!IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the copier and peripherals,
make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the copier and easily accessible.
3. Note that some components of the copier and the paper tray unit are
supplied with electrical voltage even if the main power switch is turned off.
4. If a job has started before the copier completes the warm-up or initializing
period, keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical components
because the starts making copies as soon as the warm-up period is
completed.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while
the copier is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with
your bare hands.
HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS

Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes by
accident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops
or flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.
OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS

The copier and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a customer
service representative who has completed the training course on those models.
SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL

1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly
when exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in
accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
LASER SAFETY
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of
laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired
in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is
replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not
repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all
chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of
the optical subsystem is required.
!WARNING
Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
!WARNING FOR LASER UNIT

WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the
procedures in the Laser Unit section. Laser beams can
seriously damage your eyes.

3. REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT

3.1 GENERAL CAUTIONS
Do not turn off the main switch while any of the electrical components are active.
Doing so may result in damage to units (such as the PCU) as they are pulled out or
replaced.
3.1.1 PCU (PHOTOCONDUCTOR UNIT)

The PCU consists of the OPC drum, charge roller, development unit, and cleaning
Replacement
components. Observe the following precautions when handling the PCU.
Adjustment
1. Never touch the drum surface with bare hands. If the drum surface is dirty or if
you have accidentally touched it, wipe it with a dry cloth, or clean it with wet
cotton and then wipe it dry with a cloth.
2. Never use alcohol to clean the drum. Alcohol will dissolve the drum surface.
3. Store the PCU in a cool dry place.
4. Do not expose the drum to corrosive gases (ammonia, etc.).
5. Do not shake a used PCU, as this may cause toner and developer to spill out.
6. Dispose of used PCU components in accordance with local regulations.
3.1.2 TRANSFER ROLLER

1. Never touch the surface of the transfer roller with bare hands.
2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.
3.1.3 SCANNER UNIT

1. Use alcohol or glass cleaner to clean the exposure and scanning glass. This
will reduce the static charge on the glass.
2. Use a blower brush or a water-moistened cotton pad to clean the mirrors and
lenses.
3. Take care not to bend or crease the exposure lamp’s ribbon cable.
4. Do not disassemble the lens unit. Doing so will throw the lens and copy image
out of focus.
5. Do not turn any of the CCD positioning screws. Doing so will throw the CCD out
of position.
3-1
GENERAL CAUTIONS 1 December, 2003
3.1.4 LASER UNIT

1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit.
Doing so will throw the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit. These are adjusted at the
factory.
3. The polygonal mirror and F-theta lens are very sensitive to dust.
4. Do not touch the toner shield glass or the surface of the polygonal mirror with
bare hands.
3.1.5 FUSING UNIT

1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot
roller and that the roller can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and their tension
springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch
the inner surface of the hot roller.
3.1.6 PAPER FEED

1. Do not touch the surface of the paper feed rollers.
2. To avoid misfeeds, the side and end fences in each paper tray must be
positioned correctly so as to align with the actual paper size.
3.1.7 IMPORTANT
1. After installing a new PCU, you must run SP2-214 to initialize the TD sensor.
After starting initialization, be sure to wait for it to reach completion (wait for the
motor to stop) before re-opening the front cover or turning off the main switch.
2. If the optional tray heater or optics anti-condensation heater is installed, keep
the copier's power cord plugged in even while the main switch is off, so that the
heater(s) remain energized.

Sensor Positions for China Model (8K/16K)

This procedure is for China models only. You rearrange the positions of the original
width and length sensors for the copier to detect the following original sizes:
• 8K SEF (270 x 390 mm)
• 16K SEF (195 x 270 mm)
• 16K LEF (270 x 195 mm)
After you have rearranged the positions, Original Length Sensors Width Sensors
the sensors work as listed in the table. Size L1 L2 W1 W2

pass tray, or (b) if waste toner is re-attracted from the drum (which can occur when
using transparencies). ☛ 6.12.2
2301 3 Duplex [–2 = –4 mA / –1 = –2 mA / 0 = 0 mA / 1 = 2 mA / 2
= +4 mA]
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when carrying out a duplex job. Use
this SP if there is poor image transfer on the rear side of duplex copies (☛ 6.12.2).
2301 4 Cleaning [–10 ~ 0 / –1 / 1 mA/step]
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller for roller cleaning. Increase the
current if toner remains on the roller after cleaning. (Remaining toner may cause
dirty background on the rear side.) (☛ 6.12.2)
2802 Forced Developer Churning

2802 1 Initializes the developer and checks the TD sensor output (Vt). The machine mixes
the developer for 2 minutes while reading and displaying the Vt value. The machine
does not initialize the TD sensor output. If the machine has not been used for a long
period of time, prints may have a dirty background. In this case, use this SP mode
to mix the developer. The message "Completed" is displayed when the program
ends normally.

2906* Tailing Correction

2906 1 Shift value [0.0 ~ 1.0 / 0.0 / 0.1 mm/step]
Shifts the image writing position in intervals specified by SP2-906-2. When making
many copies of an original that contains vertical lines (such as in tables), the paper
may not separate correctly. This can cause tailing images (ghosts of the vertical
lines continuing past the bottom of the table). This SP can be used to prevent this.
2906 2 Interval [1 ~ 10 / 1 / 1 page/step]
Changes the interval for the image shift specified by SP2-906-1.
2908 Forced Toner Supply

2908 1 Forces the toner bottle to supply toner to the toner supply unit. Press “1” to start.
The machine continues to supply toner until the toner concentration in the
development unit reaches the standard level, or for up to 2 minutes (whichever
comes first).
2915* Polygon Mirror Motor Idling Time

2915 1 [0 = None / 1 = 15 s / 2 = 25 s]
Selects the polygon mirror motor idling time. To increase the speed of the first copy,
the mirror motor begins idling when the user sets an original, touches a key, or
opens the platen cover or DF. If this setting is left at the default (15 s), the motor will
stop if the user does nothing for 15s. If the setting is “0”, the motor will not switch off
during standby. (But note that regardless of the setting, the motor will switch off
when the machine enters energy saver mode.)
2921* Toner Supply Mode

2921 1 [0 = Sensor 1 / 1 = Sensor 2 (DFU) / 2 = Fixed 1 (DFU) / 3 = Fixed 2]
Selects the toner supply mode. Under normal conditions this should be set to “0”.
You can temporarily change this to “3” if the TD sensor is defective. Do not set to
“1” or “2”, as these are for design use only (☛ 6.9.6).
2922* Toner Supply Time

2922 1 [0.1 ~ 5.0 / 0.4 / 0.1 s/step]
Adjusts the toner supply motor ON time for Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 toner supply
mode. Accordingly, this setting is effective only if SP2-921 is set to “0” or “1”
Raising this value increases the toner supply motor ON time. Set to a high value if
the user tends to make many copies having high proportions of solid black image
areas (☛ 6.9.6).
2923* Toner Recovery Time

2923 1 [3 ~ 60 / 30 / 1 s/step]
Adjusts the toner supply motor ON time used during toner recovery from Toner
Near End or Toner End. This setting is effective only if SP2-921 is set to “0” Since
toner recovery is carried out in 3-second cycles, the input value should be a
multiple of 3 (3, 6, 9...). ☛ 6.9.6
5-8
2925* Toner Supply Rate

