Safety Devices
Use extra care when checking or servicing the safety devices (e.g., interlock switches,
fuses, thermostat). The printer's cover, control panel and any other parts which are
directly related to the user's safety should also be observed carefully.

As the major safety devices, the printer is equipped with the following four interlock
switches:
† SWITCH ASSY TOP
† SWITCH-INLK FRONT
† SWITCH-INLK FUSER
SWITCH-INLK FUSER SWITCH ASSY TOP
When any one of the above interlock switches turns off, +24VDC supply to the
motors and solenoid is cut off. The SWITCH ASSY TOP turns off when the
COVER ASSY TOP is opened. The SWITCH-INLK FRONT does when the
COVER FRONT ASSY U is opened, and the SWITCH-INLK FUSER does when
the COVER FUSER is opened.

2.2 Printer Section Operating Principle


This section describes printer functions and operating principles of AcuLaser CX11/
CX11F.

2.2.1 Print Process


2.2.1.1 Print Process Overview
This printer is a "full color laser printer" that uses the principle of electrophotographic
recording. The printer contains a drum that forms toner images by four colors of toner
"Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Black (simply called YMCK from here on)." The toner
image of each color is formed on the drum, and the toner images formed on the drum is
transferred to the Belt (secondary transfer roller). Full color printing is performed by
overlaying each of the colors on the belt.

The major steps of the print process are described below.


(1) Charging : The drum surface is charged.
(2) Exposure : Image areas are exposed on the drum by a laser beam.
(3) Developing : Image areas on the drum are developed with toner.
(4) Primary transfer : The toner image on the drum is transferred to the Belt.
Figure 2-4. Print Process Overview
(5) Cleaning : The drum is cleaned.
(6) Repeat : In the full color mode, steps (1) to (5) are repeated for
each toner.
(7) Secondary transfer : The toner image on the Belt is transferred to the
paper.
(8) Discharging : The electrical charge of the paper is removed.
(9) Cleaning : The Belt is cleaned.
(10) Fusing : Toner on the paper is fixed with heat and pressure.

2.2.1.3 Technical Explanation of Print Process

CHARGING

At the "Charging" process, BCR (Bias Charge Roll) applies a uniform negative
potential to the drum which rotates at a fixed speed.
† BCR keeps contact with the drum and moves together with it.
BCR is a conductive roller, that is negatively charged by HVPS, applies a negative
charge to the drum.
The drum surface is uniformly charged to a negative potential with DC bias
voltage.
† The drum is made of conductive material (aluminum cylinder) coated with a
photosensitive material which becomes insulating material in darkness and
becomes conductive when it is subjected to light.

Figure 2-6. Charging Process

OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Section Operating Principle 96


EPSON AcuLaser CX11/CX11F/CX21/CX21F Revision D

EXPOSURE

At the "Exposure" process, a laser beam is applied to the negatively charged surface of
the drum to form an invisible electrostatic latent image onto the drum.
† The laser beam is emitted from a laser diode in the ROS ASSY, and directed by
the polygon mirror, fixed mirror and lens of the Scanner Assy in the ROS ASSY.
A single laser beam is output from the laser diode.
† The laser beam is irradiated according to the print data (image data) from the
printer controller. The laser beam is output only when a pixel data (minute dot
composing the print data) exists. (On parts to be developed by toner, the laser
diode turns ON, and on parts not to be developed, the laser diode turns OFF.)
The drum surface irradiated by the laser beam becomes a conductor, the negative
charge on the drum flows to the positive side, and the potential on the surface of
the drum is reduced in the result. The section of the drum surface where the
potential has reduced becomes the electrostatic latent image.

DEVELOPING

At the "Developing" process, toner is electrically applied to the invisible electrostatic


latent image on the drum, to form a visible image on it.

