Chapter 1 Product Specifications
1.1OVERVIEW
1.1.01 General Information
The OL400 is a desktop, page printer, using a stationary LED head and dry electrophotography as
its exposure and development method. The printer has a resolution of 300 x 300 dots per inch and
a continuous print speed of 4 letter-sized sheets per minute.
A 512K page memory is standard on the OL400; this can be expanded to 1.5 or 2.5 megabyte
with an optional RAM printed circuit board and a memory expansion chip set. Twenty-five resident
fonts are included in the OL400 and five optional font cards are currently available. Downloadable
fonts can also be used with this printer.
The printer can be purchased with either a Centronics parallel interface or an RS-232C serial
interface.
The OL400's consumables consist of the toner kit, which include a toner cartridge, lens cleaner,
and a fuser cleaner pad and the image drum kit which includes the drum cartridge and ozone
filter.

Chapter 2 Principles of Operation
2.2.02 Centronics Parallel Interface
The following operations are carried out during SELECT mode once the STB-N signal is received
from the host interface.
The BUSY-P signal is sent to the host interface.
Simultaneously with fetching data to the Q4 IC at the last transition of the STB signal, the
RXIPT-P signal is sent to the CPU to inform it of receipt of data.
The CPU reads data received from the Q4 IC by the RD-N signal, and turns off the BUSY signal
to the host interface.
Upon turning off the BUSY signal, the ACK-N signal is sent to the host interface to acknowledge
reception processing.

Chapter 2 Principles of Operation
2.2.03 RS-232C Serial Interface
The 8251 Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter is used as a controller.
This serial I/F converts serial data received from the host I/F into parallel data for use by the CPU.
It also converts parallel data from the CPU into serial data to be sent to the Host I/F.
READY/BUSY or X-ON/X-OFF are used as the communication protocol between the Host I/F and
OL400. These can be selected through the Menu.
The baud rate, character length, parity check, stop bit, etc., are automatically written into the
82C51 from the menu, so hardware switches are not required.

2.3.02 Operation Panel
The following components make up the operation panel.
4-bit MPU (LC6543C)
LCD control driver (MSM6222B or HD44780)
LCD display (16 characters per line)
Operation panel sheet
LEDs (for online mode indication)
Operation buttons
The LCD control driver (MSM622B or HD44780) converts 4-bit character codes received from the
MPU into 8-bit character codes and retrieves the character pattern data (font) associated with the
8-bit character codes from the internal character generator for display on the LCD.
Operation Panel Interface
The operation panel is controlled by the operation panel interface located on the Main Control
Board via the Engine Board.

2.3.03 Engine Board
The Engine Board is composed of the items listed below.
MPU80C51, or MPU83C154 (8-bit CPU)
LLAB Revision 11
The MPU 83C154 contains the printer control program in its internal ROM.
Therefore, the external ROM (Q1) is not required on Revision 11.
MSM73H019GS (80 pin LSI)
EPROM (Printer Control Program)
EPROM
This 1-Kbit electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM) is loaded with the following data:
Total number of sheets printed after installation
Total number of sheets printed with the current drum
Total number of sheets printed with the current fuser
Setting of time required from the completion of printing to Stand-by
Feed length needed to feed the paper to a printable position.
Print starting line on paper (Top margin)
LED head drive time.
Page: 20
NOTE
:
The EEPROM preserves the above data while the supply voltage is off.
The count of the total number of sheets printed after installation cannot be reset.
The count of the total number of sheets printed with the drum currently in use should be
taken as a rough measure of the useful life of the drum.
It is reset to zero when the drum is replaced by holding down the RESET button and
applying power to the printer.

High Voltage Drive
The high voltage circuit provides a charge voltage (about -6Kvdc), a transfer voltage (about +5
Kvdc), a grid voltage (about -600 vdc), and a developer bias voltages (about -550vdc and
-400vdc). Of these voltages, the first two are generated from a high voltage power supply. The
grid connects to the ground via a varistor on the medium-voltage generation circuit (LLAB-PCB). It
is kept at about -680 vdc during charging.

2.3.05 Fuser Unit
The fuser unit heater is controlled by a thermistor, a comparator, an LSI, and a CPU to keep the
heat roller surface temperature within a predetermined range (about 150 degrees). A thermostat
within the fuser unit prevents abnormal temperature rises in the fuser unit if the thermistor fails.
NOTE:
The CPU checks for a blown or shorted wire in the thermistor at power-on , setting a fuser alarm if
an error is detected.
The CPU also sets a fuser alarm if the proper temperature is not attained within a specified period
of time after power-on.
Upon detecting a fuser alarm, the CPU will halt (after printing the current page).

2.3.07 LED Head
Data on the 2,560 LEDs in the LED head is set in the shift register by the HD CLK signal. The
data is loaded in the latch circuit by the HD LD signal.
The on/off states of the LEDs are controlled by the signals STB1- STB4; 640 bits are turned on or
off at a time.

signals.

Chapter 2 Principles of Operation
2.3.09 DC Fan
The fan is controlled by the FAN ON-P signal from the LSI (MSM73H019). In order for the fan to
operate, the signal FAN SENSE-N must be active.
NOTE:
The fuser and the fan are not driven when the cover is open (reset).
If the fan fails to run, the fuser will turn off and an alarm is set. This prevents the next printout. If
the signal Fan Sense-N becomes inactive while printing, both the heater and the fan come to a
halt after the end of printout of the current page.
A fan alarm is generated when the fan is not sensed at power-on time.
The fan is driven for 1 minute after the fuser has been turned off. The fan speed is reduced if the
next PRINT signal is not received within 1 minute.
