 Introduction

The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how-
ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.

The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be com-
municated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.High-Speed Printer
The machine is capable of printing as many as 35 pages per minute (LTR) at a resolution of 600 dpi.

2.Short Wait Time and Low Power Consumption

The machine uses an on-demand fixing method, in which its heater is turned on only when printing is under way, thus bringing about a short wait time and a low
rate of power consumption.

3.Large-Volume, Continuous Printing

In addition to the 250-sheet cassette that comes as standard, the machine is designed to accommodate the Paper Feeder PF-36 (optional) to offer a source of paper
that can hold up to 850 sheets (64 g/m2), enabling large-volume, continuous printing.

4.Auto Duplexing
The machine has a built-in duplexing mechanism so that double-sided prints may be made automatically.
5.Support of PCL6
The machine uses PCL5e and PCL6 from Hewlett-Packard as its page description language (PDL), permitting printing from various PCL-enabled applications.

1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Safety of Laser Light

0010-9078

Laser light can be extremely hazardous to the human body.

The machines laser scanning system is contained in a protective housing and external covers to prevent escape of laser light outside the machine. In other words,
the user is free of laser-related hazards as long as the machine is being used for its intended purposes.

1.6.2 CDRH Regulations

0010-9083

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the US Food and Drug Administration put into effect regulations concerning laser products on August 2, 1976.
These regulations apply to products produced on and after August 1, 1976, and prohibit the sale of laser products without certification. The following is a label used
to certify compliance with the CDRH regulations, and all laser products to be sold in the US must bear this label.

F-1-5

1.6.3 Safety of Toner

0010-9085

The machines toner is a non-toxic material made up of plastic, iron, and small amounts of dye.

Do not throw toner into fire.

Toner on Clothing or Skin

1.Remove toner from clothing or skin, and wash with water.
2.Do not use warm or hot water, which will cause the toner to turn jelly-like and fuse permanently with the fibers of clothing.
3.Toner tends to react readily with vinyl. Do not bring it in contact.

1.6.4 Handling the Laser Assembly

0010-9088

An invisible ray of laser light is used inside the laser scanner unit. Do not disassemble the unit, as exposure to laser light can cause the eye to suffer permanent

2.3 LASER EXPOSURE SYSTEM

2.3.1 Overview/Configuration

2.3.1.1 Overview
0010-9737

The machine's laser/scanner system is used to form latent images on the surface of the photosensitive drum according to the video signals arriving from the video
controller, and it consists of a laser driver PCB and a scanner motor.
The components are integrated as a single unit, and are controlled by the engine controller.
The following is a diagram of the laser/scanner assembly, followed by a description of its sequence of operation:

Cylindrical lens
Collimator

Photsensitive drum
F-2-2
The machines laser/scanner unit uses 2 laser diodes to draw 2 lines at the same time (high-speed laser scanning referred to as "2-beam method" ; see Notes).
Its sequence of operation is as follows:
1.In response to the print command from the formatter, the engine controller starts the scanner motor to rotate the 4-facet mirror.
2.When the scanner motor starts to rotate, the engine controller forces the laser to go on using the laser control signal, thus starting scanner motor rotation control.
3.The engine controller controls the scanner motor using the scanner motor speed control signal so that the motor will rotate at a specific speed.
4.When the rotation of the scanner motor has reached the target speed, the formatter sends the video signal to the laser driver PCB.
5.In response, the laser driver turns on the 2 laser diodes as dictated by the foregoing signals.

2-2
 Chapter 2

6.The 2 laser beams move through the collimator lens and the cylindrical lens to reach the 4-face mirror rotating at a specific speed.
7.The laser beam reflected by the 4-facet mirror moves to the imaging lens and to the reflecting lens arranged in front of the 4-facet mirror to finally reach the surface
of the photosensitive drum.
9.When the photosensitive drum rotates at a specific speed and, in addition, the laser beam scans its surface, a static image starts to take shape.

2-Beam Method
Mounted inside the laser unit are 2 laser diodes (LD1, LD2), designed to go on at the same time to draw 2 lines, thus enabling printing twice as much as would a
single diode operating at an identical speed.

The machine uses the APC control mechanism to turn on the laser diode at a specific intensity. There are two APCs, one is the initial APC (Note 1) and the other
is the between-lines APC(Note 2). They are controlled by the laser driver in the same way.
The following is the sequenceof this control.
1.When the LASER CONTROL signals (CNT0, CNT1, CNT2) put into the LD1 APC mode, the laser driver allows the LD1 to emit light with APC.

2-4
 Chapter 2

2.The light from LD1 is detected by the photodiode (PD), and its current is converted into voltage for comparison against the reference voltage (equivalent of the
target laser intensity).
3.The laser driver controls the laser current until the voltage is identical to the target intensity of LD1.
4.Thereafter, when the laser control signal changes to LD forced deactivation mode, LD1 is forced to go off and the laser retains the adjusted laser intensity in C812.
5.When the light intensity is adjusted for LD1, the laser control signal changes to LD2APCON mode and the laser driver causes LD2 to start APC emission. Then,
as in the case of LD1, the laser intensity of LD2 is adjusted, and the result will be retained by C822.

Note 1:Initial APC

It is APC executed in the course of initial rotation, and is used to adjust the laser intensity.
Note 2:Between-Lines APC
It is APC executed in the course of printing operation, and the laser intensity is adjusted for a single line before starting to write the line.

2.3.4.2 Scanner Motor Speed Control

0010-9746

The machine uses the scanner motor speed control mechanism to make sure that the scanner motor rotates at a specific speed at all times.

The following is the sequence of control:

1. When the scanner motor is starting up, the CPU sends the /ACC signal to the scanner driver IC to force the scanner motor to accelerate.
2. At specific intervals, the CPU forces the laser to go on, and compares the cycle of the /DEC signal and that of the reference clocks so as to find out the revolution
of the scanner motor.
3. When the revolution of the scanner motor exceeds a specific revolution, the CPU generates the /DEC signal to decelerate the scanner motor. Thereafter, the CPU
controls the /ACC or /DEC signal until the revolution of the scanner motor is a specific revolution, thus controlling the rotation of the motor.

2.3.4.3 Detecting a Fault in the Scanner Motor

0010-9747

The CPU monitors the /BDI signal to see if the scanner motor is rotating at a specific speed.
In response to any of the following conditions, the CPU will identify the presence of an error, and communicates the fact to the video controller:
1.Fault in the Scanner
-the /BDI signal is not detected 1 sec after the end of forced acceleration of the scanner motor.
-after the /BDI signal has been detected, the cycle of the /BDI signal does not reach 90% of a specific value within 14 sec.
-after the /BDI signal has been detected and the cycle of the /BDI signal has reached 90% of a specific value, the cycle does not reach a specific value within 15 sec.
2.Fault in BD
-after the scanner motor has reached a specific revolution, the /BDI signal is not detected within 1.5 sec.
-after the scanner motor has reached a specific revolution, the cycle of the /BDI signal is not as specified for 0.5 sec continuously.
3.Error in BD

2-5
 Chapter 2

-the CPU does not detect the /BDI signal at a specific cycle while the /BD signal is being sent to the video controller.

2.4 IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM

2.4.1 Overview/Configuration

2.4.1.1 Construction
0010-9781

The image formation system is the core of the machine, and consists of the cartridge, transfer charging roller, and fixing assembly.
Upon receipt of the print command, the engine controller drives the main motor and the fixing motor to rotate the photosensitive drum, developing cylinder, primary
charging roller, transfer charging roller, and pressure roller.
Thereafter, the primary charging roller charges the surface of the photosensitive drum to a uniform negative potential and, at the same time, the laser diode emits a
laser beam (modulated by the video signals VDO1, VDO2, /VDO1, /VDO2) against the surface of the photosensitive drum.
The static image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum turns the static image on the photosensitive drum into a visible, toner image, which will then be
transferred to print paper by the work of the transfer charging roller.
After transfer, the toner remaining on the photosensitive drum is cleaned by the cleaning blade, and the surface is then charged to a uniform potential by the primary
charging roller to prepare for the next static image.

