2.1 Electrophotographic process mechanism
(1) Electrophotographic process
The following describes the overview of electrophotographic process.
1. Charging
Equally charge the surface of image drum by implying negative voltage to the
charged roller due to negative charge.
2. Exposure
The light from LED Head is exposed on the negative-charged surface of image drum.
The surface electrical potential of the exposed part of image drum surface becomes
lower. Then forms electrostatic latent image.
3. Development
Negative-charged toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image due to
electrostatic while touching the image drum. Then forms viewable image.
4. Transfer
Overlap paper on the surface of OPC drum, from the backside of paper transfer
toner image to the paper by applying electrical charge by transfer roller.
5. Drum cleaning
The remaining toner on the image drum that is not transferred is made to be
equable by cleaning roller. And is temporarily attracted to the cleaning roller due to
electrostatic.
6. Fusing
The toner image that is transferred to paper is fused on paper by heat and pressure.

1. Charging

drum surface.
Fig 2.1.1
2. Exposure
The light emitting from the LED Head will be exposed to the negative charged image drum. When
the surface electric potential of exposed part of the image drum goes to decrease, the electrostatic
latent image complying with image signal is formed.
Image drum is coated by basic layer (UL), charge generating layer (CGL), charge transferring layer
(CTL) on the basic material aluminum. The thickness of the organic light sensor (OPC) that is
consisted by CTL and CGL is approximate 20µm.

3. Image development
Toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image on the image drum surface, then the electrostatic
latent image changes to toner image.

the roller on the supply spot of toner rotates while scrubbing the image-developing
roller, fiction electricity occurs between the image developing roller and toner; toner is
attracted to the image-developing roller.

drum when the image drum contact the image developing roller, so as to see the
electrostatic latent image.

4. Transfer
The transfer roller, which is from conductive sponge material, is created to meet intimate
attachment of image drum roller surface and feeding paper. The feeding paper is set up on the
surface of image drum. Plus charge, which is the converse polarity with toner polarity, is applied
from the backside of the paper.
As high plus voltage is applied to transfer roller from the power supply, the plus charge on the
transfer roller surface is induced and transferred to the paper while the paper contact the transfer
roller. The negative charged toner, which has been attracted to the image drum surface, is
transferred to the surface of feeding paper by the plus charge of the backside of the paper.

6. Fusing
After the termination of transfer the unsettled toner image is settled to paper by heat and pressure
while passing between Heat roller and Back up roller. Heat roller is Teflon coated and is mounted
by heater that can generate heat (Halogen lamp).
The thermistor that contacts the Heat roller adjusts the Heat roller temperature to the temperature
specified by the menu complying with the paper width. For safety the thermostat shuts off the
voltage supply to the Heater by opening the thermostat in the case of abnormally temperature
increasing.
The back up roller is held by the pressure springs on each terminal due to the pressure applied.
The paper fed from Tray 1 and Tray 2 is conveyed by feeding roller, conveying roller, and resist
roller. When feeding paper is from MPT, it is conveyed by MPT, feeding roller, and resist roller.
After that the feeding paper that is conveyed by image drum and the nip part of transfer roller
forms toner image on the paper through electrophotographic process. And then, the toner on the
paper is fused by the heat and pressure as the fuser unit passing through. The paper that fused
the toner image is ejected from the face down stacker of the ejecting roller. In the case of face
up ejecting, it needs to open the backside cover and install face up stacker. (It is unavailable for
duplex printing while it is face up ejecting.)
The above is about the operations at simplex printing, yet the below explains the operations at
duplex printing. While duplex printing, the paper, which firstly passed through the fuser unit after
the backside printing, is conveyed to the inward of Duplex Unit, by the reverse operation of the
second ejecting roller that is a certain time after removing the first ejecting roller of the paper rear
side. Paper, is conveyed by conveying roller of Duplex Unit, and then merges to the same route
with the feeding paper that is from the tray. Onwards, it is the same with the simplex printing
operation by the feeding paper from tray.

2.3 Toner entrance detection
• Equipment
Toner entrance detecting equipment consists the agitating gear that agitating the agitating bar at
a certain speed and magnet that is on the agitating bar.
Fig 2.3.1
•
Operation
Detecting the toner low by monitoring the congruous time intervals between the magnet that is
set on the sensor plate and the magnet attached on the agitating bar,
Operation in toner full status
•
The crack part of agitating gear meshing with
the projection portion of agitating bar, the
agitating bar rotates in accordance with the
rotating of gear.
•
Even after the magnet part of the agitating
Bar reaches the highest position, it still
rotates at the same speed by the pressure of
the agitating gear due to the toner resistance.
Fig 2.3.2
Operation in toner low status
•
When the magnet part of the agitating bar
reaches the highest position, because
there is no resistance from toner, the
agitating bar drops earlier than the gear
by the gravity itself, and stops by that
status.
For this reason, the time that the magnet
of agitating Bar magnetic attracts the
magnet of sensor plate becomes longer.
The toner low status can be inspected by
Fig 2.3.3
monitoring this time.
