2.3 Electrophotographic Process Mechanism
(1) Electrophotographic Process
The following is the outline of the electrophotographic process.
1 Charging
Applying DC voltage to the CH roller charges the surface of the OPC drum evenly in negative.
2 Exposure
Light from the LED head is directed onto the surface of the negatively charged OPC drum. The
emitted parts of the drum surface attenuates in the surface potential and electrostatic latent images
are generated according to image signals.
3 Development and Recovery of Residual Toner
Negatively charged toner contacts the OPC drum. With static, the toner is fixed on the electrostatic
latent images on the drum and changed into its visible images.
At the same time, residual toner on the drum is drawn to the developing roller with static.
2. Operation Description
4 Transfer
The toner is drawn on paper with static by laying the paper on the OPC drum surface and applying
a positive charge opposite to the toner polarity to the back of the paper by the transfer roller.
5 Cleaning
The cleaning roller draws the residual toner on the OPC drum with static after the transfer and then
returns it to the drum.
6 Fusing
Applying heat and pressure fuses post-transfer unfixed toner images on the paper.
40801701TH Rev.217 /
Page 18
2. Operation Description
(2) Paper Feeding Motor
48-step/rotation pulse motor. Two-phase excited driving is made based on signals from the control
board.
The hopping roller for the first tray and the front feed roller are driven via two one-way clutches
according to each motor rotating direction.
(3) Resister Roller
48-step/rotation pulse motor. Two-phase excited driving based on signals from the control board
drives the resister roller.
(4) Drum Motor
96-step/rotation pulse motor. Two-phase excited driving based on signals from the cotrol board
changes into motive power of the mechanism.
(5) LED Head
The shift/latch resister receives images by dot line from the control board and 76,800 (600dpi Head),
15,360 (1200dpi Head) of LEDs are driven to emit onto the image drum.
(6) Fuser
A heater, a heat roller, a thermistor, and a thermostat constitute the fuser.
The power/sensor board supplies AC voltage to the heater based on signals (HRATON) from the
control board to heat the heat roller, while the control board supervises the heat roller temperature via
the thermistor and sets on/off the heater AC voltage supply to keep the even temperature.
An extraordinary rise in temperature of the heat roller causes the thermostat in the heater voltage
supply circuit on and cuts off the AC voltage supply by force.

2. Operation Description
(3) Paper Feeding from Front Feeder
1 When the printer is turned on, the front feeder takes up a position to lower the FF plate.
(its home position).
2 Figure A shows that the one-way clutch gear B revolves via the idle gear to turn the FF roller and FF
cam when the paper feed motor rotates in the “b” direction (CCW direction).
3 Turning the FF cam releases the FF plate from the FF plate pressing release lever, then the FF
plate is raised by the spring. Paper on the FF plate is pressed against the FF roller. The FF roller
feeds out the paper pressed. It continues until the inlet sensor is on, and a certain further quantity
is moved forward to run the paper against the resister roller. (This corrects a skew of paper.)
4 While the FF roller feeds the paper, the FF cam turns and presses down the FF plate. When the FF
plate lowers in its full, the release lever lies on the FF plate to keep the plate uchanged even if the
plate is disconnected from the FF cam.
5 Feeding the paper by the resister roller turns the FF roller by rubbing against the paper. This
turning power drives the shaft and it continues until the FF cam touches the release lever to obtain
a standby state for the next hopping.
The one-way bearing is built into the FF roller boss. After the cam touches the release lever, the
one-way bearing runs idle so as not to turn the shaft.

2 The toner on the developing roller is shaven by the developing blade to make a thin layer of the
toner on the surface of the developing roller.
3 Fixing the toner to the exposed parts of the OPC drum makes electrostatic latent images visible in
the contact parts between the OPC drum and the developing roller.
(4) Transfer
The transfer roller is made of a conductive sponge material and arranged so that paper and the OPC
drum surface are well close together.
A positive charge opposite to the toner polarity (negative) is applied to the back of paper by the
transfer roller, laying the paper on the OPC drum surface.
Applying high voltage from the power supply (positive) to the transfer roller moves a positive charge
induced on the roller surface to the paper side in the contact parts of the transfer roller.
A positive charge on the back of the paper moves the negative toner on the OPC drum surface to the
upside of the paper. Transfering to the paper is performed by this.

2. Operation Description
(5) Fusing
When passing between the heat roller and back-up roller, post-transfer unfixed toner images fuse on
the paper with heat and pressure.
A 800W of heater (halogen lamp) is inserted into the internal part of the teflon-coated heat roller to
heat the heat roller. Also a thermistor moves over the surface of the heat roller and controls the
temperature to keep it constant. In addition, thermostat, which is open for the duration of a temperature
rise to break voltage supply to the heater, is attached for safety.
The pressure springs on both sides press the back-up roller.
