GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE SERVICE FOR
e-STUDIO165/205
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service
technician.
1) Transportation/Installation
- When transporting/installing the equipment, remove the drawer, employ two persons and be sure
to hold the positions as shown in the figure.
The equipment is quite heavy and weighs approximately 32.5 kg (71.65 lb), therefore pay full
attention when handling it.
- Be sure not to hold the movable parts or units when transporting the equipment.
- Be sure to use a dedicated outlet with AC 110 V / 13.2 A, 115 V or 127 V / 12 A, 220-240 V or 240
V / 8 A for its power source.
- The equipment must be grounded for safety.
- Select a suitable place for installation. Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and
direct sunlight.
- Provide proper ventilation since the equipment emits a slight amount of ozone.
- To insure adequate working space for the copying operation, keep a minimum clearance of 80
cm (32) on the left, 80 cm (32) on the right and 10 cm (4) on the rear.
- The equipment shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be easily accessible.
- Be sure to fix and plug in the power cable securely after the installation so that no one trips over
it.
2) General Precautions at Service

- Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service (except for the service
should be done with the power turned ON).
- Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once
a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area.
- When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise
noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as
screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places.
- Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
- The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband
since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity.
Caution: Before using the wristband, unplug the power cable of the equipment and
make sure that there are no charged objects which are not insulated in the
vicinity.
- Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to
expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver
on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting
service.
- Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, fuser unit, damp
heater and areas around them.
- Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers, developer, high-voltage trans-
former and power supply unit. Especially, the board of these components should not be touched
since the electric charge may remain in the capacitors, etc. on them even after the power is
turned OFF.
- Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g.
rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts pulleys, fans and laser beam exit of the laser
optical unit).
- Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges
underneath.
- When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and
rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam.
- Use designated jigs and tools.
- Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents.
- Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.
3) Important Service Parts for Safety

- The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, IC-RAMs including lithium
batteries, etc. are particularly important for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly. If
these parts are short-circuited and their functions become ineffective, they may result in fatal
accidents such as burnout. Do not allow a short-circuit or do not use the parts not recommended
by Toshiba TEC Corporation.
4) Cautionary Labels
- During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as Unplug the
power cable during service, CAUTION. HOT, CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE, CAUTION.
LASER BEAM, etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the
equipment.
5) Disposal of the Equipment, Supplies, Packing Materials, Used Batteries and IC-RAMs
- Regarding the recovery and disposal of the equipment, supplies, packing materials, used batter-
ies and IC-RAMs including lithium batteries, follow the relevant local regulations or rules.
Caution:
Dispose of used batteries and IC-RAMs including lithium batteries according to this manual.
Attention:
Se dbarrasser de batteries et IC-RAMs uss y compris les batteries en lithium selon ce manuel.
Vorsicht:
Entsorgung der gebrauchten Batterien und IC-RAMs (inclusive der Lithium-Batterie) nach diesem Handbuch.

[ 2 ] Function of each board
MAIN board:
This is the board taking the leading part in all systems. It consists of the SoC, ASIC, memory
(SDRAM, Flash ROM), etc. In the SoC (System control), which is a core of this MAIN board, the
functions of the CPU, image processing, page memory control, CODEC, external interface (USB)
control, etc. are embedded and performed by one chip.
Based on the data input from the control panel, the SoC controls each system, such as the ASIC,
each memory, CIS unit and laser unit, and thus permitting the scanning of originals and the printing
of data.
SRAM board:
This is the board on which the SRAM for storing the user's setting information and counter value and
its backup function are mounted. When the MAIN board is replaced, attaching this board to the new
MAIN board can assume the data of the previous equipment.
HPNL board:
This is the board on which each button switch and LEDs on the control panel, and the LCD control
circuit are mounted.
CTRG board:
This is the board on which the IC chip for storing information about the toner cartridge (number of
prints, identification data, etc.) is mounted.
CTIF board:
This is the interface board with the CTRG board in the toner cartridge. Information written in the IC
chip on the CTRG board is read into the SoC on the MAIN board through this board.
2 - 16
LDR board:
This is the board on which the laser diode and the ASIC are mounted. The laser is emitted based on
the image data signal output from the SoC on the MAIN board.
SNS board: 2
This is the board on which the light sensor for detecting the radiating position of the laser is
mounted. It outputs the H-sync signal to the SoC on the MAIN board.
PS-ACC:
This is the unit to generate each DC (high/low) voltage, which is used in the equipment, from the
external AC electric power input. This is then provided to each electric part.
FUS board:
This is the board to provide AC electric power for driving the damp heater.
* Optional for NAD/MJD/CND model, standard for other models.

3.2 Details of Copying Process
1) Photoconductive drum
The photoconductive drum consists of two layers.The outer layer is a photoconductive layer made of
an organic photoconductive carrier (OPC), and the inner layer is an aluminum conductive base in a
cylindrical form. The photoconductor has the following property: when it is exposed to light, the elec-
trical resistance it possesses increases or decreases according to the strength of the light.
Example:
- Strong light
Resistance is decreased (works as a conductor.)
- Weak light
Resistance is increased (works as an insulator.)

[Formation of electrostatic latent image]

In the processes of charging, data reading, data writing, discharging described later, negative poten-
tial of the areas on the drum corresponding to black areas of the original are eliminated, while the
areas on the drum corresponding to white areas retains the negative charge.
As this image on the drum formed by the negative potential is not visible, it is called an electrostatic
latent image.

2) Charging
Charging is the process to apply charge evenly on the drum surface.
The needle electrode produces negative corona discharge is controlled by the grid, allowing the
drum surface to be evenly charged with the negative potential.
The surface potential on the drum is determined by the grid potential and is controlled to a certain
value by the grid control circuit.

3) Data reading (scanning)

Data reading is the process of illuminating the original with light and converting the reflected light
into electrical signals.
This equipment uses the CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for data reading.
The optical image information read by the CIS is converted into electrical signals (image signals),
which are then transmitted to the image processing section.

4) Data writing
Data writing is the process of converting the image signals sent from the image processing section
into optical signal and exposing the drum surface with the light.
Semiconductive laser element converts image signals transmitted from the image processing sec-
tion into optical signal (laser emission) to expose the drum surface and form an electrostatic latent
image on it.

5) Development
Development is the process of making the electrostatic latent images visible to the eye (visible
images).
Developer material is supplied to the photoconductive drum surface by the magnetic roller.
The toner in the developer material adheres to the areas on the drum surface where the potential is
lower than the developer bias which is applied to the magnetic roller (reverse development method).

- Developer material
The developer material consists of a mixture of the toner and carrier. The toner is charged to the
negative polarity and the carrier to positive polarity due to the friction with each other caused by
mixing.
Toner: Mainly consists of the resin and carbon. Carbon

Carrier: Consists of the ferrite and resin coating on (5-10%)
its surface to provide consistent frictional
electrification.

Note:
If the developer material is used for a long time (beyond its normal Toner
Carrier
life span), the toner is caked onto the carrier.
The charging performance of the carrier is lowered.

Symptom: 1. Image density is lowered.
2. Toner scattering occurs.
3. Background fogging occurs.
Solution: Replace the developer material.
No frictional electrification
occurs on the area where the
toner is caked.

- Magnetic roller
Magnetic brush development
The south and north poles are arranged inside the magnetic roller as shown in the right figure.
The developer material forms a brush-like fluff which contacts the photoconductive drum surface.
This is caused by the magnetic force lines between the south and north poles.

- Additional Explanation
The life of the toner cartridge (number of output pages) varies depending on the following condi-
tions.
Coverage of originals (printing image ratio of the original size) and density of original background
Size and density of originals
The existence of solid black when making prints (when a book is copied and the original cover is
partially opened)
Temperature and humidity in the room when making prints.
Prints density and image quality mode

As indicated in the figure below, the life of the toner cartridge varies depending on the copy mode
and coverage of originals.

