CHAPTER I FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1. FEATURES
This printer has the following features: High Resolution and Fast Printing Speed True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and 8 pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper). True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and 10 pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper). True 600 dots per inch (dpi) and 1200 x 600 dpi for graphics with microfine toner and 10 pages per minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter paper). Enhanced Printing Performance and User-Friendly Operation for Windows The dedicated printer driver and TrueTypeTM-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 are available on the floppy disk and CD-ROM supplied with your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications and allows you to set various printer settings including toner saving mode, custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale adjustment, resolution, and so forth. You can easily setup these print options in the graphic dialog boxes through the Printer Setup menu within the Windows Control Panel. Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface The printer driver can monitor your printer's status using bi-directional parallel communications. The printer status monitor program can show the current status of your printer. When printing, an animated dialog box appears on your computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display "No Paper" and instructions for the corrective action to take. Versatile Paper Handling The printer has a multi-purpose sheet feeder and a straight paper path mechanism. Using this mechanism, you can load A4, letter, legal, B5, A5, A6, and executive sizes of paper, and various types of media including envelopes, organizer paper, or your custom paper size. The multi-purpose sheet feeder also allows manual paper loading, so you can also use labels and transparencies.
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to obtain draft copies for proof-reading. You can select from two economy modes, 25% toner saving and 50% toner saving, through the Windows printer driver supplied with your printer.
Environment-Friendly
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)
Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 13W when in sleep mode.
I-1
Low Running Cost
The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 2,400 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may vary depending on your average type of print job. Enhanced Memory Management The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the standard printer memory. Remote Printer Console Program for DOS (for HL-1040/1050 only) The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the floppy disk and CD-ROM supplied with your printer. When you operate your computer in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows you to easily change the default settings of the printer such as fonts, page setup, emulations and so on. This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the printer status while running in the background and report the current status or errors on your computer screen. Popular Printer Emulation Support (for HL-1040/1050 only) These printers support the following printer emulation modes; The HL-1040 supports HP LaserJet IIP, Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL The HL-1050 supports HP LaserJet 6P/6L, Epson FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL. When you use DOS application software or WindowsTM version 3.0 or earlier, you can use any of these emulations to operate the printer in the 300 dpi resolution mode. The printers also support Auto-emulation switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If you want to set the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote Printer Console Program. USB Interface (for HL-1050 only) The Universal Serial Bus Interface is an interface which allows the printer to connect to multiple peripheral devices. High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology (for HL-1050 only) High resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. Advanced Photoscale Technology enables the printer to print graphics in 256 grayscales, producing nearly photographic quality. Use this function when you want to print photographic images. Optional Apple Macintosh Interface (for HL-1040/1050 only) An optional Apple Macintosh serial interface is available which allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers. With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC (or compatible) and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or an RS-232C serial interface for an IBM PC or compatible.

Paper Transfer 2.2.1 Paper Supply The pick-up roller picks up one sheet of paper from the paper feeder every time it is rotated and feeds it to the paper feed roller.
Papers Pick-up roller
Registration sensor lever
Hopper plate
Separation pad Fig. 2-31
The paper is gripped between the pick-up roller and the separation pad and separated into individual sheets. The pick-up roller is directly connected to the sector gear, whose rotation is forcibly stopped by the gear stopper. When the pick-up solenoid is activated, the clutch mechanism is engaged by the solenoid action and the sector gear is driven; when it has completed one full turn its rotation is stopped again by the gear stopper. The paper drawn out by the pick-up roller pushes against the top of form sensor lever and the paper top position/absence of paper is detected by sensing the motion of the lever. 2.2.2 Paper Registration
When paper picked up from the multi-purpose sheet feeder (MPF) pushes against the top of form sensor actuator, the registration sensor lever is caused to turn, and the photo sensor detects this motion. When this signal from the sensor is detected the paper feed roller is stopped temporarily by the clutch. The paper is fed to the nip point between the paper feed roller and the pinch roller in the multi-purpose sheet feeder, and the skew of the paper is corrected by pushing the leading edge of the paper against the nip point. When the paper feed roller starts to be rotated again when it is released by the clutch, paper with the leading edge correctly aligned, is fed by the paper feed roller and is transported to the transfer roller.

