vii

SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

SAFETY WARNINGS

[1] Modifications Not Authorized by

Konica

Konica copiers are renowned for their high reliability. This
reliability is achieved through high-quality design and a solid
service network.

Photocopier design is a highly complicated and delicate
process where numerous mechanical, physical, and electri­cal aspects have to be taken into consideration, with the aim
of arriving at proper tolerances and safety factors. For this
reason, unauthorized modifications involve a high risk of
degrading performance and safety. Such modifications are
therefore strictly prohibited. The points listed below are not
exhaustive, but they illustrate the reasoning behind this
policy.

PROHIBITED ACTIONS :

(1) Using extension cables or a different power cord

than specified by Konica.

(2) Using other fuses than specified by Konica. Safety

will not be assured, leading to a risk of fire and
injury.

(3) Disabling fuses or bridging fuse terminals with wire,

metal clips, solder or similar. (This applies also to

thermal fuses.)
(4) Removing air filters (except for replacement).
(5) Disabling relay functions (such as wedging paper

between relay contacts, etc.).
(6) Disabling safety functions (interlocks, safety cir-

cuits, etc.). Safety will not be assured, leading to a

risk of fire and injury.
(7) Performing actions to copier not described in the

instruction manual or the service handbook.
(8) Using parts other than specified by Konica.

1. Advance Preparation for Safety Checks

CAUTION:

(1) Wear clothing that facilitates work and is designed

for safety.
(2) Carry out all procedures carefully to prevent injury.
(3) Be sure to disconnect the power cord of the copier

and all optional equipment from the AC outlet.

Simply turning off the power switch is not sufficient,

because paper feed units or other electrical equip-

ment may be powered also when the power switch

is turned off.
(4) Proceed with special care when performing opera-

tion checks or adjustment while the unit is powered.

When carrying out operation checks or adjustment

while external covers are removed, the risk of elec-

trical shock exists when touching parts which carry

high voltage or electrical charge. The risk of injury

exists when touching moving parts such as gears or

chains.

2. Safety Checkpoints

The following list is not exhaustive, but it includes actions
which must be carried out at every on-site service.

CAUTION:

(1) Check external covers and the frame for sharp

edges, burrs, or nicks.
(2) Check external covers and hinges for loosening or

damage.
(3) Check wiring for squeezing or damage.
(4) Check power cord for insulation problems (conduc-

tor must not be exposed).
(5) Check power cord and cable ties etc. for loosening

from frame.

[2] Checkpoints When Performing On-site

Service

Konica copiers are extensively tested before shipping, to
ensure that all applicable safety standards are met, in order
to protect the customer and customer engineer from the risk
of injury. However, in daily use, any electrical equipment may
be subject to parts wear and eventual failure. In order to
maintain safety and reliability, the customer engineer must
perform regular safety checks.

WARNING:

(1) Verify that the copier is properly grounded. If a

problem is detected, establish a proper ground

connection.
(2) Connecting the ground lead to an improper point

such as listed below results in a risk of explosion

and electric shock.

Unsuitable ground points:

- Gas pipe

- Lightning rod

- Telephone line ground

- Plastic water pipe or water pipe or faucet that has
not been approved by authorities for grounding
use

viii

3. Description of Safety Checks

CAUTION:

(1) Before performing safety check work, read all rel-

evant documentation (service handbook, technical
notices, etc.) and proceed according to the pre­scribed procedure, using only the prescribed tools.
Do not carry out any adjustments not described in
the documentation.

(2) If the power cord is damaged, replace it only with the

specified power cord. If the power cord insulation
has been damaged and there are exposed sections,
short- circuits and overheating may occur, leading to
a serious fire risk.

(3) Do not route the power cord so that it can be stepped

on or pinched. Otherwise overheating may occur,
leading to a serious fire risk.

(4) When disconnecting any cables, always grasp the

connector and not the cable (especially in the case of
AC and high-voltage leads).

(5) Carefully remove all toner remnants from electrical

parts, electrodes, etc.

(6) Make sure that wiring cannot come into contact with

sharp edges, burrs, or other pointed parts.

(7) Double-check to make sure that all screws, compo-

nents, wiring, connectors, etc. that were removed for
safety check maintenance have been reinstalled in
the original location. (Pay special attention to forgot­ten connectors, pinched cables, forgotten screws,
etc.)

(8) When installation and preventive maintenance, verify

that the power cord has been securely plugged into
the AC outlet. Contact problems may lead to in­creased resistance, overheating, and the risk of fire.

