Safety Information
To prevent possible accidents during maintenance work, strictly observe the WARNINGs and CAUTIONs described in this manual. Never attempt to perform dangerous operations or any other operations which depart from the descriptions and procedures in this manual. Other than the cautions and warnings stated below, there are many other situations and circumstances that could result in serious bodily injury. Always pay enough attention to secure safety when working with the printer.

Power Supply
Before starting any service procedure, turn the printer power off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.When the power supply cable must be connected, be aware of the potential for electrical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.
W A R N IN G

Mechanical Components
When servicing any driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn the power off and unplug the power cord, and then manually rotate the assembly.

Do not touch any live parts other than the required parts while the printer is on. As the LVPS ASSY (power supply section) is live even when the power is off, never touch the live parts. Do not touch any live parts unless instructed to do so.

W A R N IN G

Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is operating.

High Temperature Assembly


When working with hot parts (FUSER etc.) make sure to turn the power off, unplug the power cable, and leave the printer until it cools down sufficiently to work with to prevent burn injury.
W A R N IN G

As the inside of the printer is high-temperature state immediately after the operation, leave it more than 40 minutes before working.

Laser Beam
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. Since the laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more 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.

Cautions relating to Toner cleaning


To prevent ignition, explosion, burn, injury, etc., do not use a general vacuum cleaner for cleaning dropped toner. (To do so may cause the toner to catch fire by sparks in the vacuum cleaner.)
W A R N IN G

Storage of Paper
Damp papers could cause printing quality troubles. To keep papers in their best condition, store them wrapping tightly with packing material or putting them into a plastic bag.

Do not pick up dropped toner with a general vacuum cleaner. To do so may cause ignition.

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 changes 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.

Same as normal Transfer Mask Masks the Transfer Current applied for the leading edge of paper to prevent the paper from wrapping around the Photoconductor. 0: Do not mask 1: Mask Cleaning Wait Sets a time interval in seconds to run a cleaning cycle between pages when performing a continuous printing. The printer waits for the next page data for the set time period with its motors ON. If the next page data is not ready for printing within the time period, the printer runs a cleaning cycle. 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. Cleaning Cycle Sets the variable which determines the time interval of the cleaning cycles. (5: +50%, ..., 0: 0%, ..., -5=-50%) Cleaning Cycle = specified value x (10+) /10 Specified value of cleaning cycle mutates by total print pages of the photoconductor unit as well as temperature and humidity. Ex.) When the total printed pages of the photoconductor unit is below 5120 sheets, at normal temperature and humidity.

2.1.1 Print Process Overview
This printer is a full-color laser printer that uses the principle of electrophotographic recording. This printer uses a tandem-type engine that equips exclusive drums and developer units for each Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black (abbreviated to Y, M, C, and K), and prints images in full color by laying images of four colors on papers through the three intermediate drum transfers (IDT1 x 2, IDT2 x 1).

2.1.3 Technical Explanation of Print Process


2.1.3.1 Charging
At the Charging process, RTC (Rubber Tube Charger) applies a uniform negative potential to the drum which rotates at a fixed speed. This process is performed simultaneously for each of the yellow, magenta, cyan and black colors. The RTC is a conductive roller and keeps contact with the drum to move together with it. The HVPS supplies discharge voltages to the RTC, and then RTC discharges negative DC voltage. The drum surface is uniformly charged to a negative potential with DC bias voltage. The Drum surface is made of conductive material coated with a photosensitive material that becomes insulating in darkness and becomes conductive when it is subjected to light. The Refresher is a conductive brush and is negatively charged by negative DC voltages sent from the HVPS. It attracts positively charged toner on the drum, which is transferred back to the drum from the IDT. The Refresher also works to eliminate discharge products.

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.
ROS ASSY

2.1.3.2 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. This process is performed simultaneously for each of the yellow, magenta, cyan and black colors. The laser beams for each color emitted from laser diodes in the ROS ASSY are directed by the rotating polygon mirror, fixed mirrors and lenses, which are attached to the Scanner Motor Assy in the ROS ASSY to scan across each drum surface from side to side.

