(11)Do not position the printer in direct sunlight. This will cause the temperature inside the printer to rise possibly leading to the printer failing to work properly and in extreme conditions could lead to a fire.

(12)Do not insert any metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other part of the casing, it could make contact with a high voltage conductor inside the machine and cause an electric shock.

Service Manual	1-2	Samsung Electronics

Precautions

1.2.3 Handling Precautions

The following instructions are for your own personal safety, to avoid injury and so as not to damage the printer

(1)Ensure the printer is installed on a level surface, capable of supporting its weight. Failure to do so could cause the printer to tip or fall.

(2)The printer contains many rollers, gears and fans. Take great care to ensure that you do not catch your fingers, hair or clothing in any of these rotating devices.

(3)Do not place any small metal objects, containers of water, chemicals or other liquids close to the printer which if spilled could get into the machine and cause damage or a shock or fire hazard.

(4)Do not install the machine in areas with high dust or moisture levels, beside on open window or close to a humidifier or heater. Damage could be caused to the printer in such areas.

(5)Do not place candles, burning cigarettes, etc on the printer, These could cause a fire.

1.2.4 Assembly / Disassembly Precautions

Replace parts carefully, always use Samsung parts. Take care to note the exact location of parts and also cable routing before dismantling any part of the machine. Ensure all parts and cables are replaced correctly. Please carry out the following procedures before dismantling the printer or replacing any parts.

(1)Check the contents of the machine memory and make a note of any user settings. These will be erased if the mainboard or network card is replaced.

(2)Ensure that power is disconnected before servicing or replacing any electrical parts.

(3)Disconnect printer interface cables and power cables.

(4)Only use approved spare parts. Ensure that part number, product name, any voltage, current or temperature rating are correct.

(5)When removing or re-fitting any parts do not use excessive force, especially when fitting screws into plastic.

(6)Take care not to drop any small parts into the machine.

(7)Handling of the OPC Drum

-The OPC Drum can be irreparably damaged if it exposed to light.

Take care not to expose the OPC Drum either to direct sunlight or to fluorescent or incandescent room lighting. Exposure for as little as 5 mins can damage the surface? photoconductive properties and will result in print quality degradation. Take extra care when servicing the printer. Remove the OPC Drum and store it in a black bag or other lightproof container. Take care when working with the covers(especially the top cover) open as light is admitted to the OPC area and can damage the OPC

Service Manual	1-4	Samsung Electronics

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.

Cassette

•Feeding Method : Cassette Type

•Feeding Standard : Center Loading

•Feeding Capacity : Cassette 150 Sheets(75g/ , 20lb Pa per Standard)

•No Manual Feeder

•Paper Detecting Sensor : Photo Sensor (Empty, Registration, Exit)

•Paper Size Sensor : None

LSU(Laser Scan Unit)

The LSU unit is controlled by video controller. It scans the video data received from video controller with laser beam by using the rotation principle of the polygon mirror to create the latent image on the OPC drum. It is the core part of LBP.

The OPC drum rotates as the same speed as the paper feeding speed. It creates the /HSYNC signal and sends it to the engine when the laser beam of the LSU reaches the end of the polygon mirror, and the engine detects the /HSYNC signal to arrange the vertical line of the image on the paper. After detecting the /HSYNC signal, the image data is sent to the LSU to arrange the its margin on the paper.

•Consisted of LD(Laser Diode) and Polygon Motor Control.

Error		Phenomenon
Polygon Motor Error		The Rotation of Polygon Motor can not reach stable
Hsync Error		Though the rotation of Polygon Motor reach stable, the signal of Hsync is
		not occurred

Fuser Ass’y

This unit consists of Heat Roller, a Thermostat and a Thermistor. It melts and fuses the toner, transferred by the transfer roller onto the paper, by applying pressure and high temperature to complete printing job.

* Heat Lamp : Kunckle Type

*Fusing system : 3-Roll Fusing type

-Heat roller : Pipe type (Lamp inside)

-Pressure roller

-Pressure roller Shaft

*Thermistor - Temperature-Measuring Device

*Thermostat - Critical Temperature-Detecting Device

*The life span – 100k(black)/color(25k)

Thermostat

When a heat lamp is overheated, a Thermostat cuts off the main power to prevent over-heating. - Non-Cotact type Thermostat

Heat roller

The heat roller transfers the heat from the lamp to apply a heat on the paper. The surface of a heat roller is coated with Teflon, so toner does not stick to the surface.

Pressure roller

A pressure roller mounted under a heat roller is made of a silicon resin, and the surface also is coated with Teflon. When a paper passes between a heat roller and a pressure roller, toner adheres to the surface of a paper permanently.
