INTRODUCTION
This Service Manual contains basic data and figures on the imageRUNNER 600
needed to service the machine in the field. The copier is a multifunction machine designed
to provide printer functions as an option.
This Service Manual consists of the following chapters; refer to the Copier Basic
Series as necessary for common technologies:
CHAPTER 1 General Description introduces the copier’s features and specifications,
shows how to operate the printer unit, and explains how copies are made.
CHAPTER 2 Basic Operation provides outlines of the steps used to generate copies.
CHAPTER 3 Exposure System discusses the principles of operation used for the
mechanical/electrical operations of the copier’s exposure system. It also explains the
timing at which the various units involved are operated, and shows how they may be
disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 4 Image Processing System discusses the principles of operation used for
the mechanical/electrical operations of the copier’s image processing system. It also
explains the timing at which the various units involved are operated, and shows how they
may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 5 Laser Exposure System discusses the principles of operation used for
the mechanical/electrical operations of the copier’s laser exposure system. It also
explains the timing at which the various units involved are operated, and shows how they
may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 6 Image Formation System discusses the principles of how images are
formed. It also explains the timing at which the various units involved in image formation
are operated, and shows how they may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 7 Pick-Up/Feeding System discusses the principles of how the printer unit
picks up and moves paper inside it. It also explains the timing at which the various units
involved are operated, and shows how they may be disassembled/assembled and
adjusted.
CHAPTER 8 Fixing System discusses the principles of how the printer unit fuses toner
images to paper. It also explains the timing at which the various units involved are
operated, and shows how they may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 9 Externals/Auxiliary Mechanisms shows the copier’s external parts, and
explains the principles used for the copier’s various control mechanisms in view of the
functions of electrical and mechanical units and in relation to their timing of operation. It
also shows how these units may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 10 Side Paper Deck discusses the principles of operation used for the
series of operations between pickup and delivery performed by the paper deck. It also
explains the timing at which the various units involved are operated, and shows how they
may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.
CHAPTER 11 Installation introduces requirements for the site of installation, and
shows how the printer unit may be installed using step-by-step instructions.

CHAPTER 12 Maintenance and Servicing provides tables of periodically replaced
parts and consumables/durables and scheduled servicing charts.
CHAPTER 13 Troubleshooting provides tables of maintenance/inspection, standards/
adjustments, and problem identification (image fault/malfunction).
APPENDIX contains a general timing chart and general circuit diagrams.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for
product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the
form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this
Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be able to identify and
isolate faults in the machine.
This Service Manual is prepared so that a full understanding may be attained when it
is used side by side with the separately available Copier Basic Series. Refer to the
appropriate section of the document when prompted as follows:
EX.

When Turning Off the Main Power Switch
Be sure to turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power plug before starting
disassembly/assembly work with the following in mind:
1. When you turn off the main power switch for adding printer functions, any data
being processed at the time may be lost. Check to make sure that the data lamp on
the control panel is off before operating the main power switch.
After turning off the main power switch, disconnect the communication cable from
the printer board so that data will not be accepted during work.
2. Do not turn off the main power switch when downloading is taking place. Otherwise, the machine may stop operating.
3. Some units remain powered even when the control panel power switch is turned
off. Be sure to turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power plug
before starting disassembly/assembly work.
(If the heater switch is on, the cassette heater and the drum heater remain powered even when the main power switch is turned off.)
4. Not all power will be removed even when the front door is opened if both the control
panel power switch and the main power switch are on.
