SERVICE MANUAL
!IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the printer and peripherals,
make sure that the printer power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the printer and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off
or open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified
or mechanically driven components.
4. The printer drives some of its components when it completes the warm-up
period. Be careful to keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical
components as the printer starts operation.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while
the printer 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

1. The printer and its peripherals must be serviced by a customer service
representative who has completed the training course on those models.
2. The NVRAM module (option) installed on the controller has a lithium battery
which can explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace the NVRAM only with an
identical one. The manufacturer recommends replacing the entire NVRAM.
Do not recharge or burn this battery. Used NVRAM must be handled in
accordance with local regulations.
3. The optional fax and memory expansion units contain lithium batteries,
which can explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or an
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Do not recharge or burn
the batteries. Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local
regulations.
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, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the
organic photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These are
non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
4. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not
put more than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or not
sealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat build-up.
5. Dispose of used fusing oil 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
WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the
procedures in the Laser Optics Housing Unit section. Laser
beams can seriously damage your eyes.

feed unit or LCT, remove the two stands with the following procedure.
[A]
G080I910.WMF
[B]
G080I911.WMF
1. Remove all trays in the optional paper feed unit or LCT.

2. Remove the front stand [A] (! x 2).
3. Remove the rear stand [B] (! x 2, 2 brackets).
CAUTION: Reinstall the two stands in their original positions, or the machine might
tip over when drawing out the paper trays and so on.

17 January, 2003 NOTES FOR TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
1.5.2 MACHINE BODY
Installation
!CAUTION
Fix the transfer belt in its position before moving the machine, otherwise
the transfer belt and the black PCU may be damaged.
Before transporting the machine for both short and long hauls, return it to its
original condition.
1. Remove the toner cartridges to prevent toner from flowing into the toner supply
tube due to vibrations experienced during transport. This may cause the tube to
be clogged with toner.
2. Put air packing into the toner cartridge holder to shield the toner supply
entrance. This prevents toner from flowing out to the toner cartridge holder.
3. Set the lock pin (which comes with the machine) in the transfer belt unit.
NOTE: The lower end of the transfer belt moves. The surfaces of the belt and
PCU may be damaged by the friction between them if you transport the
machine without locking the belt.
4. Make sure there is no paper left in the paper trays and fix down the bottom
plates with a sheet of paper and tape.
5. Empty out the waste toner bottle and attach securing tape to prevent the bottle
from coming out.
6. Empty out the waste oil bottle and attach securing tape to prevent the bottle
from coming out.
[A]
G080I904.WMF
7. Turn the release lever [A] counterclockwise to its lowermost position. (The lever
does not stay in this position if you do not hold it.) Stick the lever in this position
with tape.
NOTE: The release lever lifts the transfer belt up and presses it against the
black PCU. The surfaces of the belt and PCU may be damaged by the
friction between them if you transport the machine with the two units in
this position.
1-11
NOTES FOR TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE 17 January, 2003
8. Attach shipping tape to the covers and doors, or shrink-wrap the machine
tightly.
NOTE: 1) If pre-installing machines for some test prints at a service depot, use a
jig oil supply unit, and not the oil supply unit enclosed as an accessory.
This is because the toner supply system uses a touch-and-release

mechanism, which can cause the unit to move freely up and down
during transport if shipping the mainframe with the oil supply unit
installed. This in turn may cause damage to the white holder on the
fusing unit. However if simply moving the machine from floor to floor, the
oil supply unit can be left installed.
2) If shipping a used machine to a new location, dispose of the used oil

supply unit and install a new one because of the reason explained
above. This is not necessary when simply moving the machine from
floor to floor.
3) Whenever having moved the machine to a new location, be sure to

perform Auto Adjust (User Program mode) or forced Line Position
Adjustment (SP5-993-002) to optimize color line alignment.
4) Make sure that the side fences in the trays are properly positioned to
prevent color shifting.

3.2.2 COLOR REGISTRATION

Line Position Adjustment
Normally, the automatic line position adjustment is executed under a specified
condition to optimize the color prints. If color registration shifts, execute “Auto
Adjust” with the user tools (Maintenance menu – Color registration) or SP5-993-2
to do the forced line position adjustment. In addition, it is recommended to perform
the line position adjustment under the following conditions:
• After transporting or moving the printer (If printers are pre-installed at the
workshop and transported to the user location, forced line position adjustment
should be done after printer installation is completed at the user location.)
• When opening the drum positioning plate
• When removing or replacing the motors, clutches, and/or gears related to the
drum/development/transfer sections
• When removing or replacing the transfer belt or laser optical housing unit
Adjustment of Line Speed for Thick Paper

You must adjust the line speed of the fusing unit (the speed of development motor-
K) under the following conditions:
• The color registration shifts more on the trailing edge than on the leading
edge.
• This problem has not been solved by the line position adjustment.
Use the following user tool for this adjustment:
• Menu/Maintenance/Color Regist./Fuser Adjust/Thick paper

IMAGE ADJUSTMENT 17 January, 2003
3.2.3 PRINTER GAMMA

NOTE: Normally, the printer gamma is enough to adjust the color balance to
achieve the optimum print output. The gamma correction is only required
for fine-tuning to meet the user requirements.
Adjustment Overview
Make the gradation scales on the printout smooth from the highlight to the shadow
density. Adjust the CMY gradation scale at the top of the chart by balancing the
density of the C, M, and Y gradation scales – the CMY gray scale should change
smoothly from minimum to maximum, and there should be no coloration.
For each color, you can adjust 15 points between 0 (lowest density) and 255
(highest density).
The gradation scales marked “Default Value” are printed according to the default
gamma settings. The gamma adjustment changes the densities at the adjustable
points in the gradation scale. The gradation scale marked “Current Value” shows
the current settings.
During the adjustment procedure, compare the “Current Value” gradation scale
with the “Default Value” Select the density for each of the 15 adjustable points,
excluding points 0 and 255, from the “Default Value” gradation scale.
The NVRAM holds three printer gamma settings, those saved this time (Current),
those saved in the preceding adjustment (Previous), and the factory settings
(Factory).
Adjustment Procedure
1. Enter SP mode.
2. Select “1. Service”
3. Select “Data Recall” and load the settings that will serve as the base for the
adjustment.
4. Select “Mode Selection”, and select the print mode that you are going to adjust.
5. To review the image quality for these settings, choose “Test Page” to print out a
color calibration test sheet.
6. Select “Gamma Adj.”
7. Adjust the color density at each of the 15 points for a color (CMY and K).
8. When the density setting is complete for all colors, print out a color calibration
test sheet again and make sure that the gradation scale for each printed color
is smooth and that the CMY gradation scale is gray. Repeat the adjustment if
there is an anomaly.
9. If the adjustment results prove satisfactory, execute “Data Save.”

4.4.2 COLOR SHIFT

The following briefly explain the factors causing color shifts and what to do on the machine to correct it:
• Temperature change causes the optical components in the laser
optics housing unit to contract, causing the main scan The black development motor drives
magnification to change. To correct the line position, the machine the registration rollers, and the motor
automatically does the line position adjustment when the speed is adjustable in SP mode.
temperature changes by 5°C since the last position adjustment.
If the line position adjustment functions properly, no color shift
occurs. If the line position adjustment fails (result: SP5-993-007),
color lines may shift anywhere on the outputs.
• The process speed at each stage (registration roller, transfer belt,
and fusing belt/roller) affects the paper transport speed. If the
paper transport speed changes during image transfer of a color,
the color line being transferred shifts with respect to the color line
already transferred to the paper. The registration roller speed The black drum motor drives

of the side fences.