2.1.3.3 Development
At the Development process, toner is electrically applied to the invisible electrostatic latent image on the drum, to form a visible image on it. This process is performed simultaneously for each of the yellow, magenta, cyan and black colors. Toner in the Toner Cartridge is stirred by an Agitator, and is supplied to the DISPENSER ASSY. Then the toner is transferred to the tube that connects the DISPENSER ASSY and the DEVE ASSY by the Auger in the assy., and then reaches to the DEVE ASSY by the Auger in the tube. The Agitator and Augers are spiral-shaped stirrers driven by the toner motor at the rear of the Toner Cartridge. The amount of toner transferred to the DEVE ASSY is calculated based on the number of prints. This is called toner dispense and performed using two types of control (PCDC and ADC) in combination. Refer to 2.8.4 Process Control (p125) for details on the PCDC and ADC. Toner transferred to the DEVE ASSY and developer (carrier) in the DEVE ASSY is stirred by the Auger, and are supplied to the Magnet Roll located near the drum surface. The toner and the carrier are charged by the triboelectricity (toner: negative, carrier: positive), and they are attracted to 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 the Timmer Rod and the Paddle. NOTE: The magnet Roll is located inside the DEVE ASSY. The surface of the Magnet Roll is covered with the conductive sleeve. The DB (Developing Bias) is supplied to the conductive sleeve from the HVPS. The DB voltage is a negative DC voltage that AC voltage is superimposed on it. The 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 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 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 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.

2.1.3.4 Primary Transfer (Drum IDT1)


At the Primary transfer process, the toner image formed on the Drum is transferred to the IDT1 (Intermediate Drum Transfer 1). This printer equips two IDT1s. The one is for transferring yellow and magenta toner images, and the other is for transferring cyan and black toner images. IDT1 is a conductive roll and a high positive voltage is supplied to it from the HVPS. A negatively charged toner image on the drum is attracted and transferred to the IDT1 surface that is charged positively. The potential on the Drum surface is neutralized by the IDT1 at this time.

2.1.3.5 Secondary Transfer (IDT1 IDT2)


At the Secondary transfer process, the two-colored toner image formed on each of the two IDT1s is transferred to the IDT2 (Intermediate Drum Transfer 2). Complete toner image in full color is then formed on the IDT2. The IDT2 is a conductive roll and a high positive voltage is supplied to it from the HVPS. Though both the IDT1 and the IDT2 are positively charged, the voltage supplied to the IDT2 is higher than that for the IDT1 to attract/transfer the toner image on the IDT1 to the IDT2.

2.1.3.6 Cleaning (IDT1)


At the Cleaning (IDT1) process, the toner remaining on the IDT1 surface is temporarily stored in the IDT1 Cleaner after the toner image is transferred to the IDT2. IDT1 Cleaner is a conductive roll brush and a high positive voltage is supplied to it from the HVPS. The IDT1 Cleaner is in contact with the IDT1 to attract and temporarily store remnants of toner on the IDT1 after the secondary 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))

2.1.3.7 Third Transfer (IDT2 Paper)


In the Third transfer process, the complete toner image formed on the IDT2 is 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.

2.1.3.10 Fusing
In the Fusing process, toner is fixed on paper with heat and pressure. As the complete toner image clings to the paper only by the electrostatic force, one light touch of a finger can remove the image easily. To fix the image firmly onto the paper, the paper is transferred to the Fusing section immediately after the third transfer. The toner is melted by the Heat Roll heated by the Heater Lamp, and then the toner is fixed on the paper by being pressed between the Heat Roll and the Belt, which puts pressure against the Heat Roll.

2.1.3.11 Cleaning (Entirely)


In the Cleaning (Entirely) process, the toners stored in the RTC, Refresher, IDT1 Cleaner and the IDT2 Cleaner are removed after the complete toner image is transferred on the paper. Remnants of toner after performing the Secondary transfer and the Third transfer are temporarily stored in the IDT1 Cleaner and the IDT2 Cleaner. Toner whose polarity is reversed and returned to the Drum is stored in the Refresher. Toner slipped through the Refresher sometimes adheres to the RTC. These toner can be cleaned up when the printing is finished. Method for retrieving toner stored in the IDT1 Cleaner and the IDT2 Cleaner is different from the one for retrieving toner stored in the Refresher and the RTC. Continue to the next page.

1. IDT1 Cleaner and IDT2 Cleaner High voltages equivalent to the bias used for the second and third transfer process are applied to the IDT1, IDT2, and the BTR. By turning the charge of the IDT1 Cleaner and the IDT2 Cleaner to 0 V, remnants of toner (polarity: negative) stored in the IDT1 Cleaner and the IDT2 Cleaner are transferred electrically to the IDT1 and the IDT2. And the remnants of toner on the IDT1 and IDT2 are then collected directly on the BTR, which carries the highest positive charges among them, just as the complete toner image is attracted to paper.

GUIDE END The GUIDE END moves parallel to the paper feed direction, and determines the paper size. When the GUIDE END is moved, the ACTUATOR SIZE is activated by the ACTUATOR GUIDE END which moves together with the GUIDE END, and the SWITCH ASSY SIZE (See 2.5.2 Paper Feeder (p105)) is turned ON or OFF to detect the paper size. ROLL ASSY RETARD (Paper Cassette) Paper in the cassette is fed into the printer by being caught between the ROLL ASSY RETARD (Paper Cassette) and the ROLL ASSY FEED (PICK UP ASSY) (See 2.5.2 Paper Feeder (p105)).