6) Transfer
Transfer is the process of transferring the toner image (visible image) formed on the drum surface
onto paper.
Method: A paper passing the side of the drum is
charged to the opposite polarity to the that of
toner by the corona discharge of the transfer
charger. 3
The toner moves from the drum surface onto
the paper. Paper
Drum
Transfer
charger
Fig. 3-15
- For smooth transfer

In the transfer bias processing of this equipment, bias voltage (+565 VDC) is applied to the regis-
tration roller and transfer unit transport guide to prevent the charge produced by the transfer
charger from flowing into the transfer unit transport guide through the paper.
Output is controlled as follows to realizes the desirable transfability.
Paper position against transfer point Transfer output
From leading edge to 11 mm from leading edge (H) 340 ADC
From 11 mm from leading edge to 5 mm from trailing edge (C) 369 ADC
From 5 mm from trailing edge to trailing edge (L) 282 ADC

7) Separation
Separation is the process of separating paper which is temporarily adhering to the drum due to the
static electricity during the transfer process.
Method: Apply negative DC bias to the separation
charger.
The positive charge on the paper is decreased.

Drum
The electrostatic adherence force between the rotation
paper and drum becomes weak.
The paper is separated from the drum by its Separation charger

own stiffness.

- Output is controlled as follows to realizes the desirable separability.

Paper position against transfer point Separation output
From leading edge to 11mm from leading edge (H) -107 ADC
From 11mm from leading edge to 46mm from leading edge (L) -70 ADC
From 46mm from leading edge to 48mm from trailing edge (C) -107 ADC
From 48mm from trailing edge to trailing edge (L) -70 ADC
Paper may not be separated from the drum surface because of moisture or malfunction of the
transfer/separation charger during printing. As the result, the paper enters into the cleaner and
causes jamming. To prevent this, a separation finger is used to forcibly separate the paper which
was left around the drum.

8) Fusing
Fusing is the process of melting the toner on the paper and fixing it firmly on the paper.
Method: The melting point of the toner (main ingredi-
ent: resin) is 90-100C.
(Heat) Toner is melted by the heat of the surface of Pressure

the fuser roller. 3
+
Fuser roller
(Pressure) The pressure roller is pressed against the
fuser roller by the springs to increase the
adherence of the melted toner onto the
paper.

Heat and pressure are applied to the paper
when it passes between the fuser roller and Fig. 3-19

9) Cleaning
Cleaning is the process of removing the residual toner from the photoconductive drum.
The edge of the urethane rubber cleaning blade is pressed against the photoconductive drum sur-
face to scrape off the residual toner on it. The toner is then caught by the recovery blade.

10)Discharging
Discharging is the process of eliminating the negative charge remaining on the photoconductive
drum before the next charging process.
If the residual charge is not eliminated, the following phenomenon occurs:
Negative charge remaining on the photoconduc-

tive drum surface causes ungiven application of Discharge LED
the charge for the next printing.
Photoconductive
drum
The next print will have a double image. (The
preceding image appears.)
Solution:
The entire surface of the photoconductive drum
is illuminated with light by the discharge LED
array. Ground
Fig. 3-22
The photoconductive drum becomes electri-
cally conductive.
All of the negative charge remaining on the pho-

toconductive drum is conducted to the ground.
Preparation for the next printing is completed.

5.4 Operation
5.4.1 Block diagram

The control panel which mainly consists of the panel controlling ASIC and LED driver transmits/
receives the control signal to/from the SoC on the MAIN board, controls the LCD, detects the key
pressed, and controls the ON/OFF of the LED and buzzer.
The LCD is controlled by the signal output from the panel controlling ASIC based on the information
output from the SoC via the control panel data bus (OD0 to 7).
The input status of each button is output to the SoC via the data bus (OD0 to 7) by the panel controlling
ASIC and detected.
Each LED is controlled to be lit by the LED driver based on the information of the serial data (OPLDSO)
output from the SoC. 5
The buzzer is controlled by the buzzer ON signal (BZON) output from the ASIC on the MAIN board.

6. SCANNER

In the scanning section, this equipment uses a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for scanning the image.
The surface of an original is irradiated with light from the LED array mounted on the CIS unit and the
reflected light is scanned by the CCD where the optical image data are converted into an analog electri-
cal signal, and then transmitted to the MAIN board. After the binarization and the various image pro-
cessing operations necessary for image formation are performed on the MAIN board, the data are
transmitted to the writing section.

6.3 Functions
1) Original glass
This is a glass for placing original. Original (image) placed on the original glass is scanned by the
CIS. The ADF original glass is used when original is read with the Automatic Document Feeder.
Original is transported on the ADF original glass by the Automatic Document Feeder, and the trans-
ported original is read under the ADF original glass by the CIS. Do not use such solvents as alcohol
when cleaning the surface of the ADF original glass, because it is coated so as not to be scratched
by originals.
2) CIS unit (CIS)

The CIS unit (CIS) is a sensor unit which consists of an LED array, lens array and CCD sensor array
of the same length as that of the original width in the primary scanning direction closely attached
and unified. The original is irradiated at one time with the LED light source which consists of LEDs of
RGB colors (one for each color), light guiding tube to lead each light to the original and a YG-LED
array, and then the reflected light is scanned by the CCD sensor. 6
In the CCD method (reduction optical method), the reflected light of the exposure lamp is LED
through mirrors, lens and slit to the CCD where the optical-to-electrical conversion for scanned data
is performed. In contrast, in the CIS method (close-contact sensor method), those operations are
processed only by the CIS unit. The CIS has characteristics of shallow depth of focus and high light-
sensitivity.

- CCD
Scans the light reflected from an original and converts it to an electrical signal.
In order to realize the same-to-scale optical system of A3 width and 7084 image pixels, the
equipment uses 11 CCDs (each CCD has 644 image pixels per line) to make up a CIS sensor of
600x600 dpi resolution for scanning.
- YG-LED array
Works as an assistant light for the RGB light guiding tube. This YG-LED array is used to reduce
the shadow of the original when scanning is performed.This LED array produces the output
power of 7.68W.
6-3
06/06
- RGB light guiding tube
A light from the LED array mounted on the CIS unit (CIS) goes through the original glass and
lights the original. Then, the reflected light from the original is scanned by the CCD. By adjusting
each amount of R, B and YG-LED light with reference to the amount of G-LED light, it is possible
to attain a light color which has nearly the same color effect as that of the YG xenon light for the
light sensitivity of the CCD sensor. This LED array produces the output power of 0.125W X 3.
- Gradient index lens (Rod-lens array)

This is a lens of which the index of refraction within it is varied.
This lens enables us to produce a unified image without combining mirrors or lenses.
3) Scan motor (M1)

This is a two-phase stepping motor which drives the CIS unit (CIS). The rotation of the motor is
transmitted to the CIS unit through the timing belt to move the unit in the secondary scanning direc-
tion.
4) CIS home position sensor (S1)

This sensor detects if the CIS unit is at its home position.
5) Automatic original detection sensor (S9-S13)

The size of an original placed on the glass is instantly detected using the APS sensors fixed on the
base frame.

6.4.1 Scanning operation

Scanning an original on the original glass
The rotation of the scan motor (M1) is transmitted to the CIS unit through the timing belt to move the
unit to the home position. The home position is detected when the actuator installed on the CIS case
passes the CIS home position sensor (S1).
When the [START] button is pressed, the CIS unit starts scanning the original.

6.5 Contact Image Sensor Unit Control Circuit
6.5.1 Exposure LED control circuit

The cell guide mounted on the contact image sensor (CIS) unit is the main light source of the red/green/
blue LEDs and is used to expose originals. Also mounted is the LED array which is the subsidiary light
source of the yellow-green LEDs.
Turning each light source ON/OFF is controlled by the control signal (SCNLEDR/G/B/ASTOFF-1) out-
put from the ASIC on the MAIN board. According to the amount of each light source, white standard
generation is performed (reading the reflected light amount of the white shading correction plate). Black
standard generation is also performed (reading the light amount when the light source is turned off),
and according to the result, adjustment by the light amount adjustment signal (SCNLEDVR1/2/3-1) out-
put through the D/A converter from the SoC is made. However, the light amount of the green light
source is not changed because it is the standard value of the adjustment. The other light amount is
changed based on the green light source; in this way the total light amount is adjusted.

6.5.2 CCD control circuit
On the contact image sensor (CIS) unit, CCD (Charge Coupled Device) with 7,084 effective pixels are
mounted as the optoelectronic element for converting the light reflected on the original into electrical
signals (analog signals). CCD is driven by the clock signals (TRCLCK, MCLCK, RSCLCK) output from
the SoC on the MAIN board, and then it divides the photoelectric-converted analog signals into four out-
put signals (CDIN0 to 3) and outputs to the AFE. The AFE converts the analog signals into 8-bit digital
signals (SCNIMGA [0] to [7]) and outputs to the SoC.

