!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. CAUTION MARKING:

GENERAL CAUTIONS
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)

Replacement Adjustment
The PCU consists of the OPC drum, charge roller, development unit, and cleaning components. Observe the following precautions when handling the PCU. 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 lamps 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.

3.6.7 AFTER REPLACEMENT OR ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: After replacing or adjusting any of the PCU components, do the following procedure. This procedure is not necessary when you replaced the whole PCU with a new one. 1. Take 5 sample copies. 2. If black dots (dropped toner) appear on any of the copies, continue as follows. (If all copies are clean, you don't need to carry out the following steps.) 3. Remove the PCU from the mainframe.
4. Tap the top of the PCU with a screwdriver at eight evenly spaced locations (two or three taps at each spot), to knock the recycled toner down into the development section. 5. Put the PCU back into the mainframe. 6. Turn the main power on. Then open and close the door and wait for the machine to rotate the development roller for 10 seconds. Then open and close the door two more times, so that total rotation time is 30 seconds. 7. Make some sky-shot copies (or solid black prints). If using A4/81/2" x 11" paper, make 4 copies/prints. If using A3/11" x 17" paper, make 2 copies/prints. To make solid black prints, use SP5-902 pattern 8. NOTE: Step 7 is required only after parts replacement or adjustment. There is no need to make sky-shot (or solid black) copies after replacing the developer.

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. Auto Adjustment Setting [222 281 / 256 / 1/step] Displays the parameter of the white-level adjustment. The value is based on the result of SP4-901-12. Auto Adjustment-Result [0 600 / 0 / 1/step] Displays the result of the white-level adjustment. Normally, the value is between 228 and 281 (including the both values). When the value is normal, it is stored as the value of SP4-901-11. Auto Adjustment-Error [0 = Normal / 1 = Error] Displays a return code of the white-level adjustment. The code "1" (error) is returned if the adjustment result value is less than 228 or larger than 281 ( SP4901-12).

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.

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).

Reading the Data

Paper Size : 11000000 81/2x13 ) DF Open : 1
Example 1
Paper Size : 00110000 A4 * DF Open : 0

Example 2
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," 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]. [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").

Exceptions SP5-801-002 (basic machine) and SP5-998-001 (MFP machine) clears most of the settings and counters stored in the NVRAM on the BICU (the values return to their default values). However, the following settings are not cleared:
SP5-807 (Area Selection) SP5-811-001 (Serial Num Input [Code Set]) SP5-811-003 (Serial Num Input [ID2 Code Display]) SP5-812-001 (Service TEL [Telephone]) SP5-812-002 (Service TEL [Facsimile]) SP5-907 (Plug & Play) SP7 (Data Log) SP8 (History)
Use SP5-802-002 (basic machine) or SP5-998-001 (MFP machine) after you have replaced the BICU NVRAM or when the BICU NVRAM data is corrupted. When the program ends normally, the message "Completed" is displayed. When you have replaced the controller NVRAM or when the controller NVRAM data is corrupted, use SP5-801-001. The message is the same as the basic machine.

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 Z. When you press the + key, the second character changes likewise. 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

Serial numbers are stored in the NVRAM before shipment and are not cleared. You must specify a serial number after you replace the 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 touchscreen 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 photoconductive (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.

The original is illuminated by the exposure lamp (a xenon lamp). The image is reflected onto a CCD (charge coupled device) on the lens block via the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd mirrors, and through the lens on the lens block. The 1st scanner consists of the exposure lamp, a reflector, and the 1st mirror.
A lamp stabilizer energizes the exposure lamp. The light reflected by the reflector is of almost equal intensity, to reduce shadows on pasted originals. An optics anti-condensation heater is available as an option. It can be installed on the left side of the scanner. It turns on whenever the power cord is plugged in.

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.

B121D930.WMF
While the main switch is on, these sensors are active and the original size data is 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.

In the optics cavity for original size detection, there are four reflective sensors. The original width sensors [A] detect the original width, and the original length sensors [B] detect the original length. These are the APS (Auto Paper Select) sensors. Each APS sensor is a reflective photosensor.

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.

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.

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.

IMAGE PROCESSING
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 4pixel 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.

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).

Scanner Gamma () Correction

The CCD output is not proportional to the quantity of light received. Scanner 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 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 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.

IMAGE PROCESSING
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 sharper the image. However, this is only used when the customer uses Text 2. The default value is 0 for each mode. However the actual strength of 0 differs 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. The default value is 0 for each mode. However the actual strength of 0 differs from mode to mode.