Adjustment Standard: Max. 180 µm

As a machine capability, the maximum amount of color shift is 180µm. Adjusting the SP modes (motor speed, registration, and
magnification) can improve the color shifts level; however, there is a limit.
Preparation
When color shift is reported, the following procedure should be done before adjusting the machine and/or SP modes.
NOTE: The line position adjustment cannot correct the color shift if the gap between the color lines is 2 mm or greater. In this
case, restore the factory settings in the following SP modes and perform the line position adjustment. Then, follow the
troubleshooting procedure if required.
• Main-scan Registration SP2-909-01 to 04
• Sub-scan Registration SP2-916-01 to 10
• Main-scan Magnification SP2-103-55 to 59
1. Print out the SMC sheets (SP5-990-002).

2. Do the forced line position adjustment (SP5-993-002 or ‘Auto Adjust’ in the User Program mode).
NOTE: Make sure that the result (SP5-993-007) is “0101”. If not, solve the problem by referring
to pages 4-2 and 4-3.
3. Print a 1-dot grid pattern using A3/11" x 17" paper. Refer to the following table for the detailed SP mode settings.

NOTE: When making prints on thick paper from the by-pass tray, the type of paper should be selected in the User Program
mode. Any adjustment needs to be done by using the type of paper that the customer normally uses.
4-52
4. Check the tendency of color shift in the grid pattern printed in step 3. Sometimes, a magnification scope must be used to
measure the amount of color shift between colors.
5. Take the required action explained in each section depending on the type of color shift.
6. Do the ‘Auto Adjust’ in the User Program mode after the adjustment is done in step 5, and check the result.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until the color shift is acceptable.

When using a magnification scope, measure
the gap [A] between the two lines. Measure
from the same place on each line. For
example (see the illustration), measure
between the left edges of the lines.

means that the registration roller speed is too
high for the paper used. Therefore, the
registration roller speed needs to be reduced
by decreasing the setting (percentage) of

4.4.3 COLOR SHIFT AFTER TRANSFER UNIT REPLACEMENT

If the color shift level is not within the target range (max 180µm) after replacing the
transfer unit and performing the forced line position adjustment (SP5-993-002 or
‘Auto Adjust’ in User Program Mode), follow the procedure explained below.
Check the color shift level

1. Make sure that OPC Refresh (SP3-920-005) has been done.
2. Print out the SMC sheets (SP5-990-002).
3. Print a 1-dot grid pattern using A3/11" x 17" paper. Refer to the following table
for detailed SP mode settings.

1. Remove all PCUs. Place them on clean sheets of paper and cover the drums
with a few sheets of paper to prevent the drums from light fatigue. Then, secure
the drum positioning plate (2 screws) and return the transfer unit release lever
to the original position.
2. Perform the transfer belt idling with SP5-804-074 (Drum M H CW) for about 3
minutes. (This is to stabilize the transfer belt side-to-side movement.)
3. Reinstall the PCUs.
4. Perform the line position adjustment (SP5-993-002 or ‘Auto Adjust’ in User
Program mode).
5. Print a 1-dot grid pattern using A3/11" x 17" paper in 600 dpi mode.

4.4.4 BLACK OVER PRINT

Black Over Print prevents unexpected white lines from appearing when black
letters or lines are printed with color background. You can enable or disable this
feature from the printer driver (default: disabled).
When it is enabled, Black Over Print has the following unpleasant side effects:
• Crispness may deteriorate because the black toner spreads out.
• More toner is consumed.
• The background color may be seen through black letters or lines.

cartridge. Each sensor outputs “0” when it detects
toner in the toner path, or outputs “1” when it does
not detect toner. The signal is “1” if toner is not
passing through the path even though the toner
cartridge contains toner. These signals, “0” and
“1”, are periodically checked and used to calculate
the signal average. When enough toner is in the
cartridge, the signal average is a smaller value
(“0” or its vicinity). When toner is insufficient, the
average is a larger value (“1” or its vicinity).

If the current is increased too much, the following image problems may occur depending
on the humidity.
High humidity:
Insufficient image transfer in magenta due to current flow to the magenta OPC drum
Low humidity:
Offset image in magenta halftone areas due to paper charged positive too much
When adjusting the current with this SP mode, the value should be lower than transfer
current.

802 [PA Cur. Size] Paper Attraction Roller Current - Paper Size Correction
Paper Type -> N: Normal, TH: Thick, OHP
Adjusts the correction, depending on the paper size.

When small-width paper is used for printing, the paper attraction roller current flows to the
non-image areas of OPC drum where the transfer belt touches the drum. This may cause
paper misfeed due to insufficient current.
To increase the current by 1.5 times, set the SP mode to “15”.
NOTE: Adjust only when a paper misfeed occurs with a small paper size. Increasing the
current too much may cause image offset in magenta halftone areas.

1 Temperature *BCU This SP determines the temperature threshold for
determining whether refresh mode is done just
after the machine is switched on.
The charge roller generates NOx (nitrogen
oxides), and these contaminate the OPC drum

Just after the main switch is turned on, if the
temperature measured by both the thermistor
located at the right side on the laser optics
housing unit and the temperature/humidity sensor
is greater than the temperature specified in this
SP mode, refresh mode is done before initial
process control.
During refresh mode, toner is developed on the
OPC with 50V development potential and cleaned
to remove NOx. This cycle is repeated a few
times.

1: Enabled
Enable this SP mode when dirty background
and/or firefly spots appear intermittently on prints
with a low image area ratio.
While making prints with a low image area ratio,
developer is agitated with less toner supplied. This
may cause the toner-carrier attraction force to
increase or toner to coagulate.
This sometimes causes firefly spots or dirty
background when a large amount of toner is
supplied.
NOTE: When enabling this SP mode, the following
SP modes should be changed.
SP3-906-001 Job End Process Control Self-check

921 [Forced Tnr Ref] Forced Toner Refresh
Perform forced toner refresh mode.
When the developer has deteriorated or when prints are made in a very low humidity
condition, dirty background may appear continuously.
When this kind of dirty background appears, check whether or not the development
gamma is within the target (SP3-120 and 121). If the development gamma is not within the
target, do this SP mode.
The machine automatically does the toner refresh mode in the following sequence.
1. Consumes toner in the development unit without toner supply until toner end is
detected
2. Starts toner recovery mode.
3. Starts process control self-check.
NOTE: If toner is drastically consumed for a short time, this may cause carrier to flow out.
To prevent this, toner is consumed over a long period of time. (It takes about 20 minutes to
complete this toner refresh mode).

9 Error Counter *BCU Displays how many times errors have been
detected during the line position adjustment.
The way that the auto line position adjustment is done can be adjusted using the following
SP modes (SP5-993-010 to 021). These are coefficients used for the adjustment.
Normally, do not change except if the automatic adjustment gives poor results immediately
after installing a new optics housing unit. Change the value then do a forced line position
adjustment (SP 5-993-2) to check the effects of the changes.
Example: If magenta is always shifted one dot to the left, reduce 5-993-11 by 1.