2925 1 Adjusts the toner supply time for fixed toner supply mode. This setting is effective
only if SP2-921 is set to “2” or “3”.[0 ~ 7 / 0]t = 200ms, and settings are as follows
0=t 4 = 12t
1 = 2t 5 = 16t
2 = 4t 6 = on continuously
3 = 8t 7=0s
areas (☛ 6.9.6).
2926* Standard Vt
2926 1 [0.00 ~ 5.00 / 2.50 / 0.01 V/step] DFU
Adjusts Vts (the Vt value for new developer). The TD sensor output is adjusted to
this value during the TD sensor initial setting process]. This SP is effective only
when SP2-921 is “0”, “1”, or “2”.
2927* ID Sensor Control

2927 1 [0 = No / 1 = Yes]
Selects whether the ID sensor is or is not used for toner density control. This value
should normally be left at “1”. If the value is “0”, dirty background may occur after
long periods of non-use.
Service
Tables
2928 Toner End Clear
2928 1 Clears the toner end condition without adding new toner. The following are cleared:
• Toner end indicator (goes out)·
• Toner near-end counter
• Toner near-end level
This function should generally not be used. If you clear the toner end condition
without adding new toner, there is a risk that the drum may eventually begin to
attract carrier after many more copies are made and toner runs out. This attracted
carrier may damage the drum.
2929* Vref Limits

Adjust the upper or lower Vref limit.
2929 1 Upper [0.50 ~ 3.50 / 3.20 / 0.01V/step] DFU

2994* ID Sensor Detection Temperature [30 ~ 90 / 30 / 1 °C/step]

2994 1 While the machine is recovering from an energy saver mode, or while the machine
starts, the controller ignores the ID-sensor signals if the fusing temperature is at the
specified value or higher.
5-9
2996* Transfer Roller Cleaning

2996 1 Selects whether the transfer roller is cleaned before each copy job. Set this to “1” if
dirty background is appearing on the reverse side of the first page of copy jobs.
Note that this will increase the time required to generate the first copy. If the setting
is “0”, the transfer roller is never cleaned (☛ 6.12.3).
2998* Main Scan Magnification [–0.5 ~ +0.5 / 0.0 / 0.1%/step]

2998 1 Adjusts the magnification along the main scan direction, for all print modes (copy,

4303* APS Small Size Original [0 = No (not detected) / 1 = Yes (A5/HLT LEF)]
4303 1 Selects whether or not the copier will consider the original to be A5/HLT LEF when
the APS sensors cannot detect its size. If “Yes” is selected, paper sizes that cannot
be detected by the APS sensors are regarded as A5/HLT LEF. If “No" is selected,
“Cannot detect original size” will be displayed.
4305* APS Priority [0 = Normal / 1 = A4/LT / 2 = 8K/16K]

4305 1 1. A4/LT
• North America model: When the ASP detects the LT size, the controller interprets
it as the A4 size.
• Other models: When the ASP detects the A4 size, the controller interprets it as
the LT size.
2. 8K/16K (for the China model only)
• When the ASP detects the A3/B4 SEF, the controller interprets it as the 8K SEF.
• When the ASP detects the B5/A4 SEF, the controller interprets it as the 16K SEF.
• When the ASP detects the B5/A4 LEF, the controller interprets it as the 16K LEF.
The Europe model interprets undetected original sizes as A5 LEF under the
following conditions:
i. SP4-303-001 is "Yes," and
ii. SP4-305-001 is "Normal"
The Europe model interprets undetected original sizes as LT SEF under the

4901 10 White Number of Attempt [0 ∼ 20 / 0 / 1/step]

Displays how many times the white-level adjustment is retried. The value does not
include the first execution of the white adjustment. For example, if the value is "2",
this indicates that the white-level adjustment has been executed three times. The
white-level adjustment can be executed 20 times or less. Therefore, if the value is
"20," this indicates that the white-level adjustment has ended abnormally (as
described, the value "20" does not include the first execution). If the white-level
adjustment is unsuccessful, the machine uses the result of the latest, successful
white-level adjustment.

2201* Development Bias Adjustment

2201 1 Printing [–1500 ~ –200 / –650 / 1 V/step]
Adjusts the voltage applied to the development roller when printing. This can be
adjusted as a temporary measure if faint copies are being produced due to an aging
drum.
2201 2 ID sensor pattern [–2 = LL (220 V) / -1 = L (260 V) / 0 = N (300 V) / 1 =
H (340 V) / 2 = HH (380 V)]
Adjusts the voltage applied to the development roller when generating the ID
sensor pattern. The actual voltage applied is this setting plus the value of SP2-201-
1. The setting affects ID sensor pattern density, which in turn affects the toner
supply.
2213* Outputs after Near End

2213 1 [0 = 50 pages / 1 = 20 pages]
Sets the number of copy/print/fax pages that can be made after toner near-end has
been detected. Reduce the number of pages if the user normally makes copies with
a high image ratio.

= +4 mA]
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when feeding from a paper tray.
Use a high setting if the user normally feeds relatively thick paper (within spec) from
a paper tray (☛ 6.12.2).
2301 2 Thick/Special paper [–2 = –4 mA / –1 = –2 mA / 0 = 0 mA / 1 = 2 mA / 2
= +4 mA]
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when feeding from the by-pass tray.
Use a high setting (a) if the user normally feeds relatively thick paper from the by-
pass tray, or (b) if waste toner is re-attracted from the drum (which can occur when
using transparencies). ☛ 6.12.2
2301 3 Duplex [–2 = –4 mA / –1 = –2 mA / 0 = 0 mA / 1 = 2 mA / 2
= +4 mA]
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when carrying out a duplex job. Use
this SP if there is poor image transfer on the rear side of duplex copies (☛ 6.12.2).
2301 4 Cleaning [–10 ~ 0 / –1 / 1 mA/step]
Service
Tables
Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller for roller cleaning. Increase the
current if toner remains on the roller after cleaning. (Remaining toner may cause
dirty background on the rear side.) (☛ 6.12.2)
2802 Forced Developer Churning

2802 1 Initializes the developer and checks the TD sensor output (Vt). The machine mixes
the developer for 2 minutes while reading and displaying the Vt value. The machine
does not initialize the TD sensor output. If the machine has not been used for a long
period of time, prints may have a dirty background. In this case, use this SP mode
to mix the developer. The message "Completed" is displayed when the program
ends normally.
2906* Tailing Correction

2906 1 Shift value [0.0 ~ 1.0 / 0.0 / 0.1 mm/step]
Shifts the image writing position in intervals specified by SP2-906-2. When making
many copies of an original that contains vertical lines (such as in tables), the paper
may not separate correctly. This can cause tailing images (ghosts of the vertical
lines continuing past the bottom of the table). This SP can be used to prevent this.
2906 2 Interval [1 ~ 10 / 1 / 1 page/step]
Changes the interval for the image shift specified by SP2-906-1.
5-31
2908 Forced Toner Supply

2908 1 Forces the toner bottle to supply toner to the toner supply unit. Press “1” to start.
The machine continues to supply toner until the toner concentration in the
development unit reaches the standard level, or for up to 2 minutes (whichever
comes first).
2915* Polygon Mirror Motor Idling Time