2.4.1.2 Printing Process

0010-9784

The printer goes through several printing processes to form images.

These processes may broadly be divided into 5 blocks, consisting of 7 steps, at the end of which a permanent, toner image appears on print paper.
The following diagrams show printing blocks and steps:

3.Transfer Block
In this block, the toner image on the surface of the photosensitive drum is moved to print paper.
step 4:transfer (the toner image is moved from the surface of the photosensitive drum to print paper)
steps 5:separation (print paper is separated from the photosensitive drum)

4.Fixing Block
In this block, the toner image is permanently fused to print paper.
step 6:fixing
5.Drum Cleaning Block
In this block, the toner remaining on the photopositive drum is removed.
step 7:drum cleaning (residual toner sticking to the photosensitive drum is removed)

2.4.1.3 Static Image Formation Block

0010-9787

This block consists of 2 steps, at the end of which a static image is formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum.
The area of the surface of the photosensitive drum not exposed to the laser beam remains negatively charged, while the area exposed by the beam (light area) is rid
of negative charges.
The drum image formed by negative images, is not visible to the human eye and thus is known as a "latent" image.

step 1:primary charging
In this step, the surface of the photosensitive drum is charged to a negative potential to prepare for the formation of a static image. The machine uses the primary
charging roller to directly charge the surface of the drum.
The primary charging roller is made of conducting rubber, and is given an AC bias as well as a DC bias so that the surface potential of the photosensitive drum will
remain at a specific level.
The DC bias is made to vary in keeping with the developing DC bias, which varies in response to the image density information signal from the video controller.

step 2:laser beam exposure
In this step, a static image is formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum.
When a laser beam scans the negatively charged surface of the photosensitive drum, the changes in the light area will become neutralized so that there will no longer
be negative potential, resulting in a static image.

2.4.1.4 Development Block

0010-9788

In this block, toner is deposited over the static image on the surface of the photosensitive drum to turn the static image into a visible, toner image. The machine uses
a toner projection method, and its toner is a single-component toner.

F-2-11
step 3:development
In this step, toner is deposited over the static image on the surface of the photosensitive drum.
As shown, the developing cylinder consists of a fixed magnet and a cylinder that rotates around the magnet. The machine's developing assembly is made up of the
developing cylinder, rubber blade, and toner.
The toner is primarily composed of magnetite, and held in place by the force of magnetism. The toner has insulating properties, and is charged to a negative potential
as a result of friction against the rotating cylinder.
The area of the surface of the photosensitive drum exposed to the laser beam has a higher electrical charge than the negatively charged toner; as such, when the area
comes close to the layer of toner (carrying a negative charge), the difference in potential (i.e., between the drum and the cylinder) causes the toner to move and stick
to the surface of the drum, thus turning the static image into a visible image.

2.4.1.5 Transfer Block

0010-9789

This block consists of 2 steps, at the end of which the toner image is moved from the surface of the photosensitive drum to print paper.

step 4:transfer
In this step, a positive charge is applied from the back of print paper to attract toner from the surface of the photosensitive drum.

step 5:separation
In this step, the print paper is removed from the photosensitive drum taking advantage of the rigidity of the paper.
The machine uses a static eliminator to decrease the charge on the back of the print paper, thus reducing the static bonding of the paper and, consequently, facilitating
separation.

