Power Safety Precautions
Power Source
For 110 VAC units, 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 units, do not apply more
than 264 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 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.
Disconnecting Power
Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not completely de-engergize the equipment. You must also disconnect
the unit 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 unit 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 equipment is exposed to any excess moisture,
■ if the equipment is dropped or damaged,
■if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,
■whenever you clean the product.

Precautions
Service Manual

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 to the chassis or circuit board is off, and observe all other safety
precautions.
■ 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. W earing 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 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 conductiv e, you may ground
the bag and use it as a conductive surface.
■Do not us e freon-propelled chemicals, as they can generate electrical charges that
may damage some devices.
■Do not remove a static sensitive replacement component or electrical sub-
assembly from its protective package until you are ready to install it.
■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. Simple
motions such as your clothes brushing together or lifting a foot from a carpeted
floor can generate enough static electricity to damage a static 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).

4.2.6 LSU (Laser Scanner Unit)
The LSU is controlled by the video controller. It converts the received video data to pulsed laser light that
is scanned onto the surface the OPC drum using a rotating polygon mirror. This creates the latent image on
the drum surface. The OPC drum rotates at the same speed as the paper is fed. When the edge of the polygon mirror is detected, the LSU generates the /HSYNC signal. The CPU syncs the left margin of the image
to this signal. After detecting the /HSYNC signal, the image data is sent to the LSU to begin transfer of the
image left margin to the paper.
Each surface of the polygon mirror provides one line for scanning.

4.3.4 Sensor input circuit
1) Paper Empty Sensor
The Paper empty sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the engine board notifies the CPU when
the cassette is empty. The empty signal to the CPU sets the D0 Bit in the CPU, which
results in the CPU turning on the second LED (yellow) on the front panel.
2) MP Sensing
The MP Sensor (Photo Interrupter) on the engine board notifies the CPU if there is paper present
at the MP. It reads the D0 Bit of the CPU to recognize paper in MP, and the paper is fed from
MP if present.
3) Paper Feeding
When paper passes the actuator (Feed Sensor), the circuit detects the signal from the photo
interrupter, sends a status signal to the CPU, and enables image data after a certain delay. If it
doesn't detect the feed sensor within 1 sec. after paper is fed, paper Jam0 occurs (Red and Yellow
LEDs will be turned on at the Front Panel ). Developer insertion is detected using the same principle.
When the developer is mounted, it operates the actuator and the signal from the photo interrupter is
detected by the sensor input circuit. That process is called developer ID sensing.
4) Paper Exit Sensing
The system detects the paper exiting the unit with the exit sensor and actuator attached to the
frame. The circuit detects the on/off time of the exit sensor, and the normal operation or jam
information is passed to the CPU. If exit is not detected, JAM2 occurs.
5) Cover Open Sensing
The Cover Open sensor is located on the front cover. When the front cover is opened, +24V to the
DC fan, solenoid, main motor, polygon motor in the LSU, and HVPS is cut off. The cover-open sensing
is read from the D0 bit of CPU, and initiates developer ID sensing.
6) DC FAN / SOLENOID Driving
This function is driven by a transistor and controlled by the D6 bit of the CPU. When the bit is high,
the fan is driven by turning on the transistor, and it is off when the sleep mode is selected. There
are two solenoids, and they are driven by the paper pick-up and MP signal. The drive time is 300ms.
The diode protects the driving transistor from the noise pulse, which is emitted when the solenoid
is de-energizing.
7) Motor Driving
The motor driving circuit is formed when the Driver IC is selected. The A3977 (Motor driver IC) is
used in this case. The resistance Rs value of sensing and the voltage value of the V reference can
be changed by the motor driving voltage value.

4.4 SMPS & HVPS
The SMPS supplies DC power to the system. The supply receives 110V/220V input, and outputs
5V, 12V, and 24V to supply the power to the main board and ADF board.
The HVPS creates the high voltage for THV/MHV/Supply/Dev and supplies it to the developer to be used in
optimizing the image display. The HVPS uses the 24V as an input and outputs the high voltage for
THV/MHV/BIAS, toner, OPC cartridge, and transfer roller.

- Error : If MHV doesn't output, solid black print out occurs because toner on developing roller
moves to OPC drum due to the surface of OPC not being charged.
3)Cleaning Voltage (THV-)
- Function : Removes excess toner on transfer roller surface by negative voltage on OPC
drum to recover toners.
- Output Voltage : +300V/-150V
- Error : Toner contamination occurs at the backside of a printed-paper.
4) Developing Voltage (DEV)
- Function: Develops a toner image using a difference of electronic potential between the part
of the OPC drum exposed by the LSU and the part not exposed.
* Generally, the electronic potential of exposed OPC is -180V and exposed developer is -350V
when printing, so toner with minus (-) is developed on an exposed part.
- Output voltage: -430V DC ± 20V
- Error: 1. If DEV is GND, density is reduced significantly.
2. If DEV is floating due to poor ground contact, etc.,
density is increased significantly.
5) Supply Voltage (SUP)
- Function: Voltage to supply toner to developing roller.
- Output voltage: : -630V DC ± 50V (Use ZENER, DEV Gear)
- Error: 1. If SUP is GND, a density is reduced significantly.
2. If SUP is floating due to poor ground contact, etc., density drops to
to almost non-existant levels.