2915 1 [0 = None / 1 = 15 s / 2 = 25 s]
Selects the polygon mirror motor idling time. To increase the speed of the first copy,
the mirror motor begins idling when the user sets an original, touches a key, or
opens the platen cover or DF. If this setting is left at the default (15 s), the motor will
stop if the user does nothing for 15s. If the setting is “0”, the motor will not switch off
during standby. (But note that regardless of the setting, the motor will switch off
when the machine enters energy saver mode.)
2921* Toner Supply Mode

2921 1 [0 = Sensor 1 / 1 = Sensor 2 (DFU) / 2 = Fixed 1 (DFU) / 3 = Fixed 2]
Selects the toner supply mode. Under normal conditions this should be set to “0”.
You can temporarily change this to “3” if the TD sensor is defective. Do not set to
“1” or “2”, as these are for design use only (☛ 6.9.6).
2922* Toner Supply Time

2922 1 [0.1 ~ 5.0 / 0.4 / 0.1 s/step]
Adjusts the toner supply motor ON time for Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 toner supply
mode. Accordingly, this setting is effective only if SP2-921 is set to “0” or “1”
areas (☛ 6.9.6).
2923* Toner Recovery Time

2923 1 [3 ~ 60 / 30 / 1 s/step]
Adjusts the toner supply motor ON time used during toner recovery from Toner
Near End or Toner End. This setting is effective only if SP2-921 is set to “0” Since
toner recovery is carried out in 3-second cycles, the input value should be a
multiple of 3 (3, 6, 9...). ☛ 6.9.6
2925* Toner Supply Rate

2925 1 Adjusts the toner supply time for fixed toner supply mode. This setting is effective
only if SP2-921 is set to “2” or “3”.[0 ~ 7 / 0]t = 200ms, and settings are as follows
0=t 4 = 12t
1 = 2t 5 = 16t
2 = 4t 6 = on continuously
3 = 8t 7=0s
areas (☛ 6.9.6).
5-32
2926* Standard Vt
2926 1 [0.00 ~ 5.00 / 2.50 / 0.01 V/step] DFU
Adjusts Vts (the Vt value for new developer). The TD sensor output is adjusted to
this value during the TD sensor initial setting process]. This SP is effective only
when SP2-921 is “0”, “1”, or “2”.
2927* ID Sensor Control

2927 1 [0 = No / 1 = Yes]
Selects whether the ID sensor is or is not used for toner density control. This value
should normally be left at “1”. If the value is “0”, dirty background may occur after
long periods of non-use.
2928 Toner End Clear

2928 1 Clears the toner end condition without adding new toner. The following are cleared:
• Toner end indicator (goes out)·
• Toner near-end counter
• Toner near-end level
This function should generally not be used. If you clear the toner end condition
without adding new toner, there is a risk that the drum may eventually begin to
attract carrier after many more copies are made and toner runs out. This attracted
carrier may damage the drum.
2929* Vref Limits
Service
Tables
Adjust the upper or lower Vref limit.
2929 1 Upper [0.50 ~ 3.50 / 3.20 / 0.01V/step] DFU
2929 2 Lower [0.50 ~ 3.50 / 0.70 / 0.01V/step] DFU
2994* ID Sensor Detection Temperature [30 ~ 90 / 30 / 1 °C/step]

2994 1 While the machine is recovering from an energy saver mode, or while the machine
starts, the controller ignores the ID-sensor signals if the fusing temperature is at the
specified value or higher.
2996* Transfer Roller Cleaning

2996 1 Selects whether the transfer roller is cleaned before each copy job. Set this to “1” if
dirty background is appearing on the reverse side of the first page of copy jobs.
Note that this will increase the time required to generate the first copy. If the setting

5857 17 Make SD Debug File

Makes a 4-MB file on the SD to save logs. The file stores the contents of key
number 2225 of SCS (for example, the information of NV usage in SCS). A file is
made in the SD when the first log is saved in the SD even if you do not execute this
SP. This processing, however, takes a long time; the user may turn the main switch
off and on before completion (the user see no message that indicates the
completion of the logging when logs are made on the occurrence of an event). The
logging takes a shorter time if you have made a log file beforehand. If you try to
make a log file on the SD where another log file has been already made, the
contents of key number 2225 is added to the log file in the SD card. In a case like
this, a new log file is not made. To make a new log file to supersede an old log file,
you must execute SP5-857-012 before executing this SP.

5.1.5 ID SENSOR ERROR ANALYSIS (SP2-221)

The image quality may become very bad when the ID sensor does not operate
properly. However, there is no such SC code that indicates ID-sensor malfunction;
instead, SP2-221 shows you some information on the ID sensor. Check this
information when the image quality is not very good.
The table lists the information shown with SP2-221 (ID Sensor Error Analysis).
SP Error condition Possible cause Remarks

SP2-221-1 Vsg Vsg < 2.5V or • ID sensor defective

Reading the Data

Paper Size : 11000000 81/2x13 ) Paper Size : 00110000 A4 *
DF Open : 1 DF Open : 0
Example 1 Example 2
Example 1 indicates that the paper size and its orientation is "81/2 x 13 SEF," and
that the document feeder (or platen cover) is open. Example 2 indicates that the
paper size and its orientation is "A4 LEF," and that the document feeder (or platen
Service
Tables
cover) is closed.
The "Paper Size" data starts with eight digits. The first digit indicates the output of
L2; the second digit, L1; the third digit, W2; and the fourth digit, W1. The other four
digits (from the fifth through the eighth) are always "0000." In Example 1, the APS
sensors L2 and L1 detect paper (W2 and W1 do not). In Example 2, APS sensors
W2 and W1 detect paper (L2 and L1 do not). The paper size and its orientation is
based on the outputs of these four APS sensors.
The "DF Open" data shows "1" or "0," [A]

indicating if the document feeder (or
platen cover) is open or closed
respectively. The data is based on the
output of the platen cover sensor [A].

5.1.7 MEMORY CLEAR

Basic Machine and MFP Machine
The basic machine (the machine without the optional controller box) stores all the
data in the NVRAM on the BICU. The data is cleared by SP5-801-002 (for
exceptions, see "Exceptions").
The MFP machine (the machine with the optional controller box) stores the engine
data in the NVRAM on the BICU, and stores the other data in the NVRAM on the
optional controller. To distinguish between the engine data and the other data, see
SP5-801-003 through 015. This service program (SP5-801) handles the controller
data. Any data that is not handled by SP5-801 is the engine data. The data in the
BICU NVRAM (engine data) is cleared by SP5-998-001 while the data in the
controller NVRAM (controller data) is cleared by SP5-801-xxx (for exceptions, see
"Exceptions").