WARNING:

(1) Before disassembling or adjusting the write unit or

any parts that use a laser, make sure that the power
cord has been disconnected.

(2) Do not remove the main cover of the write unit. Direct

exposure of the eye to laser beams may lead to
blindness.

(3) Do not turn the copier on while the write unit is not

installed in its normal position.

(4) Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced,

replace only with the same or equivalent recom­mended by the manufacturer. Discard used batter­ies according to the manufacture's instructions.

VORSICHT:

des Herstellers.

SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

[3]

Handling of Materials for Servicing

CAUTION: Drum cleaner (alcohol-based) and roller

cleaner (acetone- based) are highly flam­mable and must be handled with care.
When using these materials for clean­ing of copier parts, observe the follow-

ing precautions.
(1) Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
(2) Use only a small amount of cleaner at a time and take

care not to spill any liquid. If this happens, immedi­ately wipe it off.

(3) Perform cleaning only in an environment where

sufficient ventilation is assured. Breathing large
quantities of organic solvents can lead to discom­fort.

(4) Do not replace the cover or turn the unit on before

any solvent remnants on the cleaned parts have
fully evaporated.

CAUTION: Toner and developer are not harmful

substances, but care must be taken not

to breathe excessive amounts or let the

substances come into contact with eyes

etc. It may be stimulative. If the sub-

stances get in the eye, rinse it with

plenty of water immediately. When

symptoms are noticeable, consult a

physician.

[4] Measures to Take in Case of an

Accident

(1) If an accident has occurred, the distributor who has been

notified first must immediately take emergency mea­sures to provide relief to affected persons and to prevent
further damage.

(2) If a report of a serious accident has been received from

a customer, an on-site evaluation must be carried out
quickly and Konica Corporation must be notified.

(3) To determine the cause of the accident, conditions and

materials must be recorded through direct on-site checks,
in accordance with instructions issued by Konica Corpo­ration.

(4) For reports and measures concerning accidents, con-

sult your superior, and follow the regulations set in
"Standards for the Control Program for Measures Against
Electrical Equipment Accidents".

[5] Conclusion

(1) Safety of users and customer engineers depends highly

on accurate maintenance and administration. There­fore, safety can be maintained by the appropriate by the
proper daily service work conducted by the customer
engineer.

(2) When performing service, each copier on the site must

be tested for safety. The customer engineer must verify
the safety of parts and ensure appropriate management
of the equipment.

SAFETY CIRCUITS

SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

This unit incorporates the following electrical safety circuits
to guard against the risk of accidents in case of any
malfunction.

[1] Overall protection circuit

[2] L2/L3 (fixer heater lamps) overheat protection circuit
Operation principles of these safety circuits are described
below. It is necessary to understand this information fully, in
order to prevent mistakes during servicing.

[1] Overall protection circuit

LBR

1. LBR (line breaker) protection

When an excessively large current flows due to a short-

circuit in the AC line, the AC line itself is instantly cut off

due to the action of this circuit breaker.

[2] L2/L3 (fixer heater lamps) overheat

protection circuit

DCPS1CB

RL1

PRDB

RL1

TH2TH1

Control
section

1. Software protection

The output voltage of TH1 (fixer temperature sensor 1) is
constantly read by the CPU. If the voltage becomes
abnormal, L2 (fixer heater lamp 1), L3 (fixer heater lamp

2), and RL1 (main relay) are set to OFF.

CAUTION: The clearance between the roller and

TH1 may not be altered.
After replacement, verify that dimensions
correspond to specifications.
RL1 may not be disabled under any cir­cumstances.

AC driver
section

TS

L2

L3

CAUTION: The line breaker must not be disabled

under any circumstances.

2. Hardware protection

The output voltages of TH1 and TH2 (fixer temperature
sensors) are compared to a reference voltage in the
comparator circuit. If the voltage exceeds the threshold,
L2, L3, and RL1 are set to OFF in hardware.

CAUTION: Periodically check the roller contact area

of TH2 and replace the sensor if any
problem is detected.
Since the TH1 is non-contact, check the
distance from the roller and installing
orientation of the sensor when an abnor­mality has occurred.
RL1 may not be disabled under any cir­cumstances.

3. TS (thermostat) protection

If the fixer roller temperature exceeds the threshold, TS
goes OFF and directly cuts power to L2 and L3.

