Power Safety Precautions
Warning
Power Source
For 115 VAC printers, do not apply more than 127 volts RMS between the supply
conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. For 230 VAC printers,
do not apply more than 254 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between
either supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified power cord and
connector. This manual assumes that the reader is a qualified service technician.
Plug the three-wire power cord (with grounding prong) into a grounded AC outlet
only. If necessary, contact a licensed electrician to install a properly grounded
outlet. If the product loses its ground connection, contact with conductive parts
may cause an electrical shock. A protective ground connection by way of the
grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Disconnecting Power
Turning the power Off using the power switch does not completely de-energize
the printer. You must also disconnect the Power Cord from the printer’s
Alternating Current (AC) inlet. Disconnect the Power Cord by pulling the plug,
not the cord.
Disconnect the Power Cord in the following cases:
•if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged,
•if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the product,
•if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,
•if the printer is dropped or damaged,
•if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,
•whenever you clean the product.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor components, and the respective sub-assemblies that contain
them, are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). These
components include Integrated Circuits (ICs), Large-Scale Integrated circuits
(LSIs), field-effect transistors, and other semiconductor chip components. The
following techniques will reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by
static electricity.
Be sure the power is Off and observe these other safety precautions.
•Immediately before handling any semiconductor component assemblies,
drain the electrostatic charge from your body. This can be accomplished by
touching an earth ground source or by wearing a wrist strap device connected
to an earth ground source. Wearing a wrist strap will also prevent
accumulation of additional bodily static charges. Be sure to remove the wrist
strap before applying power to the unit under test to avoid potential shock.
•After removing a static sensitive assembly from its anti-static bag, place it on
a grounded conductive surface. If the anti-static bag is conductive, you may
ground the bag and use it as a conductive surface.
•Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges
sufficient to damage some devices.
•Do not remove a replacement component or electrical sub-assembly from its
protective package until you are ready to install it.
•Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a
replacement device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit
assembly into which the device will be installed.
•Minimize body motions when handling unpacked replacement devices.
Motion such as your clothes brushing together, or lifting a foot from a
carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an electrostatically sensitive device.
•Handle ICs and Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories (EPROM’s)
carefully to avoid bending pins.
•Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on
Circuit Boards.

Print Process Overview
Print Process
The Phaser 6000/6010 and WC 6015 MFPs are LED-based full-color xerographic
printers operating on a tandem printing system that has four color-specific
drum/developer sets for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black (YMCK).
The four color-separated images of the original document are created with toner
on the drums and then transferred in registration onto the transfer belt (IBT =
Intermediate Belt Transfer) to reproduce a full color image. The completed toner
image is transferred and fixed on the print medium, and then output as a print.
This section focuses on the printer’s operational characteristics providing detailed
descriptions of the media path, sensors, xerographic and major system assemblies.
The print process consists of these steps:
1. Xerographics
a.Charging – The drum surfaces are charged with electricity.
b.Exposure – The drums are exposed to LEDs.
c.Development – Image is developed with toner.
d.Primary Transfer – The four color separation images on the drums are
transferred onto the transfer belt.
e.Cleaning – The drums are electrically neutralized and the toner remaining
on the drums and BCRs (bias charge rollers) is removed.
f.Secondary Transfer – The toner image on the transfer belt is transferred
onto the media.
g.Neutralization – Electric charge of the paper is eliminated.
h.Cleaning – The toner remaining on the transfer belt and Transfer Roller is
removed.
2. Fusing – The Fuser applies toner on to paper using heat and pressure.

Theory of Operation
The drum surface is charged with negative electricity by discharging of the bias
charge roller (BCR) while rotating at a constant speed. This process is performed in
parallel for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black colors.
The BCR is kept in contact with the drum and rotates following the rotations of the
drum. The BCR is a conductive roller, which receives negative voltage from the
High-Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) and discharges a negative Direct Current (DC)
voltage.
The drum surface is uniformly and negatively charged with DC bias voltage. The
drum surface is a photoreceptor (an insulator in a dark area and a conductor when
receiving light), and the drum inside is conductive.
The cleaning roller is a sponge that contacts the BCR to catch the toner.