Oil supply unit: When the R% counter reaches
100%, it enters the near-end condition, not the
end condition. The end condition occurs some
number of rotations after this (not adjustable).
NOTE: The machine internally adjusts or
compensates as necessary, depending on
conditions of machine usage. Due to this,
at the oil supply unit near-end condition,

Detailed
This machine uses four PCUs, four development units, and four laser beams for
color printing. Each PCU consists of a drum, charge roller, cleaning brush, and
blade. From the left, the PCU stations are black, yellow, cyan, and magenta.
A transfer belt feeds paper past the PCUs, and the toner image on each drum is
transferred to the paper.
The paper path is inclined about 38 degrees to make the machine as compact as
possible.
6-7
Drum charge:
The charge roller gives the drum a negative charge
Laser exposure:
The laser beam from the laser diode (LD) goes through the lens and mirrors and
reaches the drum. The machine creates a latent image on the drum by turning the
laser beam on and off.
Development:
The development roller carries negatively charged toner to the latent image on the
drum surface. This machine uses four independent development units (one for
each color).
Image transfer:
The charge applied to the transfer roller attracts the toner from the drum to the
paper. Four toner images are super-imposed onto the paper.
Cleaning for OPC drum:
The cleaning brush and blade remove any toner remaining on the drum surface
after image transfer to the paper.
Quenching for OPC drum:
Quenching is done by illuminating the whole area of the drum with the laser at the
end of every job.
Paper attraction:
Paper is attracted to the transfer belt by the charge applied to the paper attraction
roller.
Separation:
Paper separates from the transfer belt when the belt curves away from it.
Cleaning and quenching for transfer belt:
The cleaning brush and blade clean the belt surface. The grounding roller inside
the transfer belt unit removes the remaining charge on the belt.
ID sensor:
The ID sensor board contains three ID sensors (one at the front, center, and rear).
The ID sensor detects the density of the ID sensor pattern on the transfer belt. The
ID sensor output is used for process control and for automatic line position, skew,
and color registration adjustments for the latent image.

• Three ID (image density) sensors (front, center, and rear). Only the center ID
sensor is used for process control. The front, center, and rear ID sensors are
used for line positioning and other adjustments.
• TD (toner density) sensor.
6.2.2 POTENTIAL CONTROL

Overview
Potential control controls development to maintain the density of the toner images
on the drums. It does this by compensating for variations in drum chargeability and
toner density.
The machine uses the ID sensor to measure the reflectivity of the transfer belt and
the density of a standard sensor pattern. This is done during the process control
self check.
The machine determines the following depending on the ID sensor output and a
reference table in memory.
Descriptions
• VD: Drum potential without exposure – to adjust this, the machine adjusts the
Detailed
charge roller voltage.
• VB: Development bias
• VL: Drum potential at the strongest exposure – to adjust this, the machine
adjusts the laser power.
(In addition, VREF is corrected. This is used for toner supply control.)
This process controls the development potential so that the maximum amount of
toner applied to the drum is constant. However, to control the development
potential to improve reproduction of highlight parts of images, the laser power
control method can be changed. This depends on the setting of SP3-125-2. The
default setting is 1 (normal control method). To change to the highlight range
control method, set this SP to 2.
If SP3-125-1 is set to 0 (Off), the machine does not do the potential control, but
uses the development bias adjusted with SP2-201-1 to -9, the charge roller voltage
adjusted with SP2-001-1 to -9, and the laser power selected with SP2-103-1 to -27.
However, these SPs should normally not be adjusted in the field.

PROCESS CONTROL 17 January, 2003
Process Control Self Check

This machine carries out potential control using a procedure called the process
control self check. There are seven types of process control self check, categorized
according to their execution timing.
1. Forced
This is done when SP3-126-1 is used.
2. Initial
This starts automatically when the power is turned on or when recovering from
energy saver mode, but only if the fusing unit pressure roller temperature is
60°C or less.
3. Interval: Job End
This starts automatically at the end of a print job when the total print counter for
this feature exceeds 200 (this can be changed with SP3-906-1). After any
process control is done (except for forced process control), the counters are
reset to “0.”
4. Interval: Interrupt (default: not done)
This interrupts printing and then starts automatically when the machine makes
a certain number (A) of continuous color prints in the same job and the main
scan length detection is executed. After it is completed, the machine continues
to make prints.
The value A can be adjusted with SP3-906-2 (default: off).
At this time, only VREF is corrected. Potential control (VD, VB, VL correction) is
not done.
5. Non-use Time (default: not done)
This starts before the next print job if the machine has no job for a certain time
(M) after it makes more than a certain number (N) of prints.
M is adjusted with SP3-906-4 and N is adjusted with SP3-906-3.
6. After Toner End Recovery
This starts after recovery from a toner end condition.
7. After Developer Initialization
This starts after a developer initialization is done. Developer initialization occurs
automatically after a new development unit has been installed.

Step 1: VSG Adjustment

This machine uses three ID sensors (direct reflection type). They are located at the
front, center, and rear of the transfer unit. Only the center ID sensor is used for
process control. The ID sensor checks the bare transfer belt's reflectivity and the
machine calibrates the ID sensor until its output (known as VSG) is as follows.
• VSG = 4.0 ± 0.5 Volts
This calibration compensates for the transfer belt's condition and the ID sensor
condition, such as dirt on the surface of the belt or ID sensor.

Step 2: ID Sensor Solid Pattern Generation
12 mm
15 mm

Transfer belt
G080D905.WMF
The machine agitates the developer for between 15 and 60 seconds until the
fluctuation in TD sensor output becomes less than 0.3V, and then makes a 5-grade
pattern on the transfer belt for each toner color. The pattern consists of 5 squares
(the sequence is as follows: 5 black squares, 5 yellow squares, 5 cyan squares,
and 5 magenta squares). Each of the squares is 12 mm x 15 mm, and is a solid-
color square. They are made by changing the development bias and charge roller
voltage. The difference between development bias and charge roller voltage is
always the same.
Step 3: Sensor Pattern Detection

The ID sensor detects the densities of the 5 solid-color squares for each color. This
data goes to memory.
Step 4: Toner Amount Calculation

The amount of toner on the transfer belt (M/A, mass per unit area, mg/cm2) is
calculated for each of the 5 grades of the sensor pattern from the ID sensor output
value from each grade of the pattern.

The machine determines the relationship between the amount of toner on the
transfer belt and the development bias for each of the 5 grades. The machine now
selects the development bias and charge roller voltages for the target M/A for each
color by referring to a table in memory.
The way that the laser power (VL) is selected depends on the setting of SP3-125-2.
• If it is set to 0, the LD power is fixed at the value of SP2-103-1, to -27.

• If it is set to 1, LD power is selected using the same memory table as mentioned
above.
• If it is set to 2, LD power is determined by ID sensor highlight pattern generation
(steps 6 to 8 later in this procedure).
The machine also adjusts VREF (toner density target) at the same time so that the
development gamma detected by process control will be the value stored in SP3-

After that, the transfer belt cleaning unit cleans the transfer belt.
Allowable changes to VD, VB, and VL as a result of process control:

This depends on the process control type as follows.
• Forced : No limit
• Initial, After Developer Initialization: ± 80 volts
• Interval (Job End/ Non-use Time/ During Toner End Recovery): ± 40 volts
• Interval (Interrupt): Constant (The memory table is not used.)
Steps 6 to 8 are carried out only if SP3-125-2 is set to 2. (Default: Steps 6 to 8
are not used)

The machine makes a 5-grade pattern on the transfer belt for each toner color. The
pattern consists of 5 squares. Each of the squares is 12 mm x 15 mm, and is a dot-
pattern squares (not solid-color squares like in the process of step 2). They are
made using constant bias and charge roller voltages selected from one of the types
mentioned above, and the various grades are made sby changing the LD power.
Step 7: Sensor Pattern Density Detection

The ID sensor detects the densities of the 5 dot-pattern squares for each color.
This data goes to memory.
Step 8: VL (LD Power) Selection

The machine determines the relationship M/A
between the amount of toner on the transfer
belt and the laser power for each of the 5
grades. The machine now selects the laser
power to get the target M/A. Target
After that, the transfer belt cleaning unit M/A

The machine generates a highlight pattern (just one grade) of a specified density.
The center ID sensor checks the density and the machine adjusts VREF by
comparing the reading with the target of each color (SP3-905-1 to 4).