Optoelectronic conversion
As in the same manner as the minification optical systems in other equipments, the CCD of the contact
image sensor (CIS) unit in this equipment performs photoelectronic conversion and charge transfer by
the combination of its shift registers and photodiodes (light-receiving sensors) to output signals for a pri-
mary scanning direction.
Pixels of 24.0 m (primary scanning direction) x 40.0 m (secondary scanning direction), which can be
scanned by 1 light-receiving sensor, are arranged at 42.3 m intervals in this 1:1 magnification optical
system CIS. In the CCD, 1 chip consists of 644 pixels and 1 channel consists of 3 chips (only the chan-
nel 4 consists of 2 chips), and 1 line of a primary scanning direction consists of 4 channels, as shown in
the figure below.
Each light-receiving sensor photoelectronically converts the received light into charge and transfers the
charge to each shift register. These shift registers then transfer the charge to the direction of the arrows
in the figure at the timing of transfer clocking. This transfer clock pulse is equally input into every chip,
and thus all the shift registers are driven at the same timing. The charge transferred into each chip is
then combined into each channel, and then output in a time division system. Furthermore the 4 chan-
nels simultaneously perform this process to output the scanning signals of these 4 systems in parallel.

Shading correction
A variation is caused by the following factors in the CCD output.
1) The light source has a variation in its light distribution.
2) Each of the 7,084 elements varies in optoelectronic conversion efficiency.
These differences need to be corrected and this correction is referred to as a shading correction. The
shading correction is performed by applying a normalization process using the following formula on the
black data and the white data obtained in advance to correct the lighting variance and element variation
of the image data.

6.6 Automatic Original Size Detection Circuit
This circuit detects the size of original (standard sizes only) using the reflection type photosensors
arranged on the base frame of the scanner unit.
6.6.1 Principle of original size detection

Reflection type photosensors are placed on the base frame of the scanner unit as shown in the figure
below. Each sensor consists of an infrared Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the light emitting side, and a
phototransistor on the light receiving side.
When there is an original on the original glass, light beams from the LEDs are reflected by the original
and led to the phototransistors. This means that the presence of the original is detected by the pres-
ence of reflection (when scanning black image).

6.6.2 Process of detection of original size
1) When the equipment is in the original size detection mode, contact image sensor unit (CIS) is set at
its home position.
2) When the platen cover is opened, the sensors receive the light reflected from the original and if one
of the matrix conditions shown in 4) for original sizes are met, the size of the original is instantly
detected.
3) The output signal from each sensor is input to ASIC on the MAIN board to determine the size of the
original.

7.3.2 Functions of image processing circuit
1) High quality image processing
- Background processing function (Range correction)
This function processes to remove undesirable fog from the background so that the original can
be reproduced appropriately. By using this function, it is possible to cut the background density
down when copying originals which have a certain level of background density, such as newspa-
pers.

- Filtering
This function is enabled by low-pass filter processing and high-pass filter processing.
Low-pass filter processing

This processing removes image/electrical noise and decreases moire by performing averaging
operation between the image signals of the targeted pixel and those of the neighboring pixels to
enhance the reproducibility of original.
<Example>
Density of the targeted pixel position is X. Density of pixel positions at front and back of the tar-
geted pixel are a and b respectively. X is converted to X through the low pass filtering.
When the matrix is (3 x 1):
a x b x' = a+b+x
3
The above averaging operation is performed for all the pixels to accomplish the high reproducibil-
ity of original.

cause this phenomenon. In this equipment, processing such as edge enhancement is applied
between the targeted pixel and the neighboring pixels to eliminate this phenomenon and realize
high reproducibility of original. 7

This function performs editing such as enlargement/reduction, etc., by using a line memory. Pixel
data for one line in the primary scanning direction is stored in the line memory and the memory is
renewed at each line.

8. LASER OPTICAL UNIT

The laser optical unit radiates the laser beam onto the photoconductive drum responding to the digital
image signals transmitted from the MAIN board. to create the latent image. Image signal is converted
into the light emission signal of the laser diode on the laser driving PC board (LDR), then radiated on
the drum through the optical elements such as cylinder lenses, polygonal mirror and f lens.
The unit must not be disassembled in the field as they are very sensitive to dust and finely adjusted at
the factory.

1) Laser emission Unit

This unit consists of the laser diode, finite focus lens, aperture and cylinder lens.
- Laser diode
This laser diode features low droop, small laser variation and low threshold current.
Aperture determines the shape of the laser beam at laser emission position of the primary scan-
ning and secondary scanning.
Laser diode radiates the laser beams responding to the laser emission control (ON/OFF) signals
from the laser driving PC board (LDR). Laser beams which passed through the finite focus lens
are focused on the drum surface.
- Laser precautions
A laser diode is used for this equipment and radiates an invisible laser beam.
Since it is not visible, be extremely careful when handling the laser optical unit components, per-
forming operations or adjusting the laser beam. Also never perform the procedure with other than
the specified manuals because you could be exposed to the laser radiation.
The laser unit is completely sealed with a protective cover. As long as only the operations of
specified manuals are performed, the laser beam is not leaked and you are in no danger of being
exposed to laser radiation.
The following cautionary label for the laser is attached to the front right cover (inside of the front
cover).

Cautions:
- Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to
expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver
on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting
service.
- When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and
rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam.
- During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as "Unplug the
power cable during service", "CAUTION. HOT", "CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE", "CAUTION.
LASER BEAM", etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the
equipment.
2) Polygonal motor unit

This unit consists of the polygonal motor (M4) and polygonal mirror.
a. Polygonal motor (M4)

This motor rotates the polygonal mirror in high (A)
Drum
speed.
The DC motor controls the rotation speed of
the mirror motor as follows:
During ready: 0 rpm (No rotation)
During printing
8
: 21,521.147 rpm (600dpi)
b. Polygonal mirror
One laser beam emitted from the laser diode Laser beam
is reflected by this mirror. As the polygonal
mirror is rotated by the polygonal motor (M4), (B)
the reflected laser light moves in sync with the
rotation. The direction of the movement is the
primary scanning direction of the image. One
scan is performed on one plane of the polygo- Drum
nal mirror.
As the polygonal mirror has six planes, six
scans are performed in one rotation of the
polygonal mirror. Laser beam
(C)
Drum

Fig. 8-4
One scan is completed by completion of steps (A)

to (C). One scan is performed on one plane of the
polygonalmirror. Six scans can be made with one
rotation of the polygonal mirror.
8-3
3) f lenses 1 and 2
These two lenses perform the following adjustment on the laser beams reflected by the polygonal
mirror.
a. Uniform-velocity scanning
Since the polygonal mirror is rotating at a uni-
form velocity, the laser beam reflected from Wider
the mirror scans over the drum surface at a
uniform angular velocity; namely, the pitch
between the dots on the drum is wider at both Narrower
ends than at the center of the scanning range.
The f lenses help to correct this difference,
making all the dot-to-dot pitches equal on the Drum
drum surface.
f Lens-1
f Lens-2
Same intervals
Fig. 8-5
b. Face tilt correction

The reflecting face of the polygonal mirror is Mirror plane is tilted. Deviation
tilted slightly to one side against the perfect
vertical. Horizontal deviation of the laser light
which is caused by the tilt is corrected.
c. Sectional shape of laser beam
The shape of the laser beam spotted on the
drum is adjusted.
Fig. 8-6
4) H-Sync signal detection PC board (SNS)

The laser light which is started to be scanned from one of the reflected plane of the polygonal mirror
is reflected by the H-Sync returning mirror and enters the PIN diode on the H-Sync signal detection
PC board (SNS). The primary scanning synchronizing signal is generated based on this reflection.
5) Slit glass
Slit glass is located where the laser beams are output from the laser optical unit, and it protects the
unit from dust.

8.3 Laser Diode Control Circuit
This equipment uses an AlGaAs type semiconductive laser with 5 mW of optical output power rating.
This laser emits a beam in a single transverse mode in approx. 785 nm wavelength. PIN diode for mon-
itoring optical output in this laser controls the laser intensity.
The relation between the forward current and optical output of a semiconductive laser is as shown
below. Beam emission starts when the forward current exceeds a threshold current, and then the laser
outputs a monitor current which is proportionate to the optical output. Since semiconductive lasers have
an individual variability in their threshold current and monitor current, the optical output needs an
adjustment to be maintained at a certain value.
The optical output of a semiconductive laser decreases as the laser temperature rises. Therefore APC
(Auto Power Control) needs to be performed to maintain a constant optical output.
Regulation High temp.

