Service Manual
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.

When paper passes the actuator (feed sensor part), it detects the signal of Photo interrupter, informs the paper feeding state to CPU, and then sprays the image data after certain time. If it doesn't detect the feed sensor within 1 sec. after paper is fed, paper Jam0 is occurred (Red and Yellow will be turned on among the OP panel LEDs), and the fact whether the developer is inserted or not is detect­ed with the same principle. After the developer is mounted, the actuator is operated. The signal from the photo interrupter is detected when it is passing the actuator of the sensor part. That is the developer ID sensing.
4) Paper Exit Sensing
It detects paper state whether paper gets out from the set with operation of exit sensor on the engine board and actuator on the frame. Paper detects the on/off time of exit sensor , and the normal operation or jam infor­mation is informed to the CPU. The paper JAM2 is informed. (Red, Yellow LED will be turned on among the OP panel LEDs)
5) Cover Open Sensing
The Cover open sensor is located on the front cover. After the front cover is opened, +24V (DC fan, solenoid, main motor, polygon motor part of LSU, HVPS), which is supplied to the each unit, is cut off. The cover-open sensing is operated by the D0 bit of CPU, and the developer ID sensing is operated. In this case, the red LED among OP panel LEDs will be ON for informing the facts to user.
6) DC FAN / SOLENOID Driving
It is driven by transistor and controlled by D6 bit of CPU. When it is high, the fan is driving by turning on the TR, and it is off when the sleep mode is selected. There are two solenoids, and they are driven by paper pick-up and MP signal. Its driving time is 300ms. The diode protects the driving TR from the noise pulse, which is flown when the solenoid is de-energizing.
7) Motor Driving
The motor driving circuit is formed when the Driver IC is selected in the first place. The A3977 (Motor driver IC) is used in this case. But, the resistance Rs value of sensing and the voltage value of the V reference can be changed by motor driving voltage value.