CAUTION: TS may not be replaced by any other

conductor.
Do not change the distance between the
TS and roller.

1. Operation

a. Operation of M2

M2 is a stepping motor which drives the exposure
unit. It rotates in the forward or reverse direction and
also changes speed according to the particular
scanning control operation.
The position of the exposure unit is controlled and
monitored by PS3 alone. The drive period and
direction of rotation of M2 are controlled by the
number of count pulses from when PS3 goes ON or
OFF.
The ICB continuously monitor the state of motion of
M2. It acquires the control timing related to paper
feed from the number of drive count pulses.

When SW2 (sub power) is turned ON, the exposure
unit performs a home position search. The home

e. Exposure scan mode

There are two exposure scanning modes, a platen
mode and a DF mode.
In the platen mode, the exposure unit scans and
reads the original in the same way as in a
conventional copying machine. In the DF mode,
however, the exposure unit remains fixed in the
specified position, and instead the RADF conveys the
original, causing it to be read.

PS3

READ SECTION

f. Scanning operation during DF mode

The read position in the DF mode is on the paper exit
side of PS3 (optics HP). While the exposure unit is
moving from the standby position (platen APS read
position) to the DF read position, the shading
correction read operation takes place.
Upon reaching the DF read position, the exposure
unit remains there until the original has been read,
upon completion of reading, then once again moves
to the platen APS read position and goes into a
standby status.

1. Operation

L1 is a xenon lamp which is driven by an inverter
circuit.
A xenon lamp provides a stable light intensity and
also generates relatively little heat, hence it does not
require a light intensity control circuit that is used in
conventional copying machines, and also protective
control that is normally required due to heat
generation from the lamp is no longer used.

The original is read by the CCD sensor installed on
the ADB (A/D converter board).

1. Operation

The light from the exposure lamp reflects back from
the original, passes through a lens, and hits the CCD
sensor. The CCD sensor generates an anolog
electrical signal corresponding to the light intensity.
The ADB then converts this signal into a digital
signal.

a. Original read operation

The original read timing is as follows.

(1) During a platen copy operation

PS3 (optics HP) goes OFF after the specified time
from when the Start button is pressed, and then the
exposure unit moves 2 mm to the paper feed side.

(2) During a DF copy operation

After the specified time from the ON of PS308
(original feed detect) by original leading edge.

APS takes place as a result of the signals read by the
APS sensors and CCD sensor being sent to the ICB
(image control board) when the RADF is opened and
closed.

Related signals are PS3, PS4 (APS timing) and PS301
(DF open/close detect).

1. Operation

a. APS detection operation

The APS detection operation differs depending upon
whether the platen mode or DF mode is used.

(1) During a DF copy operation

An original size is detected by ON or OFF of PS302
(original size detect 1) and PS303 (original size detect

2) on the paper feed tray of RADF, and resistance
value of VR301 (original size detect).

(2) During a platen copy operation

APS detection is used to detect the original size. This
is done by combining the ON/OFF signals from PS25
(APS 1) and PS26 (APS 2) with the detection signal
from the CCD sensor mounted on ADB.

2-C-5

READ SECTION

PS25 (APS 1) and PS26 (APS 2) detect the original
size in the sub-scanning direction, and the CCD
sensor detects the original size in the main scanning
direction.
During APS detection, when L1 (exposure lamp)
lights, gradations of light intensity occur in the main
scanning direction due to the presence of an original.
The CCD sensor detects these gradations of light
intensity along one line, and the ICB (image control
board) judges the size of the original in the main
scanning direction from the positional relationship
between the two points where the light intensity level
switches from black generated by a sky shot to white
generated by the edge of the original.
Close RADF, then detection of the original size in the
main scanning direction takes place once again at
the instant PS301 (DF open/close detect) goes ON,
and the original size is confirmed.
PS25 and PS26 each consist of an LED and a
photosensor. Light emitted from each LED is
reflected off the original, and received by the
photosensor, thus enabling the size of the original to
be detected.
The PS25 and PS26 consist of LEDs and
photosensors. APS detection takes place as a result
of the light emitted from each LED being reflected off
the original and received by the photosensor.

b. APS detection timing

The APS detection timing differs depending upon

(1) During a DF copy operation

When either the DF mode is selected or an original is
placed in the RADF paper feed tray, the original size
is detected by PS302 (original size detect 1), PS303
(original size detect 2) and VR301 (original size
detect).