2.4.1.6 Fixing Block

0010-9790

The toner image transferred to paper in the transfer block simply remains on the paper owing to the work of static charge and, thus, can become disturbed quite
easily. In this block, the printer paper and the toner on it are subjected to pressure and heat so that the toner will be permanently fused with the fibers of the paper.

step 6:fixing
The machine uses an on-demand method, which requires less heat than other methods. Typically, the method is characterized by a quick start-up, and the heater
need not remain supplied with power during standby (thus a short wait time and less energy consumption).
The potential of the fixing film is lower than that of the pressure roller, reducing the static attraction of the negatively charged toner on the print paper to the fixing
film.

In this block, the residual toner on the surface of the photosensitive drum is scraped off by the cleaning blade and then collected in the waste toner case (photosen-
sitive drum cleaning).
Step 7: Drum cleaning
The cleaning blade scrapes off the leftover toner on the drum surface to be got ready for the next print. The waste toner is kept in the cleaner container.

2.4.2 High-Voltage Control

2.4.2.1 Outline
0010-9795

The high-voltage circuit serves to generate high voltage used to form images, and it consists of the primary charging bias circuit, developing bias circuit, and transfer
charging bias circuit.
The primary charging bias circuit generates DC and AC voltages, and applies a combination of these voltages on the primary charging roller.
This circuit also serves to detect the presence/absence of cartridges.
The developing bias circuit generates DC and AC voltages, and applies a combination of these voltages to the developing cylinder.
All these circuits are controlled by instructions from the CPU (IC401) of the engine controller, and characterized as follows:

2.4.2.2 Generation of the Primary Charging Bias

0010-9796

The primary charging bias (PR1) is used to charge the surface of the photosensitive drum to a uniform negative potential in preparation for the formation of an image.
The bias is generated by 2 signals from the CPU: primary charging DC bias drive signal (PRDCCK), primary charging AC bias drive signal (PRACCK).
The PRDCCK signal is a clock signal used for the generation of a DC bias, and the machine generates the primary charging DC bias based on this signal.
The PRACCK signal, on the other hand, is a clock signal used for the generation of an AC signal, and the machine generates the primary charging AC bias based
on this signal.
The primary charging roller receives a voltage which is a combination of the primary charging AC bias and the primary charging DC bias.
The primary charging DC bias varies in keeping with the developing DC bias according to the tag value and the image density information coming from the video
controller.

2.4.2.3 Generation of the Developing Bias

0010-9797

The developing bias (DEV) is used to attract toner to the static image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum.
The bias is generated based on the developing AC bias drive signal (DVACCK) from the CPU.
The DVACCK signal is a clock signal used to generate an AC bias, and the machine uses the signal to generate the developing AC bias.
The developing DC bias is generated by the developing AC bias from by the developing AC bias generation circuit.
The developing cylinder receives a voltage which is a combination of the developing DC bias and the developing AC bias.
The developing DC bias varies in keeping with the primary charging DC bias according to the tag value and the image density information from the formatter.

2.4.2.4 Generation of the Transfer Charging Bias

0010-9798

The transfer charging bias (TRS) is used to move toner from the surface of the photosensitive drum to print paper.

2-11
 Chapter 2

The bias is generated using 3 signals from the CPU: transfer positive bias drive signal (TRPCK), transfer negative bias drive signal (TRNCK), and transfer output
switchover signal (TRPWM).
The TRPCK signal is a clock signal used to generate a positive bias, and the machine uses the transfer positive bias with reference to this signal. The TRNCK signal
is a clock signal used to generate a negative bias, and the machine generates the transfer negative bias using this signal. The transfer charging roller receives either
a transfer positive bias or a transfer negative bias.
The CPU switches over the value of TRPWM according to the transfer current feedback signal (TRFAD) by way of constant current control. The transfer charging
roller receives 3 biases: cleaning bias, sheet-to-sheet bias, and print bias.
-Cleaning Bias
In the course of a warm-up period or post rotation sequence, this bias is used to move the toner from the transfer charging roller to the photosensitive drum (clean-
ing).
-Sheet-to-Sheet Bias
In continuous mode, this bias is used to prevent adhesion of residual toner (remaining on the photosensitive drum) to the transfer charging roller. A transfer positive
bias is applied to the transfer charging roller.
-Print Bias
As part of printing sequence, this bias is used to move toner from the surface of the photosensitive drum to print paper.
The transfer charging roller receives a transfer positive bias.