(No paper state: Shielding the sensor) SENSOR LOW PAPER * The Actuator comes down in accordance with remaining amount of the papers in the paper tray. When the Actuator comes down to a level where the Actuator shields the sensor, the sensor detects that remaining amount of the papers is low. Note*: Installed before shipment (option) SOLENOID FEED Controls the operation of the ROLL ASSY FEED (rotating/halt) by controlling the rotation of the GEAR FEED H2. ROLL ASSY FEED When the SOLENOID FEED is activated, the SPRING FEED H moves the GEAR FEED H1 and the GEAR IDLER FEED into engagement to transmit the drive force of the DRIVE ASSY MAIN to rotate the GEAR FEED H1/H2. The GEAR FEED H1/H2 drive the GEAR FEED 2, and the GEAR FEED 2 makes the ROLL ASSY FEED rotate to feed a paper in the paper tray into the printer. A notch on the GEAR FEED H1 moves the GEAR FEED H1 and the GEAR IDLER FEED out of engagement when the GEAR FEED H1 makes one revolution. This cuts the drive force from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN and stops the ROLL ASSY FEED. Thus, the papers in the paper tray can be fed one by one. ROLL ASSY TURN This is rotated by the driving of the DRIVE ASSY MAIN by way of the GEAR IDLER TURN and the GEAR TURN. This rotation transports papers fed from the paper tray to the CHUTE ASSY REGI (Regi Roll) (See 2.5.5 Retard & Regi Assy (p110)). SENSOR HUM Detects temperature and humidity inside the printer. This sensor calibrates the charging voltage, supply voltage for various transfer rolls, and developing bias based on detected temperature and humidity.

MAIN FUNCTIONS CLUTCH TURN Transmits the driving from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN to the ROLL TURN MSI. ROLL TURN MSI This is rotated by the drive force of the DRIVE ASSY MAIN transmitted via the CLUTCH TURN (MSI). Transports the paper fed from the paper tray, manual tray, or the duplex path to the CHUTE ASSY REGI (Regi Roll). SENSOR REGI This sensor detects that the leading edge of the paper has reached the CHUTE ASSY REGI. CLUTCH REGI Transmits the driving from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN to the ROLL REGI RUBBER to transport papers from the paper tray, MSI, and duplex path toward the PHD ASSY. SENSOR OHP Irradiates light on the media and detects the media by perceiving the reflected light. As transparencies do not reflect light as much as papers do, the SENSOR OHP cannot perceive the reflected light when the media is transparency. Thus, the SENSOR OHP determines whether the media that is fed from the MSI is transparency or paper.

SOLENOID FEED MSI Controls the operation of the ROLL ASSY FEED (MSI) (rotating/halt) by controlling the rotation of the GEAR MSI. ROLL ASSY FEED (MSI) When the SOLENOID FEED MSI is activated, the SPRING FEED MSI moves the GEAR MSI and the GEAR IDLER IN into engagement, and the ROLL ASSY FEED (MSI) starts to rotate by the transmitted drive force of the DRIVE ASSY MAIN to feed a paper from the manual paper tray. A notch on the GEAR MSI moves the GEAR MSI and the GEAR IDLER IN out of engagement when the GEAR MSI makes one revolution. This cuts the drive force from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN and stops the ROLL ASSY FEED (MSI). Thus, the papers in the manual paper tray can be fed one by one. ROLL DUP This is rotated by the driving of the MOTOR ASSY DUP 17PM, and transports a one-side printed paper that comes back from the CHUTE ASSY REGI to the ROLL TURN MSI (See 2.5.5 Retard & Regi Assy (p110)). MOTOR ASSY DUP 17PM Transmits the driving to the ROLL EXIT and the ROLL DUP. ROLL EXIT This is rotated by the driving of the MOTOR ASSY DUP 17PM, and transfers the paper, which is already fixed, to the top cover. When performing duplex printing, it reverses the direction of rotation to transfer the fixed one-side printed paper toward the Regi.

An image data converted to electric signals (translates the data into differences in voltage) is sent to the laser diode in the ROS ASSY, and the laser diode converts the electric signals to the light signals (controls ON/OFF of the laser beam). The laser diode monitors and controls the light intensity of the laser beam to create stable electrostatic latent image without being affected by the fluctuations of the laser beam intensity, optical system (such as lenses) and drum sensitivity. The ROS of this printer has laser diodes for each yellow, magenta, cyan, and black, and the light intensity for each color is automatically adjusted.

2.8.4 Process Control


In order to perform stabilized printing, it is necessary to adjust the parameters related to forming images on a timely basis. The control of whole print process including adjustment of the parameters is referred to as process control. The main controls are as follows: Electric potential control Toner density control The additional controls to cover the above two controls are as follows: High Area Coverage Mode Admix Mode LED light intensity setting by the HOLDER ASSY CTD ELECTRIC POTENTIAL CONTROL To acquire stabilized print image density, the drum charging voltage and the developer DC charging voltage should be adjusted depending on the developing performance which can be changed by various factors. The adjusted drum charging voltage and the developer DC voltage are reflected in the print process control every time the adjustments are made. Electric potential control is performed just before the printing when any of the following is met. At the first print out after the power-on The number of the printed pages after the power-on is exceeded 25 pages When performing cleaning cycle during continuous printing

Revision A
Toner Dispense Example The time that the Toner Motor spend for one revolution is predetermined and fixed. The toner dispense time described in 1) and 2) is calculated as the number of revolutions of the Toner Motor. In the following explanations, the number of revolutions of the Toner Motor is called Dispense Count. The Dispense Count calculated in the ADC process is completed during printing eight pages. For example, if the Dispense Count is judged to be lacking and require 16 times addition, the required 16 times are divided by eight and the additional revolutions are made two times per one page printing. At that time, the Dispense Count calculated in the PCDC process are added. When the ADC Dispense Count is judged to require 16 times decrease, the 16 times are subtracted from the PCDC Dispense Count during subsequent print jobs (eight pages). If the decreasing times exceeds the PCDC Dispense Count, unfinished decreasing is performed during printing the next eight pages.

TONER DENSITY CONTROL To acquire stabilized print images, toner density should be kept constant. To keep the toner density constant, the amount of toner to be refilled should be exact the same as the amount used for printing. The mechanism to enable the exact refill is called PCDC. However, as the PCDC alone is not enough to adjust the toner density, another mechanism to support the PCDC is required. This mechanism is called toner density control by the HOLDER ASSY CTD. These two mechanisms are referred to as the toner density control.

1.

PCDC (Pixel Conut Dispense Control) Calculates the amount of toner to be used in the developing process by counting the video signals that are input to the ROS ASSY. The video signal is counted by counting the number of charging and discharging of the capacitor in the CR circuit which is arranged in parallel with the video signal lines. The amount of consumed toner is calculated as toner dispense time. Refilling toner as much as the consumed amount can be made by driving the corresponding Toner Motor(s) in the DISPENSER ASSY for the calculated period of time (toner dispense time). ADC (Auto Density Control) Creates four patches (yellow, magenta, cyan, and black) on the BTR under the given electrical conditions, and measures their density with the HOLDER ASSY CTD. The measured density is compared with the reference one, and the toner dispense time is increased/decreased in subsequent print process when the measured density is lower/higher than the reference density. The amount of toner to be refilled is calculated as toner dispense time. This is calculated for each of the four colors. The ADC is performed after a print job is finished when any of the following is met. The number of the printed pages after the power-on is exceeded 25 pages When performing cleaning cycle during continuous printing

Total Dispense Count When adding 16 is required by ADC PCDC Dispense Count When subtrasting 8 is required by ADC Total Dispense Count

Additional 16 times are divided up evenly between the next 8 pages

Revision A
The light intensity is determined (light intensity setting) and adjusted (light intensity adjustment) as described below. 1. Light Intensity Setting The amount of reflected light can change a lot after replacing the BTR ASSY or cleaning the HOLDER ASSY CTD. Therefore, the light intensity setting is performed when the printer is turned on, and when the front cover is opened/ closed. In the setting, the output value from the HOLDER ASSY CTD is monitored while gradually increasing the light intensity of the LED, and the light intensity is determined just after the output value exceeds the prescribed level. If the output value does not reach the prescribed level with the highest light intensity, the printer judges that the HOLDER ASSY CTD should be cleaned. When an extremely high output value is detected, the printer judges it as HOLDER ASSY CTD failure. Light Intensity Adjustment This adjustment is performed just before creating patches for controlling toner density in the ADC process. The LED emits light at currently set intensity to check if the output value from the HOLDER ASSY CTD is within the prescribed range. When the detected output value is below the prescribed level, the LED light intensity is increased at the next ADC process, and when that is higher, the light intensity is decreased at the next ADC process. If the output value is below the level 1 lower limit, the printer judges that the sensor becomes soiled and causes a warning. If the value is lower than the level 2 lower limit, the printer judges that the sensor should be cleaned and stops a print job.

HIGH AREA COVERAGE MODE The Toner Dispense control cannot keep up with heavy consumption of toner, such as printing pages with high print ratio continuously, and leads to lower the toner density. High Area Coverage Mode is provided to resolve the problem. In this mode, if the Dispense Count reaches to a certain level during performing continuous printing, feeding the next paper is temporarily stopped to perform the toner dispense.

ADMIX MODE Even with the High Area Coverage Mode, there are some cases that cannot prevent the toner density from lowering. For example, if the printer used in a hot and humid place is moved to a cold and dry place, it will make a big difference between the reference toner density and that measured with the HOLDER ASSY CTD because the reference density level has been set for corresponding with the environment condition. Admix Mode is used in such case to stabilize the toner density. If the measured toner density with the HOLDER ASSY CTD is substantially below the reference level, toner dispense is performed immediately after the measurement.

2.

LED LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL BY HOLDER ASSY CTD The HOLDER ASSY CTD is a reflective sensor. It emits light against the target (patches and non-toner area on the BTR) and detects the reflected light from the target with its light-sensitive element. According to the detected amount of light, it outputs electric signals. To take an accurate measurement, the sensor output value (amount of reflected light) obtained when emitting light against non-toner area on the BTR should be adjusted to the prescribed level, as the amount of reflected light depends on whether the BTR surface and HOLDER ASSY CTD surface are clean or not. To obtain the prescribed amount of reflected light regardless of the conditions, the light intensity emitted by the LED is controlled.

2.8.5 Color Registration Control


This printer uses a tandem-type engine that equips exclusive drums and developer units for each Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black. As a full-color print image is generated by overlaying four images formed on the drums for each color, there is a possibility that color shift may occur. To prevent this, color registration control calculates the amount of the registration shift and adjusts the writing timing of the ROS. Also, the lateral registration control adjusts the color shift of four colors in the lateral direction. Color registration control is performed when executing the process control based on the change of temperature inside the printer and the number of printed pages.

2.8.6 BTR ASSY Control


BTR ASSY ATTACHMENT DETECTION The printer detects whether the BTR ASSY is properly installed or not at power-on or when opening/closing the front cover. There is no dedicated sensor for detecting it, so the detection is made by detecting output from the HOLDER ASSY CTD. The printer judges that the BTR ASSY is installed when the HOLDER ASSY CTD output value is within the prescribed range. If the value is below the prescribed level, the BTR is turned one-half to let the HOLDER ASSY CTD to output again for the different area on the BTR, because the low output might have been caused by toner image on the BTR which is remained due to paper jam. If the output value obtained by the retry is the same or more than the prescribed level, the printer judges that the BTR ASSY is installed, if not, the printer determines that the assy is not installed.

BTR ASSY LIFE DETECTION The BTR ASSY consists of the BTR and the waste toner collection system. The life of the assy is detected by sensing full state of the Waste Toner Space. Full state of the waste toner space is detected by the SENSOR TNR FULL.

Timing to check if the waste toner space is full At power-on, or when opening/closing the front cover When ejecting papers Outputting BTR Life Warning (Worn Transfer Unit) Once the SENSOR TNR FULL detects the full state, the BTR Life Warning (Worn Transfer Unit) message is displayed. Outputting BTR Life Error (Replace Transfer Unit) After the BTR Life Warning (Worn Transfer Unit) occurs, the printer starts to count the number of printed pages and the toner dispense time, and when the cumulated value exceeds a certain level, it causes a BTR Life Error (Replace Transfer Unit). Releasing BTR Life Warning (Worn Transfer Unit)/BTR Life Error (Replace Transfer Unit) If the SENSOR TNR FULL does not detect the full state at power-on or when opening/closing the front cover, the BTR Life Error (Replace Transfer Unit) and the BTR Life Warning (Worn Transfer Unit) are canceled.

However, the one detection by the SENSOR NO TNR cannot change the no toner status condition inside the printer. The condition recovers to normal when the printer detects toner presence signal from the SENSOR NO TNR more than three times in a row after the toner dispensing. Outputting Toner Tape Remaining Error (Install uuuu TnrCart) Toner dispensing is performed for 1.7 seconds when a new Toner Cartridge is installed to detect the toner presence. When toner presence is not detected, the toner dispensing is performed again for 1.7 seconds after 5 seconds interval. If the printer fails to detect toner presence after performing toner dispensing three times, and if the toner dispensing time is 0, the printer judges that the tape is still attached to the toner cartridge. (Install uuuu TnrCart). The printer also causes the error when the toner sensor detects no toner status during printing with insufficient dispensing time.

2.8.7 Toner Control


The Toner Cartridge Switch in the COIL ASSY CRUM READER detects whether the Toner Cartridge is installed or not, and the presence of toner in the Toner Cartridge is detected by the SENSOR NO TNR. Toner Cartridges for each color have own switches and sensors, and they detect the status individually.

