CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 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.

*: Only Win 98 can be used for USB users.
Operations when both of USB/parallel ports are connected at the same time.
The USB port has a priority over the parallel port.
Smartsharing is invalid.
When USB is connected after 30sec of no communication through the
parallel port, the mode is shifted to the USB mode instantaneously.
If no communication state does not reach 30sec yet, shifting to the USB
mode is retained until 30sec passes. During that time, print jobs are
performed through the parallel port.
After completion of unfinished print jobs, if there is no communication for
30sec, shifting to the USB mode is made.
Within 30sec, print jobs are performed through the parallel port.

4. Memory Device
A. Function
The memory device is used to monitor the life of the developer cartridge in the way that the machine reads and writes information (e.g.page count)
to the memory device equipped in the developer cartridge.
When the life is reached, the memory device becomes nonfunctional to prevent the deterioration of image/text quality and machine damages.
Therefore, unnecessary service costs would be saved.

Image scanning
2) When the COPY button is pressed, the scanner section starts scanning of images.
The light from the copy lamp is reflected by the document and passed through the lens to the CCD.
Photo signal/Electric signal conversion
3) The image is converted into electrical signals by the CCD circuit and passed to the MCU.
Image process
4) The document image signal sent from the CCD circuit is processed under the revised conditions and sent to the LSU (laser unit) as print data.
Electric signal/Photo signal (laser beam) conversion
5) The LSU emits laser beams according to the print data.
(Electrical signals are converted into photo signals.)
6) The laser beams are radiated through the polygon mirror and various lenses to the OPC drum.
Printing
7) Electrostatic latent images are formed on the OPC drum according to the laser beams, and the latent images are developed to be visible images (toner images).
8) Meanwhile the paper is fed to the image transfer section in synchronization with the image lead edge.
9) After the transfer of toner images onto the paper, the toner images are fused to the paper by the fusing section. The copied paper is discharged
onto the exit tray.

2. Scanner section
A. How to scan documents
The scanner has sensors that are arranged in a line. These sensors scan a
certain area of a document at a time and deliver outputs sequentially. When
the line is finished, the next line is scanned, and this procedure is repeated.
The figure below shows the case where the latter two sections of an image
which are scanned are shown with solid lines and the former two sections
which are being transmitted are shown with dotted lines.
The direction of this line is called “main scanning direction,” and the scanning
direction “sub scanning direction.”
In the figure above, one line is divided into 4 sections. Actually, however, one
line is divided into thousands of sections. For scanning, the light receiving element called CCD is used.
The basic resolution indicates the scanner capacity. The basic resolution is expressed in dpi (dot/inch) which shows the number of light emitting elements per
inch on the document.
The basic resolution of this machine is 400dpi.
In the sub scanning direction, at the same time, the motor that drives the optical system is controlled to scan the image at the basic resolution.
10Mirror motor11MHPS (Mirror home position sensor)
The scanner unit performs scanning in the digital optical system.
The light from the light source (Xenon lamp) is reflected by a document and passed through three mirrors and reduction lenses to the CCD element
(image sensor) where images are formed. This system is known as the reduction image sensor system. Photo energy on the CCD element is converted into electrical signals (analog signals). (Photo-electric conversion). The output signals (analog signals) are converted into digital signals (A/D
conversion) and passed to the MCU (main control/image process section). The resolution at that time is 400dpi.
The mirror unit in the scanner section is driven by the mirror motor.
The MHPS is provided to detect the home position of the copy lamp unit.

3. Laser unit
The image data sent from the MCU (image process circuit) is sent to
the LSU (laser unit), where it is converted into laser beams.
A. Basic structure
The LSU unit is the writing section of the digital optical system.
The semiconductor laser is used as the light source, and images are
formed on the OPC drum by the polygon mirror and fθ lens, etc.
The laser beams are passed through the collimator lens, the cylindrical
lens, the polygon mirror, the fθ lens, and the mirror to form images on
the OPC drum in the main scanning direction. The laser emitting PWB
is provided with the APC (auto power control) in order to eliminate fluctuations in the laser power. The BF PWB works for measurement of the
laser writing start point.

(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.