A block diagram of the semiconductive laser control circuit is shown below. The semiconductive laser
performs a monitor efficiency regulation (a process to control a monitor current for beam emission
amount). The initial beam emission is adjusted to be approx. 1.6 mW (240 W on the drum surface).
The voltage of the monitor output, which has been regulated by this adjustment, is then fed back to a
laser power comparison circuit.
In the laser power comparison circuit, this voltage fed back and a laser power voltage set for the control
circuit are compared for every scanning. As the result of this, a laser driver circuit increases its forward
current when the laser power is insufficient and decreases it when the laser power is excessive to main-
tain a constant optical output.

8.4 Polygonal Motor Control Circuit
The polygonal motor is a DC motor rotated by a clock signal (PMTRCLK) output from the SoC. This
motor is controlled under PLL (Phase Locked Loop) to realize an accurate and constant rotation. Its
rotation status is converted to a status signal (PMTRSTS-0) and then output to the ASIC. PMTRSTS-0
signal moves to a low level only when the rotation status of the motor is constant. The SoC detects the
rotation status with this signal, and emits a laser beam only when the rotation status is constant.

1) The ASIC outputs the control signals for the main motor rotation.
(MMTR-0 signal: Motor rotation command, MMTRCCW-1 signal: Rotation direction)
2) The main motor is rotated by the excitation phase-switching section exciting each phase of the main
motor.
3) Hall elements A, B and C detect the rotation position of the motor (rotor).
4) The excitation phase-switching section switches the excitation of each phase.

(The motor keeps rotating by repeating from 2 to 4.)
5) An FG (Frequency Generator) pulse is generated by the rotation of the motor.
6) The FG pulse and the reference clock (MMTRCKA) from the SoC are compared in terms of the
phase and speed, and the difference is added to the excitation phase-switching section. Fluctua-
tions in the power supply voltage are also added to the value.
7) According to the result of step 6, the switching timing of the excitation phase-switching section is
changed and the FG pulse and the reference clock are controlled to make them equal. This will
make the main motor rotate at a constant speed. (Lock range)
8) When the motor is in the lock range, the excitation phase-switching section outputs the MMTRPLL-1
signal in the "L" level to the ASIC.
9) When MMTRBK-0 signal from the ASIC becomes "L" level, the motor is braked. When the MMTR-0
signal becomes "H" level, the motor is stopped.

Control signal of main motor
MMTR-0 signal:
This signal switches the ON/OFF of the main motor. When this signal becomes "L" level, the motor
starts rotating, and when it becomes "H" level, the motor stops.
MMTRCCW-1 signal:
This signal switches the rotation direction of the main motor. When this signal becomes "L" level, the
motor rotates clockwise seen from the rear side, and the drum and developer unit, etc. start driving.
MMTRCKA signal:
This signal is a reference clock which keeps the main motor rotation at a constant speed.
MMTRPLL-1 signal:
This is a signal to show that the main motor rotation is in the lock range. When the cyclic change of
the FG pulse period against the reference clock is within (6.25%, this is defined as a lock range (the
normal rotation of the motor) in the main motor. When it is within this range, this signal becomes "L"
level.
MMTRBK-0 signal:
This signal applies a brake on the main motor. When this signal becomes "L" level, a brake is
applied to the rotation of the motor.

10. PAPER FEEDING SYSTEM

The purpose of this system is to pick up a sheet of paper from the drawer or bypass tray and transport
it to the transfer position. The paper feeding system mainly consists of the pickup roller, registration
roller, bypass sensor, paper empty sensor, registration sensor and the drive system for these compo-
nents.

10.3 Functions
1) Pickup roller
This roller, which has a semicircle shaped roller section, draws out a sheet of paper from the drawer
and transports it to the registration roller. One rotation of the pickup roller transports one sheet of
paper to the registration roller.
2) Pickup solenoid (SOL1)

Starts transmission of the drive to the drawer pickup clutch. The driving force is not transmitted to
the drawer pickup clutch when the pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned OFF, but is transmitted when it
is turned ON. The pickup roller rotates once for every one ON of the pickup solenoid (SOL1).
3) Drawer pickup clutch

This is a spring-type mechanical one-way clutch used to transmit the drive from the main motor (M3)
to the pickup roller. When the pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned OFF, the spring tension of the one-
way clutch is decreased to cut off the drive.
4) Paper empty sensor (S7)

This is a transmissive-type sensor and detects the availability of paper in the drawer. When there is
no paper in the drawer, the actuator blocks the light path of the sensor, and the sensor determines
that there is no paper.
5) Bypass pickup roller

Draws out a sheet of paper from the bypass tray, and transports it to the bypass feed roller. The
roller goes down and starts rotating when the drive is transmitted.
6) Bypass feed roller

Transports the paper from the bypass pickup roller to the registration roller. 10
7) Bypass separation pad

When two or more sheets of paper are transported from the bypass pickup roller, since the resis-
tance force of the separation pad is larger than the frictional force between the sheets, the lower
sheets are not transported any further.
8) Bypass sensor (S8)

Detects whether paper is set in the bypass tray or not. When paper is set in the bypass tray, bypass
feeding is performed in preference to drawer feeding. And it also detects whether paper has been
transported from the bypass tray or not (i.e. whether the leading/trailing edge of the paper has
passed the bypass feed roller or not.). The sensor is also used to detect jams such as paper mis-
sending in the bypass unit.
9) Bypass pickup solenoid (SOL2)

Starts transmission of the drive to the bypass pickup clutch and bypass feed clutch. The driving
force is not transmitted to the bypass pickup clutch and bypass feed clutch when the bypass pickup
solenoid (SOL2) is turned OFF, and is transmitted to move down the pickup roller and rotate the
bypass pickup roller and bypass feed roller when it is turned ON.
10)Bypass pickup clutch

to the cam which moves the bypass pickup roller up and down. When the bypass pickup solenoid
(SOL2) is turned OFF, the spring tension of the one-way clutch decreases so that the bypass pickup
roller moves to the upper position (standby position), and moves to the lower position (operation
position) when the solenoid is turned ON.
10 - 3
11)Bypass feed clutch
to the bypass feed roller and bypass pickup roller. When the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL2) is
turned OFF, the spring tension of the one-way clutch decreases to cut off the drive.
12)Registration roller
Paper transported from the pickup roller or bypass feed roller is pushed against the registration
roller which aligns the leading edge of the paper. Then, the registration rollers rotate to transport the
paper to the transfer position.
13)Registration roller clutch (CLT1)

This is an electromagnetic clutch which drives the registration roller. When the registration roller
clutch (CLT1) is turned ON, the drive is transmitted from the main motor (M3) to rotate the registra-
tion roller.
14)Registration sensor (S4)

It is used to detect that the leading edge of the paper has reached the registration roller and to con-
trol the aligning amount of the paper (the amount of the paper bend before it is transported to the
registration roller). Also, it is used to detect the trailing edge of the paper has passed the registration
roller.
15)Drawer detection sensor (SW5)

The switch to detect whether the drawer is fully inserted or not.
10 - 4
10.4 Operation
10.4.1 Drawer
[A] Operation of pickup roller

When the drawer is inserted into the equipment, the lock located in the center of the drawer is released,
and the tray in the drawer is lifted up by the spring. This makes the paper set in the tray contact the
pickup roller when it is rotated.
The driving force of the main motor (M3) is transmitted through the pickup clutch to the pickup roller.
Also the drawer pickup clutch transmits the drive when the pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned ON. The
pickup roller is rotated one turn by this driving force to pull out a sheet of paper from the drawer. The
pickup roller stops at its home position for each rotation. Therefore, when multiple sheets of paper are
fed, the pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned ON at each rotation. One rotation of the pickup roller, which is
semicircle shaped, can transport a sheet of paper to the registration roller.
This feeding system has no mechanism specific for detecting the transported paper. Therefore, whether
the paper has been transported to the registration sensor (S4) within a specified period of time or not is
substituted for the paper jam detection.