6.2.5 TONER SUPPLY CONTROL

Overview
Toner supply control uses the following to determine the amount of toner to be
supplied. This is done before every development for each color.
• Density of the toner in the developer (as detected by the TD sensor) - VREF, VT
• Pixel count
The image density is kept constant by adjusting the density of toner in the
development unit, while accommodating to changes in the development conditions
through the potential control mechanism. Environmental changes and the number
of prints made are also used in the calculation.
The amount of toner supplied is determined by the “on” time of the toner supply
clutch. The total “on” time for each toner supply clutch is stored in the memory chip
for the relevant toner cartridge. The amount of toner supplied also depends on the
process line speed for the current job. The machine supplies the calculated amount
of toner for each color.
Toner Supply Control Modes

This machine has three toner supply control modes. They are selected with SP2-
208-1 to -4.
1. Fuzzy control mode
This is the default toner supply control mode. The TD sensor, ID sensor, and
pixel count are used in this mode.
2. Proportional control mode
This mode is used when the ID sensor at the center becomes faulty. Only the
TD sensor is used to control toner supply. The machine uses the VREF that is
stored in SP2-224-5 to -8.
3. Fixed supply mode
This mode is used when the TD sensor becomes faulty. The amount of toner
supply can be adjusted with SP2-208-5 to -8 if the image density is incorrect
(the default setting is 5%).

Introduction
Toner Near End

To determine the toner near end status, the controller considers the following
information:
• TD sensor [A] in the development unit
Descriptions
Detailed
• Operation time counter of the toner attraction pump [B]
• Memory chip [C] on the toner cartridge
• Toner end sensor [D]
There are two different toner near-end detection procedures (after here, referred to
as “Toner Near End Detection 1” and “Toner Near End Detection 2”). If either of
these detect near end, the machine enters the near-end condition.
Toner End
To determine the toner end status, the controller considers the following
information:
• TD sensor [A] in the development unit
• Pixel counter
6-17
Toner Near End Detection 1

The controller considers the information from the TD sensor.
1) The controller checks that the following condition is satisfied ten times
consecutively:
VREF + 0.4 V < VT
NOTE: The condition can be adjusted with SP2-212.
2) If the above condition is satisfied, toner is
supplied to the development unit. The
message, “Loading Toner...", is displayed. Loading Toner...
3) The controller checks the above condition
again. G080D914.WMF
a) If the condition is satisfied, the controller decides that the machine is in

the toner near end status. The message,
“Toner is Almost Empty Xxxxx", is Toner is Almost
displayed; where “Xxxxx” indicates the Empty: Cyan
color, such as cyan.
G080D915.WMF
b) If the condition is not satisfied, the
controller decides that the machine is not in the toner near end status.
The machine resumes its normal operation.
Toner Near End Detection 2

The controller considers the information from the operation time counter of the
toner attraction pump, the memory chip on the toner bottle, and the toner end
sensor.
1) To calculate the toner amount remaining in the toner cartridge, the controller
considers the operation time counter of the toner attraction pump and the
initial amount of the toner (recorded in the memory chip).
2) If the amount reaches the predefined weight (default: 100 g), the controller
checks the signals from the toner end sensor.
NOTE: The weight can be adjusted with SP2-212-1 and -2.
a) If the signals indicate the toner amount
has fallen to a certain level (determined Toner is Almost
by SP 2-212-12 to -15), the controller Empty: Cyan
decides that the machine is in the toner
G080D915.WMF
near end status. The message, “Toner
is Almost Empty “Xxxxx", is displayed; where “Xxxxx” indicates the color,
such as cyan.
b) If the signals indicate the toner amount is not less than a certain level,
the controller decides that the machine is not in the toner near end status.
The machine resumes its normal operation.
6-18
Toner End Detection

The machine flags the toner end status when one
of the conditions below is detected for a toner Add Toner
color. The message, “Add Toner Xxxxx", is Cyan
displayed; where “Xxxxx” indicates the color,
G080D916.WMF
such as cyan.
• VREF + 0.5 V < VT (ten times consecutively)
• The pixel counter counts up the equivalent of 5 A4 sheets of pixels (100%
coverage) since near-end was detected.
However, if fewer pages have been made since near-end than the number
guaranteed with SP 2-212-11 (default: 10 pages), printing will continue.
NOTE: If one of the following conditions is detected 10 consecutive times, the
machine flags a “toner end condition” regardless of the number of pages
printed since near-end.
• VREF + 1.2 V < VT
• VT > 4.8 V
After the machine detects toner end for black, it cannot print until the toner
cartridge is replaced. If cyan, magenta, or yellow are in a toner end condition
during standby mode, the machine can print with black and white only; color
printing is disabled.
NOTE: If the yellow, cyan, or magenta toner ends during a color printing job, the
job is suspended until toner is supplied. If new color toner is not installed,
the user can print black-and-white jobs but not color jobs.
Toner End Recovery

The machine assumes that the toner cartridge has been replaced if either of the
Descriptions
following occurs when the near-end or end status exists:
Detailed
• The upper right cover is opened and closed.
• The main switch is turned off and on.
The machine then starts to supply toner to the development unit. After supplying
toner, the machine clears the toner near-end or end status if the following
conditions are detected.
• Vt [0] – Vt [3] > 0.5V
• Vt – Vref > 0.3V
6-19
6.2.7 DEVELOPER INITIALIZATION

When the machine detects that a new development unit has been installed, it
initializes the developer.
To do this, the machine agitates the developer for about 100 seconds, and adjusts
VCNT (control voltage for TD sensor) so that VT (TD sensor output) becomes 3.5 ±
0.1 volts. The machine stores this VT as VREF.
VCNT is corrected for the current humidity every print job. VCNT is also corrected for
the total number of prints, to prevent the developer Q/M from varying.
[A]
G080D922.WMF
If the humidity correction is giving poor results (for example, if the humidity sensor
[A] is broken), it can be disabled with SP2-223-2. Then a value for VCNT must be
input manually using SP2-224-1 to -4 (adjust by trial and error).
During developer initialization, the machine forcibly supplies toner because there is
no toner inside the toner transport tube at installation. Then the machine does the
process control self check.

This machine uses four LD units and one polygon mirror motor to produce latent
images on four OPC drums (one drum for each color toner).
There are two hexagonal mirrors. Each mirror reflects beams from two LD units.
The LD unit for black has two laser diodes to do dual beam writing (this is only
done for black-and-white printing; for full color printing, only one of the beams is
used).
Laser exposure for magenta and cyan starts from the rear side of the drum, but for
yellow and black it starts from the front side of the drum. This is because the units
for magenta and cyan are on the other side of the polygon mirror from the units for
yellow and black.

G080D942.WMF
Overview
The machine has four laser synchronizing detector boards (LSD), one at each
corner of the laser optics housing unit.
Descriptions
Detailed
Each pair of boards detects two colors. The machine recognizes each color from
the time that they are detected. The two LSDs at the right [A] are used for magenta
and cyan, and the two [B] at the left are used for yellow and black.
Main Scan Start Detection

For magenta and cyan, the LSD at the rear detects the start of the main scan. For
yellow and black, the LSD at the front detects the start of the main scan.
Clock Frequency Adjustment

Each pair ensures that the number of laser clock pulses in the main scan is
constant. If the count for one particular beam varies from normal, the LD clock
frequency for that beam is adjusted.
If the board at the end position is defective, this cannot be detected. In such case,
you must disable the detection feature with SP2-919-1.

