Sequence of operation
The product operational sequence is controlled by the DC controller that is on the engine control
system. The following table describes each period of a print operation from when the product is turned
on until the motor stops rotating.
4 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
Table 1-2 Sequence of operation
Period Duration Purpose Remarks
WAIT From the time the power is
turned on or the door is
closed until the drum-phase
adjustment is complete
STBY (Standby period) From end of the WAIT or
LSTR period until either the
print command is received
from the formatter or the
power is turned off
INTR (Initial rotation) From the time the print
command is received until the
fuser temperature reaches its
target temperature
PRINT From the end of INTR period
until the fuser paper sensor
detects the trailing edge of
paper
LSTR (Last rotation) From the end of the PRINT
period until the delivery motor
stops rotating
Brings the product to the
ready state
Maintains the product in
readiness for a print
command
Prepares the high-voltage
biases, laser scanner, and
fuser for printing
Forms the images on the
photosensitive drum and
transfers the toner image to
the print media
Moves the printed sheet out
of the product, and stops the
output from the laser scanner
and high-voltage biases
The product detects the toner
level, cartridge presence, and
environment.
The product enters sleep
mode when the formatter
sends a sleep command.
The product enters the INTR
period as soon as the
formatter sends another print
command.

Engine control system
The engine control system coordinates all product functions and drives the other three systems.
The engine control system contains the DC controller, high-voltage power supply PCA, and low-voltage
power supply.
