Immediate Transmission: Scanned data from the contact image sensor passes to the DIP block in the FCIP. After analog/digital video processing, the DCR block compresses the data for transmission. The compressed data then passes either to the FIFO memory or to the ECM memory before it is sent to the telephone line through the modem. Memory Transmission: First, the scanned data is stored in the SAF memory after compression in the DCR block. At the time for transmission, the DCR block decompresses the data from the SAF memory, then compresses it again after handshaking with the other terminal is done. The compressed data then passes either to the FIFO memory or to the ECM memory, before it is sent to the telephone line through the modem.

H528D515.wmf

The scanner consists of a contact image sensor (CIS) assembly [A] and a scanner roller [B]. Inside the CIS are an exposure glass [C], a rod lens array [D], an image sensor [E], and an LED array [F]. The image sensor consists of a row of 1728 photosensitive elements (216 mm width x 8 dots/mm). Light from the LED array is reflected from the document and focused onto the image sensor by the rod lens array. Because of the short optical path inside the CIS, the focal depth is much shorter than for a CCD type scanner. The white level adjustment is performed at the factory, then the white level is stored in the FCU's SRAM. The white level must be adjusted when the FCU or the CIS is replaced, or the SRAM is cleared in the field. The CIS scans the document one line at a time, and outputs an analog signal for each line. The voltage from each element depends on the intensity of the light reflected by the document onto the element; the intensity of the light depends on the darkness of the area reflected.

2.2.1. Printing Process - Overview

H528D545.wmf

This machine uses a "write to black" system, using negative toner. · The charge brush roller applies a negative charge to the drum of -350 V to -1350 V, switched at 30 Hz. · The surface voltage of the drum is approximately -800 V. · The laser exposed area on the drum drops to about -50 V. · The development roller carries toner to the latent image on the drum surface. The bias voltages during printing: Development roller : -300 V Doctor blade: -550V Lower case: -287 V · The transfer roller attracts toner from the drum onto the paper. The bias applied is +3.2 kV. · This machine has no cleaning unit or waste toner tank.

H528D506.wmf

This machine uses an organic photoconductor drum [A]. The diameter of the drum is 30 mm. It is driven by the main motor [B] through a gear train [C]. The charge brush roller [D] is also driven by the main motor. The drum cartridge is replaceable by the user. 2.2.3. Charge
[A] [B]

[C]
H528D517.wmf

The charge brush roller [A] is located in the drum unit. It applies the charge bias in direct contact with the drum [B]. The high voltage power supply applies a high voltage of -350 V to -1350 V, switched at 30 Hz, through plate [C]. Since the machine uses a charge brush roller, the ozone production is greatly reduced and the charge bias applied to a roller is relatively low compared to that for a corona wire. The charge brush roller rotates faster than the drum. (The speed ratio is about 4 : 1.) There is no cleaning mechanism. Also, toner is transferred back to the drum by the transfer roller in cleaning mode. The charge brush roller picks up some of this toner. In extreme cases, this may lead to vertical black lines on copies in areas corresponding to places on the brush that have excessive toner.

H528D505.wmf

The components of the laser section create a latent image on the drum. The charge on the exposed areas of the drum drops to about -50 V while non-exposed areas remain at about -800 V. This machine uses a rotating square mirror [A]. The beam emitted from the LDDR [B] is reflected by the square mirror to the line synchronization detector [C] for line synchronization in the main scan direction. The mirror's rotation speed is 8431.7 rpm. As a safety feature, the shutter [D] closes to block the laser beam path whenever the top cover is opened.
Cross reference Group 3 Facsimile Manual: section 4-3-3

2. Error Conditions LD Failure: The mechanical control board detects an LD failure when the laser power is out of the specified range. When this occurs, the machine warns the user on the LCD panel (SC code 2-22).