† This printer uses two developing systems: a "rotary developing system" that
successively rotates four Developer Assys, and a "trickle developing system" that
uses developers composed of two components, a carrier and toner.
Developer in the Developer Assy is stirred by a spiral-shaped stirrer called
"Auger", and is supplied to the Magnet Roll located near the drum surface. The
developer is charged by the friction of stirring (toner: negative charge, carrier:
positive charge), and the charges are electrically attracted each other.
As the carrier is a magnetic body, it is attracted to the magnetized Magnet Roll,
and a uniform layer of carrier is formed on the Magnet Roll by passing through a
Trimmer Blade.
A minus voltage is applied to the Magnet Roll together with AC voltage from the
HVPS.
As the electrostatic latent image on the drum that is formed by exposure is charged
positively compared to the other sections on the drum, the toner charged
negatively on the Magnet Roll is attracted only to the image sections on the drum.

PRIMARY TRANSFER (DRUM→BELT)

At the “Primary transfer” process, the toner image formed on the drum surface is
transferred to the Belt surface in Photoconductor Unit by 1st BTR (First Bias Transfer
Roll).
† The 1st BTR is a conductive roller, and is positively charged by the HVPS. The 1st
BTR contacts the back side of the Belt and charge the back side to positive.
The negatively charged toner image on the drum surface is attracted to the positive
charge on the back side of the Belt, and is transferred to the Belt from the drum.

† Cleaning the drum
Toner that was not transferred to the Belt at the "Primary transfer" process remains
on the drum surface. Since the remaining toner hinder subsequent processes, it is
scraped off by a Cleaning Blade that contacts with the drum, and is collected in the

SECONDARY TRANSFER (BELT→PAPER)

At the "Secondary transfer" process, the complete toner image formed on the Belt
surface is transferred to paper by the 2nd BTR (Second Bias Transfer Roll).
† The 2nd BTR comes in contact with the Belt only when transferring the image to
paper to prevent the toner image formed on the Belt surface from being destroyed.
Normally, the 2nd BTR is located at its home position where is detected by the 2nd
BTR Retract Sensor. And the 2nd BTR Retract Motor moves the 2nd BTR to
contact with the paper.
† The 2nd BTR is a conductive roller. It contacts with the back side of the paper (the
opposite side of the side to be printed), and charged positively by the HVPS.
The Back Up Roll, located on the opposite side of the Belt from the 2nd BTR, is a
conductive roller and earthed to the Frame ground.
By positively charging the back side of the paper by the 2nd BTR, the negatively
charged toner image on the Belt is attracted to the paper and the image appears on
the paper.

after the toner image is transferred to the paper.
† The Belt Cleaner contacts the Belt only when cleaning the Belt to prevent the toner
image formed on the Belt surface from being destroyed. The IBT Retract Motor
moves the Belt Cleaner to contact the Belt.

ADJUSTING THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PAPER


ROLL-REGI METAL
If paper is fed up to the toner transfer section from the tray or cassette without
adjusting the alignment of the paper, the image sometimes cannot be transferred at the
correct position. In the registration section, the leading edge of the paper is aligned to
the correct position by the "Roll Loop" system.
The paper, which has passed through the ROLL ASSY-PRE REGI, is pressed against
the stopped ROLL-REGI METAL by the "Roll Loop" system to make the paper
curved. When the ROLL-REGI METAL is rotated with the paper curved, the paper can
be fed from the ROLL-REGI METAL without displacement.

2.2.5.1 Main Functions

ROS ASSY

† ROS ASSY
ROS ASSY (Raster Output Scanner Assembly) is the exposure unit that outputs Drum

the laser beam to make the electrostatic latent image on the drum surface. (From
here on, ROS ASSY is simply called "ROS.")
ROS consists of the components shown in Figure 2-45.
„ The PWBA LD (Laser Diode) converts the image data (electric signal), to
Mirror SOS
laser light ON/OFF signals.
PWBA LD constantly monitors the laser light intensity so that laser intensity PWBA LD
Window
stabilizes to the appropriate level when making the electrostatic latent image.
This is called "APC (Automatic Power Control".
Mirror
„ The Scanner Assy consists of a Scanner Motor that operates at a fixed speed
and a polygon mirror attached to the Motor's rotary shaft.
The laser beam emitted from the PWDA LD is irradiated on the polygon SOS Sensor
mirror. Lens COL
The polygon mirror has six reflecting mirror surfaces, and the angle of the PWBA SOS
Lens CYL
reflected laser beam changes by rotation of the Scanner Motor. This lets the
laser beam scan across on the Drum from side to side. The laser beam makes a Scanner Assy
Lens L1
single line on the Drum with one reflective mirror. Polygon Mirror Leg_Sec06_008FA

