Precautions

1.3 Power Safety Precautions

1.3.1 Power Source

For 110 VAC printers, do not apply more than 140 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified power cord and connector. For 220 VAC printers, do not apply more than 260 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified power cord. This manual assumes that the reader is a qualified service technician.

Plug the power cord, with a 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.

1.3.2 Disconnecting Power

Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not completely de-engergize the printer. You must also disconnect the printer power cord from the AC outlet. Position the power cord so that it is easily accessible during servicing so that you may power down the printer during an emergency. Disconnect the power plug 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 case,

■ 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.

Service Manual 1-3

Precautions

1.4 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 to the chassis or circuit board, and observe all other safety precautions.

■ Immediately before handling any semiconductor components 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 unpackaged 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 IC’s and EPROM’s carefully to avoid bending pins.

■ Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s).

1.5Service Safety Summary

1.5.1 General Guidelines

For qualified service personnel only:

Refer also to the preceding Power Safety Precautions. Avoid servicing alone: Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this product unless another person capable

of rendering first aid or resuscitation is present. Use care when servicing with power: Dangerous voltages may exist at several points in this product. To avoid

personal injury, do not touch exposed connections and components while power is on. Disconnect power before removing the power supply shield or replacing components.

Do not wear jewelry: Remove jewelry prior to servicing. Rings, necklaces and other metallic objects could come into contact with dangerous voltages and currents.

Power source: This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more then 260 volts rms for a 220 volt AC outlet or 140 volts rms for a 110 volt AC outlet between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

Summary of Product

1) Imaging Unit

The imaging unit creates the image using an electro-photo process. The imaging unit consists of the following:

■ An OPC Drum

■ Waste Toner Assembly

■ Charge Roller Assembly

2) Transfer Belt (ITB)

ITB stands for Image Transfer Belt. The image developed on the drum is transferred first to the transfer belt. This is called the T1 transfer (Primary Image Transfer).

■ The printer uses a four pass process to place the image on the transfer belt.

■ The image is created on the drum and transferred to the transfer belt in the following order: first yellow (Y),

then magenta, then cyan, and finally black.

3) Transfer Roller

Once the transfer of the image from the drum to the belt is complete, the full image is transferred from the belt to the transfer roller. The transfer roller then transfers the image to paper. This is called the T2 transfer (Secondary Image Transfer).

4) Tray 1 or FCT (First Cassette Tray)

Tray 1 stores and feeds paper to the printer. A pick roller picks paper, controls drive, feeds paper, and removes static electricity from the paper.

Tray 1 Specifications:

■ Paper Feed: side registration

■ Paper Direction: Long edge

■ Paper Discharge: Separation Claw

■ Capacity: 250 Sheets

■ Paper Size: A4, Letter

■ Paper Weight (average): 60~90gsm (16~24lbs)

8) Duplex Unit

The duplex unit is used to reverse paper feed to print the on backside of paper. The duplex unit is not an option. The transfer roller is part of the duplex unit.

Duplex Unit Specifications

■ Drive: Main Motor DC

■ Paper Reversal: After the front side of the original document is printed and begins reaches the exit path, the

exit roller pulls the paper back through the duplex unit for printing on the reverse side.

9) Exit Unit

The exit unit guides the paper to the output tray. Exit Unit Specification

■ Capacity : 250 sheets standard (20 lb)A4/Letter (There is no output tray full sensor)

■ Paper Direction: Face Down

■ Exit Roller Drive: Driven by the main motor DC, rotating clockwise for normal feed and counter-clockwise

to reverse feed for duplex printing.

10) Toner Cartridges

There are four toner cartridges, one each for C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow) , and K (Black).

11) Fuser Unit

The fuser unit consists of 2 heat lamps, 2 heat rollers, 2 thermostats and one thermister. After the image is transferred from the transfer roller onto the media, the fuser melts and fuses the toner to the paper by applying pressure and heat to complete the print job.

12) Laser Unit (LSU)

The laser unit forms the latent image on the surface of the drum using a static charge.

13) Main Motor (Brushless DC)

The main motor drives the following components: imaging unit, transfer belt, feeder, fuser, exit, and duplex unit. Main Motor Specification:

■ Power: 40W Max (24V)
