Safety Information
To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dangerous or not within the scope of this document. Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in this manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.

Power Supply
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the printer when the power is applied, be aware of the potential for electrical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.
W A R N IN G

Do not touch any live part unless you are instructed to do so by a service procedure. The LVPS power supply switch/inlet part is live even when the power switch has been turned off. Do not touch any live part. Do not touch electrified components except when instructions indicate it is permissible to do so.

Figure 0-1. Power Supply

Mechanical Components
If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly.
.

High Temperature Assembly


To prevent you from becoming injured or burned, do the following: Before working with a high temperature Assembly (e.g., Fuser Assembly), turn off the power, unplug the power cord and wait until it cools down.

W A R N IN G

Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is being driven.
W A R N IN G

The high temperature Assembly is very hot immediately after any printer operations. Wait at least 40 minutes before you start working on the printer.

Laser Beam
W A R N IN G

Do not expose yourself to the laser beam to prevent injury (blindness). Do not open the cover that has the laser beam warning label. If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off the power. If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual. Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you. Figure 0-2. Laser Beam

NOTE: The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light). It has excellent monochromaticity and convergence. A thin laser beam reaches long distances. Because of its convergence characteristic, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature. A laser beam is harmful to the human body. NOTE: The laser beam in this printer is invisible.

Warning and Caution Labels


Warning labels and Caution labels are placed on the printer to help prevent accidents. When maintaining the printer, confirm that these labels are not dirty or peeling off. Caution label for high temperature components

In case of an insufficient memory, the following errors occur in this printer: Mem Overflow, Image Optimum, Need Memory, Duplex Mem Overflow. In these cases, error processing listed below can possibly release the errors. Set the resolution to 300 dpi in the case of B/W printing. In color printing, change the compression format to the non-reversible compression. Make the receive buffer size smaller. Set an unused I/F to Off. However, in order to surely avoid problems with an insufficient memory, it is necessary to install additional memory.

2.1 Print Process


2.1.1 Print Process Overview
This printer is a full color laser printer that uses the principle of electrophotographic recording. Each YMCK color (yellow, magenta, cyan, black) has its own special drum and developer that are used in tandem, three Intermediate Data Transfer rollers are coordinated (2 IDT 1 rollers, 1 IDT 2 roller), and at the end of the process the layered color toner images produce a full color print. The major steps of the print process are described below: 1) Charging: The drum surfaces are charged with electricity. 2) Exposure: Image areas are exposed on drums with laser radiation. 3) Developing: Image areas on drums are developed with toner. 4) Primary transfer: The toner image on drums is transferred to transfer rollers (IDT1). 5) Secondary transfer: The toner images on primary transfer rollers (IDT 1) are transferred to the secondary transfer roller (IDT 2). 6) Cleaning: Primary transfer rollers (IDT 1) are cleaned. 7) Tertiary transfer: The complete four-color toner image on the secondary transfer roller (IDT 2) is transferred to the paper. 8) Cleaning: Secondary transfer roller (IDT 2) is cleaned. 9) Electrical charge removal: The electrical charge of the paper is discharged. 10) Fusing: Toner on the paper is fixed with heat and pressure. 11) Cleaning: Residual toner on the drums and transfer rollers is collected.

2.1.3 Print Process Technical Explanation


2.1.3.1 Charging Process
This process gives an electrical charge to the surfaces of the photoconductive drums.

2.1.3.9 Electrical Carge Removal


This process neutralizes / removes any positive electrical charge that remains on the back of the paper due to the tertiary transfer, through the provision of a negative bias (negative voltage) by Detack Daw. The removal of this electrostatic charge helps to prevent the paper from sticking to, coiling around or being attracted toward the paper pathways, the fuser and the paper eject tray. In addition, this procedure prevents image disturbances that may be caused by electrical discharges and electrostatic noise.

2.1.3.2 Exposure Process


This process uses laser light to expose the imaging drums and form an invisible electrostatic latent image on the drum surface.

2.1.3.3 Developing Process


This process builds up the images on the drum surfaces, using the toners.

2.1.3.4 Primary Transfer Process


This process transfers the toner images that have been built up on the drums, to the Primary Intermediate Transfer Drums (IDT1).

2.1.3.5 Secondary Transfer Process


This process transfers the toner images from the Primary Intermediate Transfer Drums (IDT1) to the Secondary Intermediate Transfer Drum (IDT2).

2.1.3.6 Cleaning
This process cleans the Primary Intermediate Transfer Drums (IDT1).

2.1.3.7 Tertiary Transfer Process


This process transfers the complete 4-color toner image from the Secondary Intermediate Transfer Drum (IDT2) onto the paper.

