1. General Information

Maintenance Approach

The diagnostic information in this manual leads you to the correct field replaceable unit (FRU) or part. Use the error code charts, symptom index, and service checks to determine the symptom and repair the failure.

After you complete the repair, perform tests as needed to verify the repair.

Tools

The removal and adjustment procedures described in this manual require the following tools and equipment:

Magnetic tip Phillips screwdrivers, large and small

Flat-blade screwdriver

Analog volt ohmmeter (a digital volt ohmmeter may also be used)

Needle nose pliers

When you make voltage readings, always use frame ground unless another ground is specified.

Mechanical Operation

This printer uses three motors to feed paper.

The pick-up motor drives the pick-up roller in the printer or in the multi-function feeder. The rotating direction of the motor determines which roller will be selected.

The paper feed motor drives the paper feed roller.

The main motor drives the fuser, the paper exit roller, and the redrive roller.

General Information 1-3

System Diagram

The central processing unit (CPU) in the main controller controls the entire printer and the data received from the interconnect.

1-4

Printer Operation

1.When the printer receives a printing command, the main motor starts to rotate to initialize the print unit (including the photoconductive drum, developer, cleaning roller, and toner agitator) and to warm up the fuser. The motor in the printhead also starts to rotate to initialize the printhead.

2.The pick-up motor rotates counterclockwise to pick up paper from the paper tray. To print using the multi-function feeder, the host sends a paper select command. When receiving it, the pick-up motor rotates clockwise to drive the pick-up roller of the multi-function feeder. The paper feed motor starts to rotate to turn the paper feed roller.

3.The pick-up motor stops turning when the bottom edge of the paper exits the pick roller. The paper feed motor and the main motor continue to rotate the paper feeder roller, print unit, fuser, exit roller, and redrive roller until the paper passes through.

4.When the mechanism controller detects the bottom edge of the paper by the paper exit sensor, it stops both motors. The printer then waits for the next command.

Paper Feed Drive Mechanism

The main motor and the gear train are mounted on the metal frame.

The power of the pick-up motor gear is distributed to the pick-up roller of the paper tray or that of the multi-function feeder. Selection is determined by the rotating direction of the motor.

The power of the paper feed motor is distributed to the paperfeed roller.

Operation:

1.When the pick-up motor rotates counterclockwise, the power is transmitted to the pick-up roller of the paper tray through the center gear of the epicyclic gear train.

2.When the pick-up motor rotates clockwise, the power is transmitted to the pick-up roller of the multi-function feeder through the circumference gear of the epicyclic gear train.

3.When the paper feed motor rotates counterclockwise, the power

is transmitted to the paper feed roller.

Process Drive Mechanism

The power of the main motor is distributed to the print unit, the fuser, and the paper eject roller. The power of the motor is transmitted to the print unit through gears A, B, C, and D, and to the hot roll of the fuser through gears A,B,C,E, and F.

Print Unit

The print unit consists of a photoconductive drum (OPC drum), precharger assembly, developer assembly, recycle screw, and toner agitator.

General Information 1-7

Gear A receives power from the process drive assembly, transmitting the power to the photoconductive drum gear, the magnet roll (gear B), the toner agitator (gear C), the recycle screw, and gear D.

Fuser

The fuser consists of the hot roll assembly, and the backup roller. The hot roll has a halogen lamp, hot roll, temperature sensor, thermal fuse, and supporting parts. The back-up roller rotates with the hot roll.

Paper Ejection

Paper is ejected either through the rear stacker or the upper exit bin. When the stacker is folded down, paper exits the rear of the printer and rests on the rear stacker. When the stacker is in an upward position, it guides paper through the redrive roller which forces the paper

to the upper exit bin. Roller gears receive power from the hot roll gear.