IMAGE PROCESSING

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 meshlike 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 () 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.

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 SP4926 controls the application of Texture Removal for each of the 6 modes listed above. The settings are as follows: 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. 1: No removal applied. 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.

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).

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

6.9.6 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).

The four-toner density control modes are as follows.

Mode Toner supply decision Toner control process Sensor control 1 (SP2-921, 0): Normally use this setting only Compare Vt with a reference voltage (Vts or Vref) Toner is supplied to the development unit when Vt is higher than the reference voltage (Vts or Vref). This mode keeps the Vref value for use with the next toner density control. Vts is used for the first toner density control after a new PCU has been installed, until it has been corrected with the ID sensor output. Vref is used after Vts has been corrected with the ID sensor output voltage (corrected during the first toner density control for a new PCU). Varies Performed Sensor control 2 (SP2-921, 1): For designers use only; do not use in the field Compare Vt with a reference voltage (Vts) This toner control process is the same as sensor control 1 mode.

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 30C or less (default) after entering night mode or low power mode (SP2-994 specifies the 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.

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 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Motor On Time (t = 200 ms) t 2t 4t 8t 12t 16t Continuously 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.

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.

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 ssee 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.

6.10.1 DRUM CLEANING
The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is transferred to the paper. This model uses a counter blade system. The cleaning blade scrapes off toner remaining on the drum. When toner builds up in the cleaning unit, toner at the top of the pile is removed by the toner collection coil [B]. To remove the toner and other particles that are accumulated at the edge of the cleaning blade, the drum turns in reverse for about 5 mm at the end of every copy job.

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 the paper size actuator is broken, or if there is no tray installed, the Add Paper 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.

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 +10A (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.

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 A) 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 18C or higher. The drive power is transmitted when the fusing temperature is less than 18C. This contact/release control is based on the following fact. The hot roller [L] takes a shorter time to become hot enough if it is not turning during warming up. When, however, the fusing temperature (at the start) is low, the temperature of the hot-roller surface may become uneven. You can disable this control ( SP1-103-001).

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 18C 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.

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 The fusing lamp works to maintain a target fusing temperature of 160C during copying.

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.

B121D910.WMF
: Regular Start : Cold Start UPPER CASE : Adjustable by SP lower case : Not adjustable
A1 Regular Start Mode/A2 Cold Start Mode (SP1-107-1/2) 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 10C higher (up to 185C) 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.

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 temperaturethe temperature 5C 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. e Low Power Mode When the Energy Saver Timer (! > System Settings > Timer Settings Energy Saver Timer) expires, the fusing temperature is set to the Low Power Temperature (T1: SP1-105-7/8).

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 failsafe 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 230C (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 250C, 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 179C, and the other cuts the power supply at 180C. (Note that the thermostat temperature is somewhat lower than the fusing temperature.)

During duplex copying, the inverter gate solenoid [A] switches on and the junction gate [B] switches over to direct the paper to the inverter. When the paper trailing edge reaches the duplex inverter sensor [C], the inverter roller [D] reverses its rotation direction and the paper goes to the duplex unit. The paper is then sent to the mainframe registration rollers to print the reverse side. If there are two or more copies being made with A4/81/2" x 11" SEF (or smaller), the next sheet waits at the registration sensor for the current sheet to exit the inverter.

ENERGY SAVER MODES OF BASIC MACHINES
Timers
The engine controller references the Energy Saver Timer to start the Low Power Mode, and references the Auto Off Timer to start the Night/Off Mode. The user can set these timers (! > System Settings > Timer Settings). The Energy Saver Timer and the Auto Off Timer start at the same time (t0) when the machine ends all jobs or when the user ends all manual operations. Note that the Auto Off Timer does not wait for the Energy Saver Timer. Therefore, if the user specifies a smaller value in the Energy Saver Timer, the Auto Off Timer expires earlier than the Energy Saver Timer. In a case like this, the Low Power Mode is not activated. Instead, the engine controller starts the Night/Off Mode when the Auto Off Timer expires.
Specified value Energy Saver Timer > Auto Off Timer Energy Saver Timer = Auto Off Timer Energy Saver Timer < Auto Off Timer Low Power Mode Can start Cannot start Cannot start Night/Off Mode Can start Can start Can start
Recovery
Any of the following operations brings the machine back to the Operating Mode: The power switch is pressed. Originals are set on the document feeder. The platen cover (or document feeder) is opened.