2.1.3.8 Cleaning
This process cleans the Secondary Intermediate Transfer Drum (IDT2).

The toner image that is transferred to the paper by IDT 2 can be easily smudged by even a light touch of a finger, so the toner image is fixed to the paper by the FUSER ASSY (PL9.1.1). With the Heater Lamp as its heat source, the Heat Roll melts the toner, then components inside the Belt opposite the Heat Roll applies pressure to the paper and the toner is fixed in place. The fusing method of the AcuLaser C4000 differs from previous heat-roll and pressure-roll fusing methods. By using a pressure method with the belt: Contact area for the Heat-Roll is expanded. Nip pressure is reduced by expansion of contact area. Heat transferability is improved by thinner Heat-Roll, reducing warm-up time and fusing time.

2.1.3.11 Cleaning Process


This process recovers any excess toner that remains on the image drums and on the intermediate transfer drums.

2.1.3.12 Cleaning (Full)


The Cleaning (Full) process removes residual toner from the HTC, Refresher, IDT 1 Cleaner, and IDT 2 Cleaner after the complete toner image has been transferred to the paper. Toner that is not transferred during the Secondary Transfer and 3rd Stage Transfer processes is retained on the IDT 1 Cleaner and IDT 2 Cleaner. The polarity also changes and toner returned to the drum is retained on the Refresher. Any toner that slips by the Refresher adheres to the HTC. The toner in these locations is cleaned after completion of the print. The method used to collect the toner on IDT 1 Cleaner and IDT 2 Cleaner is different from the method used on the Refresher and HTC. 1) IDT 1 Cleaner, IDT 2 Cleaner The same high voltage used during the print transfer process is applied to IDT 1, IDT 2 and BTR. By applying zero volts to the IDT 1 Cleaner and IDT 2 Cleaner, any remaining toner (negative polarity) on the IDT cleaners is transferred by electric charge to IDT 1 and IDT 2. From that point, as with the print transfer process, the electric potential difference of IDT 1, IDT 2 and BTR causes the remaining toner to be collected on the BTR surface.

2) Refresher, HTC High voltage opposite that used during the print transfer process (negative) is applied to IDT 1, IDT 2 and BTR. The drum surfaces are negatively charged by contact with IDT 1 rollers. By applying zero volts to the Refresher and HTC, residual toner (positive polarity) on the Refresher and HTC is transferred by electric charge to the drums. From that point, as with the print transfer process, the electric potential difference of IDT 1, IDT 2 and BTR causes the remaining toner to be collected on the BTR surface. Toner picked up by the BTR surface is scraped off by the Scraper and collected in the toner collection space inside the BTR ASSY (PL9.1.2).

2.5.2.1 Main Functions
SWITCH SIZE TRAY1 (PL4.2.8) SWITCH SIZE TRAY 1 detects the presence/absence of the tray and the size of the paper. SENSOR NO/LOW PAPER (No paper Sensor) (PL4.3.4) Detects the presence/absence of paper inside the tray by change in the actuator position. (No paper: sensor blocked) SENSOR NO/LOW PAPER (Low Paper Sensor) (PL4.3.4) The actuator lowers according to the level of paper in the tray. When the actuator descends to a certain level, the sensor becomes shaded, thereby allowing detection of the low quantity of paper. The actuator position can be seen from the front of the tray, allowing a rough estimate of remaining paper. SOLENOID FEED TRAY1 (PL4.3.17) The ROLL FEED ASSY (PL4.3.3) motion (rotating/stopped) is controlled by the GEAR FEED (PL4.3.11, PL4.3.12) rotation. CLUTCH ASSY TURN TRAY1 (PL4.3.18) Driving force from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN (PL14.1.2) is transferred to the ROLL ASSY TURN (PL4.3.21). ROLL ASSY FEED (PL4.3.3) When the SOLENOID FEED TRAY 1 moves, force from the SPRING FEED (PL4.3.9, PL4.3.10) causes the GEAR FEED and GEAR IDLER FEED (PL4.3.14) to engage, the ROLL ASSY FEED begins rotating by receiving driving force from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN, and the ROLL ASSY (PICK UP ASSY) (PL4.3.25) feeds a sheet of paper from the tray. A notch in the GEAR FEED causes the GEAR FEED and GEAR IDLER FEED to disengage after one revolution, cutting the transfer of force and stopping rotation of the ROLL ASSY FEED. In this way, one sheet of paper is fed at a time. ROLL ASSY TURN (PL4.3.21) ROLL ASSY TURN begins turning by receiving driving force from DRIVE ASSY MAIN through CLUTCH ASSY TURN TRAY 1 and conveys the paper fed from the tray to the CHUTE REGI (Regi Roll) (PL10.1.14).

