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, accompanies the symbol

represents the path of mechanical drive—where a signal name

, 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 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 reasons, 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.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

I. FEATURES

1. Personal Copier with a Zoom Function and a Fixed Copyboard

• You can choose either a default enlargement/reduction ratio or any ratio between 70% and 141% in 1% increments.

2. Ecology-Conscious

• The use of a roller charging method has resulted in a considerable reduction of ozone: 0.01 ppm or less on the average, 0.02 ppm or less at maximum (1/100 to 1/1000 compared with existing Canon machines).

3. SURF Fixing Assembly

• The wait time is 0 sec (at 20°C room temperature), enabling speedy copying work immediately after power-on.

4. Various Paper Sizes

• The paper may be between A4 (LGL) and A5 (STMT) (*Using the universal cassette).

• In manual feed mode, paper may be as large as A4 (LGL) or as small as a business card.

5. All-in-One Cartridge for Simple Maintenance

• The photosensitive drum, toner case, charging roller, developing assembly, and cleaning assembly are constructed as a single entity (cartridge). The user may expect quality copy images at all times as long as he/she performs simple replacement/cleaning work.

6. Large Paper Source

• The source of paper may contain as many as 550 sheets of paper (500-sheet cassette + multifeeder; multifeeder type).

7. Separate top unit

• The machine’s top unit may be opened to make jam removal easy.

8. ADF Type

• Continuous copying is possible with the use of the ADF.

V. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY THE USER

Instruct the user to clean the following if images tend to be soiled or copy paper tends to jam

often.

1. Soiled Images

a. Copyboard Glass/Copyboard Cover

Clean the cover with a moist cloth (with water or mild detergent solution); then, dry wipe it.

b. Feeding Belt (ADF type) b.1 Cleaning in Feeder Cleaning Mode

1) Turn on the machine, and hold down the Copy Density Mode Selection key for 4 sec or more.

• The count/ratio indicator will indicate ‘U6’.

Zoom

Figure 1-501

2) Place about 10 sheets of blank copy paper (A4/LTR) on the original tray of the ADF.

3) Press the Copy Start key.

• Copy paper will be fed from the original tray.

• The indicator flashes ‘U6’ while the feeder is being cleaned.

4) Press the Copy Density Mode Selection key to end the mode.

Caution:

• You cannot start feeder cleaning mode while the machine is making copies or if an error

exists.

• The auto power-off mechanism does not operate while feeder cleaning mode is being

executed.
