[4] UNP ACKING AND INSTALLATION
1. Unpacking
2 Avoid high temperature and high humidity, and avoid sudden
temperature change. (Avoid installation near a cooler or a heater.)
If not, paper absorbs moisture and dew forms in the machine,
causing paper jam or degraded image quality.
(Standard condition): The best condition to use the machine.
20 ∼ 25°C: 65±5%RH
(Temperature and humidity): 15 ∼ 30°C
The surrounding conditions of the machine affect the machine performance gr eatly. Use great car e for the following items.
(1) Enviro nm ent
1 Avoid direct sunlight, and avoid installation near the window. (Cur-
tains or blinds must be shut completely.)
If not, the plastic parts and the original cover may be deformed.
Even if the window is of frosted glass, there is no difference.
20
1530 35
3 Avoid dust and vibrations.
If dust enters the machine, malfunctions may occur.
4 Avoid installation to an unstable place.
Keep the machine in horizontal state to maintain the performances.
˚C
4 – 1
5 Avoid installation to a poorly ventilated place.
6 Avoid installation to a place where there are flammable materials
or ammonia gas, etc. If the machine is installed near a diazo
copier, the picture quality may be degraded and malfunctions may
occur.
(5) Grounding wire connection
1 Connect the grounding wire to prevent against a danger.
2 When connecting the grounding wire, connect only to the ground-
ing object (the grounding terminal of the power outlet, etc.) and
never connect to a gas pipe.
Grounding
termin al
7 Install near a power outlet.
(2) Space aroun d th e ma chine
Install the machine with its rear side about 10cm apart from the wall in
order to allow space to ventilation by the cooling fan.
Also allow eno ug h space around the ma chine for prop er op eration.
(3) Installation base
Set the machine in horizontal position in the following procedure.
Be sure to use a leve ling instrumen t (UKOGM0054CSZZ) to install
the machine on a flat, horizontal place.
(Note) If the machine is not in horizontal position, the toner density
control function may not work normally, resulting in degraded
picture quality.
(4) Power sour ce
1 Use the power source of the rated capacity.
2 Avoid complicated wiring. If not, the breaker or the fuse may be
overloaded.

2. Developing secti on
1) General descriptions
(1) Two-component developer
The developer is composed of toner and carrier.
Carrier serves as a me dium for attachi ng ton er onto the ele ctrostat ic
image on the photocondu ctor drum.
By stirring toner and carrier, they are rubbed to be charged positive
(+) and negative (–) respectively.
Since deve loper will deter iorate to degra de copy quality, it shou ld be
replaced regularly.
(2) Two-component magnetic brush development
The rotatable non-magnetic sleeve is provided over the magnet roller
and is rotated.
Carrier forms a ma gnetic brush on the sleeve surfa ce by magnetic
force to attach toner onto the electrostatic image on the photoconductor drum.
(3) Developing bias
When the photoconductor is charged and exposed to light (exposure ), th e surfac e poten tia l (volt ag e) of the p ho tocon duct or w ill no t
be lost completely. (The residual potential remains.)
Toner is attracted to the photoconductor by this residual potential,
dirty ing the phot oconductor. As a r esult, a dirt y copy of whi te background is generated.
To prevent against this, a voltage of the same polarity and higher than
the residual potential is applied to the MG roller, preventing toner from
being attached to the photoconduct o r surf a ce .

1. General description
• The optical section of this model is composed of the fixed focus
lens and six mirrors. Since the fixed focus lens is used, No. 4/5
mirror base is shifted according to the shift of the lens to change
the distance between the original and the drum (OID, Original
Image Distance) in reduction or enlargement copy.
The lens and No. 4/5 mirror unit are shifted by driving the stepping
motor with the signals from the main control PWB, allowing zooming of 151 steps in 1% increment in the range of 0.50 to 2.00.
56910
• Exposure is adjusted by changing the copy lamp voltage. The AE
sensor is provided in the zoom base to sense the density of the
original.
The copy lamp light is reflected by the original to the AE sensor,
which senses the density of the original and adjust the copy lamp
light quantity according to the density.
• The exposure system is the slit exposure system by moving light
source.