Exposure
The Exposure process forms an invisible electrostatic latent image on the
negatively charged drum surface by illuminating it with the LEDs (Light Emitting
Diodes). This process is performed in parallel for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black
colors.
The printers uses a LED Print Head (LPH) for exposure. The LPH is made up of
numerous LEDs that are lined up in the fast scan direction.
The LPH has 57 SLEDs (Self-Scanning Light Emitting Diodes), and each SLED has
256 dots of luminous points. The result is 14592 luminous dots that are capable of
producing a high quality image of 1200 dpi in the fast scan direction.
The LEDs are lit in one line units based on the print data (image data) that is sent
from the printer controller.
The lenses then focus the light onto the drum surface. The LED is only lit for the
parts where the one line is made up of pixels (small dots that form characters or
images). When parts of the drum surface are exposed, they become conductive
and the negative charges flow towards the positive side to cancel out the positive
charges, reducing the potential on the drum surface. These sections with lowered
surface potential form the electrostatic latent image.

Development
In the developer section, incoming toner is mixed with the existing developer
(toner/carrier mixture) by the auger, and then supplied to the magnet roller
located near the drum surface. The toner and carrier are charged by friction due to
agitation (toner in negative, carrier in positive), and they attract each other
electrically. The carrier, due to its magnetic properties, is attracted to the magnet
roller, and then uniformly leveled by the trimmer rod.
The magnet roller is covered by a thin semi-conductive sleeve all over the surface.
The DB (Developing Bias) voltage is supplied to this semiconductor sleeve from the
HVPS. The DB voltage is negative DC voltage combined with AC voltage. The DC
voltage keeps the magnet roller at a constant negative voltage against the
photoreceptor layer of the drum. Therefore, at the area where the negative electric
charge on the drum surface does not decrease, the potential is lower than that of
the magnet roller, while the potential is higher than that of the magnet roller at
the area where the negative charge on the drum surface decreases. The AC
voltage shakes the developer on the surface of the magnet roller so that the toner
easily flies to the drum.

Only the portions of the drum surface where the negative charge has decreased
below that of the magnet roller (electrostatic latent image) attract the toner to
form an image on the drum.
Once the toner is deposited on the drum, the potential and the toner-attracting
force of the corresponding portion decreases because the increase of negative
charge lowers the potential at that portion.
Primary Transfer
In the primary transfer process, the toner images formed on the drums are
transferred onto the transfer belt via the 1st BTR (first bias transfer roller). The four
color separation images are transferred from the drums onto the transfer belt in
the order of Y, M, C, and K.
The 1st BTR is a metal roller, to which the positive voltage from the HVPS is
applied. The 1st BTR positively charges the backside of the transfer belt with the
voltage generated by the contact resistance with the transfer belt.
The toner images on the drums are transferred to the transfer belt due to the
attracting force generated between the negative polarity of the toner image and
the positive polarity on the transfer belt.

The toner image on the transfer belt moves onto the print medium due to the

Multiple Sheet Feed Prevention
The sheets in the tray are occasionally stuck together along the edges. The stuck
sheets cause a multiple sheet feed or a jam. The sheets are fed by the Feed Roller
to a position between the Feed Roller and the Separator Pad. Normally, when only
one sheet is fed, both the Feed Roller and Separator Pad rotate to allow the sheet
to pass. However, when two sheets are fed concurrently, only the Feed Roller
rotates and the Separator Pad is locked thereby allowing the upper sheet to
separate from the lower sheet that is stopped by the friction with the Separator
Pad at rest.
The Separator Pad is pushed toward the Feed Roller by spring pressure, and is
controlled by the torque limiter (Friction Clutch) with which it is coupled.

When a sheet is fed from the Tray to the toner transfer section, the registration of
the sheet may not be correctly maintained due to misalignment of lead edges in
the tray.
To avoid this problem, the lead edge position needs to be aligned at the
Registration Rollers before the sheet is fed in front of the transfer belt, or in front of
the BTRs.
By thrusting the edge of the sheet fed out of the Main Paper Tray or Bypass Tray
against the Registration Roller that is locked, the lead edge position of the sheet is
corrected.
Before the Registration Rollers are energized, the paper is advanced from the tray
to the rollers. This process aligns the leading edge as shown in the following
illustration.
By pushing the edge of the sheet against the Registration Roller that is not turning,
the lead edge of the sheet is registered.

When the sheet passes the registration section it then passes through the toner

belt is transferred onto the sheet. As the sheet is forwarded to the exit section, the
toner image is fused onto the sheet surface by the heat roller that is driven by the
Main Drive Assembly.
At the exit section, the sheet is ejected by the Fuser’s exit roller. The exit roller is
driven by the Main Drive Assembly.