Discharges the electrostatic latent image on the drum. 2.5 Print Process 2.5.1 Charging The drum is charged to approx. +1150V by an ion charge which is generated by the primary charger. The charge is generated by ionization of the corona wire, which has a DC bias from the high-voltage power supply applied to it. The flow of the ion charge is controlled by the grid to ensure it is distributed evenly on the drum surface. The drum sleeve is regulated to approx. 280V by the voltage regulator.

The primary charge uses a corona wire, but since the drum is positively charged, only less than 1/10 of the usual quantity of ozone is generated compared with the negatively charged drum. The level of ozone expelled from the printer is therefore not harmful to the human body. Applicable safety standards have been complied with.

Developing
Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller (which is also made of conductive sponge) rotate against each other. The toner is charged and carried from the supply roller to the development roller. The toner adheres to the development roller and is conveyed to the drum at an even thickness controlled by the blade. The toner is nipped between the development roller and the drum and developed onto the latent image on the drum. The electrostatic field between the drum and the development roller, which is DC-biased from the high-voltage power supply, creates the electrostatic potential to attract toner particles from the development roller to the latent image area on the drum surface.

2.5.4 Transfer (a) Transfer process After the drum has been charged and exposed, and has received a developed image, the toner formed is transferred onto the paper by applying a negative charge to the back of the paper. The negative charge applied to the paper causes the positively charged toner to leave the drum, and adhere to the paper. As a result, the image is visible on the paper. (b) Cleaning process of transfer roller If the toner is not transferred onto the paper perfectly, it is possible that there may be residual toner on the drum which will adhere to the transfer roller. The transfer voltage changes to a positive voltage during non-printing rotation of the drum. Therefore the transfer roller is cleaned by returning the positively charged toner adhering to the transfer roller onto the photo-conductive drum.
II-32
2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper but some remains on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed and collected on the cleaning roller itself. The residual toner on the cleaning roller will be discharged to the drum during starting or non-printing time. The toner will be collected by the developing roller and reused (for further developing). 2.5.6 Erasing Stage
Before the cleaning stage, the drum surface is exposed to the light emitted from the erase lamp (LED lamp). This stage prepares the drum by decreasing its surface voltage uniformly, ready to receive a uniform charge in the primary charging stage. 2.5.7 Fixing Stage
The image transferred to the paper by static electricity is fixed by heat and pressure when passing through the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fixing unit. The thermistor ASSY keeps the surface temperature of the heat roller constant by detecting the surface temperature of the heat roller and turning on or off the halogen heater lamp.

CHAPTER III DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To avoid creating secondary problems by mishandling, be careful to follow the following precautions during maintenance work. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Always turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before accessing any parts inside the printer. Be careful not to lose screws, washers, or other parts removed. Be sure to apply grease to the gears and applicable positions specified in this chapter. When using soldering irons or other heat-generating tools, take care not to accidentally damage parts such as wires, PCBs, and covers. Before handling any PCBs, touch a metal portion of the equipment to discharge any static electricity charge on your body, or the electronic parts or components may be damaged. When transporting PCBs, be sure to wrap them in the correct protective packaging. Be sure to replace self-tapping screws correctly, if removed. Unless otherwise specified, tighten screws to the following torque values. TAPTITE, BIND or CUP B M3 : 7kgf · cm M4 : 10kgf · cm TAPTITE, CUP S M3 : 8kgf · cm SCREW M3 : 7kgf · cm M4 : 8kgf · cm (8) When connecting or disconnecting cable connectors, hold the connector body, not the cables. If the connector has a lock, release the connector lock first to release it. After a repair, check not only the repaired portion but also all connectors. Also check that other related portions are functioning properly before operational checks.
