GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE SERVICE FOR e-STUDIO181/211
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1) Transportation/Installation
- When transporting/installing the equipment, remove the drawer, employ two persons and be sure
to hold the positions as shown in the figure. The equipment is quite heavy and weighs approximately 34 kg (74.96 lb), therefore pay full atten­tion when handling it.
- Be sure not to hold the movable parts or units (e.g. the control panel, ADU or RADF) when trans-
porting the equipment
- Be sure to use a dedicated outlet with AC 110 V / 13.2 A, 115 V or 127 V / 12 A, 220-240 V or 240
V / 8 A for its power source.
- The equipment must be grounded for safety.
- Select a suitable place for installation. Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and
direct sunlight.
- Provide proper ventilation since the equipment emits a slight amount of ozone.
- To insure adequate working space for the copying operation, keep a minimum clearance of 80
cm (32”) on the left, 80 cm (32”) on the right and 10 cm (4”) on the rear.
- The equipment shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be easily accessible.
- Be sure to fix and plug in the power cable securely after the installation so that no one trips over
it.
- When the equipment is used after the option is removed, be sure to install the parts or the covers
which have been taken off so that the inside of the equipment is not exposed.

2) General Precautions at Service
- Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service (except for the service
should be done with the power turned ON).
- Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once
a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area.
- When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise
noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places.
- Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
- The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband
since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity.
Caution: Before using the wristband, unplug the power cable of the equipment and
make sure that there are no charged objects which are not insulated in the vicinity.
- Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to
expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting service.
- Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, fuser unit, damp
heater and areas around them.
- Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers, developer, high-voltage trans-
former and power supply unit. Especially, the board of these components should not be touched since the electric charge may remain in the capacitors, etc. on them even after the power is turned OFF.
- Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g.
rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts pulleys, fans and laser beam exit of the laser optical unit).
- Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges
underneath.
- When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and
rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam.
- Use designated jigs and tools.
- Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents.
- Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.
3) Important Service Parts for Safety
- The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, batteries, IC-RAMs including
lithium batteries, etc. are particularly important for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly. If these parts are short-circuited and their functions become ineffective, they may result in fatal accidents such as burnout. Do not allow a short-circuit and/or do not use the parts not recom­mended by Toshiba TEC Corporation.

Laseremissionseinheit
Diese Einheit besteht aus der Laserdiode, dem Fokussierungsobjektiv, der Blende und dem Zylin­derobjektiv.
- Laserdiode Diese Laserdiode zeichnet sich durch eine geringe Regeldifferenz, eine kleine Laservariation und einen niedrigen Schwellenstrom aus. Die Blende der Laseremissionseinheit ist unter dem Fokussierobjektiv angeordnet, um die Form der Laserstrahlen in der primären und sekundären Scanrichtung festzulegen. Die Laserdiode gibt Laserstrahlen als Reaktion auf die Signale der Laseremissionssteuerung (ein/ aus) von der Lasertreiber-PC-Platine (LDR) aus. Die durch das Fokussierobjektiv geführten Laser­strahlen werden auf die Trommeloberfläche fokussiert.
- Vorsichtsmaßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Lasern Dieses Gerät enthält eine Laserdiode, die einen unsichtbaren Laserstrahl emittiert. Da man diesen Laserstrahl nicht sehen kann, ist bei der Handhabung der Komponenten der optis­chen Lasereinheit, bei der Durchführung von Arbeiten und bei der Justierung des Laserstrahls äußerste Vorsicht geboten. Arbeiten dürfen niemals anhand anderer als den vorgeschriebenen Anleitungen durchgeführt werden; andernfalls kann es zu einer Schädigung Exposition durch Laser­strahlung kommen. Die Lasereinheit ist vollständig mit einer Schutzabdeckung versiegelt. Solange ausschließlich die Arbeitsschritte der vorgeschriebenen Anleitungen durchgeführt werden, tritt der Laserstrahl nicht aus, und es besteht keine Gefahr, der Laserstrahlung ausgesetzt zu werden.
Das folgende Laser-Warnetikett ist an der Abdeckung vorne rechts angebracht.
Warnhinweise:
- Setzen Sie sich während der Wartungsarbeiten nicht dem Laserstrahl aus.
Dieses Gerät ist mit einer Laserdiode ausgestattet. Es ist unbedingt zu vermeiden, direkt in den Laserstrahl zu blicken. Keine reflektierenden Teile oder Werkzeuge, wie z. B. Schraubendreher, in den Pfad des Laserstrahls halten. Vor den Wartungsarbeiten sämtliche reflektierenden Met­allgegenstände, wie Uhren, Ringe usw., entfernen.
- Bei Wartungsarbeiten am eingeschalteten Gerät dürfen keine unter Strom stehenden, drehbaren
oder betriebsrelevanten Bereiche berührt werden. Nicht direkt in den Laserstrahl blicken.
- Im Rahmen der Wartung unbedingt das Leistungsschild und die Etiketten mit Warnhinweisen