(Paper present: sensor receiving) SENSOR PAPER (MSI No Paper Sensor) (PL7.1.4) Change in the actuator position detects presence/absence of paper on the manual feed tray. (Paper absent: sensor blocked) SOLENOID FEED MSI (PL7.1.40) The ROLL ASSY FEED (PL7.1.27) motion (rotating/stopped) is controlled by the GEAR MSI (PL7.1.22) rotation. ROLL ASSY FEED (PL7.1.27) When the SOLENOID FEED MSI moves, force from the SPRING SOL (PL7.1.39) causes the GEAR MSI and GEAR IDLER (DRIVE MAIN ASSY) to engage, the ROLL ASSY FEED begins rotating by receiving driving force from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN (PL14.1.2) and feeds a sheet of paper from the manual feed tray. A notch in the GEAR MSI causes the GEAR MSI and GEAR Idler (DRIVE ASSY MAIN) to disengage after one revolution, cutting the transfer of force and stopping rotation of the ROLL ASSY FEED. In this way, one sheet of paper is fed at a time. ROLL DUP (PL7.1.12) ROLL DUP begins rotating by receiving driving force from MOTOR ASSY DUP (PL8.1.8) and then conveys single-side printed paper from the CHUTE ASSY EXIT (PL8.1.1) to the ROLL TURN (PL5.1.2).

CHUTE ASSY REGI (CLUTCH REGI) (PL10.1.1) The CHUTE ASSY REGI is constructed of the CLUTCH REGI (PL10.1.12), the ROLL REGI RUBBER (PL10.1.10) and the ROLL REGI METAL. Driving force is transferred from the DRIVE ASSY MAIN (PL14.1.2) to the ROLL REGI RUBBER by the CLUTCH REGI (PL10.1.12), and the paper is conveyed toward the PHD ASSY from either the Tray path or the MSI path. In addition, when the leading edge of the paper reaches the CHUTE REGI (PL10.1.14), the CLUTCH REGI becomes a retaining loop for the paper until the ROLL REGI RUBBER begins rotating, and it corrects skew of the paper edge to ensure proper feed. SENSOR REGI (Regi Sensor) (PL10.1.20) Detects the leading edge of the paper when it reaches the CHUTE REGI. (Paper present: sensor receiving) SENSOR OHP (PL10.1.16) Regular paper scatters radiated light, and the SENSOR OHP catches that reflected light, detecting the paper. OHP (Over Head Projector) transparencies do not scatter much direct light, so the SENSOR OHP cannot catch any reflected light. This method determines if the sheet being fed from the MSI is an OHP transparency or regular paper.

2.7 Mode
2.7.1 Print Mode
There are three print modes: Normal Mode, High Resolution Mode, and High Gloss Mode. These modes have sub-categories based on resolution (600 dpi/ 1200 dpi) and process speed (full speed/half speed). When process speed is set to half speed, video data transfer speed to the ROS is double the 600 dpi speed, yielding 1200 dpi resolution. 1. Use Normal Mode to print at 600 dpi 2. Use High Resolution Mode to print at 1200 dpi on plain paper 3. Use High Gloss Mode at 600 dpi with half speed to improve gloss on plain paper Relationships of resolution, process speed, paper and print mode are shown below.

The table below shows Paper Size Switch ON/OFF conditions for SWITCH SIZE TRAY 1 (PL4.2.8) and corresponding Diagnostic Tool Display Data according to the paper size loaded. NOTE: Paper size switch order from the highest to lowest positions is SW1, SW2, SW3.

2.8.2 Paper Supply Selection Control


When not actively controlled by the Printer Controller, TRAY 1 is selected as the paper supply when the power is turned ON. NOTE: TRAY 1 is used as the name for the printers internal paper supply, TRAY 2 is the first level of the optional TRAY UNIT and TRAY 3 is the second level of the TRAY UNIT.

2.8.3 ROS Light Control


Image data enters the laser diode of the ROS ASSY as an electric signal (data is expressed by high/low condition of the voltage), and the laser diode converts that electric signal to a light signal (data is expressed by on/off condition of the light). Occurrence of variations such as fluxuations in laser radiation quantity, irregularities in the optics (such as the lens) or variations in the sensitivity of the drum can prevent the formation of a suitable electrostatic image, so the laser diode monitors the laser radiation quantity and controls it in order to always obtain a suitable electrostatic image. The ROS in this printer has four separate laser diodes, one each for yellow, magenta, cyan and black, and quantity of laser radiation is automatically adjusted for each.