This model basic process and structure
• The Scorotron method is used to evenly charge the photoconduc-
tor surface to the given potential in the charge process. The
corona wire regularly used is now replaced with a new corona
charge mechanism that employs the 0.1mm thick stainless steel
saw teeth plate, in order to suppress ozone generated when the
oxide molecule in air is ionized.
• Considering the service efficiency, the process separation
mechanism is adopted.
• To prevent high voltage leakage by the loose corona charge unit, a
one-touch stopper mechanism is adopted.

(1) Photoconductor
• This model uses OPC (organic photoconductor) as photoconduc-
By negative discharging of the main charger, uniform negative charges are applied to the OPC drum surface.
The OPC drum surface potential is controlled by the screen grid
voltage to maintain the grid voltage at a constant level.
• When the drum surface potential is lower than the grid voltage,
electric charges generated by discharging of the charger go
through the screen grid to charge the drum surface potential until it
becomes equal to the grid voltage.
• When the drum surface potential virtually reaches the grid potential
level, electric charges generated by discharging of the charger
flows through the electrode of the screen grid to the high voltage
unit grid voltage output circuit, thus always maintaining the drum
surface potential at a level virtually equal to the grid voltage.
• The main corona unit employs the scorotron system to charge the
photoconductor surface to a certain level uniformly.
In addition, the conventional corona wire is replaced with the
corona charging mechanism by saw-teeth plate (stainless steel
plate of 0.1 mm thick). In corona discharge, oxygen molecules in
the air are ionized to generate ozone (O3). The mechanism restrict
the generation of ozone.

Step 2 (Exposure)
Light from the copy lamp is radiated on the document, and the optical
image of the document is reflected by the mirrors and projected
through the lens to the OP C drum.

Negative charges generated in the CGL move tow ards the positive
charges in the aluminum layer generated in step 3. While the positive
charges in the CGL move towards the negative charges on the CPU
drum surface generated in step 3. Therefore, positive charges and
negati ve ch arg es a re n eutr aliz ed in the alum inum laye r an d th e OPC
drum surface at the light radiating position, decreasing the OPC drum
surface potential. The CGL electric charge generating amount increase s in proport ion to the d ocument density, that is, refl ected ligh t

a greater quantity of the negative charges on the OPC drum surface

On the contrary, electric charges are generated more in the CGL

surface less. Therefore, the OPC drum surface potential corresponding to the lighter portion of the document is lower, and that corresponding to the darker portion of the document is higher. Latent

surface. The potential in the darker document projecting area (low
intens ity) is high (m uch negative c harges) and a ttracts more toner.
The potential in the lighter document projecting portion (high intensity)
is low (less negative charges), and attracts less toner.

Step 4 (Transfer)
The transfer paper is charged higher than the OPC drum surface
potential by s tr on g negative discharge of the transfer char ge r, mak ing
the binding force between the transfer paper and toner stronger than

Step 5 (Separati on)
After transfer, the copy paper and the drum are negatively charged.
Since, however, the negative potential of the copy paper is higher
than tha t of the drum, a attract ion for ce is appl ied betw een the dr um
and the copy paper. To avoid this, AC corona is applied to the copy
paper by the separation charger to decrease the copy paper potential
to the same level as the drum surface potential. The attraction between t he copy pape r and the drum is weakened by this, a llowing
separation of the copy paper by its own extending force. If the copy
paper is not separated by the separation charger, it is separated by
the separation pawl mechanically.

(6) Process control function
[Summary]
The process control function detects the density of the standard toner
image formed on the photoconductor, the density of the initial image
and controls the charging grid voltage so that the same level as the
initial imag e den si t y is pro vid ed .
That is, the process conditions are established and the high voltage
output and exposure level are controlled to stabilize the toner density.
In this model, the density sensing level is automatically set.

Process control
1 Toner patch images are formed on the photoconductor surface
under the three process conditions (MC grid bias voltage).
At the first process control, a toner parch image is formed with the
reference grid voltage –410V as the center and ±30V. At the
second or later process control, the MC grid bias voltage determined at the former process control is used as the center, and a
toner patch is formed under the process condition of ±32V to the
center value.
2 Measure the three toner patch images formed in the above and
the drum surface with the process density sensor to obtain the
relations.