ABOUT SENSOR NO TNR Toner Cartridges for each color have their own SENSOR NO TNRs. The SENSOR NO TNR, which is located on the DISPENSER ASSY, detects the Toner Cartridge presence delivered from the Toner Cartridge into the DISPENSER ASSY by the Toner Motor. Since the SENSOR NO TNR malfunctions if the surface is contaminated by toner or something, it is cleaned up by the film attached near the Auger inside the DISPENSER ASSY when dispensing toner. This film rotates together with the Auger when dispensing toner, and scrapes off the remaining toner on the surface of the SENSTOR NO TNR. Because the film rotates and contacts with the SENSOR NO TNR as mentioned above, it may hinder the sensors operation causing a false detection depending on the position of the film when the Toner Motor stops. However, this false detection is avoided by the internal control of the engine controller. TONER PRESENCE CONTROL Overview of the control is described below. Execution Timing At power-on, or when opening/closing the front cover During printing Outputting No Toner Warning (uuuu Toner Low) The printer causes No Toner Warning (uuu Toner Low) when the counter of the Toner Cartridge reaches a certain level. Outputting No Toner Error (Replace Toner uuuu) When the SENSOR NO TNR detected No Toner with certainty, No Toner Error (Replace Toner uuuu) occurs.

2.8.8 Fuser Control


FUSER TEMPERATURE CONTROL The Fuser Temperature Control sets up the target temperature at all times, and turns On/Off the Heater Lamp so that the surface temperature of the Heat Roll becomes the 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.

SENSOR WARMUP The Fuser NCS (non-contact sensor) located at the center of the Heat Roll cannot detect temperature correctly if the temperature of the sensor itself is minus 5 degrees C or lower. If the printer detects the condition, it warms up the sensor until the sensor temperature becomes 0 degree C. This is called sensor warm-up.

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.

3.1.3 Precautions in Performing Troubleshooting Work


1. Be sure to unplug the power cord before starting troubleshooting work unless instructed to plug it in.
W A R N IN G

Never touch any live parts unnecessarily when the power is on. The power switch/inlet part of the LVPS is alive even when the power switch is turned OFF. Take care not to touch any live parts.

2.

If you perform work with the power turned ON, covers removed, and the interlock and safety switches turned ON, be sure to disconnect the ROS ASSY connector (P/ J151), except when its connection is required.
W A R N IN G

If you perform work with the power turned ON, covers removed, and the interlock and safety switches turned ON, there is a danger of the laser beam being emitted from ROS ASSY. Be sure to disconnect the ROS ASSY connector (P/J151), except when its connection is required.

3.

If you perform work with the power turned ON, the LEFT COVER removed, be sure to disconnect the HVPS connector (P/J141), except when its connection is required.
W A R N IN G

If you perform work with the power turned ON, the LEFT COVER removed, be sure to disconnect the HVPS connector (P/J141) as the HVPS may output high voltage. Be extremely careful not to touch the HVPS and the parts that output high voltage while connecting P/J141 connector on the HVPS following the instructions in FIP.

4. 5.

When touching any hot surfaces, take care not to burn yourself. Wear a wrist strap to discharge static electricity from your body.

7. Taking P/J1-2PIN P/J3-4PIN as an example, the minus side P/J3-4PIN is AG (Analog Ground), SG (Signal Ground), or RTN (Return). Therefore it is possible to connect to another AG, SG, or RTN pin as the minus side instead of P/J34PIN. Before doing so, check that each AG-to-AG, SG-to-SG, or RTN-to-RTN has continuity properly. Be careful not to connect to a wrong pin since the level of AG, SG and RTN are different from each other. When measuring the voltage, perform measurement with the Photoconductor unit, Fuser unit, Transfer unit and paper cassette loaded, FRONT-COVER ASSY closed, and power ON. All voltage values given in the FIP are approximate values. Actual measured values should not be completely the same as those given in the FIP.

3.1.4 Notes on Using FIP


1. The troubleshooting method described here assumes that there is no malfunction in the printer controller (PWB CONTROLLER). If you cannot fix a problem even by following the troubleshooting procedure, replace the printer controller with a normal one and then follow the same procedure. If you cannot recover the printer from the trouble even with the printer controller replaced, replace the Possible parts that caused the error shown in FIP and related parts with new ones one by one, and repeat operation checks. Have spares of the MCU PWB, Photoconductor unit, and any other part in advance as they may be required to identify the cause of the trouble in FIP troubleshooting. Be sure to unplug the power code before starting troubleshooting work unless instructed to plug it in. Never touch any live parts unnecessarily with the power cord connected. Conventions used to represent connectors are as follows: P/J12: Indicates P/J12 connectors are connected. P12: Indicates the disconnected plug side. (except when connecting directly on the board) J12: Indicates the disconnected jack side. (except when connecting directly on the board) When, for example, P/J1-2PIN P/J3-4PIN is indicated in FIP for the voltage check, set the plus side of a measuring tool to 2PIN on P/J1 and set the minus side of the tool to 4PIN on P/J3. When, for example, P/J1 P/J2 is indicated in FIP for the voltage check, check for all the relating terminals between P/J1 and P/J2 with reference to the Chapter7 Connectors (p.471).