There is a spring [A] at the front end of the black LD unit [E], and there is a
positioning motor [D] at the right end. The spring pushes the unit clockwise, while
the motor pushes it counterclockwise. These two components drive the unit to one
of the following three positions:
• 600-dpi position [➀]
• 1,200-dpi position [➁]
• Home position [➂]
Before it is driven to the 600-dpi position or the 1,200-dpi position, the black LD unit
is set to its home position. When driven from one position to another, the unit goes
as follows:
• 600-dpi position → Home position → 1,200-dpi position
• 1,200-dpi position → Home position → 600-dpi position
The home position is detected by the home position sensor [B]. When the unit is in
its home position, the actuator [C] is out of the sensor. The 600-dpi and 1,200-dpi
positions are determined by the distance from the home position. The distance is
calculated from the operation time of the LD positioning motor.

Printing Mode and Black LD Unit Position

The machine changes the main scan resolution between 600 and 1,200 dpi for
black and white printing by rotating the LD unit, except for OHP sheets and thick
paper (remains at the 600 dpi position).

During automatic line position adjustment, the line patterns above are created eight
times on the transfer belt. The spaces between the lines (YY, KK, CC, MM, KY, KC,
KM) are measured by the front, center, and rear ID sensors. The controller takes
the average of the spaces, and adjusts the following positions and magnification:
• Sub scan line position for YCM
• Main scan line position for KYCM
• Magnification ratio for KYCM
• Skew for YCM
After the patterns are measured, the transfer belt cleaning unit cleans the transfer
belt. If an error is detected three times consecutively, SC285 is generated.
6-28
Summary of Each Adjustment
Sub scan line position for YCM

The adjustment of the sub-scan line position for YCM is based on the line position
for K (color registration). The machine measures the gaps between the lines of
each color in the pattern on the transfer belt. If the gaps for a color are not correct,
the machine moves the image of the color up or down the sub scan axis. To do this,
it changes the laser write timing for that color.
Main scan line position for KYCM

If the machine detects that the image is out of position in the main scan direction, it
changes the laser write start timing for each scan line.
Magnification adjustment for KYCM

If the machine detects that magnification adjustment is necessary, it changes the
LD clock frequency for the required color.
Skew for YCM

The adjustment of the skew for YCM is based on the line position for K.

Adjustment Conditions
Line position adjustment timing depends on several SP mode settings. Among
them, the mode selection, SP5-993-1, takes precedence over the others. The table

Mechanism
The machine uses these sensors to detect if the drum motors rotate. When it
detects that the drum motor is not moving, SC440 appears. These sensors also
help the machine to initialize the relative positions of the gears when turning on the
main switch and initializing. This prevents phase fluctuation between printouts.
There is an interrupter [E] on each of the black [D] and yellow [C] drum gears. The
drum gear position sensors [F][G] detect the positions of these interrupters
respectively. The sensors check that the two interrupters are parallel. This
mechanism makes sure that output quality does not vary. The cyan [B] and
magenta [A] drum gears operate with the yellow drum gear because these three
drum gears are linked through other gears [H][I].
In the ready status, the two interrupters stay in a parallel position. If they are not in
a parallel position (as shown in the illustration), the machine adjusts the position of
the black drum gear.

Initialization Process and SC Codes

When a drum gear position sensor has found an error, SC code 440-1 or 440-2 is

6.4.4 DRUM CHARGE AND QUENCHING
[B]
[A]
G080D948.WMF
This machine uses a non-contact charge roller [A] to reduce ozone. The non-
contact charge roller gives the drum surface a negative charge. The high voltage
supply board – C, B, which is located at the rear of the machine, applies a dc and
ac voltage (at a constant current) to the roller. The ac voltage helps to ensure that
the charge given to the drum is as uniform as possible.
The machine automatically controls the charge roller voltage if automatic process
control is enabled (i.e., if SP3-125-1 is set to 0). However, if process control is
switched off, (i.e., if SP3-125-1 is set to 1), the dc voltage is the value stored in
SP2-001-1 to -9 (do not adjust in the field unless advised to do so).
The diameter of the roller is 11.14 mm (circumference about 35 mm). The gap
between a drum and the corresponding charge roller is about 50 µm.
The cleaning brush roller [B], which always contacts the charge roller, cleans the
charge roller.
The charge roller can generate small amounts of nitrogen oxide gases (known as
NOx), which may be absorbed by the surface of the drum. This can cause
unfocused copies. To avoid this, the film of NOx is removed at power on, at the end
of a job (if more than 200 prints), and when a toner cartridge has been replaced.
SP3-920-1 to -4 determine when this procedure (known as “refresh mode”) is done.
It can also be executed at any time (using SP3-920-5) if the prints are smeared.
Quenching is done by illuminating the whole area of the drum with the laser at the
end of every job.

toner collection coils [J][K][L] in the duct transport this waste toner towards the
waste toner bottle [A]. The coils [J][K][L] are driven by development drive motor-
CMY.
NOTE: The openings and PCUs correspond as follows: black → [F], yellow → [G],

The waste toner from the transfer belt cleaning unit drops into the waste toner
collection duct from another opening [E].
The end of the waste toner collection duct is in the waste toner bottle. There are
two openings [B][C] and one collection coil [D] in this part of the duct. If the toner is
unable to drop through the opening [C] in the middle of the bottle, it is transported
to the end of the duct and drops into the bottle through the other opening [B]. This
collection coil [D] is driven by drum drive motor-K.

When the bottle contains a certain amount of waste toner, the sensor is
deactivated. The machine detects that the waste toner bottle is almost full and
displays “Waste Toner is Almost Full”.
After that, the machine can print about 2,500 more sheets. After printing 2,500
sheets, it displays “Replace Waste Toner,” and after the end of the job, the printer
cannot be used until the bottle is replaced or emptied.

6.4.8 PCU DETECTION (DEVELOPMENT UNIT DETECTION)
[C]
[B]
[A]
G080D952.WMF
Detection Pins
The drum positioning plate [A] contains eight push switches [B]. These detect when
a new PCU or a new development unit has just been installed. They also detect if
the PCUs and development units are in the machine.
Each PCU and each development unit includes a pin [C], which activates the
switch when the drum positioning plate is closed. On a new unit, this pin does not
activate the switch. When the unit is driven for the first time, the pin comes out and
activates the switch.
Detection Process
After the machine is turned on or the front cover is closed, the machine checks
each switch (“Result 1” in the table). Then the machine drives the PCUs and
development units for 5 seconds and checks each switch again (“Result 2” in the
table). The condition detected by the machine depends on the combination of
results as shown in the table.

[H]
[H]
G080D907.WMF
Overview [J]
The air transport system agitates the toner [H] in the toner cartridges [G]. Toner is
transported to the development unit [A] by the toner attraction pump [B] (each
cartridge has a separate pump). This provides a more stable way to transport fine
powder than previous methods.
Toner Agitation and Attraction

The rear air pump [D] supplies air to the yellow and magenta toner cartridges, while
the front air pump [E] supplies air to the black and cyan toner cartridges. Air
agitates all the toner in each cartridge. The pumps and four valves [C] control the
air flow. Mixed with air, the toner passes part of the way along the transport tube [J]
towards the toner attraction pump. This pump draws the toner the rest of the way
(☛ Toner Transport).
The air pump turns on to supply air to the toner cartridges for one second under
any of the following conditions:
• During normal operation, when the “on” time for a toner supply clutch
reaches a certain value
• When forced toner supply (SP2-207) is done
• When forced toner density adjustment (SP3-126-2) is done
• At toner end recovery
• Developer initialization
The filter [F] on the inner package of the toner cartridge ensures that the internal
pressure does not become too high.

