, its photoconductive layer is given a uniform, positive (+) corona
charge dispersed by the main charger wire B.
Due to high-voltage scorotron charging, the charging wire can get contaminated by oxidization after a long run.
Therefore, it must be cleaned periodically from time to time. Cleaning the charging wire prevents print quality problems
such as black streaks.

(3) Exposure
The charged surface of the drum A is then scanned by the laser beam from the laser scanner unit B.
Laser beam
(LSU)
The laser beam (780 nm wavelength) beam is dispersed as the polygon motor (polygon mirrors) revolves to reflect the
laser beam over the drum. Various lenses and mirror are housed in the scanner unit, adjust the diameter of the laser
beam, and focalize it at the drum surface.

(4) Development
The latent image constituted on the drum is developed into a visible image. The developing roller A contains a 3-pole
(S-N-S) magnet core B and an aluminum cylinder rotating around the magnet core B. Toner attracts to the developing
roller A since it is powdery ink made of black resin bound to iron particles. Doctor blade C, magnetized by magnet D,
is positioned approximately 0.3 mm above the developing roller A to constitute a smooth layer of toner in accordance
with the roller revolution.

The developing roller A is applied with the AC-weighted, positive DC power source. Toner E on the developing roller A
is given a positive charge. The positively charged toner E is then attracted to the areas of the drum F which was
exposed to the laser light. (The gap between the drum F and the developing roller A is approximately 0.3 mm.) The
non-exposed areas of the drum F repel the positively charged toner as these areas maintain the positive charge.
The developing roller A is also AC-biased to ensure contrast in yielding by compensating the toner’s attraction and
repelling action during development.

2FM
(5) Transfer
The image developed by toner on the drum A is transferred onto the paper because of the electrical attraction between
the toner itself and the transfer roller B. The transfer roller is negatively biased so that the positively charged toner is
attracted onto the paper while it is pinched by the drum and the transfer roller.
B
Transfer bias
The nominal transfer bias is set to approximately -1.8 kV (limit) with the -6 mA current. Since the ideal potential of the
transfer bias depends on the thickness of paper, the bias is raised to approximately -2.5 kV/-6 mA for thicker paper. On
the other hand, the bias current is reduced to -1.8 kV/-6 mA for thin paper.
2-1-12
2FM
(6) Fusing
The toner on the paper is molten and pressed into the paper as it passes between the heat roller A and the press roller
B in the fuser unit.
The heat roller has a halogen lamp inside which continuously turns on and off by the thermistor to maintain the constant
temperature onto the heat roller surface.
The heat roller is resin coated by florin to prevent toner from accumulating on the roller after a long run. Care must be
taken while handling the heat roller not to scratch the roller surface as doing so may result in print problems.
The heat roller has four claws which are continuously in contact with its surface. These claws prevent the paper on which
toner has been fused from being wound around the heat roller causing paper jam.
The pressure roller is made of the heat-resistant silicon rubber. This roller is used to strongly press the paper towards the
heat roller by means of coil springs.
The temperature of the heat roller is constantly monitored by the engine board using the thermistor and triac. Should the
temperature of the heat roller exceed the predetermined value, the thermal cutout is activated to effectively disconnect
the heater (halogen) lamp from power.

(7) Cleaning
After the transferring process, the drum needs to be physically cleaned of toner which is residual after the development
process. The cleaning blade A is constantly pressed against the drum B and scrapes the residual toner off to the
sweep roller C. The waste toner is collected at the output end of the sweep roller C and sent back to the toner
container, into the waste toner reservoir D.
After the drum B is physically cleaned, it then must be cleaned to the electrically neutral state. This is necessary to
erase any residual positive charge, ready to accept the uniform charge for the next print process. The residual charge is
canceled by exposing the drum B to the light emitted from the eraser lamp E. This lowers the electrical conductivity of
the drum surface making the residual charge on the drum surface escape to the ground.