5.1.10 SERIAL NUMBER INPUT (SP5-811)

Specifying Characters
SP5-811-001 specifies the serial number. For the basic machine (the machine
without the optional controller), you use the numeric keypad. For the MFP machine
(the machine with the optional controller), you use the numeric keypad and the
optional operation panel.
BASIC MACHINE
A serial number consists of 11 characters. You can change each character by
pressing one of the first 11 keys on the numeric keypad (#, +, ,, ... -, #,
$). For example, when you press the # key, the first character of the serial
number changes as follows: 0 → 1 → 2 → ... → 8 → 9 → A → B → ... → X → Y
Service
→ Z. When you press the + key, the second character changes likewise.
Tables
You can specify a digit ("0" to "9") or a capital letter ("A" to "Z") for the first four
characters of a serial number, and you can specify a digit in the other seven
characters (not capital letters).
MFP MACHINE
You use the numeric keypad to type numbers. In addition, you use the optional
operation panel to type other characters. When you press the "ABC" key, the
letter changes as follows: A → B → C. To input the same letter two times, for
example "AA," you press the "ABC" key, the "Space" key, and the "ABC" key. To
switch between uppercase letters and lowercase letters, press the "Shift" key.
Serial Number and NVRAM

FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR MFP MACHINES 1 December, 2003
5.2 FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR MFP

MACHINES
This section (5.2) illustrates how to update the firmware of the MFP machine (the
machine with the optional controller box). To update the firmware of the basic
machine (the machine without the optional controller box), see section 5.1.12.
To update the firmware for the MFP machine, you must have the new version of
the firmware downloaded onto an SD (Secure Digital) Card. The SD Card is
inserted into the lower slot on the right side of the controller box, viewed from the
back of the machine.
5.2.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN…

An SD card is a precision device, so always observe the following precautions
when handling SD cards:
• Always switch the machine off before inserting an SD card. Never insert the SD
card into the slot with the power on.
• After the power has been switched on, never remove the SD card from the
service slot.
• Never switch the machine off while the firmware is downloading from the SD
card.
• Store SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed high temperature,
high humidity, or exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always handle SD cards with care to avoid bending or scratching them. Never
drop an SD card or expose it to other shock or vibration.
Keep the following points in mind while you are using the firmware update
software:
• “Upload” means to send data from the machine to the SD card, and “download”
means to send data from the SD card to the machine.
• To select an item on the LCD, touch the appropriate button on the soft touch-
screen of the LCD, or press the appropriate number key on the 10-key pad of the
operation panel. For example, “Exit (0)” displayed on the screen means you can
touch the Exit button on the screen, or press the $ button on the operation
panel of the copier.
• Before starting the firmware update procedure, always make sure that the
machine is disconnected from the network to prevent a print job for arriving while
the firmware update is in progress.

1. EXPOSURE
A xenon lamp exposes the original. Light reflected from the original passes to the
CCD, where it is converted into an analog data signal. This data is converted to a
digital signal, processed and stored in the memory. At the time of printing, the data
is retrieved and sent to the laser diode.
2. DRUM CHARGE
In the dark, the charge roller gives a negative charge to the organic photo-
conductive (OPC) drum. The charge remains on the surface of the drum because
the OPC layer has a high electrical resistance in the dark.
6-7
COPY PROCESS OVERVIEW 1 December, 2003
3. LASER EXPOSURE
The processed data scanned from the original is retrieved from the memory and
transferred to the drum by a laser beam, which forms an electrical latent image on
the drum surface. The amount of charge remaining as a latent image on the drum
depends on the laser beam intensity, which is controlled by the BICU board.
4. DEVELOPMENT
The magnetic developer brush on the development roller comes in contact with the
latent image on the drum surface. Toner particles are electrostatically attached to
the areas of the drum surface where the laser reduced the negative charge on the
drum.
5. ID SENSOR
The laser forms a sensor pattern on the drum surface. The ID sensor measures the
reflectivity of the pattern. The output signal is one of the factors used for toner
supply control. Also, the ID sensor measures the reflectivity of the drum surface.
The output signal is used for charge roller voltage control.
6. IMAGE TRANSFER
Paper is fed to the area between the drum surface and the transfer roller at the
proper time for aligning the copy paper and the developed image on the drum
surface. Then, the transfer roller applies a high positive charge to the reverse side
of the paper. This positive charge pulls the toner particles from the drum surface
onto the paper. At the same time, the paper is electrostatically attracted to the
transfer roller.
7. PAPER SEPARATION
Paper separates from the drum as a result of the electrostatic attraction between
the paper and the transfer roller. The discharge plate (grounded) helps separate
the paper from the drum.
8. CLEANING
The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum surface after the
image transfers to the paper.
9. QUENCHING
The light from the quenching lamp electrically neutralizes the charge on the drum
surface.

A stepper motor drives the 1st and 2nd scanners [A, B]. The 1st scanner is driven
by the scanner drive motor [C], drive gear through the timing belt [D], scanner drive
pulley [E], scanner drive shaft [F], and two timing belts [G]. The 2nd scanner is
driven through the 1st scanner and two timing belts [H].
- Book mode -
The BICU controls and operates the scanner drive motor. In full size mode, the 1st
scanner speed is 100 mm/s during scanning. The 2nd scanner speed is half that of
the 1st scanner.
In reduction or enlargement mode, the scanning speed depends on the
magnification ratio. The returning speed is always the same, whether in full size or
magnification mode. The image length change in the sub scan direction is done by
changing the scanner drive motor speed, and in the main scan direction it is done
by image processing on the BICU board.
Magnification in the sub-scan direction can be adjusted by changing the scanner
drive motor speed using SP4-008. Magnification in the main scan direction can be
adjusted using SP4-009.
- ADF mode -
The scanners are always kept at their home position (the scanner H.P. sensor [I]
detects the 1st scanner) to scan the original. The ADF motor feeds the original
through the ADF. In reduction/enlargement mode, the image length change in the
sub-scan direction is done by changing the ADF motor speed. Magnification in the
main scan direction is done in the BICU board, like for book mode.
Magnification in the sub-scan direction can be adjusted by changing the ADF motor
speed using SP6-006-005. In the main scan direction, it can be adjusted with SP4-
009, like for book mode.

always sent to the CPU. However, the CPU checks the data only when the platen
cover sensor [C] is activated. This is when the platen is positioned about 15 cm
above the exposure glass, for example while it is being closed. The CPU can
recognize the original size from the combination of on/off signals from the APS
sensors.
If the copy is made with the platen fully open, the CPU decides the original size
from the sensor outputs when the Start key is pressed.

The above table shows the outputs of the sensors for each original size. This
original size detection method eliminates the necessity for a pre-scan and
increases the machine's productivity.
For other combinations, “Cannot Detect Original Size” will be indicated on the
operation panel display (if SP4-303 is kept at the default setting).
However, if the by-pass feeder is used, note that the machine assumes that the
copy paper is short-edge first. For example, if A4 paper is placed long-edge first on
the by-pass tray, the machine assumes it is A3 paper and scans the full A3 area for
the first copy of each page of the original, disregarding the original size sensors.
However, for each page, the data signal to the laser diode is stopped to match the
copy paper length detected by the registration sensor. This means that copy time
for the first page may be slower (because of the longer time required for scanning),
but it will be normal for the rest of the job.
Original size detection using the ADF is described in the manual for the ADF.

The CCD converts the light reflected from the original into an analog signal. The
CCD line has 7,400 pixels and the resolution is 600 dpi (23.6 lines/mm).
The CCD has two output lines, for odd and even pixels, to the analog processing
circuit. The analog processing circuit performs the following operations on the
signals from the CCD:
1. Z/C (Zero Clamp):

Adjusts the black level reference for even pixels to match the odd pixels.
2. Signal Amplification:
The analog signal is amplified by operational amplifiers.
After the above processing, the analog signals are converted to 8-bit signals by the
A/D converter. Each pixel will be assigned a value on a scale of 256 grades. Then,
the digitized image data goes to the BICU board.