[B]. These two pipes are L-shaped. The inner pipe goes through the outer pipe,
and is longer than the other.
Descriptions
Detailed
The toner goes through the inner pipe [A], and reaches the toner tube [E] at the
bottom end of the pipe. On its way to the toner tube, the toner passes the sensor
windows [G]. These windows are at the front side and the rear side of the pipe, and
are transparent. The light emitted from the toner end sensor [D] goes through this
area if the toner is not going through the pipe.
The air flow generated by the air pump goes through the outer pipe [B], and comes
out of the four openings at the top end.

Each toner attraction pump has the same mechanism. The pump (toner attraction
pump) [A], which consists of the toner supply clutch [B], rubber tube [C], and rotor
[D], attracts the toner in the toner transport tube [E] toward the development unit.
The toner supply clutch drives the rotor, which draws the toner in from the cartridge
and passes it to the development unit. When supplying toner, the clutch is on for
0.7 second and off for 1.3 seconds. The clutch turns on and off as many times as
necessary to supply the appropriate amount of toner. The amount of toner depends
on the results of toner supply control.
Motor drive comes from the development drive motors.

G080D714.WMF
The grip roller release mechanism reduces the pressure of the grip roller [E].
The grip roller transports a sheet of paper to the transfer unit. When the transfer
unit starts to feed the leading edge of the paper [G], the trailing edge has still not
reached the grip roller. So the paper is handled by the transfer unit and the grip
roller at the same time. If the handling speeds are not the same, this may skew the
Descriptions
paper. Longer paper sizes are more affected by the speed difference than shorter
Detailed
sizes. From the viewpoint of image crispness, multi-color images are more easily
affected than mono-color images.
To solve this possible problem, the grip roller release mechanism is activated
under the following conditions:
1) B4 paper or longer is being fed.
2) The machine is operating in the full-color mode.
3) The leading edge of the paper has been fed in the transfer unit.
The spring [A] is always pressing the grip roller against the transport roller [B].
When the above conditions are met, the solenoid [F] turns on, the lever [C] pushes
the grip roller shaft [D], and the grip roller moves away from the paper.

Paper is fed to the transfer belt before image transfer begins. The paper attraction
roller charges the paper to ensure that the paper is attracted to the belt.
The magenta, cyan, yellow, and black color images transfer to the paper while the
transfer belt feeds the paper past the drums towards the fusing unit. A positive
charge is applied to the paper under the transfer belt, opposite each drum, to
transfer the toner from the drums onto the paper. The back-up roller ensures that
the contact area between the drum and belt is sufficient.
The cleaning unit in the transfer unit cleans the belt surface with the cleaning blade
and brush. The waste toner collected from the belt is transported to the waste toner
bottle.
There are three ID sensors (front, center, and rear). Only the center ID sensor
detects the image density of the patterns generated on the transfer belt for process
control. The other function of the ID sensors is for automatic line position
adjustment. All ID sensors are used for this.

These currents are automatically corrected for paper size, temperature (measured
by the thermistor on the right side of the laser optics housing unit), and humidity
(measured by the humidity sensor).
Available adjustments are summarized below.
• The transfer roller current for each printing mode (color or B/W, resolution, paper
type) can be adjusted with SP2-301-1 to -56. The by-pass tray settings are used
when the duplex unit has not been installed and the user is making duplex prints
manually from the by-pass tray. There is a correction for narrow-width paper with
SP2-309-1 to -4.
• The current for paper attraction can be adjusted with SP2-801-1 to -9. There is a
correction for narrow-width paper with SP2-801-10 to -13.
The back-up roller [E] makes a wider contact area between the drum [B] and the
belt. The transfer exit roller [F] is charged to 2 kV. The roller prevents the toner
from being scattered while the paper is leaving the transfer unit.
The other rollers are grounded to neutralize the belt surface.

patterns (during process control or automatic line position adjustment) on the belt.
Belt cleaning is completed while the transfer belt makes one rotation. The transfer
unit drive motor [A] drives the unit.
The cleaning brush [B] always contacts the transfer belt [C], and removes waste
toner from the belt. The cleaning blade [D] in the cleaning unit scrapes the toner off
the transfer belt. The toner collection auger [E] transports the toner towards the
waste toner collection duct.

[B]
[C]
[D]
G080D403.WMF [E]
Mechanism
The transfer belt contact and release mechanism improves the lifetime of the
transfer belt and drums.
The drum for black always contacts the belt, but the transfer belt moves away from
the other drums during monochrome printing.
In the standby mode, the transfer belt contacts only the black drum. The transfer
belt comes away from the black drum when you turn the release lever
counterclockwise.
When the machine prints a color page, the machine waits until the previous page
has gone through the transfer unit. Then the transfer belt contact motor [C] turns on
and a cam [D] moves the lower end [E] of the transfer belt upward, so that it
contacts the other three drums.
The machine does not release the transfer belt from the color drums during the job,
even if a monochrome page comes again. This is because the total printing speed
reduces if the transfer belt changes position often.
The belt comes away from the color drums if the job is interrupted by any error
except a power failure.
NOTE: If a power failure occurs when the transfer belt is in contact with the drum,
the belt stays in this position. To release the belt, swing out the controller
box, and turn the drive gear [B] manually.
6-62
Transfer Belt Sensor

The transfer belt sensor [A] works as the detection sensor during machine
initialization, and works as the position sensor during machine operations.
Before machine initialization, the lower end of the transfer belt is in the home
position. When initialization starts, the transfer belt contact motor lifts the lower end
until the actuator has passed the sensor, and lowers it to its home position. This
action actuates the sensor in a certain pattern.
The table lists the sensor actuation patterns.
Machine status Sensor pattern

G080D964.WMF
The machine can print in the color or monochrome mode (selected with the printer
driver). In color mode, ACS can be switched on or off with a user tool (default: on).
If ACS is on, the transfer belt stays in the default position (against the K drum only)
until a page with color data on it appears. The transfer belt then moves against all
four drums and stays there until the end of the job, even if some K only pages
appear.
If ACS is off and the color mode is selected, all data is printed with the transfer belt
positioned against all four drums. The belt does not move even if a K only page
appears, even if it is at the start of the job.

• A belt fusing system is used. This has a faster warm-up time than a conventional
hot and pressure roller system.
• The heating roller is made of aluminum to increase the temperature of the fusing
belt quickly.
• The hot roller is made of sponge, which flattens slightly, also increasing the
fusing nip. This roller does not contain a fusing lamp.
• Each of the heating and pressure rollers has a fusing lamp.
– NA: 770W for the heating roller, 350W for the pressure roller
– EU: 700W for the heating roller, 325W for the pressure roller
• The heating roller thermistor and pressure roller thermistor control the
temperature of these lamps.
• Temperature is normally controlled by turning the fusing lamps on and off. To
change between on/off control and phase control: SP1-104-1.
• The oil supply roller supplies oil to the fusing belt through the oiling roller. This
mechanism spreads the oil on the fusing belt evenly.

by the pressure with the fusing belt [F].
Fusing Clutch
The fusing clutch [A] turns off and cuts the drive power when the fusing unit does
not need to operate. This mechanism prevents the belt and rollers from wearing
and saves the fusing oil.
NOTE: The fusing clutch turns off when images and patterns are created on the
transfer belt during process control and line position adjustment.

