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.

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.

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.

2.2.3.4 Fixing Part(Fuser)
- The fuser consists of the Heat Lamp, Heat Roller, Pressure Roller, Thermistor, and Thermostat. It fixes
toner to the paper using pressure and heat to complete the printing job.
The thermostat is a temperature sensing device, which cuts off the power to the heat lamp to prevent
overheating fire when the heat lamp or heat roller overheats.
2.2.3.4(b) Temperature Detecting Sensor (Thermistor)
The Thermistor detects the surface temperature of the heat roller, this information is sent to the main
processor which uses this information to regulate the temperature of the heat roller.
2.2.3.4(c) Heat Roller
The surface of the Heat Roller is heated by the Heat Lamp. As the paper passes between the Heat and
Pressure rollers the toner is melted and fixed permanently to the paper. The surface of the roller is coated
with Teflon. This ensures that toner does not adhere to the roller surface.
2.2.3.4(d) Pressure roller
The Pressure Roller mounted under the heat roller, it is made of a silicon resin, and the surface of the roller
is coated with Teflon. This ensures that toner does not adhere to the roller surface.

- Error : IF THV (+) is not present, low density printing occurs due to toner on the OPC Drum not being
transferred to the paper. It is possible that waste toner over-flow can occur if this condition persists.
Ghost images may appear which repeat at 76mm intervals.
2) Charge Voltage (MHV)
- Function : It is this voltage that charges the surface of the OPC to -900V ~ -1000V.
- Output voltage : -1550V DC ± 50V
- Error : IF MHV is not present toner then since the OPC drum surface has no charge toner is attracted to
the whole OPC surface. A black page is printed out when this happens.
3)Cleaning Voltage (THV-)
- Function : It removes toner contamination from the rear side of the paper by sending (-) polarity to the
transfer roller forcing toner to transfer back to the to OPC drum.
- Output Voltage : +300V/-150V
- Error : Smudges and toner contamination on the reverse side of the printed page.
4) Developing Voltage (DEV)
- Function: It is this voltage that develops toner with on to the section of the OPC drum surface exposed
by the LSU
(Laser Scanning Unit).
* When printing the exposed voltage on the OPC is -180V, unexposed is -900~-1000V, and the exposing
voltage on the DEV is -430V. Therefore toner with (-) polarity is developed onto an exposed
section of the OPC.
- Output voltage: -430V DC ± 20V
- Error: a) If DEV is GND, print density gets extremely low.
b) When DEV is floating due to poor connection between the frame and cartridge contacts etc.,
print density gets extremely high.
5) Supply Voltage (SUP)
- Function: It is this voltage that supplies toner to the developing roller.
- Output voltage: : -630V DC ± 50V (Use ZENER, DEV Gear)
- Error: a) When SUP is GND print density gets extremely low.
b) If SUP is floating due to poor connection between the frame and cartridge contacts etc. density
gets extremely low such that it is hard to see toner with the eyes
6) OPC Ground ZENER Voltage
- Function: It is this voltage that prevents image contamination under low temperature and low humidity
environment conditions.
- When a set prints without an output voltage, -130V DC ± 15V is maintained on OPC ground. (-103V
ZENER diode is connected to OPC ground)
- Error type:
a) When the ZENER diode is - 0V there is no serious image problem in general environment,
but in low temperature and low humidity environments it is possible that contamination
can occur on the entire image
b) When the ZENER diode is disconnected a blank page is printed out. (It is the same when
a ZENER diode is disconnected from OPC ground.)

2.2.5.3 Fuser AC Power Control
The Fuser (HEAT LAMP) is heated using AC power. The AC power is controlled by a Triac (THY1), a
semiconductor switch. 'On/Off control' is achieved when the gate of the Triac is turned on/off by a Photo
triac (PC1), this is an insulting part.
In the other words the AC control part is a passive circuit. It turns the heat lamp on/off by taking a signal
from the engine control section. When the 'HEATER ON' signal is activated by the engine the LED of PC1
(Photo Triac) flashes. The flashing light causes the Triac (PC1) to switch and a voltage is supplied to the
gate of Triac THY1.
As a result AC current flows in the heat lamp, and heat is produced.
On the other hand, when the signal is off, PC1 is off, the voltage is cut off at the gate of Triac THY1, this
Triac is therefore off, and thus the heat lamp is turned off.
1) Triac (THY1) feature
- 12A,600V SWITCHING
2) Phototriac Coupler (PC3)