2.4.2.5 Generating the Fixing Bias

0010-9801

The fixing bias is used to prevent adhesion of toner to the fixing film, and is the result of division of the primary charging DC bias.
The bias is applied to the fixing film through a brush at the same time as the primary charging bias is applied to the primary charging roller.

2.4.2.6 Detecting the Presence/Absence of a Cartridge

0010-9802

The presence/absence of a cartridge is checked by the CPU with reference to the voltage of the cartridge detection signal (i.e., GRGSNS, which serves as the feed-
back signal of the primary charging AC bias).
When the CPU sends the primary charging AC bias drive signal (PRACCK) and the AC generation circuit of the primary charging bias circuit generates the primary
charging AC bias, the primary charging bias circuit checks the level of voltage of the primary charging voltage applied to the primary charging roller, and sends
the cartridge detection signal (CRGSNS) to the CPU in the form of feedback.
The CPU checks the presence/absence of a cartridge by checking the voltage of the GRGSNS signal generated at the same time as the primary charging AC bias
during a wait period.

2.5 PICKUP AND FEEDING SYSTEM

2.5.1 Overview/Configuration

2.5.1.1 Outline
0010-9821

The pickup/transport system serves to pick up and move print paper, and consists of various rollers.
The machine possesses 2 pickup slots: cassette and manual feeder. It has 2 delivery slots: face-down tray and face-up tray.
The engine controller controls 2 motors and 2 solenoids to drive various rollers.
The paper path is equipped with sensors (lead edge sensor, delivery sensor; duplexing sensor, used only in duplexing mode) to check the arrival and passage of print
paper.
The CPU of the engine controller identifies a jam if print paper does not reach or move past a specific sensor within a specific period of time, and communicates
the fact to the video controller.
In auto duplexing mode, the face-up cover must remain closed, and the face-up detection signal is used to find out if the cover is closed or open.
The presence/absence of paper in the cassette or in the manual feeder is checked by the cassette paper sensor and the manual feeder paper sensor.
The following diagram shows the relationship among the machine's motors, solenoids, and sensors:

2.5.2.2.1 Pickup Delay Jam
0010-9824
The machine is equipped with a retry control mechanism used to execute retry operation to eliminate identification of a pickup delay jam caused by a pickup fault.
If the paper lead edge sensor (PS901) does not detect the lead edge of paper within a specific period of time (T1) after the start of pickup, the CPU executes pickup
operation once if the source of paper is the manual feeder or twice if it is the cassette or an optional machine.
Thereafter, if the paper lead edge sensor (PS901) does not detect the lead edge of print paper within a specific period of time (T1), the CPU will identify the condition
as a pickup delay jam.
In the case of duplexing mode, the CPU will identify a pickup delay jam if the paper lead edge sensor (PS901) does not detect the lead edge of paper about 0.4 sec
after the fixing motor has started to rotate in reverse for re-pickup.

The CPU will identify a door open jam if the door is identified as being open while printing is under way.

Auto Delivery
After arrival of the print command connected to the video controller, if the paper lead edge sensor (PS901) detects print paper before the start of pickup operation,
the CPU will immediately stop the drive to the high-voltage system, laser/scanner, and fixing heater and initiate discharge of print paper.