The heating and pressure roller temperatures for fusing are stored in SP1-105-4 to
-28.
When the machine is switched on, the fusing lamp temperatures increase to those
specified by SP1-104-25.
The print ready temperature is slightly less than the fusing temperature. The
difference is specified by SP1-105-1 and -2.
6-67
Temperature Corrections
To prevent excessive glossiness caused by fusing temperature overshoot, the
following SP modes are available:
• 1-913: Fusing temperature is reduced after this number of pages during the
job.
• 1-914: This shows how much the temperature is reduced
If a job using OHP or thick paper starts while the fusing unit is still warm, the fusing
temperature could be higher than the target for this type of paper, causing marks
on the output. To prevent this problem, we have the following SP modes:
• 1-996-4, 5: These SPs specify a limit, above which printing will not start.
Overheat Protection
If the heating or pressure roller temperature becomes higher than 200°C, the CPU
cuts off the power to the fusing lamp. SC543 for the heating roller or SC553 for the
pressure roller is generated.
If thermistor overheat protection fails, there are the thermostat for the heating roller
and two thermofuses for the pressure roller in series with the common ground line
of the fusing lamp.
• If the thermostat temperature becomes higher than 215°C, the thermostat
opens, removing power from the fusing lamp.
• If either of the two thermofuses temperature becomes higher than 126°C, the
thermofuse opens, removing power from the fusing lamp.
NOTE: These thermofuses make a series circuit.
In either case, the machine stops operation.

Excess fusing oil is collected in the waste oil bottle [H] through the pipe [I]. There is
a feeler [E] behind the waste oil bottle holder [G]. The feeler is linked to the bottle
set sensor [D]. The feeler is pushed when the bottle is in the holder and the holder
is set in place.
NOTE: 1) The feeler goes through an opening [F] on the rear side of the holder.
The bottle pushes the feeler directly.
2) The bottle set sensor is checked when the main switch is turned on or
when the front or left door is opened and closed.
If the sensor does not detect the bottle, the

message, “Reset Waste Oil Bottle correctly”, is Reset Waste Oil
displayed. This message is cleared after the
bottle is set and the front cover is closed (or the Bottle correctly
main switch is turned off and on). Just opening G080D925.WMF
and closing a cover or door does not clear the
message.

Waste Oil Sensor

There is an enclosed area [A] on the rear left shoulder of the waste oil bottle. On
the inside wall of this area are two pinholes, through which the waste oil can flow
into the enclosed area. This enclosed area contains an actuator [B], which
interrupts the waste oil sensor [C] if no oil is in the area.
When the amount of waste oil becomes large

enough for the waste oil to flow into the area, the Waste Oil Bottle
actuator floats on the oil. When the actuator is Almost Full
leaves the waste oil sensor, the message, “Waste
Oil Bottle is Almost Full,” is displayed on the G080D919.WMF
operation panel.
After this message appears, the machine can operate until the number of rotations
of development drive motor K reaches the value specified with SP7-905-010. When
you dispose of the waste oil, the machine resumes its normal operations (no need
to switch the machine off/on).

6.8.6 NEW FUSING OIL SUPPLY UNIT DETECTION
[A]
[B]
G080D507.WMF
The fusing oil supply unit [A] contains a fuse [B] in a circuit between the fusing unit
and the BCU board. The fuse opens shortly after a new unit has been installed in
the machine and the power is switched on. When the power is turned on or the left
cover is closed, the BCU checks whether a new fusing oil supply unit is installed by
checking the fuse condition. If the fusing oil supply unit has been replaced, the
machine detects the new unit and automatically resets the counter for the unit.
Oil near-end is detected by counting the number of prints made. The machine
indicates oil near-end 2,500 sheets before the life of the oil supply unit runs out.
This timing can be changed with SP7-905-14.

G080D965.WMF
The new fusing unit contains a spring [A] as part of a circuit connected to the BCU.
After a new unit has been installed in the machine and the fusing pressure roller is
driven for the first time, a pin [B] on the fusing pressure roller picks off the spring
and the looped wire circuit opens.
When the power is turned on or the left cover is closed, the BCU checks whether
the looped wire circuit is open or closed. If the fusing unit has just been replaced,
the circuit is still closed, and the machine detects the new unit. It then automatically
resets the counter for the unit.
The fusing unit's life is detected by counting the number of prints made. The
machine indicates near-end 2,500 sheets before the life of the unit runs out. This
timing can be changed with SP7-905-7.
6-74
6.8.8 ENERGY SAVER MODE

When the machine is not being used, the energy saver feature reduces power
consumption by switching off the fusing lamps. This machine has two energy saver
modes.
Level 1 Energy Saver Mode

The default of the level 1 energy saver mode is “Off.” If the user enables it, the
level 1 energy saver mode starts 30 seconds after the machine has completed a
print. In this mode, the fusing lamps are intermittently turned on and off to keep the
heating roller at 100°C and pressure roller at 130°C.
The machine leaves this mode when one of the following happens:
• Print command received from a PC
• Any cover opened and closed
• Any operation panel key pressed
Level 2 Energy Saver Mode

The level 2 energy saver mode starts after the machine has been idle for a certain
time. This time is specified by a user tool as listed below. During the level 2 energy
saver mode, both lamps are off.
• Off (energy saver mode never activates)
• 5 minutes
• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 45 minutes
• 60 minutes (default)
Descriptions
Detailed
When the machine is in this mode, the machine turns off +24V, +12V, and +5V
lines. However, only +5VE lines, for the controller and GAPCI (voltage monitoring
ASIC) on the BCU, are still active.
The machine leaves this energy saver mode when one of the following happens:
• Print command received from a PC
• Any operation panel key pressed
NOTE: The machine does not leave the level 2 energy saver mode when covers
are opened and closed, because the CPU on the BCU is not active.

• Adjustable range: 100% to 400%
Dither Processing and ROP/RIP

Dither patterns have been prepared for photo and text independently. Dithering
converts 8-bit data to 1-bit data. However, these dither patterns create the illusion
of 256 gradations for high quality prints. The optimum dither pattern is selected
depending on the selected resolution.

the output tray selected with this user tool will be used.
Output Tray Selected

• If the machine cannot print to the selected output tray, it prints to the default
paper output tray.
• If paper overflow is detected at the selected output tray, the controller stops
printing until the overflow detector goes off.
Sequential Stacking
When the 4-bin mailbox is installed, “Auto Tray 4
Tray SW” is selected as the output tray in
the “System” menu, and “Printer Default” is Tray 3
specified as the output tray in the driver, Tray 2

the machine automatically sends the output
to the lowest tray. When that tray fills up, Tray 1
the machine sends the output to the
second lowest tray. When that tray also fills Internal Tray

IEEE1394 INTERFACE 17 January, 2003
6.12 IEEE1394 INTERFACE

6.12.1 SPECIFICATIONS
Hardware Specification
Interface: IEEE1394 (6 pins)
(non-power supply, cable power repeated-IEEE1394a-2000 compliant)
Ports: 2 ports
Data rates: 400Mbps/200Mbps/100Mbps
System Requirements
PC: IBM PC/AT with IEEE1394 port
OS: MS Windows 2000 upgraded with service pack 1
Cable length: 4.5m (15ft)
6.12.2 IEEE1394 SCSI PRINT

IEEE1394, also known as FireWire (a name patented by Apple), is an easy-to-use
peer-to-peer networking technology allowing speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
The current standard contains the following features, which are supported in most
devices:
• Hot swapping (cables can be connected and disconnected while the
computer and other devices are switched on)
• Peer-to-peer networking (no hub required)
• No terminator or device ID is required, unlike SCSI
• Automatic configuration of devices upon start-up, or “plug and play.”
• Real-time data transfer at 100, 200, and 400 Mbps
• Common connectors for different devices
1394 I/F
1394 I/F
G080D973.WMF
The cable length is limited to 4.5 m (15ft). However, up to 16 cables and 63

devices can be connected to an IEEE1394 network.
IEEE1394 cables can be either 4-pin (data only) or 6-pin (data and power).
IEEE1394 allows either 6-pin or 4-pin connectors. However, this machine only uses
the 6-pin connectors. The machine has two 6-pin ports.

