3.2.1 Plate-up function of the paper tray
The plate of the paper tray is pushed up by the force exerted by the motor not by springs so as
to keep pressure to the paper pick-up roller and enhance paper-feeding performance
irrespective of the quantity of papers remaining in the tray.
At the time of inserting the paper tray into the main body of the product, the plate is kept
lowered. When the paper feed motor is operated under such condition, a driving force is
transmitted to the lift gear Z36M75 by way of several gears. The force is also transmitted to
the plate-up plate to push up the plate.
Plate
Fig. 2-5
When the plate is pushed up, the lift arm goes down and the hook B is released. The P/P gear
26 sector off the hook B rotates to push down the rib of the hook A. Subsequently, the ratchet
of the hook A for the planetary clutch ASSY deviates from the gear and the plate-up plate
stops its push-up function.

3.2.2 Paper supply
When the paper pick-up solenoid is turned ON, the power of the paper feed motor rotates the
paper pick-up roller, and it picks up a few sheets or one sheet of paper from the top of the
sheets in the paper tray every time it is rotated and feeds it to the separation roller.
Subsequently, stacks of paper are caught between the separation roller and separation pad
ASSY, they are then separated into single sheets.

3.2.3 Paper registration
Passing of each sheet of paper which is separated by the separation roller is detected by the
registration front actuator. Then, the paper is fed further for a certain time, and its front edge
hits the stopped PF registration roller so that the paper skew is corrected. After such
correction, the registration solenoid is turned OFF, the power of the paper feed motor rotates
the PF registration roller, and the paper is fed to the belt unit. The fed paper is fed to the
delivery unit by the belt unit.

<Operation of actuators>
- Registration front actuator detects the passage of paper and the trailing edge of paper.
- Registration rear actuator detects the timing when the leading edge of the paper passes
through the PF registration roller to adjust the starting position for writing on the paper.
- When a paper jam occurs, both actuators will provide information to identify the location
where the jam occurred.

3.2.4 Paper eject
Drive of the fuser/eject drive motor rotates the heat roller and pressure roller of the fuser unit,
and toner on paper is fused as the paper is being fed. Paper moves along the paper eject
guide and is ejected into the output tray from the exit roller 2 with its print side down.

<Operation of actuators>
- The paper eject front actuator detects that the paper passes through the heat roller to detect
that the paper does not wind around the heat roller.
- The paper eject rear actuator detects that the paper passes through the fuser unit to detect
that a paper jam does not occur between the heat roller and exit roller 1.

3.2.5 Paper supply from manual feed slot and paper eject from back
When making print from the manual feed slot, set papers on it with the print side up. A sheet of
paper which is inserted from the manual feed slot one by one presses the manual paper
actuator, and consequently the actuator detects that there is a sheet of paper. When the
manual paper actuator is turned ON, pick-up from the manual feed slot is given priority. Power
of the paper feed motor rotates the PF registration roller, and a sheet of paper is picked up.
When making print while the back cover is open, a printed sheet is ejected from the back with
its print side up.

3.3 Toner Cartridge
3.3.1 Type of toner cartridge
This product has four types of toner cartridges, K (black), Y (yellow), M (magenta), and C (cyan),
and each toner cartridge has starter toner cartridge and standard toner cartridge. The toner
cartridges supplied with the product are starter toner cartridges, and the toner cartridges which
are sold as consumable parts are standard toner cartridges. There is a difference in the capacity
and inner shape between K and Y/M/C. In addition, the location to install each cartridge is fixed
depending on the colors.
The graph given in the next page shows the overview of change in the number of printable
pages in the case of making prints on A4-size paper.
Memo:
- The number of rotation of the developer roller per page is as follows.