(2) During a platen copy operation

• When PS4 (APS timing) is ON and PS301 is ON

• If RADF is open, the original size is detected when
the Start button is pressed.

When an AE scanning takes place, the CCD sensor
installed on the ADB (A/D converter board) reads the
original density, and the ICB (image control board)
performs processing corresponding to the read
results and selects the optimum γ correction curve for
the original reproduction. This operation is called AE
control. The selection of this γ correction curve is
done by the CPU on the ICB.

M5 (polygon) is driven by the PMDB (Polygon motor
drive board), and is controlled by the SCDB (scanner
drive board).

1. Operation

a. M5 is a 3-phase brushless DC motor which is driven

using a 3-phase bipolar method. The current flowing
through the windings is switched according to the
position of the rotor which is detected by a sensor
(magnetic sensor) inside the motor.
This motor rotates the polygon mirror, causing the
laser beam from LDB (lazer drive board) to be
scanned in the axial direction of the drum. The
speed of the motor is maintained constant by PLL
control.

b. M5 is powered by 24 VDC. The rotational speed is

as follows.

2. Signals

a. Input signals

(1) POLY PULL LOCK (PMDB to SCDB)

M5 rotation speed monitoring signal
[L]: Normal rotation
[H]: Stop or rotation abnormality

(2) M5 MAG A/A' (M5 to PMDB)

M5 MAG B/B' (M5 to PMDB)
M5 MAG C/C' (M5 to PMDB)
These are output signals from the position sensors
(magnetic sensors) installed inside M5. The PMDB
detects the position of the rotor of the motor by
means of these signals, and switches over the M5
DRIVE A to C output.

b. Output signals

(1) POLY CONT (SCDB to PMDB)

This signal controls the ON/OFF state of M5.
[L]: M5 ON
[H]: M5 OFF

(2) POLY CLK (SCDB to PMDB)

This is a reference clock signal for PLL-controlling M5
in the PMDB.

(3) M5 DRIVE A to C (PMDB to M5)

This is the drive output signal for M5. While M5 is
rotating, voltages are output sequentially from M5
DRIVE A to C, and applied to M5.
The voltage from each output that is applied to M5
consists of the pulses shown below. The pulse width
of this output changes according to the rotation
condition of M5, as shown in the figure, and as a
result the RMS value of the voltage applied to M5
changes, causing the speed to be regulated.

ADB

The analog image data from the CCD sensor is A/D­converted and processed by the ADB (A/D converter
board). The processed image data is memorized by the CB
(control board), then returned to the ICB (image control
board) once again and converted into a laser record signal.
The laser record signal is transmitted via the CB to the LDB
(Laser drive board) by the control signal from the ICB, and
output as an optical signal from the laser installed on the
LDB. The write start position of the laser record signal is
detected by INDEXSB (index sensor board).

1. Operation

a. Image processing

The following processing is carried out by the ICB.

(1) AOC (Automatic Offset Correction)

IC on ADB automatically adjusts analog off set
voltage of CCD sensor output.

(10) Write density control

b. Write

The ICB sends image data one pixel at a time to LDB
in accordance with control signals from the CB.
LDB cause the laser to emit at a time period
corresponding to the image data. This laser light is
applied to the drum.

(1) MPC (Maximum Power Control)

The ICB instructs the LDB to cause the laser to
output the maximum power output value, thus setting
the maximum output value. The LDB stores this
setting, and maintains the laser light intensity stored
by means of the APC (Automatic Power Control)
operation.

<MPC timing>

• When SW2 is turned ON.

(2) APC (Automatic Power Control)

The ICB outputs an APC start instruction to the LDB
at the following timing, after MPC is set.

<APC timing>

• When PLL lock of M5 (polygon) is detected.
After PLL lock is detected, the LDB automatically
monitors the laser drive current one line at a time,
and controls it so that the light intensity remains the
MPC value.

(3) Write Timing

In this machine, the INX signal from INDEXSB
determines the laser write start timing for each scan
in the axial direction of the drum.

(2) AGC (Automatic Gain Correction)

When SW2 (sub power) is turned ON, the white
reference plate is read, and the amplification of the
analog output from the CCD sensor is automatically
adjusted so that the resulting level is the upper limit of
the A/D converter.

During image quality adjustment in the 36 mode, an
SGU test pattern (before gradation correction) is
output, and read by the scanner (CCD) and
memorized.