An overview of POTENTIAL CONTROL is shown below. 1) Temperature and humidity is measured by the SENSOR HUM TEMP (PL4.2.4) and target values are set for drum charge voltage and developer DC voltage. 2) A POTENTIAL CONTROL patch for each color (yellow, magenta, cyan, black) is formed and transferred to the BTR surface. (The shape of the patches is shown below.)

2.8.4 PROCESS CONTROL


In order to render a stable print, timely correction of image formation parameters is needed. Control of the entire process that includes parameter adjustment control is called PROCESS CONTROL. The following two items are the main controlling functions: Potential Control Toner Density Control The controlling functions above are supplemented by the following functions: High Area Coverage Mode Admix Mode SENSOR ASSY ADC (PL6.1.11) LED Light Quantity Setting

2.8.4.1 POTENTIAL CONTROL


In order to obtain stable print image density, POTENTIAL CONTROL regulates the drum charge voltage and the developer DC voltage to match the fluctuating developer capability moment by moment. Adjusted drum charge voltage and developer DC voltage is monitored, and a fixed level of print image density is maintained. POTENTIAL CONTROL performs its functions just before printing starts under the following conditions: When printing the first page after power has been turned on When the number of pages lined up for printing is 16 or more When performing a cleaning cycle between a series of pages to be printed

Figure 2-34. POTENTIAL CONTROL


3) Density on the portion of the BTR surface not holding toner and density of the patch are both measured by the SENSOR ASSY ADC (Density Sensor). 4) Density measurements taken at Step 3) are compared with target values set in Step 1). Adjustments to drum charge voltage and developer DC voltage for each color are made according to the difference in the values.

method determines the number of dispense rotations. ADC dispense rotation calculations are cancelled after 8 pages are printed. If ADC calculates that dispense rotations will be insufficient for 16 pages, the insufficient portion is used to print the first 8 pages, that amount is doubled (16 8 = 2) and added to the dispense rotations calculated by the PCDC. In the same way, if ADC calculates that dispense rotations will be excessive for 16 pages, the excess amount is used for the first 8 pages, and the amount of dispense rotations calculated by the PCDC is decreased. If the subtraction for 8 pages will not be enough to use up the excess amount, the remainder is subtracted from additional pages.

2.8.4.2 Toner Density Control


It is necessary to maintain fixed toner densities in order to obtain stable print quality. Accurately refreshing the areas of toner used by the previous print will maintain a fixed toner density. This arrangement is called PCDC. However, because PCDC used by itself will generate differences in the targeted toner densities, a method of correcting this is needed. Toner density correction using SENSOR ASSY ADC (PL6.1.11) accomplishes this. The combination of these two methods is called Toner Density Control. 1) PCDC (Pixel Count Dispense Control) By counting the video signals entering the ROS ASSY (PL11.1.1), the amount of toner used during the developing process can be calculated. The video signal count is done by detecting the charge/ discharge cycle of a condenser in the CR circuit arranged in parallel with the video signal line. Toner use is calculated by the toner dispensing time. The Toner Motor inside the HOLDER ASSY (PL12.2.5~8) is turned according to the calculated toner dispense time, and toner is supplied to the developer. 2) ADC (Auto Destiny Control) A toner density control patch for each color (yellow, magenta, cyan, black) is formed by the set electric potential conditions, the patches are transferred the BTR, and the density on the BTR is measured by the SENSOR ASSY ADC. The measured values are compared to standard values. When the toner density is low, the toner dispense quantity is increased for subsequent printing; when toner density is high, the toner dispense quantity is decreased for subsequent printing. Toner dispense quantity is calculated by toner dispense time. The calculations are made for each color. ADC performs its functions after printing is completed under either of the following conditions: When the number of pages lined up for printing is 16 or more When performing a cleaning cycle between pages in a print series 3) Toner Dispensing Example The Toner Motor will rotate one time for each set period of time. Toner dispense time, calculated by items (1) and (2) above, is used to calculate the needed number of Toner Motor rotations. The following

2.8.4.3 High Area Coverage Mode


When printing a series of pages with an image coverage area requiring toner dispensing, the toner density inside the developer can become low. To counter this, High Area Coverage Mode delays the feeding of the next sheet of paper when the toner dispense time has reached its set value and continues to allow toner dispensing.

