This adjustment is made since the regular current control cannot cover
part-to-parP variations in the AlDG Senwr (installation, circuit,
deterioration, etc.) .

[Controll]
The AlDG Sensor LED is turned ON to illuminate the erased sudace on the
PC Drum.

The 4-bit analog switch selects the load resistance.

The output current from the AIDG Sensor goes through the load resislance
selected in step (2) and the resultant voltage is applied to Master Board
PWB-A.

The lo& resistance is switched so that the a b v e voltage becomes 1 V or

less, at which time, the analog switch setaing is fixed.

[3]Grid Voltage (VG) Correction

The following five different types of controls are provided for VG correction.
The Machine checks the T/C Ratio before the Controls (1), (21, (3) and (4).
in case of the detected T/C Ratio is within the Level (*I) Controls (I), (2),
(3) and (4) will not run.

(1) The grid voltage is adjusted at the initial setup or when the PC Drum has
been replaced with a new one.

The grid voltage is varied so that the above voltage becomes 4.2 V or
more, thereby setling the pulse signal for VG.

(2) The correction is made to compensate for any drop in the surface
potential of a deteriorating PC Drum.

[Controil
Whenever the cumulative time over which the PC Drum has turned
exceeds the level equivalent to 400 copies, PWB-A outputs a pulse
signal for the voltage corrected last at the end of the last copy cycle for
the above event.

range behnreen 4.2 V and 4.4 V, thereby seBing the pulse signal for VG.
(3) The correction is made to compensate for any drop in the surface
potential of a cold PC Drum immediately after the copier is turned ON in
the morning.

The photoconductive drum used in this copier is the organic

photoconductor (OPC) type.
* The drum is made up of two distinct, semiconductive materials on an
aluminum alloy base. The outer of the two layers is called the Charge
Transport Layer (CTL), while the inner layer is called the Charge
Generating Layer (CGL).
* The PC Drum measures Q80 mm x 358 mm.

Handling Precautl~ws
.This photoconductor exhibits greatest light fatigue after being exposed to
light over an extended period of time. It must therefore be protected from
light by a clean, soft cloth whenever the PC Unit has been removed from
the copier.
Further, use utmost care when handling the PC Drum to prevent it from
being contaminated.

7-2. Drive and Grounding for the PC Drum

When the PC Unit is slid into the copier, "che Coupling Gear, driven by a
timing belt and gear from Main Drive Motor M I , is engaged with the flange
of the PC Drum. This connects the drive train for the PC Drum.
* The PC Drum is grounded to the frame of the copier through the Ground
Point inside the rear of the PC Drurn and the Drum Holding Shaft. When
the PC Unit is slid into the copier, the Drum Holding Shaft contacts the
Ground Point inside the PC Drum. This provides for assured grounding of
the PC Drum. Conductive grease has been applied to the Ground Point.

8-1. PC Drum Charge Corona

The PC Drum Charge Corona in this copier is equippd with a Scorotron

Grid which ensures that a DC nqative charge is evenly deposited across
the entire surface of the PG Drum.
The grid voltage applied to the Grid Mesh of the PC Drum Charge Corona
is varied to compensate for any drop in Vo which could omur with age or
under low temperatures in the morning. This ensures stabilimd image
quality. (For more details, see ""6 IMAGE STABILIZATION SYSTEM.")
The Constant-Voltage Circuit in High Voltage Unit HV1 maintains the grid
voltage in the range bebeen DC-550V and DC-850V aemrding to the Grid
Control pulse (PWM) output from Master Board PWB-A.

<How Scorotron Works>

When High Voltage Unit HV1 turns
ON, a corona emission from the
Corona Wire bqins.

A grid voltage according to the Grid

Control pulse is being applied to the
Grid Mesh.

113$M1$1m

Since there is a potential difference

bemeen the Grid Mesh and PC Drum,
the negative charges of the corona
emission flow through the Grid Mesh
to the surface of the PC Drum. This
results in the surface being negatively
charged.

When the potential of the Grid Mesh

becomes equal to that of the PC Drum
(i.e., when the potential of the PC
Drum becomes the grid voltage set by
the Grid Control pulse), the negative
corona current flows from the Grid
Mesh through HV1 to the ground.

1. Auxiliary Reflector

: The Auxiliary Reflector refleds light onto the areas that

Exposure Lamp LA1 cannot illuminate when an original

book) is being used. It functions to reduce shadows
which would otherwise be transferred to the copy.

2. Intensity Gorredion

: The intensity of the light emiated by LA1 remains flat.

The intensity is slightly attenuated at the very ends,
which is corrected by the intensity Gouec~onMirrors

: The b u r Apeflure Plates regulate the amount of Ul

light illuminaling the original surface.

4. Exposure Lamp

Thermal Fuse TF2

: Exposure Lamp Thermal Fuse TF2 becomes electrically

open (blows) if the temperature in the area surrounding
the Main Refledor exceeds 128O6, thus cuning off the
circuit to LA1.

5. Main Reflector

: The Main Reflector ensures that light from LA1 exposes

all areas of the original.

