CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040 of the CDRH standard and
IEC825. This means that this machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of controls,
adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved
on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot damage to the retina.
The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of
servicing.
1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a
unit, not as individual parts.
2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner
cartridge, and drum cartridge.
3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected
when removing and installing the optical system.
4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.

2. Outline of print process
This printer is a non-impact printer that uses a semiconductor
laser and electrostatic print process. This printer uses an OPC
(Organic Photo Conductor) for its photoconductive material.
First, voltage from the main corona unit charges the drum surface
and a latent image is formed on the drum surface using a laser
beam. This latent image forms a visible image on the drum surface
when toner is applied. The toner image is then transferred onto the
print paper by the transfer corona and fused on the print paper in
the fusing section with a combination of heat and pressure.
Step-1: Charge
Step-2: Exposure
∗ Latent image is formed on the drum.
Step-3: Developing
Latent image formed on the drum is then changed into
visible image with toner.
Step-4: Transfer
The visible image (toner image) on the drum is transferred
onto the print paper.
Step-5: Cleaning
Residual toner on the drum surface is removed and collected by the cleaning blade.
Step-6: Optical discharge
Residual charge on the drum surface is removed, by
semiconductor laser beam.
3. Actual print process
Step-1: DC charge
A uniform negative charge is applied over the OPC drum surface
by the main charging unit. Stable potential is maintained by means
of the Scorotron charger.
Positive charges are generated in the aluminum layer.
Step-2: Exposure (laser beam, lens)
A Laser beam is generated from the semiconductor laser and controlled by the print pattern signal. The laser writes onto the OPC
drum surface through the polygon mirrors and lens. The resistance of the OPC layer decreases for an area exposed by the laser
beam (corresponding to the print pattern signal). The beam neutralizes the negative charge. An electrostatic latent image is
formed on the drum surface.

Step-3: Developing (DC bias)
A bias potential is applied to the MG roller in the two component
magnetic brush developing method, and the toner is charged negative through friction with the carrier.
Non-image area of the drum surface charged with negative potential repel the toner, whereas the laser exposed portions where no
negative charges exist, attract the toner. As a result, a visible
image appears on the drum surface.

Step-5: Separation
Since the print paper is charged positively by the transfer corona, it
is discharged by the separation corona. The separation corona is
connected to ground.
Step-6: Cleaning
Toner remaining on the drum is removed and collected by the
cleaning blade. It is transported to the waste toner collecting section in the cleaning unit by the waste toner transport roller.

Page 36
Step-7: Optical discharge (Semiconductor laser)
Before the drum rotation is stopped, the semiconductor laser is
radiated onto the drum to reduce the electrical resistance in the
OPC layer and eliminate residual charge, providing a uniform state
to the drum surface for the next page to be printed.
When the electrical resistance is reduced, positive charges on the
aluminum layer are moved and neutralized with negative charges
on the OPC layer.
Semiconductor laser
Charge by the Scorotron charger
Function
The Scorotron charger functions to maintain uniform surface
potential on the drum at all times, It control the surface potential
regardless of the charge characteristics of the photoconductor.
Basic function
A screen grid is placed between the saw tooth and the photoconductor. A stable voltage is added to the screen grid to maintain the
corona current on the photoconductor.
As the photoconductor is charged by the saw tooth from the main
corona unit, the surface potential increases. This increases the
current flowing through the screen grid. When the photoconductor
potential nears the grid potential, the current turns to flow to the
grid so that the photoconductor potential can be maintained at a
stable level.
Start
1) Because the grid potential is at a low level, the drum potential
is at about -400V. (Carrier may not be attracted though the carrier is pulled towards the drum by the electrostatic force of 400V.
2) Developing bias (-400V) is applied when the photoconductor
potential is switched from LOW to HIGH.
3) Once developing bias (-400V) is applied and the photo conductor potential rises to HIGH, toner will not be attracted to the
drum.
Stop
The reverse sequence takes place.
Retaining developing bias at an abnormal occurrence
Function
The developing bias will be lost if the power supply was removed
during print process. In this event, the drum potential slightly
abates and the carrier makes deposits on the drum because of
strong static power. To prevent this, the machine incorporates a
function to retain the developing bias for a certain period and
decrease the voltage gradually against possible power loss.
Basic function
Normally, the developing bias voltage is retained for a certain time
before the drum comes to a complete stop if the machine should
stop before completing the normal print cycle. The developing bias
can be added before resuming the operation after an abnormal
interruption. Therefore, carrier will not make a deposit on the drum
surface.
Process controlling
Function
The print pattern signal is converted into an invisible image by the
semiconductor laser using negative to positive (reversible) developing method. Therefore, if the developing bias is added before
the drum is charged, toner is attracted onto the drum. If the developing bias is not added when the drum is charged, the carrier is
attracted to the drum because of the strong electrostatic force of
the drum.
To avoid this, the process is controlled by adjusting the drum
potential and the grid potential of the Scorotron charger.
Basic function
Voltage added to the screen grid can be selected, high and low. To
make it easily understood, the figure below shows voltage transition at the developer unit.