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 projection, 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.

document transport (DM-1505 only)
A. Initial state
Set duplex documents on the document tray.
Set paper on the cassette. (In the duplex mode, the manual feed tray
cannot be selected.)
B. Front copy
Document transport: The document feed roller feeds the document
from the paper feed roller to the PS roller.
→ The document is exposed in the exposure
section, and sent to the document exit section
by the transport/paper exit roller.
→ R-SPF gate solenoid ON
→ The document is sent to the intermediate tray
(but not discharged completely.)
→ The document is stopped once, then
switchback operation is performed. (To the
back copy)
Paper transport:The document is passed through the paper feed
roller and the PS roller by the paper feed roller
and the images on the front surface are transferred.
→ The paper is passed through the fusing sec-
tion and the lower side of the gate section to
the paper exit tray side, (but not discharged
completely.)
→ It is stopped once and switchback operation
is performed. (To the back copy)
2) When the detection gear 38T turns one rotation, there is no gear
any more and it stops.
The latch section of the 38T gear is latched and fixed with the
projection of the process cover.

[8] ADJUSTMENTS
1. Optical section
A. Image distortion adjustment
There are following two types of image distortion.
●
Horizontal image distortion
●
Vertical image distortion
In this machine, the image distortion is adjusted by changing the parallelism of mirrors (copy lamp unit, No. 2/3 mirror unit).
(1) Horizontal image distortion adjustment
a. Summary
Parallelism of mirrors can be made by installing the copy lamp unit
and No. 2/3 mirror unit to the reference position. However, it must
be checked by making a copy, and must be adjusted if necessary.
b. Cases when the adjustment is required
1) When the copy lamp unit and No.2/3 mirror unit are disassembled or their part is replaced.
2) When the copy lamp unit and No.2/3 mirror unit drive section is
disassembled or its part is replaced.
3) When the copy image is distorted as shown below:

4) Manually turn the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit drive gear to
bring No.2/3 mirror unit into contact with No.2/3 mirror unit
positioning plate. When No.2/3 mirror unit makes contact with
No.2/3 mirror unit positioning plate in the rear frame side simultaneously, the mechanical parallelism of No.2/3 mirror unit is
proper.
If one side of No.2/3 mirror unit makes contact with No.2/3 mirror unit positioning plate and the other side does not, the parallelism is improper.
If the parallelism is improper, perform the procedure of step 5).

5) Loosen the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit drive pulley
setscrew in the side where No.2/3 mirror unit does not make
contact with No.2/3 mirror unit positioning plate.
7) Manually turn the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit drive gear to
bring No.2/3 mirror unit into contact with the positioning plate,
and perform the procedure of step 4).
Repeat procedures of steps 4) to 7) until the parallelism of
No.2/3 mirror unit is properly set.
8) With No.2/3 mirror unit positioning plate in contact with No.2/3
mirror unit, bring the copy lamp unit into contact with the right
frame and fix the copy lamp unit to the drive wire.
Procedures 1) to 8) are for adjustment of mechanical horizontal
parallelism. The copy lamp unit and No.2/3 mirror are fixed to
the specified positions and the mechanical horizontal parallelism
of No.2/3 mirror is adjusted.
Then the optical horizontal parallelism must be adjusted in the
following procedures.

e. Adjustment procedure
1) Set the test chart for image distortion adjustment on the docu-
ment glass, and make a normal copy on a paper of A4 or 8 1/2″× 11″.
2) Check image distortion in the right and the left sides.
If the both vertical lines are in parallel with each other, the rightleft distortion balance is proper. (However, there may be some
distortion.)
2) If all the four angles are right angles, there in no distortion and
the following procedures are not required.
Greater distortion
Smaller distortion
13) Tighten the set screw of the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit
drive pulley.
14) Check the image distortion in the same manner as step 10).

3) If the right-left distortion balance is improper, loosen the fixing
screw of No.2/3 mirror unit rail to change and adjust the right-left
balance of No.2/3 mirror unit rail.
(Note)
If the distortion in the lead edge side (when viewed in the paper
transport direction) is greater, change the height of the left rail of
No.2/3 mirror unit.
If the distortion in the rear edge side (when viewed in the paper
transport direction) is greater, change the height of the right rail
of No.2/3 mirror unit.
(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 manual key 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 mirror base (scanner) scanning speed.
(2) Main scanning direction magnification ratio adjustment
a. Note

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″ × 14″ paper.
2) Execute SIM 50 – 01
3) 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%.
4) Measure the image loss amount (R mm) of the scale image.
Set C = 10 × 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 × 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)
3) Make a copy and measure the void amount of image rear edge.
Void amount (Standard value: 2 – 3mm)

