Precautions

1.3 ESD Precautions

Certain semiconductor devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called “Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices”, or ESDs. Examples of typical ESDs are: integrated circuits, some field effect transistors, and semiconductor “chip” components.

The techniques outlined below should be followed to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

Caution >>Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

1. Immediately before handling a semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, employ a commercially available wrist strap device, which should be removed for your personal safety reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESDs, place the assembly on a conductive surface, such as aluminum or copper foil, or conductive foam, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup in the vicinity of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESDs.

4. Use only an “anti-static” solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.

5. Do not use Freon-propelled chemicals. When sprayed, these can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.

6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective packaging until immediately before installing it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with all leads shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or a comparable conductive material.

7. Immediately before removing the protective shorting material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

8. Maintain continuous electrical contact between the ESD and the assembly into which it will be installed, until completely plugged or soldered into the circuit.

9. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Normal motions, such as the brushing together of clothing fabric and lifting one’s foot from a carpeted floor, can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD.

2.2.2.2 Line Interface.

This part connects the set with the PSTN. The main functions of this section are Line Interface, Line Monitoring, and connection to an external phone or TAD using the built in EXT connector..

2.2.2.3 Print Engine.

The Print Engine consists of the following sections: Frame, Paper Feed, Image Transfer, Imaging Unit, Toner Cartridge, Fuser, High Voltage Supply and Scanner. The set uses an Electro Photographic process using the LSU to develop a latent image on the OPC drum. The Toner process is a single part diamagnetic process. Copy and Transfer processes use a CIS Module.

2.2.2.5 Summary of Main Unit

- Main Board

This is an integral unit having the Engine and Video control on a single PBA. It controls the Electrophotographic Process to take the image from the PC Interface and generate the Video Data for the LSU. It also manages the transfer of that image onto paper and the fusing of the image. The main PBA unit consists of the following circuits: Motor (Paper Feed and Exit) Driver, the Clutch driver, Pre-transfer Lamp Driver, the Fuser Driver and the Fan Driver. The signals from the Paper Feed Sensor, the Paper Empty Sensor, MP sensor and Exit Sensor are input to the Main Board from the SMPS/HVPS PBA.

2.2.2 Overview of System

The F-114 / F-114P can be divided into the following main constituent parts: Main Controller, Operator’s Panel, PC Interface, Scanner, Line Interface and Power Supply. The Main Controller uses an SPGPm processor. The Operator’s panel; (OPE) has its own MICOM which communicates serially with a UART built into the SPGPm processor. The Scanner uses an Image Processor chip (CIP4) to control the CIS. The Line Interface an FM336 integrated with the Main Board and communicates with the LIU at speeds up to 33.6Kbps. The Power Supply has

both the SMPS and HVPS integrated on one PBA.

2.2.2.1 Main Controller.

The Main Controller of the F-114 / F-114P consists of two ASICs (CPU, Image Processor), Scanner, Fax Modem and Print sections. Bus Control, I/O Handling, Scanner, all motor drivers and the PC Interface function is controlled by the CPU. It uses the chorus2. These control the peripherals and the Image Processing.

2.2.2.4 Scanner.

The scanner is designed around a 200dpi CIS module. The CIS scanning width is maximum 216mm, effective width is 208mm. The F-114 operates at 200lpi, the F-114P operates at 300 lpi.

2-9

Product spec and feature

- SMPS Board & HVPS Board

These are integrated into a singe PBA. The Power Supply uses the 110VAC/220VAC supply voltage to generate the DC Voltages used by the system. The SMPS has 3 output channels (+5V, +12V, +24V, +24VS) and supplies the Main Board and the OPE Board.

The HVPS creates the high voltages (THV/MHV/Supply/Dev) used for the electrophotographic process. The high voltage is created from the 24VS line from the SMPS. High Voltage output is supplied to the Toner, the OPC Cartridge and the Transfer Roller.

- OPE Board

The Operation Panel is driven by its own internal program using the OPE MICOM chip separate from the Main Board processor. Data is transferred using the UART Port in the Main Controller serially. This unit consists of the MICOM, the Key Pad Matrix and the LCD.

- Toner Cartridge

The Toner Cartridge consists of integrated Exposure and Developer units. The Exposure Unit consists of the OPC Drum and the Charge Roller, and the Developer Unit consists of the toner particles and its tank, the Supply Roller and the Developer Roller.

