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.

Setting conditions
1)Set copy conditions such as the copy quantity and the copy density with the operation section, and press the COPY button. The information
on copy conditions is sent to the MCU.
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.

Fusing resistor
This model is provided with a fusing resistor in the fusing section to improve transfer efficiency.
General descriptions are made in the following.
General descriptions
Since the upper heat roller is conductive when copy paper is highly
moist and the distance between the transfer unit and the fusing unit is
short, the transfer current leaks through the copy paper, the upper heat
roller and the discharging brush.

(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.

5)At this time, the paper is fed past 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.

3)After about 0.1 sec from when the main motor start rotating, the
tray paper feed solenoid (PFS) turns on momentarily.
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 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.

4)After more than half rotation of the pick-up roller, the paper feed
latch is brought in contact with the projection of the clutch sleeve,
stopping rotation of the pick-up roller.
8)The paper separated from the drum is passed through the fusing
paper guide, the heat roller (fusing section), POD (paper out detector) to the copy tray.
