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.

:Carrier (Magnetized particle) :Toner (Charge negative by friction) (N) (S) Permanent magnet

(provided in three locations)

Step-4: Transfer

The visible image on the drum surface is transferred onto the print paper by applying a positive charge from the transfer corona to the backside of the print paper.

400V 8V

Toner is attracted over the shadowed area because of the developing bias.

MG roller

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.

AL-2030/2040CS/2050CS COPY PROCESS 6 - 3

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 Start key after lighting the ready lamp. The paper feed latch is in contact with the projection of the clutch sleeve.

2) When the Start key 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.

[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 AL-2050CS) 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.

(2) Main scanning direction magnification ratio

6) Check that the copy magnification ratio is within the specified range. If it is not within the specified range, perform the following procedures.

7) Execute SIM 48-1 to select the main scanning direction copy magnification ratio adjustment mode. To select the adjustment mode, use the [Exposure mode selector] key (or [ ] [ ] key for the AL-2050CS).

In the case of the automatic adjustment, when the START switch is pressed, the mirror base unit moves to the white plate for shading to scan the width of the reference line, calculating the correction value and displaying and storing this value.

After execution of the automatic adjustment, go out from the simulation mode and make a copy to check the magnification ratio.

If the magnification ratio is not in the specified range (100 ± 1.0%), manually adjust as follows.

(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

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.

B. Adjusting trailing edge void in duplex copy

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) 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.

ing 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. Void position to be checked

5. SPF/RSPF scan position automatic

adjustment

Place a A4 paper (white chart) so that it covers the SPF scan glass and the OC glass together, and close the SPF/RSPF.

When simulation 53-08 is executed, the current adjustment value is displayed as the initial display.

* Default is 1. Adjustment range is 1 – 99. Adjustment unit 1 =

about 0.127mm

* If the values are kept as the default values, SPF/RSPF scan is

not performed properly. The front area of the proper scan position may be scanned.

In case of AUTO, press [START] key, and the mirror unit scans from the home position to the SPF/RSPF scan position with the adjustment value displayed. The SPF glass cover edge position is calculated from the difference between the SPF glass cover edge and the OC side document glass CCD output level. If the adjustment is normal, the adjusted value is displayed. If abnormal, the error LED lights up with the current set value displayed.

During the error LED is lighted, when [START] key is pressed again, execution is performed again.

1) Put a scale on the original table as shown below, and make a normal copy (100%) on the front and the back surfaces to make a test chart.

7. 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.

Note: Since the printed copy is used as a test chart, put the scale

in paralled with the edge lines.

2) Set the test chart on the SPF and make a copy in the normal ratio (100%). (AL-2030/2040CS)

Set the test chart on the RSPF and make a duplex copy (D-D or D-S) in the normal ratio (100%). (AL-2050CS)

3) Compare the scale image and the actual image. If necessary, perform the following adjustment procedures.

4) Execute SIM 48-05.

5) The current sub scanning direction magnification ratio correction value is displayed in two digits on the display section.

6) Enter the set value and press the [START] key. When adjusting the RSPF, use [2-SIDED COPY] key to select

single/duplex after entering the one page print mode, performing 2-page single copy.

[Function]

When [ENTER]/[START] key is pressed, the main motor (and the duplex motor in the case of a duplex model) is operated for 30sec.

To reduce toner consumption, if the developing unit is installed, the developing bias, the main charger, and the grid are also outputted.

In this case, laser discharge is required when stopping the motor, the polygon motor is also operated at the same time. Check for installation of the developing unit. If it is not installed, the high voltage above is not outputted and only the motor is rotated.

To check the developing bias, install the developing unit. After completion of 30sec operation, the machine goes into the sub code entry standby mode.