The grid voltage value where the same density level as the reference level is obtained is displayed by Sim. 44-9 "a". This value is
displayed with 50 as the center in the range of 0 ~ 99 in integer
numbers. The correction for 50 is 0V (–410V), and the correction
for 58 is +30V (–442V).
4 When the MC grid bias voltage is corrected by the process con-
trol, the corresponding light quantity is calculated to control the
copy lamp.
To correct the MC grid voltage, the delta value of the sensitivity
level when the initially recorded reference grid voltage is –440V
and the MC grid voltage where the same density is obtained in
process control is fed back to the MC grid voltage of each mode.
Process control timing
In the SF-2035, the process control is performed in the following
timing:
1 When the main switch is turned on and the first copy is made:
2 At every specified copy quantity (First copy after 1,000 copies)
Judged by the total counter.
The correction is reset by Simulation 25-2.
3 After the specified time after turning on the main switch. (First
copy after 44, 60, 120, 180 min)
Drum marking
In this mo del, a toner patch im age is for med in the sa me posit ion on
the photoconductor drum surface to improve the accuracy of the
process control.
A marking is provided on the drum and the marking is sensed before
forming a toner patch image. If the marking level is not sensed, the
devel oping lamp blinks and the t rouble code (F2-32) is displayed.
BVS: Sensor detection level on the photoconductor drum surface
PVS: Sensor detection level with the toner patch image
Obtain the above two levels from the calculation formula and record
them as the reference values.
A. STD BA: Reference level when detecting the drum surface
→ STD BA = BTS x 20
B. STD PA: Reference level when detecting the toner patch image
→ STD PA = PTS x 20
In the density correction, the process conditions are determined
so that the ratio of the reference levels
may be maintained at constant.

MC grid bias voltage
In the SF-2214/2118, the absolute value of the output of the density sensor is not directly used for control calculation, but the ratio
of the sensor output value (BA) on the drum surface and the
sensor output (PA) of the toner patch image is used for control
calculation.
* The grid bias value is obtained so that the ratio of the drum
surface level and the sensor level when forming patch level and
the sensor lev el when forming p atch images is 200:40.
Though , therefor e t h e light quan ti t y of the reflection type se ns or is
varied by dirt or deterioration, the ratio (PA/PB) will not be affected
by change in light quantity to provide stable control.

(5) TRANSPORT/FUSING SECTION
1) General
The SF-2116/2118 allows transport of paper of max. A3 (11" x 17")
and min. A5 (8 1/2" x 5 1/2").
After images are transferred on the paper, the paper is separated
from the drum by the separation pawl and transported to the fuser
section by rotat ions of the resist roller and the tran sport belt.
The dru m separation pawl is provid ed under the p rocess unit. It is
made by turning on (separating) the solenoid inside the main drive
unit.

5 Drive system division
The fuser unit is rotated by the main drive unit. In case of manual
rotation of the fuser unit to remove paper jam, however, excessive
loads may be applied to the gears. To prevent against this, the
pressure of the upper/lower heat rollers is reduced when the
machine clamshells are opened. In addition, the fusing gear is so
constructed that the drive is not transferred to the drive system.

(7) High voltage section
1) General
There are three kinds of coronas; the main corona, the transfer
corona, and the separation corona. The main corona employs the
scorotron system, where the drum surface is evenly charged with
negative charges controlled by the screen grid between the corona
and the drum. The transfer corona is used to transfer toner images on
the drum to th e cop y pape r. A high, negat ive voltag e is app lie d to the
rear side of the paper. The separation corona applies AC corona to
the copy paper to eliminate potential difference with the drum to allow
separation of th e paper.
The o utput vol tage of t he main ch arger and the transfe r charger is
supplied by transformer 1. The feedback current from the transfer
charger is controlled to be constant and outputted to the main
charger.

<Adjustment procedure>
(1) Put a scale on the original table as shown in the figure below,
and execute simulation 48-02. The machine starts warming up
and the ready lamp lights up. At the same time, the previously
set valu e ( 1 ∼ 99) is displayed. Under this state, make a nor-
mal copy and calculate the copy magnification ratio.
(2) Replace the displayed value with the copy magnification ratio
correction rate obtained in (1).
(Input value) = (Previously set value) / (Copy magnification
ratio correction rate [%]) ×10
(Example) When the previously set value is 25, the input
values of examples 1 and 2 are as follows:
