5CPU OVERRUN MONITOR FUNCTION
•
CPU Overrun Monitor Function (Watchdog Function)
The watchdog function is a self-monitoring function that determines whether any of the
CPUs mounted on the control board overrun.
•
If this function detects that a CPU overruns, the copier automatically resets the CPU,
thereby restarting the logic circuit and mechanism.
•
Even if a copier CPU operates erratically due to electrical noise, therefore, the copier is
able to recover from the faulty condition so that the number of visits made by the Tech.
Rep. for CPU overrun can be minimized.
•
Processing performed during watchdog function:
If a faulty condition is detected, the copier resets the CPU and performs a restart
sequence. Since this sequence of operations is performed even during a copy cycle, the
copier detects a sheet or sheets of paper left inside it as a misfeed while it is being
restarted.

1. Photoelectric Conversion (CCD Sensor)
•
Light reflected off the original is received through mirrors and lens by the CCD Sensor
which, in turn, outputs the corresponding data to the HGB Board.
2. HGB Board
•
After converting the data received from the CCD to an analog signal, the board converts
it to 8-bit image data (A/D conversion). It further makes various corrections and outputs
the resultant image data to the MFB Board over an optical cable.
3. MFB Board
•
This board compresses the image data received from the HGB Board, stores it, and
uncompresses it.
•
The image memory has a standard capacity of 16MB and can be expanded up to 64MB
(optional).

11-5. Scanner and 2nd/3rd Mirrors Carriage Moving Mechanism
<Scanner>
•
During a scan, the Scanner projects an even amount of light from the Exposure Lamp
onto the entire surface of the original. The light is reflected from the original to the 1st
Mirror of the scanner and then to the 2nd and 3rd Mirrors.
•
The Scanner is driven by the Scanner Motor and front and rear Scanner Drive Cables.
•
Scanner speed is determined by the set zoom ratio in reference to the full size mode.
•
The Scanner is at home position when Scanner Home Position Sensor 1 is blocked. This
position serves as the reference for the scan motion.
•
Scanner Home Position Sensor 2 determines the home position of the Scanner when
AF-7 is used.
<2nd/3rd Mirrors Carriage>
•
The 2nd and 3rd Mirrors are mounted to their holder at right angles to each other. They
direct the light reflected off the 1st Mirror through the lens to the CCD.
•
The 2nd/3rd Mirrors Carriage is also moved by the Scanner Drive Cables and pulleys
driven by the Scanner Motor. It travels at a speed half that of the Scanner, thereby keeping constant the optical path length between the Original Glass and lens.

13-1. Sleeve/Magnet Roller
•
This copier employs the MT-HG system with a Sleeve/Magnet Roller having the following
magnetic characteristics.
•
Turning of the sleeve surrounding the Magnet Roller ensures that fresh developer from
the Developer Mixing Chamber is always being conveyed to the point of development
with respect to the PC Drum.
N1: The point of development with the maximum magnetic flux density which
ensures that the carrier is firmly held onto the Sleeve Roller when toner is
attracted to the latent image.
S1, N2 : The magnetic flux density between these two poles is made low to ensure that
the developer remaining on the surface of the Sleeve Roller is smoothly recycled. They also prevent developer from scattering.
N3: The developer brush is formed by this pole and its height is moderated before
the brush is regulated by the Doctor Blade.
S2a: This pole ensures that the developer is conveyed to the point of development
S2b: If developer is compacted and clogs at the Doctor Blade and, as a result, part
over the wide interval between N3 and N1.
of the surface of the Sleeve/Magnet Roller is not covered with developer, the
nearby developer around this pole with a weak magnetic force goes to those
uncovered areas. This helps prevent white lines from occurring on the copy.

13-2. Developing Bias
•
The amount of toner attracted onto the surface of the PC Drum is controlled by varying
the developing bias voltage.
•
As the PC Drum deteriorates and its photoconductive layer begins to wear, it becomes
more sensitive to the increase in the amount of toner . As a countermeasure against this
problem, the developing bias v oltage is automatically s witched according to the PC Drum
temperature, thereby stabilizing the image quality level.

13-3. ATDC Sensor
•
The ATDC Sensor automatic adjustment is made when a new I/C is installed in the
copier. Toner replenishing control is thereafter controlled as detailed in the following.
1. ATDC Sensor Automatic Adjustment
•
The ATDC Sensor is automatically adjusted when a new I/C is loaded in the copier. During this sequence, the copier reads the sensor output value and sets it as the reference.
This reference value is stored in memory and used until the I/C reaches its service life.
2. Toner Replenishing Control
•
While the I/C Motor is turning, the A TDC Sensor samples T/C and, according to the readings, the copier provides the following controls.

13-5. Sub Hopper Toner Empty Detecting Mechanism
•
A toner-empty condition in the Sub Hopper is detected by the Magnet Lever that moves
up and down as the Sub Hopper Toner Agitating Lever turns and actuates and deactuates the Sub Hopper Toner Empty Switch.
•
While the amount of toner in the Sub Hopper is more than the predetermined amount,
the Magnet Lever rests on the toner, keeping the Sub Hopper Toner Empty Switch deactuated even when the Sub Hopper Toner Agitating Lever turns. As toner is consumed,
the Magnet Lever lowers to eventually actuate the Sub Hopper Toner Empty Switch, at
which timing the copier detects a toner-empty condition in the Sub Hopper.

13-6. Main Hopper Toner Replenishing Mechanism
•
When a toner-empty condition in the Sub Hopper is detected, the Main Hopper Toner
Replenishing Motor is energized to turn the Toner Bottle, thereby supplying toner from
the Main Hopper to the Sub Hopper.
•
The Toner Bottle Home Position Sensor mounted on the coupling ensures that the Toner
Supply Port in the Toner Bottle is positioned at the top whenever the bottle is stopped.
•
The Toner Bottle Cover Sensor detects whether the Toner Bottle Cover is open. If the
cover is open, the copier does not authorize the initiation of a new copy cycle. If the
cover is opened during a copy cycle, the copier interrupts the cycle.

16IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION
Image Transfer
•
This copier employs an Image Transfer Roller to transfer the image to the paper. The
High Voltage Unit applies an image transfer current to this roller. To ensure that image
transfer efficiency is stabilized, the image transfer current is automatically v aried according to the paper size, paper type, and the B/W ratio of the original.
•
To prevent toner from sticking to the Image Transfer Roller, an image transfer voltage of
-975V is applied to the roller for cleaning.
Paper Separation
•
To neutralize any charge left on the paper, to which the image has been transferred, the
High Voltage Unit applies a voltage of -1200V via a ground plate to the Charge Neutralizing Plate.