2.5.3 Cassette Pickup

2.5.3.1 Pickup from the Cassette

0010-9839

The machine picks up sheets of paper from the cassette, making sure no more than a single sheet of paper is picked up at a time.
The presence/absence of paper inside the cassette is checked by the cassette paper sensor.
As a means of preventing multiple feeding of print paper, the machine uses slope separation and pad separation.
The machine uses the following sequence to pick up paper from the cassette:

1.When the print command arrives from the formatter, the engine controller starts to rotate the main motor (M1)
2.When the machine enters an initial rotation ready set (Note), the cassette pickup solenoid (SL2) goes on for about 0.2 sec. As a result, the rotation of the main
motor reaches the cassette pickup roller to rotate the roller.
3.The holding plate is held up by the force of a spring so that the stack of print paper is at a point of pickup. The edge of the print paper is kept flush as it lies against
the inner wall of the cassette. The slope helps facilitate the separation of the 2nd and subsequent sheets of paper (slope separation).
The single sheet of paper that has been picked up is then moved inside of the machine, with the separation pad serving to prevent multiple feeding with the help of
the slope of the cassette wall.

The machine is in an initial rotation ready state when its main motor is rotating, the fixing temperature is at a specific level, and the scanner motor is rotating at a
specific revolution.

2.5.4 Multi-purpose Pickup

2.5.4.1 Pickup from the Manual Feeder

0010-9840

The manual feeder mechanism feeds the sheet of paper placed in the manual feeder slot to the inside of the machine.
The presence/absence of paper placed at the slot is checked by the manual feeder paper sensor.
A separation pad is used to prevent multiple feeding.
The following is the sequence of operation the machine uses to pick up paper:
1.When the print command arrives from the video controller, the engine controller turns on the main motor (M1).
2.When the machine enters an initial rotation ready state, the manual feeder pickup solenoid (SL1) goes on for about 0.14 sec.
3.The rotation of the manual feeder pickup roller moves the print paper into the machine, with the separation pad making sure that no more than a single sheet of
paper is fed inside.

2.5.5 Duplex Feeding

2.6 EXTERNAL AND CONTROLS SYSTEM

2.6.1 Fan

2.6.1.1 Controlling the Fan Motor

0011-0092

The machine drives 2 fan motors in response to instructions from the CPU.
The fan motor is a DC brushless motor with a built-in Hall element, and is constructed as part of the motor drive circuit.
The CPU (IC401) turns on the fixing heater at the start of printing and, at the same time, causes pin No. 25 and pin No. 61 to go High to rotate the fan motor. When
the fan motor reaches a specific revolution, the fan lock detection signal (FANLOCK1, FANLOCK2) goes Low.
The CPU assumes that the fan is rotating normally as long as FANLOCK1 and FANLOCK 2 remain Low. The CPU also rotates the fan motor for about 30 sec
after printing ends and main motor stops; thereafter, it causes the No. 25 pin and the No. 61 pin to go Low to stop the fan motor.

0010-9804
The low-voltage power supply circuit serves to convert AC power from the power outlet into DC power for supply to various loads.
The AC power is supplied to the low-voltage power supply circuit of the engine controller when the power switch (SW101) is turned on.
The AC power is then turned into the following to meet the requirements of the machine: +24VDC, +5DC, +3.3VDC. The +24VDC power is sent to the main motor,
fixing motor, scanner motor, and solenoids as well as the high-voltage power supply circuit, while the +5V power is supplied to the video controller and the +3.3V
power to the sensors and ICs of the video controller and engine controller.
The +24VDC power may be +24V supplied by the low-voltage power circuit at all times or +24U supplied to the high-voltage power supply circuit.