10. Note that FIP does not provide any description on removal of parts which are supposed to be removed to remove the target part, and the procedures. 11. Any parts listed in Possible parts that caused the error in the FIP are regarded as the source of the trouble and signifies that the parts or the assemblies (HIGH ASSY) containing those parts should be replaced with normal ones one by one, and checking should be repeated. 12. In the FIP, the paper feeder is called Tray1, the optional feeder is called tray2 (upper one), tray3 (lower one). 13. FIP may contain descriptions that distinguish between certain specifications. Be sure to follow such instructions properly to remedy the problem.

To reliably judge and understand the trouble to perform the correct remedy efficiently when a print quality-related trouble occurs, make a test print, and use the FIPs described in the following pages. When the trouble still occurs even after performing the troubleshooting according to the FIP, check again using the FIP, and then replace the parts indicated as Possible parts one by one checking if the printer returns to normal. Make sure that all ASSYs are properly grounded. Always refer to Chapter 7 APPENDIX when checking connection state and electric continuity.

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 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.

3.4.5.1 Precautions for Print Quality Troubleshooting


Troubleshooting for print quality troubles should be carried out according to the corresponding FIP. In addition to that, make sure to check the environment condition, daily used paper type, the remaining amount of the consumables life and the replacement interval of the parts that require periodic replacement when the trouble occurs constantly or abnormal printouts are made. Environment Condition Should satisfy the conditions described in 3.1.2 Preliminary Check. Daily Used Paper Type Should meet the specification. (Standard paper is recommended.) Consumables and Periodic Replacement Parts 1. 2. The consumables should have sufficient life spans. The Periodic Replacement Parts must have been replaced every time their respective specified number of sheets has been printed.

3.4.5.2 Basics for Print Quality Recovery


Recovering the print quality basically requires cleaning of the internal parts. The HOLDER ASSY CTD, parts for paper transferring, Fuser unit, and Transfer unit should be cleaned. Considerable dust and dirt on the internal parts, especially when they are formed in a short time, are heavily caused by the environment conditions. The trouble may occur again unless the environment conditions are improved.

The table below shows the rollers that have possibilities of causing print quality troubles and the intervals of their traces which appear on printouts.

Host Computer Check Check if the trouble is caused by application failure. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Send the same print job to the printer from another computer. Send a print job to the printer using another application. Send a print job stored in another file to the printer. Uninstall and reinstall the printer driver. Uninstall and reinstall the application. Check the system environment.

For Safety Do not touch the surface of the parts listed below directly with your hands. 1. 2. 3. Transfer unit Drum (Photoconductor unit) Heat Roll (Fuser unit)

Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling the printer. If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual. Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid injury from sharp metal edges. To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when accessing internal components. Never replace the fuse on the Power Supply Board in any circumstances. Be aware that letting the laser beam get into your eyes directly could result in loss of vision. Never open any cover on which a Warning Label for Laser Beam is attached. Use extreme caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you with a clear understanding of hazardous nature of the laser beam. The Fuser unit and other high-temperature parts remain at hazardous temperature for a certain period of time even after stop of operation and turning off of the power. To prevent suffering a burn, be sure to wait after turning off the power until the temperature of the parts cools down to a safe level, and then start working on the printer. To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any consumables close to flame or throw them into fire. When developer or oil stuck to your skin or clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth carefully and wash it off with water immediately.

W A R N IN G

Be careful not to let the developer or toner get into your eyes or mouth, and not to inhale it. The same caution should be taken for people around you. (Spread a sheet of paper inside and around the printer to prevent soiling.) As there are many types of different screws, pay attention not to attach them at the wrong positions. If a screw for plastic is mistakenly used for a screw for metal plates, its threads will be broken. Be extremely careful of the difference between the screws for plastic and those for metal plates. Do not pick up the spilt toner with a vacuum cleaner for home use. To do so may cause the sucked toner particles to catch fire by sparks of the electric contacts. If the toner has spilt on the floor, etc., clean it with a broom or wipe it with a cloth moistened with neural detergent. If it is necessary to clean a lot of spilt toner with a cleaner, use a cleaner exclusively designed for toner.

W A R N IN G

Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling or adjusting the printer. Apply lubricants and adhesives as specified. Make the specified adjustments when you disassemble the printer. (Refer to Chapter 5 for details.)

Turn the printer OFF, and disconnect the power cord before starting work. If necessary, remove the CHUTE ASSY DUP IN, the CHUTE ASSY DUP OUT and the PHD ASSY before disassembling the printer. Before performing work around FUSER ASSY, allow the FUSER ASSY and its surrounding area to sufficiently cool down. Extra caution is required during work as exerting unnecessary force may damage parts or cause them to malfunction. Wear a wrist strap to discharge static electricity from the human body, whenever possible. Once the COVER ASSY TOP, PHD ASSY, TCRU ASSY, PAPER CASSETTE are removed, place them out of the way so as not to cause an obstruction for your work. (Depending on the parts you are working on, it is not lways necessary to remove those parts.)