2.8.4.5 SENSOR ASSY ADC (PL6.1.11) LED Light Quantity Control


The SENSOR ASSY ADC is a refection type density sensor that uses an internal LED to shine light on a target, detect the reflected light with a receptor, and send an electric signal corresponding to light quantities detected. In order to correctly measure the density, it is necessary for the sensor output value (reflected light quantity) from the BTR target (when no toner is present) to be like a required value. The reflected light quantity will change according to the condition of the BTR surface and the amount of dust on the SENSOR ASSY ADC surface. For the reflected value to become a standard, the light emitted from the LED must be controlled. This control sets the light quantity as though the reflected light quantity were a prescribed value and thereafter regulates quantities to be within the allowed limits. 1) Light Quantity Setting The reflected light quantity can change substantially when the BTR ASSY (PL9.1.2) is replaced or the SENSOR ASSY ADC is cleaned. This is assumed to happen, and setting is performed when power is turned on or the front cover is closed. The LED light quantity is increased gradually, and output from the SENSOR ASSY ADC becomes the set value when it surpasses the prescribed value. At this time, if the SENSOR ASSY ADC output cannot be set as the prescribed value even at its maximum light quantity, then the sensor is judged to be dirty. If the output is unusually high, the sensor is judged to be damaged. 2) Light Quantity Adjustment Light Quantity Adjustment is performed just before formation of the toner density control patch when ADC is activated. Light is emitted at the currently set LED light quantity, and SENSOR ASSY ADC output is evaluated to see if it is within the fixed range. If the output value is low, the fixed value for light quantity is increased the next time ADC is activated. If the output value is high, the fixed value for light quantity is reduced the next time ADC is activated. At this time, if the value falls to the first minimum limit, the sensor is judged to be dirty and an alarm is sounded. If the value falls to the second minimum limit, the sensor is judged to be dirty and printing is stopped.

2.8.4.4 Admix Mode


There are times when High Area Coverage Mode will not be able to fully counteract low density of toner inside the developer. In another case, by bringing the printer to a location with low humidity after using it in an area of high humidity, SENSOR ASSY ADC (PL6.1.11) measured values and toner density standard values will differ greatly because the toner density standard values will change with each environment. To handle this, Admix Mode prevents a drop in toner density by activating toner dispensing when the toner density control patch measurements taken by the SENSOR ADC ASSY at the time of patch formation greatly falls below the standard value.

An overview of Color Registration Controls shown below. 1) SENSOR ASSY ADC (PL6.1.11) output is measured when there is no toner on the BTR, and the threshold is established. 2) A Color Registration Control patch is formed on the BTR surface. The patch consists of a leading black trigger followed by 10mm lines of color in K, C, K, M, K, Y order, repeated four times.

2.8.5 Color Registration Control


This printer uses a dedicated drum and developer for each of the colors yellow, magenta, cyan and black. Images are formed on each drum, and when they are layered on top of each other, some gaps in the quantity needed for each color can occur. To avoid this, Color Registration Control calculates the registration gaps and adjusts the timing of writing from the ROS.

C H E C K P O IN T

The Color Registration Control explained in this section makes adjustments to avoid color gaps in the secondary scan direction (paper transport direction). During process control, adjustments are made according to moment by moment changes in printer internal temperature and number of print pages. Because control is based on conditions in the printer, adjustment by manual operation is not possible. To avoid color gaps in the primary scan direction that are not influenced by the printer's internal conditions, make adjustments from the control panel. (Refer to Chapter 6.6.5 "Color Registration Adjustment")

4) Cancellation of BTR Worklife Warning and BTR Worklife Error The SENSOR TNR FULL does not detect that the collection space is full when the power is turned on or the front door is closed, the BTR Worklife Warning or BTR Worklife Error output will be cancelled.

2.8.6 BTR ASSY (PL9.1.2) Control


2.8.6.1 Detection of BTR ASSY (PL9.1.2) Position
Detection of the BTR ASSY position occurs whenever the power is turned on or the front cover is closed. Position detection is made by the SENSOR ASSY ADC, not by a sensor specialized for the task. A fixed quantity of light is emitted from the LED of the SENSOR ASSY ADC, and SENSOR ASSY ADC output above a fixed value determines the if the BTR is in the correct position. When stopped for a paper jam, there could be a toner image on the BTR, so to prevent an error in detection due to low sensor output, when the set value is not met the BTR is rotated half a revolution. When the SENSOR ASSY ADC output is above the fixed value, the BTR is judged to be in position, and when the fixed value cannot be obtained, the BTR is judged to be not in the correct position. NOTE: When the BTR ASSY is not in place, "Install Transfer Unit" and an error message will be displayed on the LCD panel.