2.6.2.2 Protective Functions

2.6.2.2.1 Protective Mechanisms
0010-9805
The low-voltage power supply circuit is equipped with an overcurrent protective mechanism and an over-voltage protective mechanism used to automatically shut
off the output voltage to protect damage to the power supply circuit in the event of an error voltage (e.g., overcurrent caused by a short-circuit in a load).
If the overcurrent protective mechanisms or the over-voltage protective mechanism has gone on and, as a result, the DC voltage for the low-voltage power supply
circuit has stopped, turn off the power, remove the cause of the fault, and then turn the power back on. (Be sure to wait for 2 min or more before turning the power
back on.)
The 24V generation circuit is directly monitored by the controller IC (IC201) to detect overcurrent and over-voltage; the 3.3V generation circuit and the 5V gener-
ation circuit, on the other hand, are equipped with a built-in overcurrent detection circuit.
In the circuit are found fuse 1 (FU101) and fuse 2 (FU102), which will cut off the power (FU101 blowing) in response to an overcurrent in the AC line.

2.8 FIXING UNIT/DELIVERY SYSTEM

2.8.1 Overview/Configuration

2.8.1.1 Outline
0010-9901

The fixing/delivery system consists of the fixing film unit, pressure roller, and delivery roller.
The following is the sequence of operation:
1. When the print command arrives from the video controller, the engine controller turns on the main motor. The drive of the motor is used to rotate the pressure
roller at a speed 1/5 of normal speed (initial drive; Note). In about 0.7 sec, the fixing motor rotates; the source of the drive for the fixing roller is switched from the
main motor to the fixing motor linked by a one-way clutch. Thereafter, the fixing motor rotates the pressure roller and the delivery roller at normal speeds.
2. The print paper arriving from the pickup/transport system is moved through the fixing film unit and the pressure roller for fusion of toner.
3. The print paper discharged by the fixing assembly turns on the delivery sensor (SR2) as it reaches the face-down tray or the face-up tray.

The machine's fixing motor does not possess enough torque to execute initial drive of the pressure motor, hence the use of the main motor for initial drive and
switching to the fixing motor thereafter (i.e., when the roller starts constant rotation).

The surface of the fixing heater is monitored by the main thermistor (TH1) and the sub thermistor (TH2) found in the fixing heater.
A rise in the surface temperature will cause the resistance of the respective thermistor to drop, causing the voltage of the fixing heater temperature detection signal

(FSRTH1) of the main thermistor to decrease. The voltage of the fixing heater temperature detection signal (FSRTH2) of the sub thermistor, on the other hand, will
increase.
The CPU (IC401) of the engine controller monitors the voltages of the FSRTH1 and FSRTH2 signals, and generates the fixing heater drive signal (FSRD1) to suit
the changes in the voltage, turning on/off the phototriac coupler (SSR101) so that the temperature of the fixing heater remains at a specific level.

The machine uses the following 4 control mechanisms to suit the temperature of the fixing heater and the type of paper being used:
1. start-up temperature control, used from when the print command reaches the engine controller to when the fixing heater reaches the target temperature.
2. paper passage temperature control, used during printing so that the fixing heater is identical to the target temperature.
The target temperature differs depending on the selected fixing mode, and may be any of 5 types.
The following shows the relationship between 'paper type' setting (driver setting) and the paper size, print count, and the like.
T-2-7

'paper type' selected using the driver Fixing target temperature

plain paper 215 to 210 deg C
plain paper L 205 to 210 deg C
heavy paper 1 220 to 225 deg C
heavy paper 2 215 to 225 deg C
special setting A 185 deg C
3. sheet-to-sheet temperature control, used in continuous printing between sheets to prevent overheating of the fixing film by reducing the target temperature of the
fixing heater.
4. down-sequence, used in continuous mode to prevent overheating of the edges of the heater.

In the case of continuous printing, the CPU of the engine controller monitors the reading of the sub thermistor and checks the length of the paper; as a result, if
specific conditions exist, it starts long-narrow paper mode (Note) or small-size paper mode.
When a shift to the mode occurs, the CPU forces the printing speed to decrease so that the distance between sheets will increase in continuous printing. The sensi-
tivity of the thermistor mounted in the middle of the fixing heater will increase to check for overheating of the edges of the heater.
The following shows the conditions that initiate the mode and its relationship to printing speed:
T-2-8

Down-sequence mode Paper length Sub thermistor Printing speed (ppm)

temperature (deg
C)
Small-size paper mode 270 mm or less 250 deg C or more 18>12>8>6>5>4
Long-narrow paper mode 270 mm or more 260 deg C or more 2

The term "long-narrow sheet" refers to a sheet that is narrow in width and long in length.