6. Exposure Lamp LA1

: This copier uses a halogen frost lamp for Exposure

Lamp LA1. Its light distribution characteristics keep the
intensity of the light remaining flat.

Master Board PWB-A

A pulse signal is sent from pin 17 (PSOTTAl) of IC1A to light up LA1 for the
center manual exposure selling (EXP5). A LOW Exposure Lamp ON signal
is output from pin 49 (APA1) of IC4A.

7
Power Supply Unit PU2
The pulse signal is input to pin 3 of PJ19 and PU2 sets the Lamp voltage
according to that signal.

LA1 turns ON.

During the copy cycle, a LOW Image Leading Edge signal (BASE) is output
and the automatic exposure control begins.

AE Sensor Board PWB-H

$01H detects the intensity of the light striking it and PWB-H converts the
light intensity to a corresponding voltage value, outpueing it via pin 7 of
1611-1. (The higher the intensity of the light striking PDlH, the lower the
output voltage.)

Master Board PWB-A

The analog voltage from PWB-H is input to pin 1 (ANO) of 161A.
PWB-A compares the input voltage with the reference voltage and
increases the Lamp voltage if the input voltage is higher than the reference,
and decreases it if the input is lower than the reference. This is
accomplished by varying the duty ratio of the pulse signal output from pin
17 (P50TTAO) of IC1A.
*

The reference voltage value varies depending on the "Auto E x p . Level"

setting of the User's Choice. It also depends on the optimum Exposure
Lamp voltage under that selling.

Motor M2 through the Scanner Drive Cabie, gears and timing belt.
0 Both the Scanner and 2ndl3rd Mirrors Carriage slide along the Scanner
Shaft in the rear of the copier. While at the front end, there is a Slide
Collar attached to each of the bodies and that Collar slides over the
Slide Rail. The speed of the Scanner varies with different zoom ratios
(150.0 mm/second in the full size mode).
Scanner Reference Position Sensor PC81 detects the home position of

<Overview>
0 A DC servomotor is used for Scanner Motor M2. The pulse width
modulation, or PWM, control is employed in which the average voltage is
controlled by varying the width of the Scanner drive pulse which is the
voltage input to the Motor.
0 A photosensor and a pulse disk are built into M2. Their function is to
convert the Motor shallt speed into the corresponding series of pulses.
This pulse signal is input to SCP Board PWB-J.
0 PWB-J then calculates the Motor speed using the period of the pulse
signal applied to it and controls the Scanner drive pulse which is to be
applied to the Motor. This effectively stabilizes the Motor speed.
The pulse signal applied to PWB-J is also used to determine the
distance over which the Scanner should travel. This distance is
represented by the number of pulses corresponding to each paper size
and zoom ratio.

force of the Torque Limiter is greater than the driving force of the F e d
Roll as it is transmined through the Wo sheets of paper.

2. Noma! Fedlng:
The fric~oncoefficient on the top side of the p a p r is equivalent to that on
the underside. Hence, the driving force of the F e d Roil is directiy
transmined to the Separator Roil through the paper, causing the
Separator Roll to be turned by the Feed Roll. In other words, the force of
the Torque Limiter is smaller than the driving force sf the Feed Woll as it is
transmitted through the paper.

image Transfer
The lmage Transfer Corona applies a D6 negative corona emission to the
underside of the p a p r thereby afirxting the positively charged toner onto
the sudace of the p a p r to form a visible, developeel image of the original.
The Corona Unit is provided with a Corona Wire cleaning mechanism: the
operator has only to pu11 out the lever on which the Cleaner is mounted
from the front of the copier, which cleans the Wire.
The mylar strips affixed to the housing of the Image Transfer Corona
minimize current that flows to the housing, thereby reducing the amount
sf ozone that is produced.

P a p r Separation
The Paper Separator Corona showers the underside of the paper with
both positive and negative charges so that the paper can be easily
separated from the PC Drum. in addition, f\PBo Paper Separator Fingers
physically peel the paper off the surface of the PC Drum. (For details, see
""P Drum Paper Separator Fingers."")
Note: The Image -$ransber/t>aperSeparator Coronas Unit is provided wibh
a Pre-lmage Transfer Guicbe Plate that determines the angle at
which the paper comes into c~ntactwith the PC Drum and keeps an
optimum distance beween the p a p r and the PC Drum so that the
image may be properly transferred onto the paper.
Note: The lrnage Transler/Paper Separator Coronas Unit and lmage
-Plansfer/Paper Separator Coronas Unit Rail are insulated fmm the
copier body. In amtion, a 3.5-megohm resistor is connected to the
unit rail. This improves the charge appIication efficiency from the
Coronas Unit to the PC Drum and economizes on the output current
from Hi@ Voltage Unit N V1.

voltages to pins 78 (TH1) and 77 (TH2) of lG1A on Master Board PWB-A
so that PWB-A can control the surface temperature of the Upper Fusing
Roller.
TH1 is usually used to provide 185C temperature control.

e When THI detects an abnormally high temperature, the output from pin
7 of 1C20A on PWB-A goes from LOW to HIGH. The Self Holding signal
goes LOW causing RYIC to turn OFF. This causes RYI to turn OFF,
which cuts off power to H I , turning it OFF.