[B] Paper separation
This model is equipped with separation claws which work to prevent multiple paper feeding. Two sepa-
ration claws are installed to hold the 2 corners of the leading edge of the paper in the drawer.
When feeding starts, the pickup roller rotates. Since the friction between the pickup roller and paper is
greater than the friction between two sheets, the pickup roller tries to send out a sheet of paper from the
top of the stack. Because both corners of the paper stack are held by the separation claws, the paper
on the top of the stack becomes bent and is sent out while the lower paper is not. When the picking up
force of the roller increases, one sheet of paper is finally released from the claws. The sheet released
from the separation claws is directly transported to the registration roller by the pickup roller.

10.4.2 Bypass tray
[A] Operation of drawer pickup roller

When the paper is set on the bypass tray, the bypass sensor (S8) detects it and judges that there is
paper on the bypass tray, and the bypass feeding is performed in preference to drawer feeding.
When the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned ON, the driving force of the main motor (M3) is
transmitted to the bypass pickup clutch and bypass feed clutch. The bypass pickup roller is shifted
down by the drive from the bypass pickup clutch. And then, the bypass pickup roller, as well as the
bypass feed roller, is rotated by the drive from the bypass feed clutch to transport the paper on the
bypass tray to the bypass feed roller.

[B] Paper separation
This model is equipped with a separation pad which works to prevent multiple paper feeding. The sepa-
ration pad is pushed to the bypass feed roller by the spring force. The bypass feed roller is rotated syn-
chronously with the bypass pickup roller. When two or more sheets of paper are fed from the bypass
pickup roller, since the friction between two sheets of paper is smaller than that between a sheet and
the separation pad, the lower sheets are not transported any further while the uppermost one is trans-
ported by the feed roller.
The paper transported by the bypass feed roller reaches the registration roller. After the paper is
aligned by the registration roller, the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL2) is turned OFF to stop the bypass
pickup roller and bypass feed roller, and the bypass pickup roller returns to its original position.

10.4.3 General operation
[A] From power ON to standby status

If the drawer is not completely inserted when the equipment is turned ON, it is judged by the drawer
detection switch (SW5) that the drawer has not been inserted. Paper detection in the drawer cannot
be performed unless the drawer is fully inserted.
When the equipment is turned ON, if the paper empty sensor (S7) is turned OFF (L), it is judged that
there is no paper in the drawer. With the sensor (S7) being ON (H), it is judged that there is paper in
the drawer.
If either of the sensors; registration sensor (S4) or exit sensor (S5) is ON (meaning there is paper on
the transport path) when the equipment is turned ON, it is determined that a paper jam has occurred
and no operation is enabled until the jammed paper is removed.
[B] Standby status

After the availability of paper is checked as described above, the equipment enters the standby
state.
[C] Drawer feeding

When the pickup solenoid (SOL1) is turned ON, the driving force of the main motor (M3) is transmit-
ted to the drawer pickup clutch to rotate the pickup roller one turn. Then, a sheet of paper is fed and
transported to the registration roller.
The leading edge of the paper turns ON the registration sensor (S4), and then the paper stops at the
registration roller.
The registration clutch (CLT1) is turned ON and the paper aligned by the registration roller is trans-
ported to the transfer unit. 10
[D] Bypass feeding

The bypass sensor (S8) detects the availability of paper.
When the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL2) is turned ON, the bypass pickup clutch arm and bypass
feed clutch arm are pulled away from each clutch.
The driving force of the main motor (M3) is transmitted to the bypass pickup clutch and bypass feed
clutch to rotate the bypass pickup roller and bypass feed roller. At this time, the bypass pickup roller
rotates and goes down simultaneously.
Feeding starts and a sheet of paper is transported to the registration roller. The leading edge of the
paper turns ON the registration sensor (S4), and then the paper stops at the registration roller.
The bypass pickup solenoid (SOL2) is turned OFF, and the bypass pickup clutch arm and bypass
feed clutch arm come in contact with each clutch. The drive for the bypass pickup roller and bypass
feed roller is cut off, and the bypass pickup roller unit is lifted up.
The registration clutch (CLT1) is turned ON and the paper aligned by the registration roller is trans-
ported to the transfer unit.

11.3 Functions
1) Drum
The drum is made of a cylindrical aluminum base coated with thin film of organic photoconductive
substance.
The photoconductive object becomes insulative (the electrical resistance is high) when it is not
exposed to the light and electrically conductive (the electrical resistance is low) when it is exposed to
the light. This object is called a photoconductor.
2) Main charger
The main charger in this equipment consists of a metal rod with U-shaped section, insulated blocks
at both ends of the rod and a needle electrode attached between them.
When a high voltage is applied to the needle electrode, the air around it is charged (ionized). The
ionized air then flows into the drum causing it to be charged. This phenomenon is called corona dis-
charge. At the same time, a control bias is applied to the main charger grid to control the charging
amount.
In a dark place, negative charge is evenly applied onto the drum surface by the corona discharge
and this grid. In addition, a cleaner is installed to clean up the dust attached on the needle electrode.
- Needle electrode
The needle electrode has aligned needles and their points perform the corona discharge. These
points (electrodes) discharge toward the drum in one direction to realize the more efficient dis-
charging comparing to the charger wire which discharges in a radial direction. Therefore, the
needle electrode enables to reduce the ozone amount.
Main charger 11
Needle electrode
Charge
Fig. 11-2

3) Drum cleaner
- Cleaning blade
This blade is pressed against the drum surface and scrapes off the residual toner from the drum
surface.
- Recovery blade
This blade catches the toner scraped off by the cleaning blade.
- Toner recovery auger
This auger carries the residual toner scraped off to the developer unit and reuses the toner.
4) Transfer/Separation charger
- Transfer guide
This guide leads the paper transported from the feeding unit to the transfer section.
Positive (+) bias voltage is applied to the registration roller and post-transfer guide to prevent the
transferability from being lowered under conditions such as high humidity.
- Transfer charger
The transfer charger applies a charge (positive (+) charge) which is contrary to the charging
polarity of the toner to the back of the paper. The toner image is transferred electrostatically on
the paper by performing this corona discharge.
- Separation charger
After the transfer process, the corona discharge applies a negative charge (DC) on the back of
the paper to separate the paper adhering to the drum surface by an electrostatic force.
5) Exhaust fan (M5)

The exhaust fan (M5) cools down the inside of the equipment. The air to exhaust includes the ozone
generated by the corona discharge, and this ozone is removed by the ozone filter. The exhaust fan
(M5) also helps the paper separation by absorbing the paper to post-transfer guide.
6) Discharge LED (ERS)

Discharging is a process to decrease or eliminate the electrical potential of the drum surface.
The electrical resistance of the photosensitive layer is decreased by the light irradiation, and the
residual charge on the drum surface is neutralized and eliminated. The electrical potential of the
drum surface is fixed to a certain amount before the drum is charged.
7) Drum thermistor (THMS4)

The drum thermistor (THMS4) detects the drum surface temperature, and thus the rotation speed of
the exhaust fan (M5) is controlled when the equipment is in the ready status.
8) Switching regulator (PS)

This is a board to generate the output control voltage of the main charger, main charger grid, trans-
fer charger, separation charger, developer bias and pre/post-transfer guide bias.
9) Temperature/Humidity sensor (S3)

This sensor and drum thermistors (THMS1,THMS2) detect the temperature and humidity inside of
the equipment since the drum, developer material and paper are affected by environmental ele-
ments such as temperature or humidity. Thus the main charger grid, transfer/separation charger,
transfer guide bias, developer bias, laser output and auto-toner output are controlled to be at their
optimum states.

11.4 High-Voltage Output Control Circuit
11.4.1 General description

In this equipment, the high-voltage generation circuit is included in the switching regulator. It is con-
trolled by the ON/OFF signal of each bias output from the ASIC on the MAIN board and reference volt-
age Vc of each bias output from the SoC via the D/A converter. It generates the output current and
voltage of each bias according to the +24VCOV-OFF input from the low-voltage generation circuit of the
switching regulator.