Original Modes
The machine has 10 original modes. There are two text modes, three photo modes,
and five “special” modes.
The original mode key on the operation panel has two settings, text and photo.
With the default settings, the machine uses “Normal Text (Text 1)” when the Text
indicator is lit, and uses “Photo Priority (Photo 1)” when the Photo indicator is lit.
The customer can allocate different modes to the Text and Photo indicators with
User Tools – Copier Features – Image Adjustment. Note that the Text indicator
does not have to be allocated to a Text mode and the Photo key does not have to
be allocated to a Photo mode. For example, the Text indicator can be allocated to
Photo 3, and the Photo indicator can be allocated to Special 4.
If the user wishes to customize one of the original modes, the technician can
change the settings using SP4-922 to SP4-942. Refer to “SP Modes for Each
Image Processing Step”. However, only one of the original modes can be
customized at any one time.
SP Modes for Each Image Processing Step

The table on the next page shows which SP modes are used for each step of
image processing.
• 4-921: Selects which original mode the settings from SP4-922 to SP4-932
will be applied to.
• 4-922: Selects the scanner γ curve. You can select either a curve for text-
based originals (brings out text) or a curve for photo originals (better
distinctions between shades of dark colors).
• 4-923: Selects the central notch position for the ID adjustment LEDs.
• 4-926: Adjusts the texture removal level (used with error diffusion).
• 4-927: Adjusts the line width.
• 4-928: Selects the dot erase level.
• 4-929: Converts white to black, and black to white
• 4-930: Adjusts the clarity of line images and the edges of solid images.
• 4-931: Adjusts the clarity of solid image areas.
• 4-932: Adjusts the clarity of low ID lines.
• 4-941: Selects the white line erase level.
• 4-942: Selects the black line erase level.
If a fax and/or scanner/printer option is installed, you can make separate settings
for copier, fax, and scanner/printer mode with these SPs.

Descriptions
Auto Shading
Overview
There are two auto shading methods: black level correction and white level
correction. Auto shading corrects errors in the signal level for each pixel.
Black and white level correction is always done.
Black Level Correction

The IPU detects the black dummy data from one end of the CCD signal (32 pixels
at the end are blacked off) and takes the average of the black dummy data. Then,
the black level value from each image pixel is detected.
White Level Correction

Previous machines used 8-bit data (256 gradations), but this machine uses 6-bit
data (64 gradations). When white level correction is applied to 8-bit data, white
lines are more easily generated. This is because the normal variations in CCD pixel
response (which are very slight), when rounded off by white level correction, will
show up much easier on the copy when the data is divided into 256 gradations.
Before scanning the original, the machine reads a reference waveform from the
white plate. The average of the white video level for each pixel is stored as the
white shading data in the FIFO memory in the IPU (SCRATCH) chip.
The video signal information for each pixel obtained during image scanning is
corrected by the IPU (SCRATCH) chip. If the maximum value of the video level is
64 or less, SC101 (exposure lamp error) is generated.
Auto shading is done before scanning for the first original as well as after scanning
each page to prepare for the next page.
If the image density or the original mode is changed during a copy run, auto
shading is done before scanning the next original.
6-20
White Line Erase

The white line erase feature is validated (default) when you specify a value other
than "0" in SP4-941-001. This feature works as follows:
1) The copier scans the original.
2) The density level of each pixel is compared with its adjacent pixels.
3) If the density level of a pixel is extremely lower then adjacent pixels, the level
is corrected. The density levels of the adjacent pixels are considered.
When you validate the white line erase feature, the feature works for all originals.
This feature erases the white lines of 1- through 6-pixel width (approximately, up to
0.25 mm). The white lines that exceed this width are not erased.
When you specify "2," instead of "1," in SP4-941-001, the feature erases darker
white lines (namely, less whiter lines). Note that this SP does not affect the width of
white lines to be erased.
Black Line Erase

The black line erase feature is the function that erases black lines made by the
dust or dirt on the exposure glass. The feature is validated (default) when you
specify a value other than "0" in SP4-942-001.
When you specify a larger value in this SP, the feature erases weaker black lines
(namely, less blacker lines). This SP also affects the width of black lines to be
erased. If you specify "1" or "2," the feature erases the black lines of 1- through 4-
pixel width (approximately, up to 0.17 mm); if you specify "3," the feature erases
the black lines of 1- through 6-pixel width (approximately, up to 0.25 mm). Note that
some black lines on the original may be erased when you specify a larger value in
the SP.
Descriptions
Detailed
6-21
Auto image density (ADS)

In the SBU
ADS prevents the background of an original from appearing on copies. As the
scanner scans down the page, the IPU on the BICU detects the peak white level
for each scan line. The IPU determines the reference value for the A/D conversion
for a particular scan line using the peak white level for that scan line. Then, the IPU
sends the reference value data to the reference controller on the SBU.
When an original with a gray background is scanned, the density of the gray area is
the peak white level density. Therefore, the original background will not appear on
copies. Because peak level data is taken for each scan line, ADS corrects for any
changes in background density down the page.
As with previous digital copiers, the user can select manual image density when
selecting ADS, and the machine will use both settings when processing the
original.
By Original Type
ADS mode is only enabled when the user has selected:
• Text mode 1 or 2 (Normal or Sharp), Photo mode 2 (Text/Priority), or Special
mode 1 or 2 (Unneeded background or Colored Text).
This can be done using Adjust Original Mode (3) in User Tools (Copier Features).
6-22
Scanner Gamma (γ) Correction

The CCD output is not proportional to the quantity of light received. Scanner γ
correction corrects the CCD output so that grayscale data is proportional to the
quantity of light received.
The machine has two possible scanner gamma curves: Text and Photo. When
selecting Text, the machine does not use scanner γ correction. As a result, the
output is darker than the image density on the original. The advantage of this is
that the machine can bring out gradations in paler areas. The disadvantage is that
the machine cannot bring out gradations in darker areas, i.e. differences in shades
of dark colors are hard to distinguish.
When selecting Photo, the machine uses scanner γ correction. One advantage of
this is that the machine can bring out gradations in dark areas of photo image
originals. The disadvantage is that it in some cases images come out lighter than
the customer desires.