3.3.3 Method of detecting toner life
This product detects the life of the toner cartridges using the following two means.
■ Detection by means of rotation rates of the develop roller reached its upper limit
This product has a function to stop the operation even if toner remains when the number of
rotation reaches the upper limit before the develop roller is worn out and becomes unusable.
When toner reaches its life, this product notifies the users about it by displaying a message to
that effect on the LCD. There are two messages to indicate toner reaches its life: “Toner Low”
and “Replace Toner.” While “Toner Low” is displayed on the LCD when the toner sensor
detects a certain amount of toner is used, “Replace Toner” is displayed on the LCD when the
toner sensor detects that usable toner in a toner cartridge is used up or when the number of
rotations of the develop roller reaches its life.
When “Replace Toner” is displayed on the LCD, no print can be made on this machine until the
toner cartridge in question is replaced with a new one.
3.3.4 Relationship between toner amount and life of toner cartridge in number
of rotations of develop roller
The number of printable pages by a single toner cartridge and upper limit of the number of
rotations of the develop roller are provided in the tables in the previous page. When printing
low-duty documents, however, there is a possibility that the number of rotations of the develop
roller reaches the upper limit, and “Replace Toner” is displayed before toner runs out.

2-11 Confidential
<Life of toner cartridge>
The life of the toner cartridge varies according to the average number of print pages per job.
(See the table below.) The number of printable pages is larger when making continuous prints
in one job because deterioration of the develop roller is low.
Relationship between average print page per 1 job and life of toner cartridges
Cartridge life (Standard-K) 1,500 2,174 2,556 2,803 2,975 3,102 3,200 3,277

Cartridge life (Starter-KYMC) 700 1,014 1,193 1,308 1,388 1,448 1,493 1,529
The develop roller also rotates for the warm-up operation, color registration adjustment
operation, and developing bias adjustment operation when the power is turned ON and when
the cover is opened or closed. Therefore, when these operations are frequently performed,
the life of toner cartridges is shortened. (The table below shows the worst case in which the
warm-up operation, color registration adjustment, and developing bias adjustment are
performed when the power is turned ON.)

Memo:
- This product prohibits the print operation while any of the toner cartridges is not mounted
or when “Replace Toner” is displayed. In other words, neither monochrome printing
without a color toner cartridge nor color printing without a black toner cartridge is
available.
- This product does not have a function to identify colors of the color toner cartridges.

3.3.5 New toner detection
When a toner cartridge is replaced and a new toner cartridge is mounted, there is a need to
reset the develop bias voltage value (refer to next page) to the initial value and to reset
prohibition of the print operation by clearing the display of "Toner Low" or "Replace Toner."
The old and new toner cartridges can be identified using the new toner detection mechanism
shown below.
■ New toner detection mechanism
When a new toner cartridge is mounted and the develop drive motor starts rotating, rotation is
conveyed to the reset gear via some other gears. Consequently, the rib on the reset gear
presses the reset upper lever, it turns ON the new toner sensor, and it is detected that a new
toner cartridge is mounted. If the develop drive motor further rotates, the rib on the reset gear
is disengaged from the reset upper lever, and the new toner sensor is turned OFF.
<For Standard toner cartridge>
Drive of the develop drive motor rotates the reset gear, and the rib on the reset gear presses
the reset upper lever. Consequently, the new toner sensor turns ON, and it is detected that a
new toner cartridge is mounted.

It is assumed that the starter toner cartridge is mounted when the main unit is turned ON for
the first time after the product is shipped out. The reset gear is not mounted.
2-13 Confidential
■ Developing bias voltage
Toner in use tends to have a low print density at the beginning of its use, but the density
gradually becomes higher after a certain period of use if the bias voltage is kept at a certain
level during development.
The properties of the toner is controlled by means of the developing bias voltage. The values
are varied according to counts of the amount of toner used immediately after a toner cartridge
is changed so that excellent print quality of even contrast can be obtained constantly from the
printing start time to the stop time.
In addition, the developing bias voltage of each toner cartridge is periodically corrected so as
to eliminate variation in the density of the four colors.
When the new toner detection mechanism detects the change to a new toner cartridge, the
developing bias voltage is reset.
Print density
Fig. 2-12
Note:
If a toner cartridge in use is replaced to a cartridge which has previously been in use before
reaching a toner life, the developing bias voltage will become incorrect and the density will
be changed, and consequently it may cause print failures. Toner cartridges being used
must not be replaced with other ones.