11.4.2 Description of Operation
The function and operation of each signal are as follows:
ON/OFF signals (HVTM-0, HVTAC-0, HVTT-0, HVTSP-0, HVTGB-0):

These are for the charge grid (needle electrode / grid), developer bias (AC), transfer charger, transfer
guide bias and separation charger. When these signals become "L" level, the generation circuit of each
bias on the switching regulator is turned ON to generate an output current/voltage.
* The negative DC component of the developer bias is turned ON/OFF by switching the reference
voltage (HVDTR-0) separately. The positive DC component of the developer bias is output only
when the reference voltage (HVDTR-0) is 0.6 V or less and also the developer bias ON/OFF signal
(HVTAC-0) is ON.
Reference voltages Vc (HVMVR-1, HVDTR-1, HVTVR-1, HVSAV-1):

These are analog voltages which are the reference of each output of the charge grid, developer bias,
transfer charger and separation charger. Each bias output can be linearly changed by switching these
reference voltages.
The output operation of the reference voltage is as follows:

1) The adjustment values of the main charger, developer, transfer and separation bias in the Flash
ROM are output to the SoC.
2) The reference voltage data are output from the SoC to D/A converter.
3) Converted to analog data by the D/A converter
4) The reference voltage Vc of each bias is output to the high-voltage generation circuit.
5) The high-voltage generation circuit generates the output current/voltage which is proportional to
the reference voltage.
* The reference voltage is adjusted in the Adjustment Mode (05).

* The output values of the main charger and transfer guide bias are fixed when the high-voltage trans-
former is shipped from the factory.
Developer bias (AC) generation clock (HVCLK-0):

This clock signal is a reference of the AC component of the developer bias.
High-voltage generation circuit leakage detection signal (HVSDWN-0):

This signal is for leakage detection of the high-voltage generation circuit. This signal becomes "L" level
at the occurrence of such an abnormality.

11.5 Drum Temperature Detection Circuit

To prevent the print quality from varying depending on the temperature, the temperature of the drum
surface and around the drum is detected by the drum thermistor. Based on the result of the detection,
this circuit corrects the output of the main charger bias, developer bias, transfer bias and separation
bias as well as the output of the auto-toner sensor and the laser.
11.5.2 Circuit configuration

The configuration of the drum surface temperature detection circuit is shown below. The voltage output
from the drum thermistor is converted by the A/D converter in the Main board and is input into the SoC.
The drum thermistor is a device whose resistance decreases as the temperature rises; thus, the volt-
age input to the A/D converter becomes smaller along with the rise of the temperature.

11.6.1 General Description

To prevent the print quality from varying depending on the temperature and humidity of the place where
the equipment is installed, the temperature and humidity of the outside air taken into the equipment are
detected. Based on the result of the detection, this circuit corrects the output of the main charger bias,
developer bias, transfer bias and separation bias as well as the output of the auto-toner sensor and the
laser.
11.6.2 Circuit configuration

The configuration of the temperature/humidity detection circuit is shown below. The voltage output from
the temperature/humidity sensor is converted digitally by the A/D converter on the MAIN board and is
input into the SoC. The higher the temperature or the humidity is, the higher the output voltage of this
sensor becomes.

Development is the process of converting electrostatic latent images into visible images. The developer
material is supplied onto the photoconductive drum surface by the developer sleeve (magnet roller).
Then the toner in the developer material adheres to this drum surface to form images. This process is
performed in the developer unit.
This chapter explains about the units, parts and control circuits related to development.
The developer unit in this equipment has a recovered toner supply mechanism which recycles the
recovered toner scraped off by the drum cleaning blade. The developer unit is driven by the main motor
(M3) to rotate the mixers and the developer sleeve.

12.3 Functions
12.3.1 Function of each unit
[ 1 ] Developer unit
Developer material
This consists of carrier and toner. The carrier is electrically conductive ferrite whose particle size is
30-100 m, and the toner is resin whose particle size is 5-20 m. The developer material requires a
periodic replacement since it deteriorates with long-term use.
Mixers-1, -2 and -3
Mixing the developer material generates a friction of the carrier and the toner. The carrier is then
positively charged and the toner is negatively charged, and the charged carrier and toner adhere on
the drum surface by their static electricity. The mixer-3 is mounted exclusively for the recovered
toner to mix it in a sufficient period of time.
Developer sleeve (Magnet roller)

This aluminum roller includes a magnet inside. The developer sleeve absorbs the developer mate-
rial using this magnet to form a magnetic brush. The magnet is fixed therefore the only sleeve is
rotated. This rotation makes the magnetic brush of the developer sleeve sweep over the drum sur-
face, and thus development is performed.
Doctor blade
This controls the amount of the developer material transported from the developer sleeve so that the
magnetic brush of the developer material can properly contact with the drum surface.
Auto-toner sensor (S6)

To print out normal images, a constant ratio of the carrier and the toner in the developer material (=
toner density) must be maintained. The auto-toner sensor (S6) detects the content ratio of the toner
in the developer material with its magnetic bridge circuit. When this sensor detects the insufficient
status of the toner, it drives the toner motor (M2) to supply the toner from the toner cartridge.
12
Drum thermistor (THMS4)
This is installed in the developer unit to detect the ambient temperature of the drum.
Recovered toner supply mechanism (Toner recycling auger)

The recovered toner, transported from the drum cleaner, is then transported into the developer unit
by the toner recycling auger mounted on the front side of this unit. The drive of the toner recycling
auger is transmitted from the mixer-3.
[ 2 ] Toner cartridge
This is filled with the toner and this supplies the toner to the developer unit by the drive of the toner
motor (M2). The toner cartridge in this equipment mounts the toner cartridge PC board (CTRG), and
the data identifying recommended TOSHIBA toner cartridges and the counter values determining that
the cartridge is nearly empty are written in this board. These data are read out by the toner cartridge
interface PC board (CTIF) in this equipment, and data related to toner supply are also written in the
toner cartridge PC board (CTRG). The toner cartridge interface PC board (CTIF) also detects whether
the toner cartridge is installed or not.
[ 3 ] Toner motor (M2)

This drives the toner cartridge with gears.
12 - 3
12.3.2 Functions of the toner cartridge PC board (CTRG)
The toner cartridge in this equipment mounts the toner cartridge PC board (CTRG). An IC chip is
embedded in this board, and the data identifying the recommended TOSHIBA toner cartridge and
thresholds to determine if the cartridge is nearly empty are written in this chip.
To measure the amount of toner remaining in the cartridge, when the value of counter for period of
toner cartridge rotation time (08-1410) is updated, this equipment writes the updated value into the
toner cartridge PC board (CTRG).
These data written in the toner cartridge PC board (CTRG) enable the functions below, and accordingly
this equipment operates as shown below. Data reading is performed every time the power of this equip-
ment is turned ON and the front cover is closed.

Cartridge detecting function
This function checks whether the toner cartridge is inserted correctly or not, and whether the recom-
mended toner cartridge is used or not.
Toner remaining check function
This function notifies the user of the near-empty status of toner. Normally, the message Toner is
low is displayed when the toner is running out, and Toner empty when the toner cartridge is
empty.

check notification
function
A sign of the status that the toner cartridge is nearly empty (= the behavior of the toner lamp) appears
when the value of counter for period of toner cartridge rotation time has exceeded the thresholds previ-
ously written in the toner cartridge PC board (CTRG). When a used cartridge refilled with new toner is
used, that is the value of counter for period of toner cartridge rotation time in the toner cartridge PC
board (CTRG) had already exceeded the threshold to determine the near-empty status of the toner at
this moment, the sign of the near-empty status appears immediately after the installation of this car-
tridge. When a non-recommended toner cartridge is used, the toner lamp is lit by the cartridge detecting
function because its data cannot be read out.
The toner near-empty status threshold setting (08-971) is provided to adjust the timing for displaying
the toner near-empty status as follows.
12 - 4
06/06
The toner near-empty status threshold setting (08-971)
0: The period from the appearance of the toner near-empty sign to the actual complete
consumption of the toner is set long.
1: Normal (Default)
2: The period from the appearance of the toner near-empty sign to the actual complete
consumption of the toner is set short.
3: The sign of the status that the cartridge is nearly empty does not appear.
Note that the shorter the period described above is set, the more frequently the toner in the cartridge
may run out before the sign of the near-empty status of the toner appears because the way the toner
remains in the cartridge differs every time.
When the value of the toner near-empty status threshold setting (08-971) is set at 3, the toner remain-
ing check function is disabled.
When the cartridge detecting function is set to OFF (08-695 is set at 0), the value of the toner near-
empty status threshold setting (08-971) is automatically set at 3 and the toner remaining check func-
tion is disabled.
When the cartridge detecting function is set to ON (08-695 is set at 1), the value of the toner near-
empty status threshold setting (08-971) is automatically set at 1 and the toner remaining check func-
tion is enabled.