[ 2 ] Function of each board
MAIN board: This is the board taking the leading part in all systems. It consists of the SoC, ASIC, memory (SDRAM, Flash ROM), etc. In the SoC (System control), which is a core of this MAIN board, the functions of the CPU, image processing, page memory control, CODEC, external interface (USB) control, etc. are embedded and performed by one chip. Based on the data input from the control panel, the SoC controls each system, such as the ASIC, each memory, CIS unit and laser optical unit, and thus permitting the scanning of originals and the printing of data.
SRAM board: This is the board on which the SRAM for storing the user's setting information and counter value and its backup function are mounted. When the MAIN board is replaced, attaching this board to the new MAIN board can assume the data of the previous equipment.
LPNL board: This is the board on which each button switch and LED on the control panel are mounted.
CTRG board: This is the board on which the IC chip for storing information about the toner cartridge (number of prints, identification data, etc.) is mounted.
CTIF board: This is the interface board with the CTRG board in the toner cartridge. Information written in the IC chip on the CTRG board is read into the SoC on the MAIN board through this board.
LDR board: This is the board on which the laser diode and the ASIC are mounted. The laser is emitted based on the image data signal output from the SoC on the MAIN board.

SNS board: This is the board on which the light sensor for detecting the radiating position of the laser is mounted. It outputs the H-sync signal to the SoC on the MAIN board.
PS-ACC: This is the unit to generate each DC (high/low) voltage, which is used in the equipment, from the external AC electric power input. This is then provided to each electric part.
FUS board: This is the board to provide AC electric power for driving the damp heater. * Optional for NAD/MJD/CND model, standard for other models.
•CIS: This is the unit witch performs optical-to-electrical conversion to convert the light reflected by the original into the electrical signals. It consists of a light source (LEDs), optical system, CCD sensor, etc.

3.2 Details of Copying Process

1. Photoconductive drum
The photoconductive drum consists of two layers.The outer layer is a photoconductive layer made of an organic photoconductive carrier (OPC), and the inner layer is an aluminum conductive base in a cylindrical form. The photoconductor has the following property: when it is exposed to light, the electrical resistance it possesses increases or decreases according to the strength of the light. Example:
- Strong light Resistance is decreased (works as a conductor.)
- Weak light Resistance is increased (works as an insulator.)

[Formation of electrostatic latent image] In the processes of charging, data reading, data writing, discharging described later, negative potential of the areas on the drum corresponding to black areas of the original are eliminated, while the areas on the drum corresponding to white areas retains the negative charge. As this image on the drum formed by the negative potential is not visible, it is called an “electrostatic latent image.”

2. Charging Charging is the process to apply charge evenly on the drum surface. The needle electrode produces negative corona discharge is controlled by the grid, allowing the drum surface to be evenly charged with the negative potential. The surface potential on the drum is determined by the grid potential and is controlled to a certain value by the grid control circuit.

3. Data reading (scanning) Data reading is the process of illuminating the original with light and converting the reflected light into electrical signals. This equipment uses the CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for data reading. The optical image information read by the CIS is converted into electrical signals (image signals), which are then transmitted to the image processing section.

- Developer material
The developer material consists of a mixture of the toner and carrier. The toner is charged to the negative polarity and the carrier to positive polarity due to the friction with each other caused by mixing.
Toner: Mainly consists of the resin and carbon. Carrier: Consists of the ferrite and resin coating on
its surface to provide consistent frictional electrification.
Note:
If the developer material is used for a long time (beyond its normal life span), the toner is caked onto the carrier.
The charging performance of the carrier is lowered. Symptom: 1. Image density is lowered.
2. Toner scattering occurs.
3. Background fogging occurs.
Solution: Replace the developer material.

6. Transfer Transfer is the process of transferring the toner image (visible image) formed on the drum surface onto paper.
Method: A paper passing the side of the drum is
charged to the opposite polarity to the that of toner by the corona discharge of the transfer charger.
The toner moves from the drum surface onto the paper.

7. Separation Separation is the process of separating paper which is temporarily adhering to the drum due to the static electricity during the transfer process.
Method: Apply negative DC bias to the separation
charger.
The positive charge on the paper is decreased.
The electrostatic adherence force between the

Paper may not be separated from the drum surface because of moisture or malfunction of the transfer/separation charger during printing. As the result, the paper enters into the cleaner and causes jamming. To prevent this, a separation finger is used to forcibly separate the paper which was left around the drum.

8. Fusing Fusing is the process of melting the toner on the paper and fixing it firmly on the paper.
Method: The melting point of the toner (main
ingredient: resin) is 90-100°C.
(Heat) Toner is melted by the heat of the surface of
the fuser roller.
+
(Pressure) The pressure roller is pressed against the
fuser roller by the springs to increase the adherence of the melted toner onto the paper.
Heat and pressure are applied to the paper when it passes between the fuser roller and pressure roller.

10.Discharging Discharging is the process of eliminating the negative charge remaining on the photoconductive drum before the next charging process. If the residual charge is not eliminated, the following phenomenon occurs:
Negative charge remaining on the photoconductive drum surface causes ungiven application of the charge for the next printing.
The next print will have a double image. (The preceding image appears.)
Solution: The entire surface of the photoconductive drum is illuminated with light by the discharge LED array.
The photoconductive drum becomes electrically conductive.
All of the negative charge remaining on the photoconductive drum is conducted to the ground.
Preparation for the next printing is completed.