2.2.6.1 Feeding
If feeding from the cassette the drive of the pickup roller is controlled by controlling the pick-up solenoid.
The on/off of the solenoid is controlled by controlling the general output port or the external output port. If
feeding from the manual feeder the set decides to feed the paper according to the operation of the manual
sensor, and by driving the main motor, insert the paper in front of the feed sensor. When paper moves the
occurrence of a paper jam is judged as below.
2.2.6.1(a) Jam 0 – Jam in Feed area
• After a page was picked up, paper did not enter the unit due to a paper misfeed.
• After a page was picked up, paper entered but it did not reach the feed sensor in certain time due to slip, etc.
• After a page was picked up, if the feed sensor is not on try to pick up again. After retrying if the feed
sensor is still not on after certain time, it is Jam 0.
- this indicates that the leading edge of the paper doesn't pass the feed sensor within a certain time.
• Even though the paper reaches the feed sensor, the feed sensor does not turn on.
- this indicates that the leading edge of the paper already passed the feed sensor or that the sensor is
fauty.
2.2.6.1(b) Jam 1 – Jam inside the print engine
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the trailing edge of the paper does not pass
the feed sensor within certain time. (During this time the feed sensor cannot be Off)
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper does not reach the exit sensor within certain time. (The exit sensor cannot be On during this time)
- There is already paper between the feed sensor and the exit sensor.
2.2.6.1(c) Jam 2 – Jam in the Exit area
• After the trailing edge of the paper passes the feed sensor the trailing edge of the paper does not pass
the exit sensor within certain time.
2.2.6.2 Drive
The main motor drives the paper feed, developing unit and the Fuser It is driven by software which controls
the acceleration, constant speed and deceleration profiles. The Motor is managed with an A3977 driver IC
and controlled by step and enable signals from the CPU.
2.2.6.3 Transfer
The charging voltage, developing voltage and the transfer voltage are controlled by PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation). Each output voltage is changeable according to the PWM duty cycle. The transfer voltage
used when the paper passes the transfer roller is decided by environment recognition. The resistance value
of the transfer roller changes due to the surrounding environment in the room or within the set, this change
in resistance in turn changes the value of the voltage due to loading. This voltage is fed back into the set
through the A/D converter. Based on this fed back value the PWM cycle is changed to maintain the
required transfer voltage

Service Manual
Product spec and feature
2.2.6.4 Fusing
The temperature of the heat roller's surface is detected according to the resistance value of the thermistor.
The thermistor resistance is measured using the A/D converter and thus the CPU can determine the
temperature of the heat roller. The AC power is controlled by comparing the target temperature to the value
from the thermistor. If the value from the thermistor is out of the controlling range while controlling the fusing
process, the error stated in the table occurs. (For the domestic model, the Q-PID method has been applied.)
Error Type
2.2.6.5 LSU
The LSU consists of the LD (Laser Diode) and the polygon motor control. When the printing signal occurs,
the LD is turned on and the polygon motor is enabled. When the light sensor detects the beam, Hsync occurs.
When the polygon motor speed becomes a normal, LReady occurs. If these two conditions are satisfied, the
status bit of the LSU controller register becomes 1 ant the LSU is judged to be ready. If the two conditions
are not satisfied, the error shown in the table below occurs.
ErrorDescription
Open heat errorWhen warming up, it has been lower than 68 °C over 25 sec
Lower heat error• Standby:
It has been lower than 100°C over 25 sec
• Printing:
- 2 consecutive pages: it has been lower than 145°C over 5 sec
- 3 consecutive page; it has been 40°C lower than the fixed fusing temperature over 4 seconds.
Over heat errorIt have been higher than 220°C over 3 seconds
ErrorDescription
Polygon motor errorWhen the polygon motor’s speed doesn’t become a normal
Hsync errorThe polygon motor’s speed is normal, but the Hsync signal is not created.
2.2.7 OPE PBA
The OPE board consists of various function keys and an LCD to display set status and operator messages.
A MICOM (HOLTEC HT48R50) and drives the LEDs and LCD. Communication between the OPE and the
CPU on the main board is serial (related signals are /Reset, TXD, and RXD).

3.1 General Precautions on Disassembly
When you disassemble and reassemble components, you must use extreme caution. The close
proximity of cables to moving parts makes proper
routing a must.
If components are removed, any cables disturbed
by the procedure must be restored as close as
possible to their original positions. Before removing any component from the machine, note the
cable routing that will be affected.
Whenever servicing the machine, you
must perform as follows:
1. Check to verify that documents are not stored
in memory.
2. Be sure to remove the toner cartridge before
you disassemble parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Use a flat and clean surface.
5. Replace only with authorized components.
6. Do not force plastic-material components.
7. Make sure all components are in their proper
position.
Releasing Plastic Latches
Many of the parts are held in place with plastic
latches. The latches break easily; release them
carefully.
To remove such parts, press the hook end of the
latch away from the part to which it is latched.

• The tray has been pulled out during a print job.
• The front cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper was used that does not meet paper specifications.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range was used.
If a paper jam occurs the On Line/Error LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed
paper. If you don't see the paper, open the covers.
Do not use a tweezers, pincers or other metal tools when removing a jam.
This could damage the internal mechanism causing print quality problems or possibly electrical shock..
