Symbols Used

This documentation uses the following symbols to indicate special information:

Symbol Description

Indicates an item of a non-specific nature, possibly classified as Note, Caution, or Warning.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid electric shocks.

Indicates an item requiring care to avoid combustion (fire).

Indicates an item prohibiting disassembly to avoid electric shocks or problems.

Indicates an item requiring disconnection of the power plug from the electric outlet.

Indicates an item intended to provide notes assisting the understanding of the topic in question.

Memo

Introduction

REF.

Indicates an item of reference assisting the understanding of the topic in question.

Provides a description of a service mode.

Provides a description of the nature of an error indication.

Introduction

The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer­ence to the timing of operation.

In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.

2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how­ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.

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."

1.2.5 Safety

1.2.5.1 Safety of the Laser Light

LaserBase MF6530 / / LaserBase MF6540PL / LaserBase MF6550 / KaserBase MF6560PL / / LaserBase MF6580PL

Laser light can prove to be hazardous to the human body. The machine's laser unit is fully enclosed in a protective housing and external covers so that its light will
not escape outside as long as the machine is used normally.

1.2.5.2 Safety of Toner

LaserBase MF6530 / / LaserBase MF6540PL / LaserBase MF6550 / KaserBase MF6560PL / / LaserBase MF6580PL

The machine's toner is a non-toxic material made of plastic, iron, and small amounts of dye.

0011-3531

0011-3534

Do not throw toner into fire. It may cause explosion.

Toner on Clothing or Skin

1. If your clothing or skin has come into contact with toner, wipe it off with tissue; then, wash it off with water.

2. Do not use warm water, which will cause the toner to jell and fuse permanently with the fibers of the cloth.

3. Do not bring toner into contact with plastic material. It tends to react easily.

1.2.5.3 CDRH Regulations

LaserBase MF6530 / / LaserBase MF6540PL / LaserBase MF6550 / KaserBase MF6560PL / / LaserBase MF6580PL

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the US Food and Drum Administration put into force regulations concerning laser products on August 2, 1976.
These regulations apply to laser products manufactured on and after August 1, 1976, and the sale of laser products not certified under the regulations is banned
within the Untied States. The label shown here indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations, and its attachment is required on all laser products that are sold