- LSU (Laser Scanner Unit)

This is the core of the laser printer. It converts the video data received from the computer into an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the OPC drum. This is achieved by controlling the laser beam and exposing the surface of the OPC drum to the laser light. A rotating polygon mirror reflects the laser light onto the OPC and each side of the mirror is one scan line. The OPC drum turns as the paper feeds to scan the image down the page.

The /HSYNC signal is created when the laser beam from LSU reaches the end of the polygon mirror and this signal is sent to the controller. The controller detects the /HSYNC signal to adjust the vertical line of the image on paper. In other words after the /HSYNC signal is detected the image data is sent to the LSU to adjust the left margin on the paper.

- Toner Transfer

Toner is transferred from the OPC drum onto the paper using a PTL (Pre-transfer Lamp) and a transfer roller. The PTL shines light onto the OPC, this reduces the electrical charge on the surface of the OPC surface and improves the efficiency of the transfer. The transfer roller transfers toner from the OPC drum to the paper. Life span: Print over 100,000 sheets (at 15~30ºC)

- Fuser

This consists of a heat lamp, heat roller, pressure roller, thermistor and thermostat. By use of heat and pressure toner is caused to melt and adhere to the paper surface in order to complete the printing process.

2.2.4.4 Sensor input circuit

1) Paper Empty Sensor

The Paper Empty sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the SMPS/HVPS PBA is monitored by the CPU on signal(nP_EMPTY, CN3-Pin 1). When the cassette is empty the printer displays a message on the LCD panel.

2) MP Sensing

Presence of paper in the MP tray is detected by operation of the MP Sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the SMPS/HVPS PBA. The CPU monitors signal(MP_EMPTY, CN3-Pin 13) to recognize paper in the MP, and paper is fed from MP if there is paper present.

3) Paper Feed Sensor, (Toner Cartridge Sensor)

When paper passes the actuator on the feed sensor, it is detected by the Photo interrupter. signal(nP_FEED, CN3-Pin 2) monitored by the CPU and this signal starts the process of creating the image after certain delay time If the feed sensor is not detected within 1 sec. after paper is fed, a paper Jam0 occurs. (Displayed on the LCD panel). When a toner cartridge is inserted it also operates the Paper Feed sensor. A message is displayed on the LCD if no cartridge is detected.

4) Paper Exit Sensor

This detects that paper exits cleanly from the Machine using an exit sensor on the engine board and actuator on the frame. The monitors signal(P_EXIT, CN3-Pin 26) and detects the on/off time of the exit sensor and if jam status is detected then JAM2 is displayed the on the LCD panel.

5) Cover Open Senser

The Cover open sensor actuator is located on the front cover and the senor is in the main frame. When the front cover is opened the +24VS to the DC fan, solenoid, main motor, polygon motor part of LSU, HVPS that are cut off. The CPU monitors

signal(COVER_OPEN)

to recognize when the cover is opened.

6) DC FAN / SOLENOID Driving

It is driven by a transistor and controlled by signal(FAN, CN3-Pin 24) bit of the CPU. When it is high the fan is activated by turning on the TR, and it is off when the sleep mode is selected. There are two solenoids and these are driven by the Paper Pick-up and MP signals. The drive time is 300ms. The diode protects the driving TR from the Back-EMF pulse which is generated when the solenoid is de-energized.

7) Motor Driving

The motor driving circuit is activated when the Driver IC is enabled. An A3977 (Motor driver IC) is used in this case. The resistance Rs value of sensing and the voltage value of the V reference can be changed by the motor driving voltage value.

2.2.5 SMPS & HVPS

The SMPS and HVPS are on one integrated board. The SMPS supplies the DC power to the system. It takes either 110V or 220V and outputs the +5V,

-5V/0.5A, 12V and 24V supplies to the main and ADF PBAs. The HVPS creates the high voltage of THV/MHV/Supply/Dev and supplies it to the toner cartridge. The CPU is used to modify some of these voltage settings to provide the ideal voltages to create the image. The HVPS part uses the 24V and outputs the high voltage for THV/MHV/BIAS and the outputted high voltage is supplied to the toner, OPC cartridge and transfer roller.