Changing the scanner speed enables enlargement and reduction along the sub
scan direction. However, enlargement and reduction along the main scan direction
is handled by the IPU (SCRATCH) chip. The processing for main scan
enlargement/reduction is the same as in previous digital machines.
Mirroring for ADF Mode
[A]
B121D932.WMF
When making copies using the ADF, the magnification circuit creates a mirror
image. This is because the scanning start position along the main scan direction in
ADF mode is at the opposite corner of platen mode.
In platen mode, the original is placed face down on the exposure glass. The main
scan start position is at corner [A], and the scanner moves down the page. In ADF
mode, the ADF feeds the leading edge of the original to the DF exposure glass.
Therefore as mentioned above, the main scan start position will be at the opposite
corner.
To create the mirror image, the IPU stores each line in LIFO (Last In First Out)
memory.
6-24
Filtering
Overview
There are several software filtering processes for enhancing the desired image
qualities of the selected original mode. There are three MTF filters, a smoothing
filter, independent dot erase, and line width correction. Each can be used only
when certain modes are selected (details below) and are automatically applied.
The strength levels for the MTF are controlled by SP4-932. The levels for line width
correction and independent dot erase are controlled by SP4-927 and 4-928,
respectively.
The MTF filters bring out sharpness. The three MTF filters are Edge, Solid Image
and Low ID Line. Line width correction adjusts the line width. Independent dot
erase removes unwanted dots from the image.
MTF Filter Adjustment - Edge

In order to determine whether a given dot is part of an edge or not, the IPU checks
all surrounding dots (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal). If the IPU determines that
the dot is part of an edge, the machine applies the MTF filter for edges, using the
value set in SP4-930. The higher the setting, the sharper the image. However, this
is only used when the customer uses Text 1, Text 2, Photo 1-3, Special 1, Special
2, or Special 5.
The default value is “0” for each mode. However the actual strength of “0” differs
from mode to mode.
MTF Filter Adjustment - Solid

If the IPU detects that the dot is not part of an edge, the machine applies the MTF
filter for solid areas using the value set in SP4-931. The higher the setting, the

Detailed
from mode to mode.
MTF Filter Adjustment - Low ID Line

The IPU also checks the image density of all dots. If a succession of low-density
dots is detected, the machine interprets this as a low ID line and applies the MTF
filter for low ID lines, using the value set in SP4-932. The higher the setting, the
sharper the image. However, this is only used when the customer uses Text 1,
Text 2, Photo 2, Special 1, Special 2, or Special 5.
from mode to mode.
6-25
Independent Dot Erase

When the user selects Text 1 and 2, Photo 2, and Special 1, 2, and 5 modes,
independent dots are detected using a matrix and erased from the image. The
detection level can be adjusted with SP4-928.
The higher setting, the greater number of dots the machine will erase. The machine
erases the dots regardless of their image density. However, note that dots in mesh-
like images may be mistakenly detected as independent dots.
Line Width Correction

When the user selects Text 1 and 2, Photo 2, Special 1, 2, and 5, the thickness of
lines is adjusted using the setting of SP4-927. Note that the default for all modes
except Special 2 is OFF.
Line width correction is done by the IPU (SCRATCH) chip.
ID Gamma (γ) Correction

The machine automatically selects the most appropriate ID gamma correction
based on the selected original type and the operation panel ID setting.
In all modes, ID gamma correction can be adjusted with SP4-923.
6-26
Gradation Processing
Overview
There are three types of gradation processing (listed below). Refer to the “Default
Image Processing Mode for Each Original Type” section for more details on which
processes are used for each original mode.
• Binary picture processing
• Error diffusion
• Dithering
Binary Picture Processing

The 8-bit image data is converted into 1-bit data (black and white image data). This
is done when the user selects Text 2 or Special 1. The threshold for deciding
whether a pixel is black or white cannot be adjusted.
Error Diffusion
Error diffusion reduces the difference in contrast between light and dark areas of a
halftone image. Each pixel is corrected using the difference between it and the
surrounding pixels. The corrected pixels are compared with an error diffusion
matrix.
Error diffusion is applied when the user selects Text 1, Photo 1-3 and Special 2
and 5.
As the final step in error diffusion, a process called Texture Removal is applied to
Text 1, Photo 2, Special 2, and Special 5 by default, but can also be applied to
Photo 1 and 3 by changing the value of SP4-926.
Texture removal uses 256 threshold values in an 8 x 8 matrix. The value of SP4-
926 controls the application of Texture Removal for each of the 6 modes listed
Descriptions
above. The settings are as follows:
Detailed
0: The default value for each mode is used. Text 1, Photo 2, Special 2, and Special
5 have a default of 3 (see below) and Photo 1 and 3 have a default of 1.
2 – 6: Removal applied at the level specified here. The higher the setting (level),
the less clear the image will become (more texture removal).
Dithering
Each pixel is compared with the threshold in a dither matrix. Several matrices are
available to bring out half-tone areas in images such as newspaper-type
photographs. Dithering is only used for Special 3 and Special 4.

Usually, binary picture processing generates jagged edges on characters, as

shown in the above illustration. These are reduced using edge smoothing. The FCI
changes the laser pulse duration and position for certain pixels.
Fig. A shows the four possible pulse durations, and Fig. B shows how the laser
pulse can be in one of three positions within the pixel. Fig. C shows an example of
how edge smoothing is used.
FCI smoothing is only effective when Text 2 or Special 1 is selected. There is no
SP adjustment for this.
Printer Gamma Correction

Printer correction corrects the data output from the IPU to the laser diode to
account for the characteristics of the engine components (e.g. drum, laser diode,
lenses).
The machine chooses the most suitable gamma curve for the original type selected
by the user. There is no SP adjustment for this.

B121D940.WMF
With a drum charge roller system, the voltage transferred from roller to drum varies
with the temperature and humidity around the drum charge roller. The higher the
temperature or humidity is the higher the applied voltage required.
To compensate, the machine uses the ID sensor to measure the effects of current
environmental conditions. For this measurement, the process control parameters
are balanced so that any small change in drum potential caused by environmental
effects is reflected in a change in the amount of toner transferred to the drum.
This measurement is made immediately after the ID sensor pattern for toner
density control. Immediately after making ID sensor pattern [A], the charge roller
voltage stays the same, but the development bias goes up to –600 V; as a result
the drum potential is reduced to –650 V. The laser diode is not switched on, and
the drum potential is now slightly higher than the development bias, so a very small
amount of toner transfers to the drum. The ID sensor measures the density of this
pattern [B], and the output voltage is known as Vsdp. This voltage is compared with
Vsg (read from the bare drum at the same time).
6-35
DRUM CHARGE 1 December, 2003
If the humidity drops, the drum potential goes up (to a higher –ve voltage) even if
the charge roller voltage supply stays the same (efficiency of voltage transfer is
higher with lower humidity). As a result, less toner is transferred to ID sensor
pattern [B]. If the sensor output reaches a certain point, the drum charge voltage
will be reduced.
To determine whether to change the drum charge roller voltage, the machine
compares Vsdp with Vsg.
• Vsdp/Vsg > 0.95 = Make the drum charge voltage less –ve (smaller) by 50 V
• Vsdp/Vsg < 0.90 = Make the drum charge voltage more –ve (larger) by 50 V
6.8.3 ID SENSOR PATTERN PRODUCTION TIMING

The ID sensor pattern is not made every page or every job.
It is only made in the following conditions:
• During warm-up at power on
• If the machine starts warming up after a certain time (default: 90 minutes) has
passed since entering night/off mode or low power mode.

6.9.6 TONER DENSITY CONTROL

Overview
There are four modes for controlling toner supply as shown in the following tables,
which can be changed with by SP2-921. The factory setting is sensor control 1
mode.
Basically, the toner concentration in the developer is controlled using the standard
TD sensor voltage (Vts), toner supply reference voltage (Vref), actual TD sensor
output voltage (Vt), and ID sensor output data (Vsp/Vsg).

