Operation sequence
The DC controller in the engine-control system controls the operational sequences. The following table
describes durations and operations for each period of a print operation from when the product is
turned on until the motors stop rotating.
Pickup, feed and delivery system

2 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
Table 1-1 Operation sequence
Period Duration Purpose
WAIT period From the time the power switch
is turned on, the door is closed
or product exits Sleep mode
until the product is ready for a
print operation.
STBY (Standby period) From the end of WAIT or LSTR
period until either a print
command is sent or the power
switch is turned off.
INTR (Initial rotation) From the time the print
command is received until the
product picks up the paper.
Brings the product to the Ready state.
Detects the failure of the low-voltage power supply
●
Detects the connection with the accessories
●
Detects the presence of cartridge
●
Rotates and then stops each motor and fan
●
Checks the fuser temperature
●
Heats the fuser film
●
Detects any residual paper and clears it automatically
●
Initializes the high-voltage bias
●
Cleans the photosensitive drum
●
Detects the toner level
●
Maintains the product in printable condition.
Enters Sleep mode if the sleep command is received
●
Rotates and then stops each fan
●
Prepares the product for a print job.
Rotate the motors
●
PRINT From the end of the INTR
period until the last sheet is
delivered.
LSTR (Last rotation) From the end of the PRINT
period until the motor stops
rotating.
Rotate the fans
●
Outputs the high-voltage bias
●
Starts up the laser scanner assembly
●
Warms up the fuser heater
●
Processes the print job.
Forms the image on the photosensitive drum
●
Transfers toner to the paper
●
Fuses the toner image onto the paper
●
Stops each load.
Stops the motors and fans
●
Stops the high-voltage bias
●
Stops the laser scanner assembly
●
Stops the fuser heater
●
The product enters the INTR period as the LSTR period is
complete if the formatter sends another print command.