2.8.6.2 Detection of BTR ASSY (PL9.1.2) Worklife Expiration


The BTR ASSY is made up of the BTR and the waste toner collection system, and it detects expiration of worklife by detecting when the waster toner collection space becomes full. The SENSOR TNR FULL (PL6.1.13) detects the full condition of the toner collection space. 1) Timing for checking of waste toner collection space condition Whenever the power is turned on or the front cover is closed Whenever paper is discharged 2) Output of BTR Worklife Warning When the SENSOR TNR FULL detects that the collection space is full, the BTR Worklife Warning is output. 3) Output of BTR Worklife Error After a BTR Worklife Warning is output, the number of prints made and the toner dispense time is calculated. If a predetermined value has been exceeded, BTR Worklife Error is output.

This condition is established to prevent erroneous detection that can occur due to position of the film as explained at 2.8.7.1 About SENSOR TONER LOW. 3) Output of No Toner Error After a No Toner Warning is output, the toner dispense time is calculated. If a predetermined value has been exceeded, No Toner Error is output. 4) Cancellation of No Toner Warning and No Toner Error After output of No Toner Error , toner dispense is activated for 1.5 seconds when the toner bottle installation is confirmed. After this, if SENSOR TONER LOW detects toner in accordance with toner presence/absence timing control, the No Toner Warning or No Toner Error will be cancelled. However, in this case, the printer continues to recognize this as a No Toner condition. When the SENSOR TONER LOW detects the presence of toner three times in a row while toner is dispensing, the printer will revert to the Toner Present condition.

2.8.7 Toner Control


Installation of the toner bottle is detected by the SWITCH TCRU ASSY (PL12.2.10), and the presence/absence of toner in the bottle is detected by the SENSOR TONER LOW (PL12.2.9). There is a set of these sensors for each color, and each functions separately.

2.8.7.1 About SENSOR TONER LOW (PL12.2.9)


A SENSOR TONER LOW is installed for each color, but the printer cannot monitor each color at the same time, so checking is done one at a time. Checking of each color takes 3.5 seconds, so the total time for all four colors is 14 seconds. A single check for toner presence/absence of all four colors takes 14 seconds. The SENSOR TONER LOW is installed in the HOLDER ASSY (PL12.2.5~8), and it detects presence/absence of dispensed toner inside the HOLDER ASSY as it is transported from the toner bottle by the Toner Motor. Because material sticking to the SENSOR TONER LOW surface can cause it to malfunction, it is cleaned by an installed film inside the HOLDER ASSY near the Auger when toner is being dispensed. This film rotates with the Auger when toner is dispensed, cleaning toner from the surface of SENSOR TONER LOW. When the Toner Motor is stopped, however, the film may be positioned in such a way that toner presence may be judged even though there is no toner and toner absence may be judged when there is actually toner available. This misjudgment is avoided by the control functions inside the printer.

2.8.7.2 Toner Presence/Absence Control


An overview of Toner Presence/Absence Control is shown below. 1) Activation Timing Whenever the power is turned on or the front cover is closed Every 14 seconds 2) Output of No Toner Warning The No Toner Warning is output when SENSOR TONER LOW detects the absence of toner twice in a row, provided that the Toner Dispense was active between those two detections.

intervals are opened after a set number of pages, and because the number of pages output in one minute is reduced, this method is called PPM DOWN. PPM DOWN is activated on the basis of paper size or paper class.

2.8.8 Fuser Control


2.8.8.1 Fuser Temperature Control
A target temperature is set, and the Fuser Temperature Control turns ON/OFF the HEATER LAMP to constantly keep the temperature of the HEAT ROLL surface at the target temperature. The temperature of the HEAT ROLL surface is detected by the TEMP SENSOR. The TEMP SENSOR detects the temperature for a period of 40ms, activated alternately with disconnection that is controlled by observance of the resistance value. In this way, the temperature detection cycle is 80ms, and when the temperature is found to be above the target temperature, the HEATER LAMP is turned OFF, and when the temperature is found to be below the target temperature, the HEATER LAMP is turned ON. The set temperature targets are different according printer status, such as when it is inactive, printing, or executing the print process. In addition, the target temperature changes according to the internal printer temperature detected by SENSOR HUM TEMP (PL4.2.4) (temperature and humidity sensor), by the print volume, by the Print Mode, and by the power source input voltage.