2.8.2.2 Protective Functions

2.8.2.2.1 Protective Mechanisms
0011-0085
The machine is equipped with mechanisms that detect overheating of the fixing assembly and cut off power to the heater.
1.protective function by the CPU
2.protective function by the fixing heater safety circuit
3.protective function by a thermistor
These mechanisms are as follows:
1. Protective Function by the CPU
The CPU monitors the voltage of the main thermistor and the sub thermistor at all times, cutting off the power to the fixing heater when the fixing temperature
exceeds a specific level.
If the temperature of the fixing heater increases abnormally and the voltage of the main thermistor drops to about 0.73 V or less (equivalent of 240 deg C) or that
of the sub thermistor is about 2.77 V or more (equivalent of 320 deg C), the CPU will cause the fixing heater drive signal (FSRD1) to go Low to turn off the pho-
totriac coupler (SSR101), thus cutting off the power to the fixing heater.
2. Protective Mechanism by the Fixing Heater Safety Circuit
The circuit monitors the voltage of the main thermistor and the sub thermistor at all times. If the fixing temperature increases in excess of a specific level, it will
cut the power to the fixing heater regardless of the instructions for the CPU.
If the temperature of the fixing heater rises abnormally and the voltage of the sub thermistor is about 2.84 V or more (equivalent of 316 deg C), the output of the
comparator (IC503) will go Low to turn off the transistor (Q105), thus turning off the relay (RL101) regardless of the relay drive signal (RLYD) from the CPU and
ultimately turning off the power to the fixing heater.
Likewise, if the temperature of the fixing heater increases abnormally and the voltage of the sub thermistor is about 2.84 V or more (equivalent of 316 deg C), the
output of the comparator (IC2202) will go Low to turn off the transistor (Q106), turning off the relay (RL101) regardless of the relay drive signal (RLYD) from the
CPU and ultimately cutting off the power to the fixing heater.
3. Protective Mechanism by a Thermal Switch
If the temperature of the fixing heater rises abnormally and the temperature of the thermal switch exceeds about 250 deg C, the contact of the thermal switch opens
to cut off the power to the fixing heater.
2.8.2.2.2 Error Detection
0011-0086
The CPU will identify a fault in the fixing assembly in response to any of the conditions from 1. to 8., and turn off the relay (RL101) to cut off the power to the
heater; at the same time, it will communicate the fact to the video controller:
1. the reading of the main thermistor does not reach 50 deg C within about 1.5 sec after temperature control starts.
2. the reading of the main thermistor is 240 deg C or more continuously for 1 sec.
3. while normal temperature control is under way, the reading of the main thermistor is 100 deg C or less; while sheet-to-sheet temperature control is under way,
the reading of the main thermistor is 55 deg C or less continuously for about 1.2 sec.
4. the following condition has lasted continuously for 30 sec: the target temperature is 100 deg C or more and, in addition, the difference between the target tem-
perature and the actual temperature is 50 deg C or more.
5. at time of start-up, a temperature -5 deg C from the target temperature is not reached for 75 sec from the activation of the heater.
6. the reading of the sub thermistor is 320 deg C or more continuously for about 2.6 sec.
7. the reading of the main thermistor exceeds 50 deg C and, thereafter, the reading of the sub thermistor is less than 35 deg C continuously for 1 sec.
8. the reading of the main thermistor exceeds 50 deg C and, thereafter, the reading of the main thermistor is 20 deg C or less continuously for 300 msec.