DETAILED SECTION DESCRIPTIONS PRINTING

Mirror Motor Failure: The machine detects a mirror motor error when the MCB does not detect the line synchronization detector signal within 1 second of the mirror motor being turned on. The machine also detects a mirror motor error when the motor rotation is not within 8431.7 rpm ± 5% at 4.2 seconds after the motor turns on or if the motor is not within 8431.7 rpm ± 3% for more than 0.5 second during mirror motor operation. Since this error is detected with the line synchronization detector signal, the machine may detect LD malfunction as a mirror motor failure. When these errors occur, the machine warns the user on the LCD panel (SC code 3-31).

3. Toner Saving Mode In this machine, toner saving is done by reducing the number of dots actually printed, not by varying the development bias. In toner saving mode, the image data is filtered through the following four-line matrix. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th line line line line 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(1: Actual data printed, black or white; 0: Always a white pixel) Note: · Toner saving mode only works when printing fax messages and reports. (However, toner saving is disabled when receiving a halftone mode message in NSF/NSS mode.) · When toner saving mode is selected, the print image density is automatically set to "Normal"; in some cases, the image may become invisible if the Lighter setting is used.
Cross Reference Toner Saving Mode: User parameter 12, bit 2

Edge Enhancement In toner saving mode, the machine prints a black pixel whenever the data changes from white to black in the main scan direction. In this way, edges on the image are printed more clearly.

This machine contains a development toner magazine (DTM) [A], which contains the toner agitator [B], development roller [C], toner supply roller [D], doctor blade [E], and the toner tank [F]. At toner end, the entire DTM is replaced by the user. There are two rollers in the DTM: the toner application roller [D] and the development roller [C]. The toner agitator [B] stirs the toner and carries it to the toner supply roller [D]. The toner is then carried from the toner supply roller to the development roller. As the development roller turns past the doctor blade [E], only a thin coating of negatively charged toner particles stay adhered.
Cross reference Group 3 Facsimile Manual: section 4-4-2

During printing, a bias voltage of -280 V is applied to the development roller (when a print density setting of Normal is selected). The development bias changes in accordance with the print density selection (user parameter 12, Bit 3 and 4). Since the laser exposed areas on the drum are reduced to -50 V, the toner is trasnferred from the development roller onto these areas of the latent image as they turn past the drum. There is no DTM detection in this machine.

3. Toner End Detection The toner end sensor [A] (a reflective photosensor) is located under the DTM. When the toner is almost empty, the sensor's light is reflected by the mirror [B] at the top of the toner tank. The machine monitors this sensor only when the main motor is on. If the sensor detects the reflected light 5 times in a row, within a specified period, the MCB detects a toner near end condition, and informs the FCU. The machine can then print 100 more sheets, at which time the FCU disables printing (toner end condition). At this time the DTM must be replaced. 2.2.6. Paper Feed 1. Paper Path

Paper Feed Sequence When the paper pick-up solenoid [B] is turned on, the motor rotation is transferred to the paper pick-up roller [C] by the spring clutch [D]. When the solenoid is turned on, it allows the tray lifting cam [E] to rotate. This allows the bottom plate [F] to be pushed up by the spring. The top sheet of paper in the tray is fed by the paper pick-up roller. The paper feed solenoid is then turned off. The separation pad [G] prevents multi-feeding.

The paper activates the registration sensor [H]. This sensor warns the printer that a sheet of paper is coming, to initialize the laser engine. It is also used for paper size and jam detection. If the paper size is determined not to match the selected paper size, a paper size error is detected. The machine stops printing and indicates the user of the incorrect paper size, but the image data is retained and will be printed out when the paper is reset in the tray. When the solenoid is turned off, the paper feed roller stops and the bottom plate returns to the original position. The paper end feeler [I] drops into the slot in the bottom plate to detect paper end when the paper tray is empty.