2.8.8.2 COOL DOWN


When printing jobs are intermittent, heat distribution on the HEAT ROLL becomes uneven because of paper conveyance and paper stopping components. To keep the HEAT ROLL temperature as even as possible, HEATER LAMP activation wait times are established. This is the COOL DOWN function. COOL DOWN is only activated during a series of pages printed in a certain class/size or for an amount of time determined by the number of pages printed in the series when such a print job has been completed. In addition, COOL DOWN will activate midway through a print job of several hundred pages even when the paper class/size is changed. PPM DOWN (Pages Per Minute Down) is a simplification of COOL DOWN. This technique also seeks to improve even temperature distribution on the HEAT ROLL, and it accomplishes this by establishing non-loaded rotation time for the FUSER when paper is not being conveyed between prints. When a series print job at a certain paper class/size is being done, page

3.1 Overview
After confirming the problem and carrying out preliminary checks, you should take advantage of FIP (Fault Isolation Procedure), and the information in Chapter 2: OPERATING PRINCIPLE and Chapter 7: APPENDIX to troubleshoot efficiently.

3.1.2 Preliminary Checks


Check the following before troubleshooting: 1. 2. Make sure that the power source voltage is within the specifications. (Measure the voltage at the electrical outlet.) Make sure that the power cord (PL15.1.9) is not damaged, shorted or disconnected, and that there are no incorrect connections inside the power cord. Make sure that the printer is properly grounded. Avoid setting up the printer in places that are exposed to high temperatures, excessive humidity, low temperatures, low humidity and sudden changes in temperature. Avoid setting up the printer near water lines, humidifiers, heat-radiating equipment, sources of fire, and in places that are exposed to excessive dust or where it might be directly exposed to air from air conditioners. Avoid setting up the printer in places where volatile or inflammable gases are produced. Avoid setting up the printer in places that are exposed to direct sunlight. The printer should be set up in a well-ventilated area. The printer should be set up on a stable, level surface.

3.1.3 Precautions When Performing Work


1. Be sure to unplug the POWER CORD (PL15.1.9) except when necessary when performing work.
W A R N IN G

When the printer power is turned on, never touch parts that power is being applied to other than when required to as a part of working. The power switch/inlet of the LVPS (PL15.1.10) has power applied even when the printer power is turned off, so never touch these parts at any time.

2.

When carrying out work with the covers off, the interlock and safety switches on and the power turned on, make sure that you disconnect the connector (P/ J151) of the ROS Assy (PL11.1.1) or remove the PHD Assy (PL11.1.3) to prevent laser radiation from being emitted, particularly when these components are not needed.
W A R N IN G

When carrying out work with the covers off, the interlock and safety switches on and the power turned on, dangerous laser radiation is emitted by the ROS Assy, so always be sure to disconnect the connector (P/J151) of the ROS Assy (PL11.1.1) or remove the PHD Assy (PL11.1.3) when these components are not needed.

3.

When carrying out work with the left cover removed and the power turned on, make sure that you disconnect the connector (P/J5011) of the HVPS SUB board (PL12.1.9), particularly when this component is not needed.
W A R N IN G

When carrying out work with the left cover removed and the power turned on, a voltage is output from the HVPS SUB board, so make sure that you disconnect the HVPS SUB connector (P/J5011). If FIP requires the HVPS SUB connector (P/J5011) to be connected, never touch the HVPS SUB board and other components that output high voltages.

Overview
This printer can perform test print as a operation check by engine itself. The printer prints a test print pattern with built-in engine function.

Test Print Method


1. 2. Remove the PWB Controller. (Refer to Chapter 4.2.19 "CONTROLLER BOARD".) Put standard A4 paper in Tray 1 and turn the power ON.
C A U T IO N

Figure 3-1. Test Print Procedure Test Print Patterns


The test print pattern is printed at 600 dpi in a stair step pattern generated at horizontal and vertical intervals of 128 dots for each of the black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M) and yellow (Y) colors, in that order. NOTE: The lines printed in vertical direction (paper feeding direction) becomes notched with this pattern. (This is not an irregularity with the print out.)

While performing the following step, absolutely DO NOT touch electrified or moving components.

3.

Short circuit the 2 pins of the test print connector (P31) on the PWBA MCU & HVPS. The location of the test print connector is shown in Figure 3-1.

NOTE: Use some conductive object; like a tip of screwdriber to shortcircuit the pins. 4. After the printer has switch to READY Mode, start the print operation. (A double-sided print operation will be performed.)