When performing work on parts controlled as spare parts which the disassembling procedures are not given in this manual, fully observe how they are attached before starting work. For details about option parts, refer to the document supplied with the parts. In principle, options must already have been removed before starting work, however, if there is no need to remove them, it is allowed to service with them attached.

4.1.3 Screws
Many types of screws are used on this printer. Do not mistakenly attach them at the wrong positions. Pay special attention when handling screws for plastic and screws for metal plates. If you mix up these screws, screw holes will be damaged. Screw threads also will be damaged, which may cause further trouble.

5.2.2 Writing USB ID


Aculaser C4200 comes with the USB interface as a standard, and the computer connected to the Aculaser C4200 via the USB interface identifies the printer by referring to the USB ID information unique to each printer. Since this USB ID information is stored on EEPROM on the MAIN Board of the printer, you have to re-define the ID information by the procedure described below when you have replaced the MAIN Board for repair.
C A U T IO N

5.2.2.1 Installing the Program and the Basic Operation


1. Copy a set of files related to PPInitSetting program into a folder.
C A U T IO N

Be sure to store the setting information file (Setting.ini) in the same drive holder where the main program file is stored.

When you repair the printer and re-define the USB ID information, you have to tell the user to uninstall the previously installed printer driver as it refers to an old USB ID information.

2. 3. 4.

Double-click the program icon [

] to start the program.

Select AL- C4200 at the [Model Selection]. Select the port used to connect the printer at the [Port Selection].
C H E C K P O IN T

The program for USB ID input and a supported operating environment is as follows; Program PPInitSetting_Ver1x E.exe Operating environment Supported OS: Port used: Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP LPT, USB

If you select Auto, connected printers are detected and communication with the first detected one start automatically. When connecting with 2 or more printers, specify the target port to avoid unexpected connection since the auto detection varies depending on the connection state.

6.1 Overview
W A R N IN G

This section gives information necessary for maintaining the printer in its optimum condition. While at maintenance work, be sure to observe the following precautions.
W A R N IN G

To prevent an electric shock, burn, injury, etc., always turn the printer off and unplug the power cord before starting maintenance work. When the power supply cable must be connected to measure voltage or for any other task, use extreme caution in working on electronic components. While the printer is operating, never touch the driving parts such as the motor, sprockets and gears. Weight: Since this printer is heavy (about 32kg, consumables and options not included), transferring must be done by two or more personnel making sure to knees down so as not to throw out your back. Safety devices: Special care must be taken to maintain safety devices such as fuse, INTERLOCK S/W, which are provided to prevent the printer from malfunction and accidents, and also carefully check the parts such as panel, covers, which are directly operated by the user. Immediately after the printer has stopped operating, do not touch the Fuser unit as it is extremely hot. Pay attention to the following when turning the printer back on after servicing. Be careful not to get your hands and clothes caught up in the rotating parts (various rollers and cooling fans) of the printer. Never touch the electrical terminals and high-voltage components. (HVPS or LVPS unit, etc.) To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any consumables close to flame or throw them into fire.

Take extra care not to let the laser beam get into your eye, or it could cause loss of sight. While servicing the laser printer, never open any cover on which a Warning Label for Laser beam is attached. Use extreme caution to avoid injury of yourself and anyone around you with a clear understanding of hazardous nature of the laser beam. When you need to work on the hot part or unit (Fuser unit, for example), make sure to unplug the printer from power outlet in advance. Do not start the work until the part or unit cools down sufficiently to avoid burn injury. This printer produces a laser beam when the following conditions are all satisfied. The printer is turned on. The interlock switches are OFF. Do not use a general vacuum cleaner to clean spilt toner. To do so may cause the sucked toner particles to catch fire by sparks of the electric contacts. If the toner has spilt on the floor, etc., clean it with a broom or wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral detergent. If it is necessary to clean a lot of spilt toner with a cleaner, use a cleaner exclusively designed for toner. Do not disassemble the components (Fuser unit, Laser scanning unit, etc.) which do not have disassembly procedures described in this manual.

Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid injury from sharp metal edges. Do not disassemble the consumables. Do not expose the Photoconductor unit to direct sunlight. Do not touch the onboard components with bare hands to prevent the ICs and other electrical components from being damaged by static electricity. (When necessary, wear a wrist strap.) To ensure safety and workability, use the specified tools. Do not turn the printer off until all motors stop completely. Should the printer be transported, use the special packing material, pallet, etc. Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, or alcohol to clean the exterior or case parts of the printer. These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the components of the printer.

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.