(1) Cassette paper feed operation
1) The figure below shows the positions of the pick-up roller, the
paper feed clutch sleeve, and the paper feed latch in the initial
state without pressing the COPY button after lighting the ready
lamp.
The paper feed latch is in contact with the projection of the
clutch sleeve.
2) When the COPY button is pressed, the main drive motor starts
rotating to drive each drive gear.
The pick-up drive gear also is driven at that time. Since, however, the paper feed latch is in contact with the projection of
the clutch sleeve, rotation of the drive gear is not transmitted to
the pick-up roller, which does not rotate therefore.
5) At this time, the paper is fed passed the paper entry detection
switch (PPD1), and detected by it. After about 0.15 sec from
detection of paper by PPD1, the tray paper feed solenoid
(PFS) turns on so that the clutch sleeve projection comes into
contact with the paper feed latch to stop the pick-up roller.
Then the pick-up roller rotates for about 0.15 sec so that the
lead edge of the paper is evenly pressed on the resist roller,
preventing against skew feeding.

This disengages the paper feed latch from the projection of the
clutch sleeve, transmitting rotation of the pick-up drive gear to
the paper feed roller shaft, rotating the pick-up roller to feed
the paper.
6) To release the resist roller, the tray paper feed solenoid and
the resist solenoid are turned on by the paper start signal to
disengage the resist start latch from the clutch sleeve, transmitting rotation of the resist drive gear to the resist roller shaft.
Thus the paper is transported by the resist roller.
7) After the resist roller starts rotating, the paper is passed
through the pre-transfer guide to the transfer section. Images
are transferred on the paper, which is separated from the OPC
drum by the drum curve and the separation section.

[9] ADJUSTMENTS
1. Optical section
A. Copy magnification ratio adjustment
The copy magnification ratio must be adjusted in the main scanning direction and in the sub scanning direction. To adjust, use
SIM 48-1.
(1) Outline
The main scanning (front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment is made automatically or manually.
Automatic adjustment: The width of the reference line marked on
the shading correction plate is scanned to perform the main scanning (front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment automatically.
Manual adjustment: The adjustment is made by [Copy quantity]
keys (or [Numeric] keys for the AR-M200/M201) operations. (In
either of the automatic and manual adjustments, the zoom data register set value is changed for adjustment.)
The magnification ratio in the sub scanning direction is adjusted by
changing the carriage (scanner) scanning speed.

(1) Lead edge adjustment
1) Set a scale to the center of the paper lead edge guide as shown
below, and cover it with B4 or 8 1/2" x 14" paper.
4) Measure the image loss amount (R mm) of the scale image.
Set C = 10 X R (mm). (Example: Set the value of C to 30.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is
decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
5) Measure the distance (H mm) between the paper lead edge
and the image print start position.
Set A = 10 X H (mm). (Example: Set the value of A to 50.)
When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is
shifted to the paper lead edge by 1mm. (Default: 50)
6) Set the lead edge void amount to B = 50 (2.5mm).
When the value of B is increased by 10, the void amount is
increased by about 1mm. For 25 or less, however, the void
amount becomes zero. (Default: 50)