The paper feed sequence for the optional paper feed unit (PFU) is the same as the standard tray except for the following: · The paper pick-up roller of the PFU is driven by the machine's main motor. · The bottom plate [B] is lifted up when the release button [C] is pressed. · A corner separator [D] is used. Jam Detection: Registration Misfeed: The machine detects a misfeed if the registration sensor does not turn on within 2 seconds (4 seconds for the optional tray) after the paper pick-up solenoid is turned on. A misfeed is also detected if the registration sensor turns on before the paper pick-up solenoid is turned on. When a misfeed is detected, the machine will finish printing that page before turning off the drive components (error code 9-07 when the paper is fed from the standard tray, or 9-50 when the paper is fed from the paper feed unit). Paper Jam: The machine detects a paper jam if the registration sensor is on when the power is turned on or when the upper cover is closed. A jam is also detected if the registration sensor remains on for over 11 seconds. When a jam is detected, it immediately turns off all drive components, except the fusing unit fan.

2. Cleaning Mode If the paper is smaller than the printed image, or if a paper jam occurs during printing, toner may be transferred to the the transfer roller surface. To prevent toner from transferring to the back side of copies, the transfer roller has to be cleaned before the next printing run. While the machine is in the cleaning mode, the charge is applied to the drum, the drum is completely exposed by the laser, and -800 V is applied to the transfer roller. The negatively charged toner on the transfer roller is then transferred back to the drum. During the cleaning mode, the positive bias of +100 V is applied to the development roller to avoid any toner transfer to the drum. The machine goes through the cleaning mode in the following conditions: · At power-up · When the printer cover is opened and then closed during printing. · After a printer jam has been cleared.

[B] [A] [C]
H528D519.wmf

The power supplied to the lamp [A] is controlled by the MCB. The MCB uses the thermistor [B] to determine when to turn the fusing lamp on and off. When the main switch is turned on, the machine turns on the fusing lamp and raises the fusing temperature to 181° C. For printing, the machine keeps the fusing temperature at 176° C. When the printing operation is finished, the machine keeps the fusing temperature at 161° C for 3 minutes (depending on the power saver mode settings). Points to note: · Printing temperature: 176° C · Thermistor maximum: 250° C · Thermostat maximum: 180° C (the temperature of the hot roller would be about 300° C. 2. Power Saver Mode Settings The behaviour of the machine after printing depends on the following: · User level Power Saver Mode setting (100 ° C or room temperature) · Power Saver Mode timer (system bit switch 0B, bits 2 and 3) - User Setting: Fusing Lamp On (100 ° C) After printing, the fusing lamp temperature drops to 161° C. Then, the fusing lamp temperature will fall back to 100 ° C after 3 minutes, regardless of the system bit switch setting.

2.2.9. Page Separation and Data Reduction Incoming pages that are only slightly longer than the copy paper may be reduced in the sub-scan direction. Whether or not this happens depends on the settings of printer bit switches 03, 04 and 05. Reduction Enabled If bit 0 of printer switch 03 is at 1 (Enabled), the data will be reduced in the page memory to fit on the paper. However, data will only be reduced if the length of the incoming page is between 5 mm shorter and a certain maximum length. This maximum incoming page length that can be reduced depends on the copy paper size and on the reduction ratio stored in printer switches 04 and 05. Each paper size can be programmed with a separate reduction ratio. In each of the two bit switches, there is one bit for each possible paper size. The combination of the bit settings determines the ratio for that paper size.

The excessive jam alarm automatically notifies the service station when the machine's scanner or printer frequently has jam problems. Each type of jam has three counters allocated to it (JAM, NO-JAM1, NOJAM2). Each of these counters has a threshold value (CALL, DEC, and CLR respectively; these can be adjusted.) The machine uses these counters to monitor jams as follows. Each time a jam occurs: The JAM counter is increased by 1, and NO-JAM1 and NO-JAM2 are both set to zero. When JAM reaches CALL (6 by default), the machine sends an Auto Service Report with a System Parameter List. If a sheet of paper is fed without a jam occuring: NO-JAM1 and NO-JAM2 are both incremented by 1. When NO-JAM1 reaches DEC (16 by default), NO-JAM1is set to zero, and JAM is decremented by 1. When NO-JAM2 reaches CLR (48 by default), NO-JAM2 and JAM are both reset to zero. The CALL, DEC, and CLR thresholds can be adjusted for each type of jam by rewriting RAM data. The addresses of these thresholds are given on the next page.
