Basic operation

The product routes all high-level processes through the formatter, which stores font information, processes the print image, and communicates with the host computer.
The basic product operation comprises the following systems:
The engine-control system, which includes the power supply and the DC controller printed circuit assembly (PCA)
The laser/scanner system, which forms the latent image on the photosensitive drum
The image-formation system, which transfers a toner image onto the paper
The media feed system, which uses a system of rollers and belts to transport the paper through the product
Option (optional paper feeder)
Figure 1-1 Relationship between the main product systems
Laser/scanner system
Image-formation system
Engine control system
Media-feed system
Option
The interconnect board (ICB) provides connections from the formatter to the following components:
DC controller (DCC)
Scan control board (SCB)
Control panel, USB walk-up port, USB hardware integration pocket through a USB cable
The formatter receives +12 volts from the low-voltage power supply (LVPS).
The automatic document feeder/scanner receives 24 volts from the scanner power supply, which is powered by an AC line from the LVPS.
The intermediate paper transport unit (IPTU) receives +24 volts and 3.3 volts from the DCC.
2 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
The stapling mailbox receives +24 volts and the JetLink control lines for communications from the DCC.
Figure 1-2 System block diagram
ENWW Basic operation 3

Sequence of operation

The DC controller PCA controls the operating sequence, as described in the following table.
Table 1-1 Sequence of operation
Period Duration Description
Waiting From the time the power is turned on, the door is
closed, or when the product exits Sleep mode until the product is ready for printing
Standby From the end of the waiting sequence, the last
rotation until the formatter receives a print command, or until the product is turned off
Initial rotation From the time the formatter receives a print
command until the paper enters the paper path
Printing From the time the first sheet of paper enters the
paper path until the last sheet has passed through the fuser
Heats the fuser sleeve in the fuser
Pressurizes the pressure roller in the fuser
Detects the toner cartridges
Moves the ITB and developing unit to the home position
Cleans the ITB and secondary transfer roller
The product is in the Ready state
The product enters Sleep mode if the sleep command is received from the formatter
The product calibrates if it is time for an automatic calibration
Activates the high-voltage power supply
Prepares each laser/scanner unit
Warms the fuser to the correct temperature
Forms the image on the photosensitive drums
Transfers the toner to the paper
Fuses the toner image onto the paper
Last rotation From the time the last sheet of paper exits the fuser
until the motors stop rotating
Moves the last printed sheet into the output bin
Stops the high-voltage power supply
Stops each laser/scanner unit
If another print command is received, the product enters the initial rotation period when the last rotation is complete.
4 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW

Formatter-control system

The formatter performs the following functions:
Controlling sleep mode
Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces
Monitoring control panel functions and relaying product status information (through the control panel and the network or bi-directional interface)
Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the DC controller 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.

Formatter hardware

The formatter system includes the following components.
Table 1-2 Formatter hardware components
Component Function
Microprocessor Stores fonts and microprocessor control programs.
RAM Stores printing and font information and temporarily stores print-image data before it sent to the
print engine. RAM data is lost when the product is turned off.
NVRAM Stores configuration information. NVRAM is saved when the product is turned off.
USB Sends and receives data through USB type B interface connector (connected to the host computer).
Hard disk drive (HDD)
Solid state module (SSM)
Real time clock This clock is used for the Wake-up time feature. It includes a battery to supply power when the
HP Jetdirect Inside (JDI) JDI is an Ethernet interface that is part of the formatter.
The firmware is contained in the HDD or SSD. A remote firmware upgrade process is used to overwrite and upgrade the firmware on the HDD or SSM.
product is turned off.
ENWW Formatter-control system 5
Sleep mode
NOTE: In the General Settings menu (a submenu of the Administration menu), this item is termed Sleep
Timer Settings.
This feature conserves power after the product has been idle for an adjustable period of time. When the product is in Sleep Mode, the control panel backlight is turned off, but the product retains all settings, downloaded fonts, and macros. The default setting is for Sleep Mode to be enabled, and the product enters Sleep Mode after a 30-minute idle time.
The product exits Sleep Mode and enters the warm-up cycle when any of the following events occur:
NOTE: Product error messages override the Sleep message. The product enters Sleep Mode at the
appropriate time, but the error message continues to appear.
TIP: When the product is in Sleep Mode, the sub power supply is off and the low-voltage power supply is
on. The scanner can not be used when the product is in Sleep Mode.
A print job, valid data, or a PML or PJL command is received
A control panel button is pressed
A cover is opened
A paper tray is opened
The engine-test switch is pressed
Input/output
The product has three I/O interfaces:
CPU
The formatter incorporates an 800 MHz processor.
Memory
The random access memory (RAM) on the formatter printed circuit assembly (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 displays on the control panel display.
Firmware
The hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state module (SSM) store the firmware. A remote firmware upgrade process is used to overwrite and upgrade the firmware on the HDD or SSM.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0
10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN connection with IPv4 and IPv6
Easy-access USB printing (no computer required)