3.3.6 Method of counting the number of toner replacements
This machine keeps the number of times that the toner cartridges are replaced and the page
counters to learn the usage of the machine. These counters will not be deleted even if the
power is turned OFF. The following tables explain the method of counting the counter values
when the toner cartridges are replaced.
Note:
While the parameters explained above are separately controlled for 4 color toners, the
same counting method is applied.

3.4 Principle of Color Overlapping
The human eye distinguishes one color from others by receiving light’s three primary colors
(Red, Green, Blue). When monochrome lights are received, each color can be sensed.
However, when two-color lights, red (R) and green (G), are received, they are recognized as
“yellow”; when three-color lights, red (R), green (G) and blue (B), are received, they are
recognized as “white”. The fineness of coloration is perceived according to the nature of light.
Red
Yellow Magenta
White
Green Blue
Cyan
Fig. 2-13
For printed colors, the human eye can perceive them as various colors by distinguishing each
color light reflected off the surface of a sheet of paper.
(1) Green+Blue
“Cyan” absorbs red (R) light only
among the three-color lights and G
reflects green (G) and blue (B) lights, B
and consequently the light is identified B G R
as “Cyan.” Reflected Reflected Absorbed
Cyan toner
(2) Red+Blue
“Magenta” absorbs green (G) light only R
among the three-color lights and
reflects red (R) and blue (B) lights, and B
consequently the light is identified as B G R
“Magenta.” Reflected Absorbed Reflected
Magenta toner
(3) Blue
If cyan and magenta are mixed, cyan
absorbs red (R) light and magenta
absorbs green (G) light, and only blue B
(B) light is reflected. The light is B G R
identified as “blue.” Reflected Absorbed Absorbed
Fig. 2-14
Theoretically, if cyan, magenta and yellow are mixed, all the colors are not reflected and black
can be shown. However, a black mix is difficult to produce, and black is shown using
blackcolor paint for practical purposes. Using such a principle, color-absorbing paints are
mixed to allow many colors to be shown on the surface of a sheet of paper.

3.5 Basic Printing Principle
<Printing process>
(1) Charging: The surface of the drum is electrically charged (Primary Charge).
(2) Exposure: A printed image is formed on the surface of the drum by applying LED beam
(Electrostatic Latent Image).
(3) Development: Toner is adhered to the surface of the drum (Visible Image).
(4) Transfer: The toner on the surface of the exposure drum is transferred to the paper.
(5) Fusing: The transferred toner is fused on to the paper.
(6) Cleaning: Toner remaining on the exposure drum and belt unit is removed for recovery.
After these processes, the image is printed on the paper.

3.5.1 Charging
The exposure drum needs to be evenly electrified to coat toner beautifully on the exposure
drum. Ions are produced by supplying high-voltage power to the corona wire. The flow of the
ion charge is controlled by the constant voltage of the grid approximately 700 V and electrified
the exposure drum surface evenly.

3.5.2 Exposure
Exposure is conducted by LED (Light Emitting Diode) arrays.
Four LED arrays for K, Y, M and C are mounted as an LED ASSY on the top cover unit of the
main unit. These four LED arrays do not emit different colors corresponding to toner colors,
and they are the same parts in terms of structure.
LED ASSY
LED array
Fig. 2-17
On the PCB in the LED array, 4,992 LEDs, which correspond to the total number of the dots of
the 600-dpi print head, are arranged in a staggered pattern. The lens array forms image on
the exposure drum using the light emitted from the LEDs. The surface potential on the
exposure drum, which is evenly charged, is lowered by exposure, and consequently image is
formed.
Memo:
- The focus adjustment of the distance between the LED ASSY and exposure drum is
made by the lower rollers at the both ends of the LED ASSY, and a fixed distance is
maintained.
- Maximum print width is 207.44 mm = 4,900 dots.

3.5.3 Development
Toner is attracted to the latent-image area on the exposure drum where surface potential is
lowered due to exposure.
By controlling the developing bias voltage supplied to the develop roller, the amount of toner
taken to the exposure drum is adjusted to keep printing density constant.

The toner transferred on to the paper passes between the heat roller and the pressure roller in
the fuser unit and are fused by heat and pressure. The main CPU detects surface
temperature of the heat roller using the thermistor and turns ON/OFF the halogen heater lamp
to keep the temperature constant.

3.5.6 Toner cleaning
<Flow of toner cleaning>
(1) Toner remaining on the exposure drum which has not completely been transferred on to
the paper is pulled onto the drum cleaner with a lower potential and the drum is cleaned.
(2) After the above step, the potential of the drum cleaner is raised during printing, and such
attracted toner is returned to the exposure drum again. The returned toner is attracted to
the belt unit by lowering the potential of the transfer roller.
(3) The toner attracted to the belt unit is collected by the belt cleaner below the unit, and
stored in the waste toner box.
Memo:
When the toner returns to the exposure drum from the drum cleaner, the develop roller is
separated from the exposure drum to prevent color mixture.

3.7 Adjustment of Color Registration
In this device, the drum and develop unit are prepared for K, Y, M, and C respectively. Four
color images are combined into one image, and therefore color registration error might occur.
Auto color registration error correction control is to calculate the color registration error amount
and adjust the exposure timing as a means to prevent color registration error.
■ Execution timing
- When the continuous print elapsed time reaches a designated time, or when the elapsed
time of intermittence print or ready state reaches a designated time.
- Execution from the operation panel (Function code 66), etc.
- Immediately after the top cover is opened and closed.
- After the power is turned OFF and ON. (When the specified period of time has passed since
the previous execution.)
To obtain stable print quality, the density of each toner needs to be maintained at a fixed value.
If the density balance between the colors cannot be kept, the tint becomes unstable, and
accurate color reproduction becomes unavailable. The toner density is changed due to the
charged amount of toner, deterioration of the develop unit, and temperature and humidity in
the level device. Control to keep the stable print density is made by changing the develop bias
voltage.
■ Execution timing
- Execution is made at a designated timing (specified in WSW55; the default is 24 hours).
(Execution is made when print is started after a specified time has passed.)
- Execution from the operation panel (Function code 83), etc.
- Execution is made when toner is replaced with a new one.
- Execution is made when the ambient temperature is changed.
■ Operation
The density level adjustment test patterns are printed on the belt unit, and the density sensor
reads them. The read density of each color and the density reference value are compared,
and if any difference is found, the develop bias voltage is controlled to match the print density
to the reference value.

1. INTRODUCTION
Troubleshooting is the countermeasure procedures that the service personnel should follow if
an error or malfunction occurs with the machine. It is impossible to anticipate all of the
possible troubles which may occur in future and determine the troubleshooting procedures, so
this chapter covers some sample troubles. However, those samples will help the service
personnel pinpoint and repair other defective elements.
1.1 Precautions
Be sure to observe and follow all the precautions to prevent any secondary problems from
happening during troubleshooting.
(1) Always turn off the power and unplug the power cable before removing any covers or
PCBs, adjusting the machine and so on. If you need to take voltage measurements with
the power switched on, take the greatest of care not to receive an electric shock.
(2) When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, make sure that you hold the
connector body and not the cables.
(3) Static electricity charged in your body may damage electronic parts.
Before handling the PCBs, touch a metal portion of the machine to discharge static
electricity charged in your body. When transporting PCBs, be sure to wrap them in
conductive sheets.
When replacing the LED ASSY/PCBs, put on a grounding wrist band and perform the job
on a static mat. Also take care not to touch the conductor sections on the flat cables.
(4) Follow the warning by all means.
WARNING
The fuser unit becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait until it has cooled down
sufficiently before replacing consumable items. DO NOT remove or damage the
caution label located on or around the fuser.
WARNING
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or any organic solvent/liquids
contains alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this
may cause a fire or electrical shock.