Toner Density Sensor Initial Setting

The TD sensor initial setting (SP2-214: Developer Initialize) procedure must be
done after replacing the developer. During TD sensor initial setting, the TD sensor
is set so that the TD sensor output is the value of SP2-926 (default: 2.4 V). This
value will be used as the standard reference voltage (Vts) of the TD sensor.
Toner Concentration Measurement

The toner concentration in the developer is detected once every copy cycle. The
sensor output voltage (Vt) during the detection cycle is compared with the standard
reference voltage (Vts) or the toner supply reference voltage (Vref).
Vsp/Vsg Detection
The ID sensor detects the following voltages.
• Vsg: The ID sensor output when checking the drum surface
• Vsp: The ID sensor output when checking the ID sensor pattern
In this way, the reflectivity of both the drum surface and the pattern on the drum are
checked, compensating for any variations in the reflectivity of the pattern on the
drum or the reflectivity of the drum surface.
The ID sensor pattern is made on the drum by the charge roller and laser diode.
Vsp/Vsg is not detected every page or job; it is detected at the following times to
decide Vref.
• During warm-up at power on
• If the machine starts warming up when the fusing temperature is 30°C or less
(default) after entering night mode or low power mode (SP2-994 specifies the
Descriptions
Detailed
temperature setting).
Toner Supply Reference Voltage (Vref) Determination

The toner supply reference voltage (Vref) is used for toner supply determination
(see below). Vref is determined using the following data:
• ID sensor output (Vsp/Vsg)
• (Vts or the current Vref) - Vt
Toner Supply Determination

The reference voltage (Vts or Vref) is the threshold voltage for determining whether
or not to supply toner. If Vt becomes greater than the reference voltage, the
machine supplies additional toner.
This can be checked using SP2-220.
6-45
Toner Supply Motor On Time Determinations

For fixed control mode, the toner supply motor on time is specified by the setting of
SP2-925, and does not vary. The default setting is 200 ms for each copy. The toner
supply motor on time for each value of SP2-925 is as follows.
Value of SP2-925 Motor On Time (t = 200 ms)

0 t
1 2t
2 4t
3 8t
4 12t
5 16t
6 Continuously
7 Not supplied
For sensor control modes 1 and 2, the toner supply motor on time is decided by the
following factors.
• Vt
• Vref or Vts
• TD sensor sensitivity (coefficient: S, value is 0.4)
There are seven levels for toner supply motor on time as shown below.
Level Decision Motor On Time (seconds)

1 (Vts or Vref) < Vt ≤ (Vts or Vref) + S/16 t (0.4)
2 (Vts or Vref) < Vt ≤ (Vts or Vref) + S/8 t x 2 (0.8)
5 (Vts or Vref) < Vt ≤ (Vts or Vref) + 4S/5 t x 16 (6.4)
6 Vt ≥ (Vts or Vref) + 4S/16 (near-end) T (30); see note 3
7 Vt ≥ (Vts or Vref) + S (toner end) T (30); see note 3
NOTE: 1) The value of “t” can be changed using SP2-922 (default: 0.4 second)
2) The value of “T” can be changed using SP2-923 (default: 30 seconds)
3) T (30) means that toner is supplied intermittently in a 1/3 duty cycle (1 s
on, 2 s off) for 30 seconds
6-46
6.9.7 TONER SUPPLY IN ABNORMAL SENSOR CONDITIONS

ID Sensor
Readings are abnormal if any of the following conditions occur:
• Vsg ≤ 2.5V
• Vsg < 3.5V when maximum power (979) is applied
• Vsp ≥ 2.5V
• (Vsg – Vsp) < 1.0V
• Vt ≥ 4.5V or Vt ≤ 0.2V
The above ID sensor values can be checked using SP2-221.
When this is detected, the machine changes the value of Vref to 2.5 V then does
the toner density control process (in a similar way to sensor control mode 2).
No SC code is generated if the ID sensor is defective.
TD Sensor
The TD sensor output is checked every copy. If the readings from the TD sensor
become abnormal, the machine changes the toner density control mode to fixed
supply mode 2, and the toner supply amount per page is always 200 ms,
regardless of the value of SP2-925. If the machine detects the TD sensor error
condition 10 times consecutively, an SC code is generated (SC390) and the
machine must be repaired.

Detailed
6-47
6.9.8 TONER NEAR END/END DETECTION AND RECOVERY

The toner near end and end conditions are detected using the Vt and Vref values,
in a similar way to toner density control.
This is done in all toner supply modes except for fixed mode 2, when toner end is
not detected.
Toner Near End Detection

If Vt is at level 6 (see the table on the previous page) five times consecutively, the
machine enters the toner near end condition and the toner end indicator starts
blinking. Then the machine supplies toner for a certain time, which depends on the
setting of SP2-923 (see the previous page).
Toner Near End Recovery

If the machine detects “Vt < (Vref or Vts) + 4S/5” twice consecutively in any of the
following situations, the machine clears the toner near end condition.
• While in the toner recovery cycle (supplying toner on and off for 30 s—see
the previous page) after the machine has detected a toner near end
condition.
• During copying in the toner near end condition.
• If the front cover is opened and closed for more than 10 seconds while a
toner near end condition exists.
Toner End Detection

There are two situations for entering the toner end condition.
• When Vt is level 7 three times consecutively, the machine enters the toner
end condition.
• When 50 copies have been made since entering the toner near end
condition. The number of copies between toner near-end and toner end can
be changed using SP2-213.
Toner End Recovery

While turning on the main switch, if the front cover is opened for 10 seconds or
more and then closed while a Toner End condition exists (following toner bottle
replacement), the machine clears the Toner End condition. The recovery procedure
is the same as for toner near end. It takes about two minutes.

There are one or two paper trays, each of which can hold 250 sheets.
The paper tray feed stations use a friction pad system. To prevent paper from
getting caught inside the machine when the tray is pulled out, the paper feed roller
and shaft do not separate from the tray when the tray is pulled out.

6.11.2 PAPER FEED DRIVE MECHANISM

The main motor [A] drives the pick-up and [A]
feed mechanism of both the first and
second paper trays. The paper feed
clutches [B] transfer drive from this motor
to the paper feed rollers [C].
When the paper feed clutch turns on, the
feed roller starts to feed the paper. The [B]
paper feed clutch stays on until shortly
after the registration sensor has been
activated.

If there is any paper in the paper tray,
the paper stack lifts the feeler, the
paper end sensor [A] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of paper,
the paper end feeler drops into the
cutout [B] in the tray bottom plate and
the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with
no paper in the tray, the shape of the
paper end feeler causes it to lift up.

There are three paper size microswitches [A] on the front right plate of the paper
tray unit. The switches are actuated by a paper size actuator [B] behind the paper
size indicator plate, which is on the front right of the tray.
Each paper size has its own actuator, with a unique combination of notches. To
determine which size has been installed, the CPU reads which microswitches the
actuator has switched off.
The CPU disables paper feed from a tray if the paper size cannot be detected. If

indicator will light.
When the paper size actuator is at the “*” mark, the paper tray can be set up to
accommodate one of a wider range of paper sizes by using User Tools. If the
paper size for this position is changed without changing the User Tool setting, a
paper jam will result.

registration roller to correct skew can B121D961.WMF
be adjusted with SP1-003.
If jams frequently occur after registration, SP1-903 can be used to activate the
relay clutch so that the relay roller assists the registration roller in feeding the paper
along. When feeding from the by-pass tray, the by-pass feed clutch is activated,
turning the by-pass feed roller. This feature may be needed when feeding thick
paper, and cannot be used for the first paper feed tray.