4.4.3 Fuser AC Power Control
Fuser (HEAT LAMP) gets heat from AC power. The AC power controls the switch with the Triac, a semiconductor switch. The 'On/Off control' is operated when the gate of the Triac is turned On/Off by Photo Triac
(insulting part).
In the other words, the AC control is a passive circuit, so it turns the heater On/Off using a signal from the
Engine Control.
When the 'HEATER ON' signal is turned on at Engine Control, the LED of PC1 (Photo Triac) turns on.
The blinking light, the Triac part (light receiving part) takes the voltage, and the voltage is supplied
to the gate of Triac and flows into the Triac. As a result, the AC current flows in the heat lamp, supplying
heat to the heat roller.
On the other hand, when the signal is off, the PC1 is off, the voltage is cut off at the gate of Triac, the Triac
remains off, and the heat lamp is turned off.
1) Triac (THY1) feature
- 12A,600V SWITCHING
2) Phototriac Coupler (PC3)
- Turn On If Current : 15mA~ 50mA(Design: 16mA)

4.5.1 Feeding
If feeding from the cassette, the pickup roller drive is controlled by the solenoid. The solenoid is switched
on and off by contro signals from either the general output port or the external output port. If feeding
from the manual feeder, paper presence is sensed by the manual sensor, and paper is fed by driving the
main motor, insert the paper in front of the feed sensor. While paper moves, occurrence of jam is judged
as below. (Refer to 6.2 Clearing Paper Jams])
4.5.1.1 Jam 0
• Paper is picked up, but cannot enter path due to paper feed failure.
• Paper is picked up and enters path, but it cannot reach the feed sensor in specified time due to slip, etc.
• After pick up, if the feed sensor is not on, pick up is repeated. After repeating pick up, if the feed sensor
is still not on after the specified time, Jam 0 is set.
- Jam 0 status indicates that the leading edge of the paper doesn’t pass the feed sensor.
• Even though the paper reaches the feed sensor, the feed sensor doesn’t turn on.
- It is a status that the leading edge of the paper already passes the feed sensor.
4.5.1.2 Jam 1
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the trailing edge of the paper does not pass the
feed sensor after the specified time. (The feed sensor cannot be Off)
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper does not pass the exit sensor after
the specified time. (The exit sensor cannot be On)
- The paper remains between the feed sensor and the exit sensor.
4.5.1.3 Jam 2
• After the trailing edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper does not pass the exit sensor after
the specified time.
4.5.2 Drive
By gearing, the main motor drives the rollers such as feeding roller, developing roller, fuser roller, and distributing roller. The step motor is controlled for the sections, acceleration section and fixed speed section.
In the initial stage of the motor run, appoint the acceleration section to prevent the isolation of the motor. It
is controlled by the A3977 motor driver IC. The step signal and the enable signal are sent to make the
phase for driving the motor in CPU.
4.5.3 Transfer
The charging voltage, developing voltage and the transfer voltage are controlled by PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation). Each output voltage is changeable due to the PWM duty. The transfer voltage admitted
when the paper passes the transfer roller is decided by environment recognition. The resistance value of
the transfer roller is changed due to the surrounding environment or the environment of the set, and the
voltage value, which changes due to the environments, is changed through AD converter. The voltage
value for impressing to the transfer roller is decided by the changed value.

4.5.4 Fusing
The temperature of the heat roller’s surface is changed due to the resistance value of the thermistor.
By converting the voltage value to a digital value, through the AD converter, the temperature is selected.
The AC power is controlled by comparing the target temperature to the value from the thermistor. If the value
from the thermistor is out of the controlling range while controlling the fusing, the error stated in the table
occurs.
4.5.4.1 Error Type
4.5.5 LSU
The LSU is consists of the LD (Laser Diode) and the polygon motor control. When the printing signal occurs,
it turns on the LD and drives the polygon motor. When the light sensor detects the beam, Hsync occurs.
When the polygon motor reaches normal speed, LReady occurs. If the two conditions are satisfied, the
status bit of the LSU controller register becomes 1, the LSU is ready. If the two conditions are not satisfied,
the error shown in the table below occurs.
ErrorDescription
Open heat error When warming up, it has been lower than 68 °C over 25 sec
Lower heat error• Standby:
It has been lower than 100°C over 25 sec
• Printing:
- 2 consecutive pages: it has been lower than 145°C over 5 sec
- 3 consecutive page; it has been 40°C lower than the fixed fusing temperature over 4 seconds.
Over heat error It has been higher than 220°C over 3 seconds

5.1 General Precautions on Disassembly
When you disassemble and reassemble components, you must use extreme caution. The close
proximity of cables to moving parts makes proper
routing essential.
If components are removed, any cables disturbed
by the procedure must be restored as close as
possible to their original positions. Before removing any component from the machine, note the
cable routing that will be affected.
Whenever servicing the machine, you
must perform the following:
1. Check to verify that documents are not stored
in memory.
2. Be sure to remove the toner cartridge before
you disassemble parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Use a flat and clean surface.
5. Replace only with authorized components.
6. Do not force plastic-material components.
7. Make sure all components are in their proper
position.
8. Observe ESD precautions when handling sensitive electronic components.
Releasing Plastic Latches
Many of the parts are held in place with plastic
latches. The latches break easily; release them
carefully.
To remove such parts, press the hook end of the
latch away from the part to which it is latched.

Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:
• The tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.
• The tray has been pulled out during a print job.
• The front cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper was used that does not meet paper specifications.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range was used.
If a paper jam occurs, the On Line/Error LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the
jammed paper. If you don’t see the paper, open the covers.
Do not use a tweezers or a sharp metal tool when removing a jam.
The covering of a metal part can be removed which can cause an electric leakage.