12.3.3 Recovered toner supply mechanism
The toner scraped off by the drum cleaning blade is transported by the toner recovery auger and the
toner recycling auger to be recycled, and then returned into the developer unit. Then the recovered
toner in the developer unit is mixed by the developer material using the mixer-3. The mixer-3 is
mounted exclusively for the recovered toner to mix it in a sufficient period of time. On the other hand,
the (fresh) toner transported from the toner cartridge into the developer unit is mixed by the mixer-2.
Then the (fresh) toner and the recovered toner are mixed together and further transported to the mixer-
1. They are further mixed by the mixer-1 and transported to the developer sleeve.

12.4 Toner Motor Control Circuit
The toner motor, which a DC motor driven by control signals from the ASIC on the MAIN board, sup-
plies toner to the developer unit by means of rotating the paddle and anger in the toner cartridge.
The toner motor is driven when the ON/OFF signal (TNRMTON-0) output from the ASIC becomes L
level.

13. FUSER / EXIT UNIT

In the equipment, the fuser unit which fuses toner on the paper and the paper exit section (exit roller)
which outputs the paper with the fused toner to the inner tray are combined together to make up the
fuser/exit unit.
In the fuser unit, toner is fused by applying heat and pressure on the transferred image on the trans-
ported paper. The paper is then transported to the exit tray after the completion of fusing. The fuser/exit
unit is driven by the main motor (M3), and the heat roller and exit roller are rotated by the main motor
(M3).
When the automatic duplexing unit (ADU: optional) is installed, it is driven by the exit motor (M7).
Other than the above rollers, the fuser/exit unit consists of the heater lamps, separation fingers, ther-
mistors (THMS1/THMS2/THMS3), fuser thermostat (THMO1), paper transport guide and the exit sen-
sor which detects the status of the paper transport, etc.

13.3 Functions
1) Pressure roller
The pressure roller is a sponge roller which assures the nip amount of the fuser roller. The pressure
from the spring presses the paper onto the fuser roller to fuse toner onto the paper efficiently.
2) Exit sensor (S5)

The exit sensor detects if the leading or trailing edge of the paper is passing through the pressure
roller and the fuser roller. This sensor is used for the detection of paper jams in the fuser/exit unit as
well.
3) Fuser roller
The fuser roller applies heat onto the paper and is heated by the heater lamps installed inside of the
fuser roller. The heat from this roller fuses toner onto the paper. The fuser roller in this equipment is
a thin roller which enhances heat conduction, and thus the warming-up time is shortened.
4) Heater lamp (LAMP1/LAMP2)

The heater lamps are halogen lamps to apply heat to the fuser roller. The fuser unit in this equip-
ment has 2 heater lamps (564W+564W) with different functions each other. One has a coil wound
up on its center and this part generates heat. The other one has coils wound up on its both ends and
these parts generate heat. The one has a coil on its center is called the center heater lamp (LAMP1)
and the one has coils on its both ends is called the side heater lamp (LAMP2).
The heater lamps are fixed on the inside of the fuser roller to heat it up. The heater lamps do not
rotate even when the fuser roller is rotating.
5) Sensor thermistor (THMS1) / Side thermistor (THMS2)

This thermistor detects the temperature of the fuser roller to maintain it in a certain temperature
range (actually around 170C) between the lower limit causing the poor fusing and the upper limit
causing the high temperature offsetting. When the temperature of the fuser roller is lower than the
preset temperature, it turns ON the power supply to the heater lamps, and when it is higher than the
preset temperature, it cuts off the supply.
The center thermistor (THMS1) detects the temperature of the center part of the fuser roller, and the
side thermistor (THMS2) detects the temperature of one side of fuser roller and control the both
sides.
6) Edge thermistor (THMS3)

13
Both the ends of the fuser roller may be overheated without heat absorption by the paper since it
does not pass through this area. The edge thermistor (THMS3) detects any temperature abnormal-
ity of this area caused by overheating of the fuser roller. Therefore this thermistor is not used for
temperature control of the fuser roller.
7) Fuser thermostat (THMO1)

The fuser thermostat (THMO1) cuts off the power supply to the heater lamps (LAMP1/LAMP2) by
opening itself if the fuser roller becomes abnormally hot as a result of the problem such as ther-
mistor malfunction. The fuser thermostat (THMO1) for this equipment is used to prevent abnormal
operation. When the fuser thermostat (THMO1) detects any abnormality, it must be replaced as well
as the other damaged parts in the fuser unit.
8) Separation finger
Five separation fingers are installed above the fuser roller, in order to separate paper adhering to
each roller.
9) Exit roller
The exit roller, which transports the paper to the inner tray, is driven by the main motor (M3). It is
driven by the exit motor (M7) when the ADU (optional) is installed.
13 - 3
10)Exit motor (M7)
The exit motor is a stepping motor which drives the exit roller. This motor rotates reversely to switch-
back the exit roller when the paper is transported to the ADU. Install this exit motor (M7) when the
ADU (optional) is installed.
13 - 4
13.4 Operation
The fuser roller is pressed by the pressure roller with the spring force. The fuser roller is rotated by the
main motor drive, and the pressure roller is rotated by the rotation of the fuser roller. In addition, the
heater lamps in the fuser roller do not structurally rotate.
2 heater lamps having different functions are installed; one applies heat to the center part of the fuser
roller and the other applies heat to both ends of the roller. In this equipment, the surface temperature of
the fuser roller at any paper size can be maintained by controlling the turning ON/OFF of the 2 heater
lamps. The thermistors control the temperature of the fuser roller and detect temperature abnormalities.
If the temperature becomes excessively high, the thermostat is opened to stop the power supply to the
heater lamps.
Then the paper transported to the fuser unit is held between the fuser roller and pressure roller, and
toner is fused on the paper with heat and pressure. After this, the separation fingers separate the paper
from the fuser roller. Then the paper is transported to the inner tray through the exit roller. The paper
transport status of the fuser/exit unit is detected by the exit sensor.
When the power is turned ON, the warming up of the fuser unit is started: the heater lamps are turned
ON. If the temperature of the fuser roller does not reach or exceeds a specified temperature within a
specified period of time, it is judged that the heater is abnormal. When the specified temperature has
been reached normally, the equipment goes into the ready state.
When printing is not performed within a specified period of time during ready, the equipment enters the
Auto Power Save Mode and turns the 2 heater lamps OFF or lowers the control temperature to save
power consumption. And if printing is not performed within another specified period of time after the
equipment has entered the Auto Power Save Mode, the equipment then enters the Auto Shut Off mode
to turn OFF the 2 heater lamps.

13.5 Fuser Unit Control Circuit
13.5.1 Configuration
In this equipment, the surface temperature of the fuser roller is controlled by turning ON/OFF 2 heater
lamps (center and side) which have different heat-generating positions with the command from the SoC
on the MAIN board. The surface temperature of the fuser roller is detected by 3 thermistors (center,
side and edge) and then the information of the temperature is transmitted to the SoC and each control
circuit. Based on the detected temperature, the SoC transmits the control signal of the heater lamp to
the control circuit (TRC: Triac) of each heater lamp on the switching regulator. The power supply to
each fuser roller is thus controlled by driving TRC. The SoC detects the overheating of the fuser roller.
In case that the surface temperature of the fuser roller has exceeded the specified temperature, the
SoC turns the heater lamp OFF.
If the SoC does not function for some reason and the fuser roller is abnormally overheated as the
result, a forcible power-OFF circuit transmits a relay-OFF signal to the switching regulator to shut off the
power supply to the heater lamp by opening the relay. In addition, if these control circuits do not func-
tion with thermistor abnormality or other reasons and the fuser roller is abnormally overheated as the
result, thermostat shut off the power supply to the heater lamps to protect the equipment.

13.5.2 Temperature detection section
To maintain the surface temperature of the fuser roller at a certain level, 3 thermistors (center, side and

Fig. 13-3
Remark:
During warming-up, 2 heater lamps (center and side) are turned ON to raise the surface temper-
ature of the fuser roller. During ready and printing status, each heater lamp is turned ON/OFF
alternately to maintain the surface temperature of the fuser roller at a certain level (setting tem- 13
perature of each status).
3) Temperature control for the both ends of the fuser roller

During continuous printing, the temperature of the end of the fuser roller (area where the paper does
not pass on) generally tends to be higher than that of other areas (areas where the paper passes
on). For this reason, the edge thermistor detects the temperature of the end of the fuser roller. When
this thermistor detects the abnormal temperature (Approx. 235C), the heater lamp is turned OFF
regardless of the temperature of the area where the paper passes on.