1 December, 2003 IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION
6.12.2 IMAGE TRANSFER CURRENT TIMING

There are two transfer current levels: low and high. The image transfer procedure
is as follows:
1. When the CPU receives the image writing start signal, the CPU instructs the
high voltage supply board to supply +10µA (low transfer current level) to the
roller. This prevents any positively charged toner on the drum surface from
transferring to the transfer roller.
2. At a certain time after the low transfer current has been supplied to the roller,
high transfer current is applied to the roller to transfer the toner to the paper
(see the table below).
3. After the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the roller, transfer
current turns off. In multiple copy mode, the transfer current shifts again to the
low transfer current.
The high transfer current levels (default) are as shown in the following table. With
SP2-301, the high transfer current level used for the paper feed trays, duplex tray,
by-pass tray, and cleaning an be adjusted.

IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION 1 December, 2003
6.12.3 TRANSFER ROLLER CLEANING

If the paper size is smaller than the image, or if a paper jam occurs during printing,
toner may be transferred to the roller surface. To prevent the toner from
transferring to the back side of the printouts, the transfer roller requires cleaning
before the next printing run.
During transfer roller cleaning, the high voltage supply unit supplies a negative
cleaning voltage (about –1 kV) to the transfer roller. Any negatively charged toner
on the transfer roller is then transferred back to the drum. Then a positive cleaning
current (+10 µA) is applied to the transfer roller to push back to the drum any
positively charged toner on the transfer roller.
The machine goes through the cleaning mode in the following conditions:
• Before starting the printing job (only if enabled with SP2-996; note that the
default setting is off)
• Just after the power is switched on.
• After a copy jam has been cleared
• After 10 or more sheets of paper have been copied and the copy job has
finished.
Also, the transfer roller cleaning current can be adjusted using SP2-301-4.

Fusing Unit Drive

The main motor [C] drives the fusing unit through a gear train, and drives the paper
exit rollers [A] through the timing belt [B].
Drive Release Mechanism

When the right door [I] is open, the spring [G] pushes the top end of the gear
holder [F] to the right. The drive gear is released from the fusing-unit drive gear [J].
When you close the right door, the mechanical link [H] pushes the spring [G]. The
gear holder turns counterclockwise by the force of another spring [D], and engages
with the fusing-unit drive gear.
Contact/Release Control
The drive power is not transmitted to the fusing unit (☛ Drive Release Solenoid)
during warming up when the fusing temperature (at the start) is 18°C or higher.
The drive power is transmitted when the fusing temperature is less than 18°C. This
contact/release control is based on the following fact.
The hot roller [L] takes a shorter time to become Fusing Temp. Contact/Release

gear engages with the fusing unit drive gear. When
the solenoid is on, it pulls the top end of the gear
holder to the right, and the gear holder turns clockwise. As a result, the drive gear
is released from the fusing unit drive gear.
The release solenoid comes on when you turn on the main switch if the fusing
temperature is 18°C or higher (☛ Contact/Release Control). The solenoid releases
the drive gear from the fusing unit drive gear. The fusing lamps heat the hot roller
[L] more effectively since the heat is not conducted to the pressure roller [K]. When
the hot roller becomes hot enough, the release solenoid turns off, letting the drive
gear engage with the fusing unit drive gear.

6.13.5 FUSING TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Overview
[A]
B121D902.WMF
There are two fusing lamps (not identical), two thermistors, and four thermostats.
The fusing temperature is controlled using the thermistors [A].
The CPU checks the output from the fusing thermistor once every 1.5 seconds.
The CPU decides how long the lamps must be switched on during the next 1.5
seconds by comparing the following temperatures:
• The center thermistor temperature and the target center temperature
• The end thermistor temperature and the target end temperature
Descriptions
Detailed
The fusing lamp works to maintain a target fusing temperature of 160°C during
copying.
6-63
Temperature Control
According to the operation mode, the fusing temperature is controlled. The diagram
illustrates the transition of fusing temperature. After you turn the main switch on,
the fusing temperature rises from the room temperature (t0) to one of the specified
temperatures. You can adjust some of the temperatures.

Turning the fusing lamp on and off may affect the voltage of the power source in
the room, causing the fluorescent lights in the room to flicker. To lighten this
problem, you can reduce the checking repetition to 20 times.
When machine initialization ends, the fusing temperature is set to one of the
following temperatures:
• The Standby Temperature (T2: SP1-105-3/4) when there is no print job
• The First Print Temperature when the copier has received a print request
during machine initialization
You cannot directly adjust the First Print Temperature. This temperature is 10°C
higher (up to 185°C) than the Copying Temperature (☛ Copying Mode).
C Copying Mode
When the copier is making copies, the fusing temperature is set to one of the
following temperatures:
• The Warm Up Temperature (SP1-105-1/2) to output the first print after the
Low Power Mode (☛ Low Power Mode)
• The Copying Temperature (T4: SP1-105-5/6) to output the second print (and
after the second)
You can raise the Warm Up Temperature to make better the fusing quality of the
first print. While the copier is adjusting the fusing temperature to the Warm Up
Temperature, the message "Copy starts after warm up" is displayed.
6-64
c Thick Paper Mode

When the machine is making copies on thick paper, the fusing temperature is
set to the Thick Paper Temperature (SP1-105-9/10). When thick paper reaches
the registration sensor, the copier checks the fusing temperature, and executes
one of the following processing:
• Stops feeding the thick paper (and keeps it at the registration sensor) and
waits for the fusing temperature to reach the predefined temperature–the
temperature 5°C lower than the Thick Paper Temperature. (The fusing
temperature keeps rising until it reaches the Thick Paper Temperature while
the thick paper travels from the registration sensor to the fusing unit.)
• Continues feeding paper and executes the print job if the fusing temperature
is high enough.
b1/b2 Standby Mode

When the copier is not making copies, the fusing temperature is set to the
Standby Temperature (T2: SP1-105-3/4). You can adjust this temperature.
However, if you have raised this temperature, the BICU may be unable to
generate an SC code in the event of fusing lamp error.
While in the Standby Mode, the copier checks the fusing temperature every 1.5
seconds (G: SP1-108-1). Turning on and off the fusing lamp may affect the
voltage of the power source (in the room), causing the fluorescent lights (in the
room) to flicker. To lighten such trouble, you can adjust the control period.
However, if you elongate this period (to two seconds or longer), the BICU may
be unable to generate an SC code in the event of a fusing lamp error.

6.13.6 OVERHEAT PROTECTION

This machine protects its hardware from overheat by three features. Normally, the
first feature can fully protect the hardware. The second feature works as the fail-
safe feature for the first one. The third feature works as the fail-safe feature for the
second one.
FIRST FEATURE: If the fusing temperature reaches 230°C (or higher) and stays so
for one second, the controller turns the fusing lamp off. In a case like this,
SC543 or SC553 is displayed.
SECOND FEATURE: If the fusing feature reaches 250°C, the controller cuts off the
24V line. (The fusing lamps are on the 24V line.)
THIRD FEATURE: Two thermostats are attached on each line of the two fusing lamps.
(four thermostats in total). One of the two thermostats cuts the power supply to
the fusing lamp at 179°C, and the other cuts the power supply at 180°C. (Note
that the thermostat temperature is somewhat lower than the fusing
temperature.)
