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 fi eld. Ther efore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of fro m 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."

1.2.4.1 Cleaning

i-SENSYS MF9170 / i-SENSYS MF9130 / i-SENSYS MF8450

0019-5678

If the original is not copied clearly, clean the machine. For high-quality printouts, we recommend cleaning the machine once or twice a month.

- Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may result in damage to the plastic parts.

- Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.

- Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth
to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around
the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.

MEMO:

- You cannot send or receive documents when the main power switch is turned off or the power cord is disconnected.

- If the main power switch is turned ON, all jobs waiting in the print queue will be erased.

- Documents received into memory and documents stored for delayed send will be retained for approximately 60 minutes after the power cord has been disconnected.

Exterior

2) Wipe the machine’s exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.

Interior

Clean the machine’s print area periodically to prevent toner powder and paper dust from accumulating inside.