„ The laser beam reflected by the polygon mirror passes through the lens,
mirror and window to reach the drum surface. The lens functions to Figure 2-45. Main Functional Components of ROS
compensate for aberration, the mirror to ensure an optical path, and the
window to prevent the entry of foreign bodies into ROS.
„ The timing to start writing image data must synchronize exactly with the
beginning of laser scanning in order to properly form an electrostatic latent
image on the drum surface. When the SOS sensor on the PWBA SOS (Start
Of Scan) receives the laser beam, it converts the laser into an electric signal
(SOS signal) for detecting the initial position (start of scan reference point) for
scanning the various lines.

Execution Sequence of TC control


1. Adjustment of SENSOR ASSY ADC
The SENSOR ASSY ADC has two LEDs, one for black and the other for color. To
read each color's patch density, the light emitted from the LED for black is
reflected directly to the Common light receiving element, and the light emitted
from the other LED for color does diffuse reflection and also received by the
element. The SENSOR ASSY ADC has a built-in solenoid which drives the
shutter of the detection window and the part for switching the optical path to the
reference plate.
2. Adjustment according to surrounding environment and deterioration of parts
Printed image quality is adversely affected by temperature and humidity that
change daily, and deterioration of the IBT Belt, drum and other parts. For this
reason, parameters are corrected by capturing temperature/humidity data from
SENSOR HUM & TEMP and printer usage data from CRUM.
3. Creation of toner patches
The output value of HVPS, laser light intensity value, and toner supply amount are
determined from the parameters calculated from various information sources, and Figure 2-54. Sensor ADC mechanism
four toner patches, one for each color, are created on the Belt surface.
4. Reading the toner patches
SENSOR ASSY ADC reads the density of the toner patches created on the Belt
surface, and compares the read values with ideal values. When there is a difference
between the read values and the ideal values, the parameters are recalculated and
toner patches are created again.When the printer judges that the toner patches
density is extremely low or high, it performs the following controls.
„ Admix control
When the patch density that is read by SENSOR ASSY ADC is extremely
low, the toner will be supplied into the Developer. This is called "Admix
control".
„ Sweep control
When the patch density that is read by SENSOR ASSY ADC is extremely
high, toner is transferred to the drum, and is scraped off in the Drum Cleaner
to forcibly discharge toner in the Developer. This is called "Sweep control".

Figure 3-4. Printing-quality troubleshooting Entry Chart

The printing-quality troubleshooting described here is based on a condition that the


printer controller has no problems.
However, making a test print with only the engine side, allows you to find out roughly
which side (controller side or engine side) is causing the trouble, except for cases that
cannot be checked by the test print.
„ Test print with the engine alone is normal → Printer controller trouble
„ Test print on engine alone is abnormal → Printer engine trouble

If the probable cause is “printer controller trouble,” replace with a normal printer
controller and interface cable, and check.
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.

3.4.5.1 Engine Test Print


To check the IOT operation, it is possible to print PWBA MCU built-in sample

following procedure.

2. Set paper into MSI and turn the power on.

3.4.5.3 Uniformly Spaced Print Troubles (bands, smudges, etc.)


When horizontal stripes and spots appear at fixed intervals, it is highly possible that a
specific roll has caused the trouble. If this happens, you might be able to easily solve
the problem by measuring the interval between the stripes or spots on a test print, and
checking the relationship between the pitches shown in the table below (note that the
pitch does not necessarily match the perimeter of the roller).

6.5 Consumables and Components needing 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 number of printable pages varies
depending on how they are printed. The number of printable pages decreases depending on the intermittent printing (where a few pages, one to several
pages, are printed each time), paper size, paper orientation, thick paper printing, printed document, frequent power-on/off, etc. Hence, the number of
printable pages of the consumables and periodical replacement parts may become less than a half depending on the operating conditions and environment
of the user.