1.3 Initial Check
Check the following items before attempting to repair the machine.
■ Operating environment
(1) Put your machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk that is free of vibration and
shocks.
(2) Use the machine in a well-ventilated room; use the machine within the following ranges of
temperature and humidity: temperature between 10 °C and 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F),
and the relative humidity is maintained between 20 % and 80 %.
(3) Ensure the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
(4) Keep the machine horizontal when you carry it. To prevent injuries when moving or lifting
this machine, make sure to use at least two people.
Fig. 3-2
■ Power supply
(1) The AC input power supply described on the rating plate of the machine should be within
±10 % of the rated voltage.
(2) The AC input power supply is within the regulated value.
(3) The cables and harnesses are connected correctly.
(4) The fuses are not blown.
■ Paper
(1) A recommended type of paper is being used. (Refer to “2.5 Paper” in Chapter 1.)
(2) The paper is not damp.
(3) The paper is not short-grained paper or acid paper.
■ Consumable parts
(1) The drum unit (including the toner cartridge) is installed correctly.
(2) The belt unit and waste toner box are installed correctly.
3-3 Confidential
■ Others
(1) Condensation
When the machine is moved from a cold place into a warm room, condensation may
occur inside the machine, causing various problems as listed below.
- Condensation on the optical surfaces such as the LED array may cause the print image
to be light.
- If the exposure drum is cold, the electrical resistance of the photosensitive layer is
increased, making it impossible to obtain the correct contrast when printing.
- Condensation on the charge unit may cause corona charge leakage.
- Condensation on the plate and separation pad may cause paper feed problems.
If condensation has occurred, leave the machine for at least two hours to allow it to reach
room temperature.
If the drum unit is unpacked soon after it is moved from a cold place to a warm room,
condensation may occur inside the unit which may cause incorrect images. Instruct the
user to allow the unit to come to room temperature before unpacking it. This will take one
or two hours.
(2) Low temperature
The motor may not drive normally under the low temperature environment. This is due to
there being too much load to drive each unit. In this case, the “Low Temperature/Increase
room temperature to allow the machine to operate” message will appear on the LCD.
Increase the room temperature when the above message is indicated.
■ Cleaning
Use a soft dry lint-free cloth.
WARNING
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or any organic solvent/liquids
contains alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may
cause a fire or electrical shock.

<Drum unit cleaning>
(1) Pull the drum unit out of the machine and take all the toner cartridges out of the drum unit.
Note:
We recommend that you place the drum unit on a clean, flat surface with a piece of
disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
(2) See the print sample to identify the color causing the problem. The color of the spots is
the color of the drum you should clean. For example, if the spots are cyan, you should
clean the drum for cyan. Put the print sample in front of the drum, and find the exact
position of the poor print.
Fig. 3-15
(3) Turn the drum unit gear to the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure below by hand
while looking at the surface of the drum “1”.

* The paper feeding kit includes the separation pad ASSY, pad spring and roller holder ASSY.
When replacing the periodical maintenance parts, each of the counters need to be reset in
order to record the number of replacement times. (Refer to “2.3 Parts Life Reset Function” in
Chapter 7.)
The number of printed pages of the machine can be checked on Print Settings. (Refer to “2.4
Printout of Printer Settings” in Chapter 7.)
The actual number of printed page will vary depending on the type of print job or the paper to
being used. The figures indicated as the approximate life in the table above are worked out
when printing a general business document (in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798) on A4-size
paper.
Note:
- Always turn off the power switch of the machine and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet before replacing the periodical maintenance parts.
- If the fuser unit is replaced after an error related to the fuser unit occurs, you need to wait
until the machine sufficiently cools down before replacing the unit. After replacing the
unit, turn ON the machine and leave it for approximately fifteen minutes. This will make
the machine to be released from the error.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid creating secondary problems by mishandling, follow the warnings and precautions
below during maintenance work.
WARNING
Some parts inside the machine are extremely hot immediately after the machine is used.
When opening the top cover or back cover to access any parts inside the machine, never
touch the shaded parts shown in the following figures.
Caution:
- Be careful not to lose screws, washers, or other parts removed.
- Be sure to apply grease to the gears and applicable positions specified in this chapter.
- When using soldering irons or other heat-generating tools, take care not to accidentally
damage parts such as wires, PCBs and covers.
- Static electricity charged in your body may damage electronic parts. When transporting
PCBs, be sure to wrap them in conductive sheets.
- When replacing the PCB and all the other related parts, put on a grounding wrist band and
perform the job on a static mat. Also take care not to touch the conductor sections on the
flat cables or on the wire harness.
- After disconnecting flat cables, check that each cable is not damaged at its end or
shortcircuited.
- When connecting flat cables, do not insert them at an angle. After insertion, check that the
cables are not at an angle.
- When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, hold the connector body, not the
cables. If the connector has a lock, release the connector lock first to release it.
- After a repair, check not only the repaired portion but also all connectors. Also check that
other related portions are functioning properly before operational checks.
- Violently closing the top cover without mounting the toner cartridge and the drum unit can
damage this product.