4) Temperature control at Energy Saving Mode
This equipment has the following two types of temperature control for saving energy and returns to
ready status to perform printing in each mode upon printing request.
The period of time from the printing request to this mode can be set in Setting Mode (08).
Auto Power Save Mode (08-205):

When the printing is not performed in a specified period of time (default: 15 min.) after the previous
printing is completed, the equipment enters to Auto Power Save Mode to turn OFF the heater lamp.
* When a value other than OFF is set for the Fuser roller temperature in Auto Power Save Mode
(code 08-409/448), the equipment controls to maintain the fuser roller temperature at the preset
value by turning the 2 heater lamps ON/OFF alternately.
Auto Shut Off Mode (08-206):

When no operation is performed in a specified period of time (default: 15 min.) after the equipment
entered to Auto Power Save Mode, the equipment then enters Auto Shut Off Mode to be in the OFF
state (e.g. turns off the unnecessary displays on the control panel, etc.).

5) Fuser unit error status counter control
- To enhance the safety of the fusing section unit, SoC provides the following protection: When the
third [C41] error has occurred after two consecutive [C41] errors, the heater lamp is not turned
ON and error [C41] is displayed immediately even if an operator turns OFF the power and back
ON. However, if the equipment goes into a ready state normally with the fuser unit error status
counter 1 or below, the counter is cleared to 0.
- If the error codes [C41] to [C45] are displayed and still not cleared even though the thermistor,
thermostat and heater lamp have been repaired (and the power ON/OFF does not clear the
error), check the Setting Mode (08-400) to set the fuser unit error status counter to 0.
Remark:
The fuser unit error status counter (Setting Mode (08-400)) never has values other than 0-19.
If the heater lamp does not turn ON and the service call [C41] is displayed immediately after
the power is ON, ensure the fuser unit error status counter is 2 or over. If it is 2 or over, be
sure to check the thermistor, thermostat and heater lamp. Reset the counter to 0 after repair-
ing them, then turn ON the power.
If the fuser unit error status counter is 20 or over (e.g., 31), the data in SRAM or SRAM itself
may possibly have been ruined due to causes such as leakage from the chargers. Check the
bias, high-voltage transformers and charge wires to see if any of them is defective, and also
look through all the data in the SRAM.
When the thermistors detect overheating, the SoC decides the error code and counter value
of the fuser unit error status, and turns OFF each output (the heater lamp, control panel dis-
play, motors and so on) to protect the fuser unit.
Error code: C44 ([CLEAR/STOP] and [8])

Counter value of the fuser unit error status: 9 (08-400)
Thermistors continue detecting the abnormal temperature even after the error codes and
counter values are decided. Even if the power is turned ON immediately, the heater lamp is
automatically turned OFF again when the surface temperature of the fuser roller is still higher
than the abnormal temperature detected.
Wait until the surface temperature of the fuser roller is lowered enough, and turn ON the
power to check the counter value. After confirming that it is the fuser unit abnormality, correct 13
the abnormality and reset the counter value (08-400) to 0 to start up the equipment normally.
13 - 9
6) Temperature detection configuration
Thermistor is a device whose resistance decreases as it detects a higher temperature. Thus its input
voltage to A/D converter changes and then SoC judges whether this change is normal or abnormal.
If one of the fuser roller thermistors is broken, the control circuit judges that the fuser roller tempera-
ture is extremely low and keeps turning the heater lamp ON. As a result, the fuser roller temperature
rises, and possibly activates the thermostat which is a safety protection device. To prevent this in
advance, SoC works to detect whether each thermistor is broken or not.
Also, the thermistors constantly check the temperature of heater lamp to prevent it from excessive
heating by MAIN circuit abnormality or thermistor abnormality. The thermistors automatically turn
OFF the power when the temperature of heater lamp exceeds the specified temperature.

14. AUTOMATIC DUPLEXING UNIT (ADU) (OPTION: MD-0103)

The Automatic Duplexing Unit (ADU) is a unit to reverse a sheet of paper at duplex copying.
A switchback method using the exit roller is adopted for the ADU of this equipment. Immediately after
the printing of one side (fusing process) is completed, the paper is switchbacked by the exit roller. The
paper being reversed is then transported to the registration roller for the printing of the other side.
The ADU mainly consists of the transport rollers and their drive section, the paper guides and the ADU
driving PC board (ADU).

The back side printing (recording data of the back side of paper) is performed first by selecting duplex
printing mode and pressing the [START] button. When the trailing edge of the paper passes the exit
gate, the paper is switchbacked by the exit roller and transported into the ADU.
The front side printing (recording data of the front side of paper) is performed at the registration section.
The paper passes through the exit gate again and is transported to the inner tray to complete duplex
printing.
The detection of paper jam is performed in two methods. In one method the paper jam is judged by
whether the ADU sensor is turned ON or not within a specified period of time after the paper started to
be switchbacked to the ADU (error code: E51), and in another method, it is judged by whether the reg-
istration sensor (S4) is turned ON or not within a specified period of time after the paper started to be
fed out of the ADU to the equipment (error code: E11).
ADU open jam (error code: E43) occurs when the ADU is opened during the duplex printing and thus
the ADU motor is stopped.
The equipment is never to be stopped during printing by interruption in any case except paper jam or
service call.
The operation of the duplex printing differs depending on the size of the paper; single-paper circulation
and alternateness circulation. The figures in the following pages show the circulating operations during
duplex copying. The numbers in the figures indicate the page numbers.
14 - 6
1) Single-paper circulation
With the paper larger than A4/LT size, duplex printing (back-side printing front-side printing) is
performed for one sheet at a time as shown below.

15. POWER SUPPLY UNIT
15.1 Construction
The power supply unit consists of the AC filter, insulated-side DC output circuit, high-voltage output cir-
cuit, and heater lamp control circuit.
1) AC filter
Eliminates noise from the outside and prevents the noise generated by the equipment from leaking
to the outside.
2) DC output circuit (Low-voltage output circuit)

Converts AC voltage input from outside to DC voltage and supplies it to each electric part. The DC
voltage is divided into the following two lines.
a.Main switch line: Power supply used in the entire equipment during the image forming pro-
cess. Six kinds of voltage (+5V, +5VB, +12V, -12V, +24V and +24VDF) are
output when the main switch of the equipment is turned ON.
b.Cover switch line: Power supply used in the entire equipment during the image forming pro-
cess. It is supplied via the cover switch. This voltage (+24VCOV-OFF) is
output only when both the main switch of the equipment and the cover
interlock switches are turned ON (when the front and ADU covers are
closed).
* When the equipment is in Energy Saving Mode (Auto Shut Off Mode), only the +5VB for the main
switch line is supplied.
3) High-voltage output circuit

Generates the output currents/voltages for the charger, developer, transfer and separation biases,
based on the +24V voltage which is generated by the DC output circuit. For details of the high-volt-
age output circuit, see the following.
P.11-5 "11.4 High-Voltage Output Control Circuit"
4) Heater lamp control circuit

TRC (Triac) is driven by the heater control signal (HTON1B/HTON2B) from the MAIN board and
then AC power is supplied to each heater lamp (center and side) in the fuser unit. For details of the
heater lamp control circuit, see the following.
P.13-6 "13.5 Fuser Unit Control Circuit"

15.2 Operation of DC Output Circuit
1) Starting line output

When the power of the equipment is turned ON, all the voltages start being supplied. However, they
start being supplied only when both the front cover and the ADU cover are closed.
2) Stopping line output

When the power of the equipment is turned OFF, the power-OFF (PWRDWN-1) signal is output after
the end of the instantaneous outage insurance time (20 ms or more), and then the supply of each
voltage stops. If the supply of voltage of the +5VB line stops earlier than the 24V line does, it may
cause damage to the electron device on each control circuit. To prevent this, the supply of the +5VB
voltage stops after the power-OFF signal is output and the minimum retaining time (50 ms or more)
has elapsed.
3) Output protection
Each output system includes an overcurrent and overvoltage protection circuit (a fuse and internal
protection circuit). This is to prevent defects (damage or abnormal operation of the secondary cir-
cuit) which may be caused by an overcurrent due to a short circuit or an overvoltage resulting from
short-circuiting between different voltages. If the protection circuit is activated (except when the fuse
is blown), repair the causes such as short-circuiting. Turn ON the power again 1 minute later to clear
the overcurrent protection.
