SUBJECT

Countermeasure to Drive Unit Deformation

MODEL

CATEGORY

Countermeasure to field
trouble, Treatment in the field

1550: From Oct. 1997
1560: From Nov. 1997
[Temporary countermeasure
parts have been applied to
October machines (1st Lot.)

CONTENT

[Phenomenon]
Abnormal noises from the driving unit and incorrect developer may be caused by the rubbing of the
developer driving gear (P4/Item 16) within the drive unit and the toothed edge of the developer unit
gear (P18/Item 5).

1550, 1560

FIELD APPLICATION

To be applied when necessary

FACTORY APPLICATION

Date

97/11/26

UNIT

Drive Section

DTM-F7808/7X03

[Cause]
The drive unit has been deformed in the rear direction because of shock occasioned during the
installation of the process unit. The developer driving gear within the drive unit and the engagement
of the developer gear do not synchronize and the toothed edge is rubbed.

[Countermeasure]
To prevent drive unit deformation, the shaft length in the drive unit (P4 Item 13/developer drive gear
insertion side) has been extended and made to contact against the rear frame.
In order to prevent vibration noise in the aligning area, a rubber sheet has been added to be attached
to the rear frame.

[Measure in the field]
In copiers to which the above countermeasure has been applied, the gears rubbed by the toothed
edge should be replaced. The countermeasure part for the field only (spacer) should be also applied
as shown below.

Spacer installing procedure

1. Open the front cover and the upper unit. Then remove the paper-feed bypass cover.

[Note Regarding Application at the Factory for the 1560]

Since application at the factory for the 1560 is from Nov. 1997, current copiers (1st Lot from Oct. at
the factory) should use the field countermeasure listed above (attachment of spacer).
However, the countermeasure has been applied to the 1560 from the first lot.