■ Life of drum unit
< How to read the drum unit life >
- It initially indicates 100% and gradually decreases.
- It indicates 10% when the “Drum End Soon” appears on the LCD.
< How to calculate the drum unit life >
The drum unit life is based on the “drum counter” or the “number of drum rotations”.
The drum counter is based on the total printed pages on each drum unit. This total
printed pages should be reset every time you replace the drum unit with a new one.
(Refer to “2.3 Parts Life Reset Function” in this chapter.) Basically this amount is equal to
the assured printable pages of the drum unit.
If the developing bias voltage correction or color registration adjustment is performed
frequently, however, only the number of drum rotations increases, and the “page counter
based on the number of drum rotation” exceeds the “drum counter” based on the total
printed page.
Refer to the calculation of the drum unit life based on the number of drum rotation below;
< How to calculate the page counter >
The number of drum rotations for the first page printed is about 28.
The number of drum rotations per one page for the second or later page printed
(continuous printing) is 5.
Page counter based on the number of drum rotations = {Number of drum rotations for the
first page printed + [Number of drum rotations per one page for the second or later page
printed x (Number of pages in continuous printing - 1)]} / 28
(* The number of drum rotations per one page continuous printing.)
Example: Starts to print when the machine is in the Ready state.
Continuous printing Page counter based on the number of drum rotations (Pages)
1 page/job {28 + [5 x (1 - 1)]} / 28 = 1
2 pages/job {28 + [5 x (2 - 1)]} / 28 = 1.18
18 pages/job {28 + [5 x (18 - 1)]} / 28 = 4.04
If you leave the machine without printing for a long time, the number of drum rotations is
increasing because the developing bias voltage correction and the color registration are
performed. If you print one page per one job every time after leaving the machine without
printing for a long time, the drum unit life is shorter than usual.
The number of drum rotations required for the developing bias voltage correction = 55
rotations.
Example: Performs the developing bias voltage correction and starts to print after leaving
the machine without printing for a long time.
Continuous printing Page counter based on the number of drum rotations (Pages)
1 page/job {55 + 28 + [5 x (1 - 1)]} / 28 = 2.96
2 pages/job {55 + 28 + [5 x (2 - 1)]} / 28 = 3.14
18 pages/job {55 + 28 + [5 x (18 - 1)]} / 28 = 6.00
The number of drum rotations required for the color registration = 27 rotations
Example: Performs the color registration adjustment and starts to print after leaving the
machine without printing for a long time.
Continuous printing Page counter based on the number of drum rotations (Pages)
1 page/job {27 + 28 + [5 x (1 - 1)]} / 28 = 1.96
2 pages/job {27 + 28 + [5 x (2 - 1)]} / 28 = 2.14
18 pages/job {27 + 28 + [5 x (18 - 1)]} / 28 = 5.00
If the developing bias voltage correction and the color registration are performed
continuously, the drum unit life is shorter.
