2.2.01 Main Controller Board Overview The major components of the main controller board consist of a 25 Mhz oscillator, a Motorola 68000 Microprocessor (CPU), two 1 Mbyte Program ROMs (4 PROMs are used on the OL850), 2 Mbyte of RAM, an EEPROM, and a two Gate Arrays. The main controller board is connected to the host system through a Centronics parallel interface or the RS-232C serial / RS422 / AppleTalk interface. The RS232/RS422/AppleTalk interface is standard on the OL850. The main controller board is connected to the printer unit via CN7 on the main controller board and J7 on the printer units engine controller board. Two Gate Arrays are located on the main control board. The Gate Arrays can read/write/ process data simultaneously in accordance with the 12.5 Mhz clock pulse. The Gate Arrays control the following functions: · Gate Array #1 - Controls reading data from, and writing data to, the dynamic RAM - Provides the dynamic RAM refresh - Sends a 12.5 Mhz clock signal to the microprocessor. This clock pulse governs the processing and executing of commands by the CPU. · Gate Array #2 - Reads/Writes data from/to the EEPROM. The EEPROM, located on the main controller board, stores the default interface protocol information. - Controls the printer interface (parallel, serial and AppleTalk) - Controls the printer unit Copyright 1997, Okidata, Division of OKI America, Inc.

2.4 MECHANICAL OPERATION DESCRIPTION 2.4.01 Basic Principles - Electrostatic Printing A - 700 vdc charge is placed on the photoconductive drum by supplying -6Kvdc from the power supply to the charge wire. The printer turns on the LED array in conformance with the data received from the CUs main controller board. Once the charged drum is exposed to this light, an electrostatic image is formed on the drum surface. This latent image is developed with toner. The toner image is then transferred and fused to the paper. The electrostatic technology used in this printer is similar to that used in copying machines. The technology comprises the following processes.

Charging The surface of the photoconductive drum is uniformly charged. Exposure The charged photoconductive drum is exposed to light, forming an electrostatic image associated with the print image on the drum. Developing Negatively charged toner is attracted to the latent image, making the image visible. Transfer The toner is attracted to positive charged paper. Fusing The toner image is fused to the paper using heat and pressure. Cleaning Residual toner is removed from the image drum surface. Toner Recycling Unused toner collected during cleaning is returned to the developer unit

2.4.03 Process Descriptions Hopping and Feeding Hopping and feeding are accomplished by the resist motor, hopping roller, and resist rollers. Turning the resist motor in the clockwise direction drives the hopping roller. Turning the resist motor in the counter-clockwise direction drives the resist rollers. · Hopping - loading paper from the tray The resist motor turns the hopping roller to advance the paper until the inlet sensor is enabled. After the paper has enabled the inlet sensor, the hopping roller continues to advance the paper a predetermined distance. The paper contacts the resist roller, which, along with the free-spinning upper metal pressure roller, removes paper skew. · Feeding - transporting paper through the printer At the end of the hopping process, the resist motor reverses direction and the resist rollers transport the paper through the printer. Hopping and Feed - Diagram

Charging -6 Kvdc is applied to the charge wire. This causes negative ions to be generated in the vicinity of the charge wire (corona discharge). The negative ions are discharged to the grid plate and the image drum surface. Since the drum surface is not conductive (in the dark), the negative charge (approximately -700 vdc) remains on the drum. To ensure that the drum surface is not charged with more than -700 vdc, a varistor is connected between the grid and ground. If the grid voltage exceeds -700 vdc, the varistor shunts this excess voltage to ground. Exposure Light emitted from the LED array strikes the image drum surface which is charged with negative ions. The areas of the drum struck by light become conductive. This causes the surface potential in these areas to drop (from -700 vdc to approximately -100 vdc). This forms a latent image on the image drum. Developing

The toner supply roller is constructed of a porous material which absorbs toner. The toner supply roller contains a -550 vdc bias charge and the development roller contains a -400 vdc bias charge. Since the development roller charge is more positive than the toner supply roller charge, toner is transferred from the toner supply roller to the development roller. The toner on the development roller is leveled by the doctor blade. This forms a thin coat of toner on the development roller surface. Since the areas of the drum exposed to light are charged more positively (-100 vdc) than the toner (-400 vdc), toner is attracted to the exposed areas, making the latent image visible. Transfer As paper passes under the image drum surface, a positive charge (+5 Kvdc), is applied to the transfer charge wire. This causes the paper to acquire a positive charge through corona discharge. Since the papers charge (+5 Kvdc) is more positive than the toner charge (-100 vdc), the toner is transferred to the paper. Cleaning Upon completion of transfer, residual toner on the image drum is scraped off by the cleaning blade and collected in the toner recovery unit. Fusing The toner image is fused on the paper by placing it between the heat roller and the back-up (pressure) roller. The heat roller is teflon coated and contains a 400 watt quartz lamp. A thermistor regulates the temperature of the heat roller within a predetermined range (about 150 degree C). A thermostat removes the supply voltage to the heat roller in the event of an abnormal temperature rise. The back-up (pressure) roller springs produce a pressure of 6.5 pounds on the paper. Paper Ejection Paper is transported from the fuser unit by the back-up roller. If the face-up stacker is closed, paper is routed to the top of the printer for face-down delivery. Toner Recycling Toner in the toner recovery tank is moved to the toner cartridge for reuse. Copyright 1997, Okidata, Division of OKI America, Inc. All rights reserved.

2.5.02 Sensor Functions Power-On The inlet and outlet sensors are checked for their on and off states at power on time. · Inlet sensor on: PAPER FEED JAM ERROR (Paper supply jam) · Outlet sensor on: PAPER JAM ERROR (Paper exit jam) The thermistor sensor circuit detects if the temperature of the fusing unit reaches the normal temperature within the specified time. If it does not reach the normal temperature within the specified time, the thermistor sensor turns OFF the heater and generates an alarm. Hopping Whenever the inlet sensor fails to detect paper within a predetermined period of time after a feed command has been issued to the paper supply system (tray), the failure is counted. A hopping operation is then attempted up to three times, and if the paper still fails to feed properly, a paper feed jam error is established. Feeding If the leading part of the paper does not reach the outlet sensor within a predetermined period of time after the start of feeding by the resist motor, a paper jam error occurs. Form Length Error Detection Form length detection is not enabled for manually inserted paper or envelopes. Any form length other than those specified in Section One of the Service Handbook, will generate a form length error, which is displayed on the operator panel. To detect the form length, the processor measures the time interval between when the inlet sensor turns on until it turns off (after the start of the resist motor in the forward direction). Outlet Jam Detection Since paper is fed through the printer at a fixed speed, the outlet sensor must remain on for a predetermined amount of time. If the outlet sensor remains on in excess of this time, the controller assumes that an exit jam has occurred and an alarm is generated. Copyright 1997, Okidata, Division of OKI America, Inc.
