Chapter 2 Operation Description
Electro-Photographic Processor The electro-photographic processor prints out the image data sent from the main control board on sheets of paper. Figure 2-3 shows the layout of the electro-photographic processor. (1) Image drum unit The image drum unit makes toner adhere to the electrostatic latent image with static electricity. This electrostatic latent image is formed by light from the LED heads. (2) Electromagnetic clutch The electromagnetic clutch controls the rotation of the hopping roller according to signals from the control board.
(3) Pulse motor (Main) This pulse motor of 48 steps/rotation is two-phase controlled by the signal from the main control board; it controls feeding by changing rotation direction and turning on/off the electromagnetic clutch. The relationship between the main motor, electromagnetic clutch, regist gear, drum gear, and hopping roller is shown in the table below and on the subsequent pages.
Main Motor Normal rotation Reverse rotation Reverse rotation
Electromagnetic Clutch OFF ON OFF
Hopping Roller Non-rotation Rotation Non-rotation
Regist Gear Non-rotation Rotation Rotation
Drum Gear Rotation Rotation Rotation
Operation Warm-up Hopping Printing
(4) LED head The shift and latch registers receive image data from the main control board for each dot line. They control the 2,560 or 2,496 LEDs, which illuminate the image drum. (5) Fuser Assy The fuser Assy consists of a heater, a heat roller, a thermistor, and a thermostat. The power supply unit applies AC voltage to the heater according to the HEATON signal from the main control board; this heats the heat roller. The main control board monitors the heat roller temperature via the thermistor and keeps the temperature constant by turning on/off the heater voltage. If the heat roller temperature rises abnormally, the thermostat in the heater voltage supply circuit cuts off the AC voltage supply.

Chapter 2 Operation Description
Electro-Photographic Process (1) Electro-photographic process The electro-photographic process is outlined below. 1 Charging The surface of the image drum is given a uniform negative charge by applying DC voltage to the CH roller. 2 Exposure Light emitted from the LED head illuminates the negatively charged surface of the image drum. The surface potential of the lighted surface attenuates to form the electrostatic latent image corresponding to the image signal. 3 Development and residual toner recovery The negatively charged toner is brought into contact with the image drum, adhering to the electrostatic latent image on the image drum by static electricity. This adhesion causes the electrostatic latent image to change to a visible image. At the same time, the residual toner on the image drum is attracted to the developing rollerby static electricity. 4 Transfer When paper is placed over the image drum surface, the transfer roller applies a positive charge--which is opposite in polarity to that of the toner--to the reverse side. The toner is attracted by the positive charge and transfers the toner image from the image drum onto the paper. 5 Cleaning The cleaning roller temporarily attracts the residual toner on the transferred image drum with static electricity, then returns the toner to the image drum. 6 Fusing The transferred toner image is fused to the paper by applying heat and pressure . Figure 2-5 is a flow diagram of the electro-photographic process.

Chapter 2 Operation Description
Development Toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image on the image drum surface, converting it into a visible toner image. Developing occurs through contact between the image drum and the developing roller. 1 As the toner supply roller rotates while rubbing on the developing roller, a friction charge is generated between the developing roller and the toner, attracting the toner to the developing roller. (The developing roller surface has a positive charge, while the toner has a negative charge.)
2 The toner attracted to the developing roller is scraped off by the developing blade, forming a thin coat of toner on the developing roller surface. 3 Toner is attracted to the exposed (low-potential) portion of the image drum at the point of contact between the image drum and the developing roller, making the electrostatic latent image visible.

Chapter 2 Operation Description
Transfer The transfer roller is composed of conductive sponge material. It is designed to bring the image drum and the paper into close contact. A sheet of paper is placed over the image drum surface, and a positive charge, opposite to that of the toner, is applied to the paper from the reverse side. High voltage from the power supply creates a positive charge on the surface of the transfer roller, which, in turn transfers the charge to the paper as it contacts the transfer roller. The image drum surface attracts the negatively charged toner, and the toner transfers to the paper as a result of the positive charge on the reverse side of the paper.

Service Guide OKIPAGE4w
Chapter 2 Operation Description
Fusing The transferred toner image fuses to the paper, because heat and pressure are applied when it passes between the heat roller and back-up roller. The Teflon-coated heat roller contains a 400 W heater (Halogen lamp) that heats the heat roller. The thermistor on the surface of the heat roller keeps its temperature constant. A thermostat is also installed for safety. If temperature rises abnormally, this thermostat opens to suspend voltage to the heater. The back-up roller is pressed against the heat roller by the pressure spring on each side.

4.2.2 Setting the LED Head Dot Count There are two possible LED head dot counts. Use the following label to identify these types. Use LED Head Width in the engine menu table to set the LED head dot count. (See Figure 4-2.) - Identifying the types of LED head dot count
Figure 4-3
4.2.3 Uploading and Downloading EEPROM Data When the main control board is replaced, data from the old EEPROM must be loaded into the EEPROM on the new board. Use EEPROM Operations in the option tab of the maintenance utility to download EEPROM data onto the new main control board. (See Figure 4-4.) Download EEPROM data onto the new main control board in the following procedures: (1) Check that the printer and PC are connected by the parallel I/F, then run the maintenance utility. (2) Click the Option button in Main Menu Dialog. (3) Click the Upload button (Upload EEPROM Data) in EEPROM Operations. (EEPROM data read is completed.) (4) The read EEPROM data is displayed in Dialog of the maintenance driver. (5) Leave the display of the maintenance driver as is and replace the main control board. (6) Click the Download button (Download EEPROM Data) in EEPROM Operations. (EEPROM data write is completed.) Depending on the level of a main control board failure (parallel I/O failure, etc.), however, EEPROM data may be unable to be uploaded. In such a case, use the maintenance utility to perform the following adjustment after replacing the main control board: - Setting the LED head drive time (See Section 4.2.1 above) - Setting the LED head dot count (See Section 4.2.2 above) - Setting specifications (ODA/OEL/INT-A/INT-L)