6.12.5 REMARKS
Note the following points about this unit.
• The machine does not print reports specifically for IEEE1394. Print the
Configuration Page during installation to check that the machine recognizes the
card.
• There is no spooler or print queue. If a computer tries to print over the IEEE1394
while the printer is busy, the IEEE1394 interface card inside the printer will return
a busy signal.
• After starting a job using IEEE1394, do not switch the printer off until the job has
been completed. Although the printer may appear to be inactive, it may be in the
middle of an IEEE1394 protocol exchange with the computer.
• When using IEEE1394, it is not possible to check the printer status from the
computer with a utility such as Printer Manager for Client.
6.12.6 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES

If there are problems printing using the IEEE1394 interface, check the following.
• Is the computer using Windows 2000 with service pack 1?
• Has the interface card been replaced recently? Each card has an individual
address, similar to the MAC address in an Ethernet card. If the card was
changed, the driver still looks for the old card. The new card is considered as
another device and a new printer appears in Windows Control panel. The new
card must be configured in the same way as the printer that was replaced (the
old printer icon in Windows Control Panel should be deleted).
• Is there a loop somewhere in the network? An IEEE1394 network must be a
chain or a branched chain. There can be no loops.
• Try to find out where in the chain the problem is occurring. Test the machine
one-to-one with the computer to determine if the printer is defective (when the
printer’s interface cable is plugged in, the computer should see “Printer Ready”;
when the cable is disconnected, the computer should see “Offline”).

IEEE802.11B (WIRELESS LAN) 17 January, 2003
6.13 IEEE802.11B (WIRELESS LAN)

A wireless LAN is a flexible data communication system used to extend or replace
a wired LAN. Wireless LAN employs radio frequency technology to transmit and
receive data over the air and minimize the need for wired connections.
• With wireless LANs, users can access information on a network without looking
for a place to plug into the network.
• Network managers can set up or expand networks without installing or moving
wires.
• Most wireless LANs can be integrated into existing wired networks. Once
installed, the network treats wireless nodes like any other physically wired
network component.
• Flexibility and mobility make wireless LANs both effective extensions of and
attractive alternatives to wired networks.
Standard applied: IEEE802.11b

Data transfer rates: 11 Mbps/5.5 Mbps/2 Mbps/1 Mbps (auto sense)
Network protocols: TCP/IP, Apple Talk, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX
Bandwidth: 2.4GHz
(divided over 14 channels, 2400 to 2497 MHz for each
channel)
NOTE: The wireless LAN cannot be active at the same time as the Ethernet. The
“LAN Type” setting in the Host Interface menu determines which LAN
interface will be used.

6.13.3 TRANSMISSION MODE

The following transmission modes are provided for wireless communication.
Ad Hoc Mode
G080D978.WMF
Ad hoc mode allows communication between each device (station) in a simple

peer-to-peer network. In this mode, all devices must use the same channel to
communicate.
In this machine, the default transmission mode is ad hoc mode and the default
channel is 11. First, set up the machine in ad hoc mode and program the
necessary settings, even if the machine will be used in the infrastructure mode.
To switch between ad hoc and infrastructure modes, use the following user tool:
Host Interface Menu - IEEE802.11b - Comm Mode
Infrastructure Mode
Access Point
G080D979.WMF
The infrastructure mode allows communication between each computer and the
printer via an access point equipped with an antenna and wired into the network.
This arrangement is used for topologies that are more complex.
• The wireless LAN client must use the same SSID (Service Set ID) as the access
point in order to communicate.
6-96
6.13.4 SECURITY FEATURES

SSID (Service Set ID)
The SSID is used by the access point to recognize the client and allow access to
the network. Only clients that share the same SSID with the access point can
access the network.
NOTE: The SSID can be set using the web status monitor or telnet
Using the SSID in Ad hoc mode

When the SSID is used in ad hoc mode and nothing is set, the machine
automatically uses “ASSID” as the SSID. In such a case, “ASSID” must also be set
at the client.
NOTE: SSID in ad hoc mode is sometimes called “Network Name” in some
devices.
Some devices automatically change from ad hoc mode to infrastructure mode
when the same SSID is used in ad hoc mode and infrastructure mode. In such a
case, to use the device in ad hoc mode, use a specified SSID in infrastructure
mode and use “ASSID” in the ad hoc mode.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WEP is a coding system designed to protect wireless data transmission. In order to
unlock encoded data, the same WEP key is required on the receiving side. There
are 64 bit and 128 bit WEP keys. This machine supports both 64 and 128 bit WEP.
NOTE: The WEP key can be set using the web status monitor or telnet.
Descriptions
MAC Address
Detailed
If the infrastructure mode is used, access to the network can also be limited at the
access points using the MAC address. This setting may not be available with some
types of access points.
6-97
6.13.5 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES

Communication Status
Wireless LAN communication status can be checked with the UP mode “W.LAN
Signal” in the Maintenance menu. This can also be checked using the Web Status
Monitor or Telnet.
The status is described on a simple number scale.
STATUS DISPLAY COMMUNICATION STATUS
Good 76~100
Fair 41~75
Poor 21~40
Unavailable 0~20
NOTE: Communication status can be measured only when the infrastructure mode
is being used.
Channel Settings
If a communication error occurs because of electrical noise such as interference
with other electrical devices, etc., you may have to change the channel settings.
To avoid interference with neighboring channels, a separation of 3 channels is
recommended. For example, if there are problems using channel 11 (default), try
using channel 8.

Troubleshooting steps
If there are problems using the wireless LAN, check the following.
1) Check the LED indicator on the wireless LAN card.
2) Check if “IEEE802.11b” is selected in the UP mode LAN Type in Network
Setup in the Host Interface menu.
3) Check if the channel settings are correct.
4) Check if the SSID and WEP are correctly set.
If infrastructure mode is being used,
1) Check if the MAC address is properly set
2) Check the communication status.
If the communication status is poor, bring the machine closer to the access point.
Additionally check for any obstructions between the machine and the access point.
If the problem cannot be solved, try changing the channel setting.

6.14.3 COMMUNICATION USING BLUETOOTH

Piconet
Bluetooth devices communicate with each other in the ad hoc mode. This network
is called the “Piconet.” The Piconet may contain a maximum of 8 Bluetooth devices.
There is one master device and can be seven slave devices in the Piconet. The
master device controls the hopping frequency and timing, as well as storing the ID
codes of the slave devices. The master and one of the slave devices can be
swapped. Once the master device leaves the Piconet, a slave device becomes the
new master.
Machines with the Bluetooth option are potential slave devices to connect to a PC.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)

The Bluetooth device divides the band ranging from 2,402 to 2,480 MHz into 79
channels of the 1-MHz width, and changes the channel 1,600 times per second.
The Bluetooth device can avoid interference from other Bluetooth devices in the
LAN while they are using the same radio band.