NOTE: Refer to Chapter 2.7.2 "Operation Mode" about READY Mode. 5. To stop the print operation, remove the conductive object from the pins.

NOTE: Tray 1 is set as the paper supply, so if there is no paper in Tray 1, the print operation cannot be performed. NOTE: If the printer is in error state after power on, the print operation will not start.

10. When measuring voltages inside the FIP, the minus-side P/J3-4 at the rear is always set to SG (signal ground) or RTN (return). Because of this, after checking that both the SG and RTN lines are conducting correctly, the rear mines-side can be connected to some other SG and RTN terminals instead of the P/J3-4 connector. However, SG and RTN are not always necessarily at the same level, so be careful not to connect them incorrectly.
11. The special tool should be use to measure voltage for compact connectors. The tip of the tool is sharp, and so it should be handled with care.

3.1.5 Precautions When Using FIP


1. When carrying out troubleshooting for the FIP, it is assumed that the PWB Controller is functioning normally, so if the problems cannot be fixed by carrying out troubleshooting, try replacing the printer controller with a normal part. If the problems cannot be fixed by carrying out troubleshooting using the 3.3.4 Image Quality Troubleshooting FIP, check the symptoms while replacing parts in the order given in "Related Parts". When using the FIP to carry out troubleshooting, there are times when parts such as the PWBA MCU & HVPS and PHD Assy that are known to be working normally are required in order to identify causes of problems, and so such parts should be made ready beforehand. The "Initial Check" function of the FIP should be used to make basic level checks. The "Initial Check" function of the FIP should be used to check structural parts and parts related to the main parts to be checked, as well as the main parts themselves. Always disconnect the power cord when carrying out work, unless there is a reason for it to be connected. Furthermore, when the power cord is connected, never touch parts that power is being applied to other than when required to as a part of working. The following indications are used for connectors.

3.3.4 Image Quality Troubleshooting FIP


NOTE: This section contains instructions for troubleshooting when the printer controller is operating normally. However, it is possible to tell basically if there is a problem with the printer controller or with the engine itself by carrying out a test print using just the printer engine, except for some problems which cannot be checked by means of a test print. If the print test using the engine is normal There is a problem with the printer controller. If the print test using the engine also shows a problem There is a problem with the printer engine. If the problem is judged to be with the printer controller, replace the printer controller with a normal part and re-check. If the problem still occurs after the printer controller has been replaced, check the host computer, and then use the following image quality FIP classified by trouble symptoms to carry out troubleshooting more efficiently. If problems occur with the image quality of printouts, make a printout using an A4 page and use the image quality FIP table classified by trouble symptoms to make an accurate judgment and to get a proper understanding of the problem so that troubleshooting can be carried out effectively. If the problem cannot be fixed using the image quality FIP, repeat the check procedure once more using the image quality FIP, and then check by replacing parts in the order given in the "Related parts" section of the image quality FIP, and also use the specifications section to carry out troubleshooting. Check that all assemblies are properly grounded. The image quality FIP contains instructions on diagnosing the following basic image quality problems.

4.1.1 Precautions for Disassembly and Assembly


Precautions for disassembly and assembly are as follows:
W A R N IN G

Before starting, be sure to turn the printer off and unplug the power cable from the AC power socket. As this printer weighs as much as 36.5 Kg , make sure that it is always carried carefully by 4 people or more. When working on the FUSER ASSY or nearby parts, be sure to wait until the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level. When printing, make sure that all the outer covers are installed. In case you need to print before assembling, note the cautions below: 1. Be careful not to get your hands and clothes caught in the rotating parts such as rollers and cooling fans. 2. Never touch any electrical terminal or high voltage components such as HVPS and LVPS. Use anti-static devices such as wrist straps in order to avoid static electric discharges when touching internal components, in order to protect the microprocessor and order circuits. When servicing, avoid handling any parts forcibly. Doing so might damage the parts and cause printer malfunction. Various types of screws are used to assemble the printer, and wrong usage might crush tapped hole and cause troubles. Therefore, be sure to mount the right screws to the specified positions.

4.1.3 Items to Check after Assembly


Performs the items described below when completing assembly after repairing the printer or replace any parts. Clean the housings and the interior of the engine. Refer to chapter 6. After assembling or adjust the printer, print an engine status sheet to check the counters for the consumables and other parts which need replacing. If any of them is close to its life, replace it with a new one. Check the program ROM version, and update it if necessary. Refer to Section 4.2.3. Print several status sheets and check print quality. Send a few pages of data from the host computer and check for proper functions of the printer.