(For details, refer to the “Adjustment section” in

2) During normal operation (automatic adjustment)
Toner patch patterns (gradation patterns) of

different densities are formed on the drum, and
each toner patch density is read by the Dmax
sensor and memorized as drum gradation data.

The gradation correction value is computed based
on the gradation data of the SGU test pattern read
by the CCD and the drum gradation data read by
the Dmax sensor, and used to optimally correct the
laser output.

level detector) and PRDB (printer drive board).

1. Operation
a. Toner level detection

A piezoelectric device is used as the TLD.
When the level of toner in the toner supply unit
becomes low, the “supply toner” signal is output to
the PRDB. As a result, a message is displayed on
the LCD (display board) via the OB (operation board).

b. Detection timing

The detection timing is as follows.

· When the machine is switched ON

· When the front door is opened and closed

· During a copy operation

c. Toner supply operation to toner supply unit

When TLD detects a no-toner condition, M10 (toner
supply 1) goes ON and supplies toner.

d. Detection of no toner state in toner cartridge

It the no toner state is detected by TLD after M10 has
been held ON for a specified period of time, the toner
cartridge is assumed to be empty.

SD2 (1st paper feed) and SD4 (by-pass) to the respective
paper feed roller and separation roller. At this time, each
paper feed roller is not contact with the paper, hence the
paper feed roller and the by-pass plate are moved up and
down by SD2 and SD4, causing each roller to contact with
the paper. Control of each roller is carried out by the PRDB
(printer drive board). The 2nd paper feed is carried out by
MC1 (registration). Related signals are PS3 (optics HP),
PS14 (open close detection), PS16 (registration) and

when MC1 goes ON, causing the switching guide to
move to the paper reversal and exit side. As a result,
the paper is conveyed to the back side of the reversal
and exit section cover (lower). After the specified time
from when PS28 detects the trailing edge of the
paper and goes OFF, M12 switches to reverse
rotation, and the paper is fed in the reverse direction.
The reverse-fed paper is prevented from returning to
the fixing section by the shape of the switching guide,
and instead is fed to the paper exit section. As a
result, the paper is exited face down.

MC501, MC502 and MC503 are driven by the PRDB
(printer drive board).
Related signals are PS501 (ADU no feed), PS502 (ADU
registration) and PS28 (reversal detection 1).

1. Operation

a. Paper feed control

When PS28 is turned OFF by the paper that is
reversed in the paper reversal and exit section, M501
goes ON, and conveyance roller A rotates, causing
the paper to be conveyed to the ADU. Subsequently,
MC503 goes ON, causing paper exit roller B to rotate
and feed the paper to the ADU.
MC503 goes OFF after the specified time from when
PS501 detects the leading edge of the paper and
goes ON. As a result, the paper strikes the
registration roller, causing an appropriate paper loop
to be formed.

MC502 goes ON after the specified time from when
PS28 goes OFF. As a result, conveyance roller C is
driven so as to assist in the formation of an
appropriate loop. MC502 goes OFF while MC503
goes OFF.

b. Re-start control

MC501 goes ON after the specified time from when
PS501 goes ON, causing the paper to be re-started
and conveyed to the 2nd paper feed section. MC501
goes OFF after the specified time from when it goes
ON.

When the SW1 is turned ON, the AC supply voltage is
applied to the DCPS1. As a result, the DCPS1
supplies 28 VDC voltage to the DCPS2 and PTC.
DCPS2 supplies 12 VDC, -12 VDC, and 5 VDC
power supply voltages to the CB from the 28 VDC
power supply. The 5 VDC power supply voltage are
supplied to the OB via the CB.

b. Parts that operate when the SW2 (sub power) is

turned ON

· SCDB (scanner drive board)

· ICB (image control board)

· PRDB (printer drive board)

· Options
If SW2 is turned ON while SW1 (main power) is ON,

the drive signal from the DC/DC converter is sent
from the CB to the SCDB and 5 VDC and 12 VDC
power supply voltages are generated inside the
SCDB.
As a result, all of the 5 VDC and 12 VDC power
supply voltages are supplied to the ICB, the 5 VDC
and 12 VDC power supply voltages are supplied to
the PRDB, and the 5 VDC power supply voltage is
supplied to the control board of each option.
Subsequently, a control signal is sent from the PRDB
to DCPS1 (DC power supply 1) to generate the 24
VDC power supply. The 24 VDC power supply
generated inside DCPS1 is supplied to each drive
board and option, the initial operation performs.