6. SCANNER

6.1 General Description

In the scanning section, this equipment uses a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for scanning the image. The surface of an original is irradiated with light from the LED array mounted on the CIS unit and the reflected light is scanned by the CCD where the optical image data are converted into an analog electrical signal, and then transmitted to the MAIN board. After the binarization and the various image processing operations necessary for image formation are performed on the MAIN board, the data are transmitted to the writing section.

6.3 Functions

1. Original glass This is a glass for placing original. Original (image) placed on the original glass is scanned by the CIS. The ADF original glass is used when original is read with the Automatic Document Feeder. Original is transported on the ADF original glass by the Automatic Document Feeder, and the transported original is read under the ADF original glass by the CIS. Do not use such solvents as alcohol when cleaning the surface of the ADF original glass, because it is coated so as not to be scratched by originals.
2. CIS unit (CIS) The CIS unit (CIS) is a sensor unit which consists of an LED array, lens array and CCD array of the same length as that of the original width in the primary scanning direction closely attached and unified. The original is irradiated at one time with the LED light source which consists of LEDs of RGB colors (one for each color), light guiding tube to lead each light to the original and a YG-LED array, and then the reflected light is scanned by the CCD. In the CCD method (reduction optical method), the reflected light of the exposure lamp is LED through mirrors, lens and slit to the CCD where the optical-to-electrical conversion for scanned data is performed. In contrast, in the CIS method (close-contact sensor method), those operations are processed only by the CIS unit. The CIS has characteristics of shallow depth of focus and high lightsensitivity.

Scans the light reflected from an original and converts it to an electrical signal. In order to realize the same-to-scale optical system of A3 width and 7084 image pixels, the equipment uses 11 CCDs (each CCD has 644 image pixels per line) to make up a CIS sensor of 600x600 dpi resolution for scanning.
- YG-LED array
Works as an assistant light for the RGB light guiding tube. This YG-LED array is used to reduce the shadow of the original when scanning is performed. This LED array produces the output power of 7.68W.

Page 94
- RGB light guiding tube
A light from the LED array mounted on the CIS unit (CIS) goes through the original glass and lights the original. Then, the reflected light from the original is scanned by the CCD. By adjusting each amount of R, B and YG-LED light with reference to the amount of G-LED light, it is possible to attain a light color which has nearly the same color effect as that of the YG xenon light for the light sensitivity of the CCD. This LED array produces the output power of 0.125W X 3.
3. Scan motor (M1) This is a two-phase stepping motor which drives the CIS unit (CIS). The rotation of the motor is transmitted to the CIS unit through the timing belt to move the unit in the secondary scanning direction.
4. CIS home position sensor (S1) This sensor detects if the CIS unit is at its home position.

6.5 Contact Image Sensor Unit Control Circuit

6.5.1 Exposure LED control circuit

The cell guide mounted on the contact image sensor (CIS) unit is the main light source of the red/green/ blue LEDs and is used to expose originals. Also mounted is the LED array which is the subsidiary light source of the yellow-green LEDs. Turning each light source ON/OFF is controlled by the control signal (SCNLEDR/G/B/ASTOFF-1) output from the ASIC on the MAIN board. According to the amount of each light source, white standard generation is performed (reading the reflected light amount of the white shading correction plate). Black standard generation is also performed (reading the light amount when the light source is turned off), and according to the result, adjustment by the light amount adjustment signal (SCNLEDVR1/2/3-1) output through the D/A converter from the SoC is made. However, the light amount of the green light source is not changed because it is the standard value of the adjustment. The other light amount is changed based on the green light source; in this way the total light amount is adjusted.

6.5.2 CCD control circuit

On the contact image sensor (CIS) unit, CCD (Charge Coupled Device) are mounted as the optoelectronic element for converting the light reflected on the original into electrical signals (analog signals). CCD is driven by the clock signals output from the SoC on the MAIN board, and then it divides the photoelectric-converted analog signals into four output signals and outputs to the AFE. The AFE converts the analog signals into 8-bit digital signals and outputs to the SoC.
Optoelectronic conversion
The CCD of the contact image sensor (CIS) unit in this equipment performs photoelectronic conversion and charge transfer by a combination of its shift register and photodiodes (light-receiving sensors) to output signals for a primary scanning direction. Each light-receiving sensor photoelectonically converts the received light into charge and transfers this to each shift register. These shift registers then transfer the charge in the direction of the arrows in the figure at the timing of the transfer clocking. This transfer clock pulse is equally input into every chip, and thus all the shift registers are driven at the same timing. The charge transferred into each chip is then combined into each channel, and then output in a time division system. Furthermore, the 4 channels simultaneously perform this process to output the scanning signals of multiple systems in parallel.
Shading correction
A variation is caused by the following factors in the CCD output.
1. The light source has a variation in its light distribution.