4. Duplex adjustment
A. Adjusting the paper reverse position in
memory for duplex copying (AR-M200/M201)
This step adjusts the front surface printing (odd-number pages of a
document set) in the S-D mode copying and the leading edge position of an image on even-number pages in the D-S mode.
That is, it covers the adjustment of the second surface printing
mode (image loss at the front edge of an image) in which image
data is once stored in memory.
The image data is read, starting from its front end in the document
delivery direction (Reference direction of document setting in the
OC mode)and stored in memory.
This stored image data is printed starting at the printing start position, in the order of last-stored data to the first-stored data.
In other words, the front edge image loss of the image can be
adjusted by changing the document read end position.
(Adjustment procedure)
1) Preparing test chart (Draw a scale at the rear end of one side of
a sheet of A4 white paper or letter paper)

B. Adjusting trailing edge void in duplex copy
mode (AR-M201)
This is the adjustment of the first surface printing mode (rear end
void) in duplex copying.
In a duplex copying operation, the paper is delivered starting from
the rear end of the first printing surface. It is therefore necessary to
make a void area at the rear end on the first printing surface to prevent paper jam at the fusing part.
There are two adjustment modes:
1) Paper trailing edge void quantity 50-19 (TEXT)
This adjustment is made when the cassette paper size is rec-
ognized. The trailing edge void quantity can be adjusted by
changing the trailing edge image laser OFF timing.

5. Automatic black level correction
a. Cases when the adjustment is required
1) When the main PWB is replaced.
2) When the EEPROM in the main PWB is replaced.
3) When "U2" trouble occurs.
4) When repairing or replacing the optical section.
b. Adjustment procedure
Used to acquire the black level target value used for the black level
adjustment of white balance.
When SIM 63-02 is executed, the current correction value is displayed in 3 digits of 12bit hexadecimal number.
Place the gray gradation chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) used as the
correction document so that the density 10 (black side) comes on
the left side and that the chart is upside down at the center of the
plate left center.
3) Using the user simulation [18], set the paper size of the first
cassette.
• Letter paper: 4
• A4 paper: 3
4) Execute SIM 50-19 to turn on the PRINT mode lamp and make

Contents Details of function/operation
50 01 Lead edge image position [Function]
Used to adjust the copy image position and the lead edge void amount on copy paper. The
adjustment is made by adjusting the image scan start position at 100% and the print start position (resist roller ON timing). When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed
in 2 digits. (Center value: 50)
When [Exposure mode selector] key (or [ ] [ ] key for the AR-M200/M201) is pressed, the
setting mode and the display are changed.
Enter the adjustment value and press [START] key to save the set value and make a copy.
When the adjustment is made by the main cassette paper feed, the adjustment values of all the
paper feed ports become the same. (When the set value is increased by 1, shift is made by
0.1mm.)

* When paper is discharged, the shifter is operated.
[Adjustment procedure]
1) Set the print start position (AE lamp ON) (A), the lead edge void amount (TEXT lamp ON)
(B), and the scan start position (PHOTO lamp ON) (C) to 0, and make a copy of a scale at
100%. (AR-203E/5420)
For the AR-M200/M201, the following LED’s are lighted:
• AE lamp/COPY mode lamp: (A)
• TEXT lamp/PRINT mode lamp: (B)
• PHOTO lamp/SCAN mode lamp: (C)
2) Measure the image loss (Rmm) of the scale.
Set C = 10 x R (mm). (Example: Set to 40.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
3) Measure the distance (Hmm) from the paper lead edge to the image print start position.
Set A = 10 x H (mm). (Example: Set to 50.)
When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is moved to the paper lead
edge by 1mm. (Default: 50).
4) Set the lead edge void amount to
B = 50 (2.5mm). (Default: 50)
When the value of B is increased by
10, the void is extended by about
0.1mm. (For 25 or less, however,
the void amount is regarded as 0.)
∗ The SPF/RSPF adjustment is made
by adjusting the SPF/RSPF image
scan start position after OC
adjustment.
[Operation]
The operation is similar to simulation
46-01.