Procedures
1. Set the digital multi meter range to DC500V.
2. Set the positive side of the test rod to the connector CN-10-1 (DV
BIAS) and set the negative side to the connector CN10-2 (FG).
3. Execute SIM 8-1. (The developing bias is outputted for 30 sec.)
4. Adjust the control volume (VR-121) so that the output voltage is –
400 ±5V.
Procedures
1. Set the digital multi meter range to DC700V.
2. Set the positive side of the test rod to the connector CN11-3 (GRID)
of high voltage section of the power PWB and set the negative side
to the frame ground (radiating plate).
3. Execute SIM 8-3. (The main charger output is supplied for 30 sec
in the grid voltage LOW output mode.)
4. Adjust the control volume (VR-141) so that the output voltage is –
400 ±20V.
5. Execute SIM 8-2. (The main charger output is supplied for 30 sec
in the grid voltage HIGH output mode.)
6. Adjust the control volume (VR-142) so that the output voltage is 580
±10V.
4. Duplex adjustment
A. Adjusting the paper reverse position in memory
for duplex copying
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)

B. Adjusting trailing edge void in duplex copyin
mode
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) Image cut rear end void quantity (R-SPF) 50-19(AE)
The size (length) of a document read from the R-SPF is detected,
the image at the trailing edge of the first printing surface is cut to
make a void area. (The adjustment of void quantity at the time
when the cassette paper size is not recognized.)
2) Paper trailing edge void quantity 50-19 (TEXT)
This adjustment is made when the cassette paper size is recognized. The trailing edge void quantity can be adjusted by changing
the trailing edge image laser OFF timing.
The paper void quantity should be first adjusted before the image cut
trailing edge void quantity (R-SPF) is adjusted.
Paper
The trailing edge void on the first printing surface
is shown above.
Adjust the setting so that the void area is 4 - 5 mm.
An increase in 1 of setting represents 0.1 mm in void area.
(2) Image cut trailing edge void quantity (R-SPF)
1) Set the test chart so that the scale is positioned as shown below.
Scale (D-D mode)
2) Execute simulation 50-19 to turn on the AE lamp and make the
printing mode in the D-D mode.
3) Remove and reinsert the cassette.
NOTE: Make sure to carry out this step before making a copy
during this adjustment.
4) Make a copy and check the void area of the scale on the image.
Adjust the setting so that the void area is 2 - 4 mm.
An increase of 1 in setting represents an increase of 0.1 mm in
void area.

When this simulation is executed, the currently set correction value is displayed. Enter the desired correction
value with the 10-key and press the print key. The entered value is stored. (The correction value ranges from 1
to 99. 0 or 50 for zero correction.)
Front print in the S-D mode and even page print in the D-S mode are performed with reverse memory operation
from the rear of the original. When, therefore, the print position adjustment of the output image is required,
perform the adjustment as follows:
The image direction in reverse memory copy is shown in Fig. 1. When the original scanning is made in the
arrow direction, output images are printed from the rear edge of scanning.
If, therefore, the print lead edge is shifted, set the reference chart so that the reference position is in the rear
and use this simulation to change the simulation set value so that the lead edge of print images comes in the
proper position.
Printing is started at the print start position and executed from the final memory image data to the head data.
By changing the position of the end data stored in memory with the simulation set value, the image lead edge
position is adjusted and the read edge position of scanning is changed.
Therefore, the end position of scanning is changed by the simulation set value to change the position of the end
data stored in memory. The image lead edge is adjusted in this manner.

(3) Expanded PWB interface section
The MCU PWB and the expanded PWB are connected by CN5 connector to make serial communication (UART).
The FAX PWB uses signals in Table A, and the PCL PWB uses signals in Table B.
Recognition of FAX PWB or PCL PWB:
If /FREADY is LOW, the FAX PWB expansion is recognized.
If /PREADY is LOW, the PCL PWB expansion is recognized.
The GDI/USB PWB is connected to CN15 connector to control switching between IEEE1284 port and USB port.
If USB cable isn’t connected to the GDI/USB PWB, the /1284-EN signal
becomes LOW to allow the user of IEEE1284 port.
If USB cable is connected, the /USB-EN signal becomes LOW to allow
the use of USB port.
Since USB has priority, when USB cable is connected, it is selected.
That is, when USB cable is connected, IEEE1284 port (parallel port) is
disabled.
