Sequence of operation
The DC controller in the engine-control system controls the operational sequences of the product. The
following table describes durations and operations for each period of a print operation from when the
product is turned on until the motor stops rotating.
Normal sequence of operation
Table 1-1 Sequence of operation
Name Timing Purpose
WAIT From the time the power switch is turned on or the
door is closed until the product is ready for a print
operation.
STBY (standby) From the end of the WAIT or LSTR period until either
a print command is sent or the power switch is
turned off.
INTR (initial
rotation)
PRINT From the end of the INTR period until the last sheet
LSTR (last
rotation)
From the time the print command is received until the
temperature of the fuser unit reaches its targeted
temperature.
completes the fuser operation.
From the end of the PRINT period until the main
motor stops rotating.
Brings the product to printable condition. The
product performs the following during the operation:
Detects the toner cartridge
●
Maintains the product in printable condition.
Starts up the high-voltage biases, the laser/scanner,
and the fuser unit for printing.
Forms the image on the photosensitive drum based
on the VIDEO signals from the formatter. Transfers
and fuses the toner image to the paper.
Moves the last printed sheet out of the product.
The product enters the INTR period as the LSTR
period is completed, if the formatter sends another
print command.
ENWW
Basic operation

Formatter-control system
The formatter is responsible for the following procedures:
Controlling power states of the product
●
Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces
●
Monitoring control-panel functions and relaying printer-status information (through the control
●
panel and the network or bidirectional interface)
Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the DC controller printed circuit
●
assembly (PCA)
Storing font information
●
Communicating with the host computer through the network or the bidirectional interface
●
The formatter receives a print job from the network or bidirectional interface and separates it into
image information and instructions that control the printing process. The DC controller PCA
synchronizes the image-formation system with the paper-input and -output systems, and then signals the
formatter to send the print-image data.
Auto on/Auto off mode
This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time by using
two power-saving modes: Sleep mode and Auto off mode.
The product enters Sleep mode after a specified period of idle time. The default idle time to enter Sleep
mode is fifteen minutes. The “Ready” LED on the front of the product remains lit when the product is in
Sleep mode.
The product enters Auto on/Auto off mode after a specified period of idle time. The default idle time to
enter Auto off mode is thirty minutes. The “Ready” LED on the front of the product turns off when the
product is in Auto on/Auto off mode.
The product enters Auto off/Manual on mode after a specified period of time when no wake events are
selected.

Input/output
The product receives print data primarily from the gigabit LAN interface and fax data from telecom
interface. The product also has a USB 2.0 port for connecting directly to a computer and a USB 2.0
HOST port for connecting to a portable storage device. The M521dw products are capable of
receiving print data from 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
CPU
The formatter incorporates a 800 MHz processor.

Formatter-control system

Memory
The random access memory (RAM) on the formatter PCA contains the page, I/O buffers, and the font
storage area. It stores printing and font information received from the host system, and can also serve
to temporarily store a full page of print-image data before the data is sent to the print engine.
NOTE: If the product encounters a problem when managing available memory, a clearable warning
message appears on the control panel display.
Firmware
The firmware is contained on the formatter. A remote firmware update process is used to overwrite and
update the firmware on the formatter.
Nonvolatile memory
The product uses nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) and Flash memory to store device and
user configuration settings. The contents of NVRAM are retained when the product is turned off or
disconnected. The product uses Flash memory to store system firmware and the SmartInstall package.
Control panel
The formatter sends and receives product status and command data to and from the control-panel PCA.
6 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
Engine-control system
The engine-control system coordinates all product functions, according to commands that the formatter
sends. The engine-control system drives the system, the image formation system, and the pickup/feed/
delivery system.
The engine control system contains the following major components:
