CHAPTER I FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS  
1.  
FEATURES  
This printer has the following features:  
1200dpi Resolution and 10ppm Printing Speed  
600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and ten pages per minute  
(ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter size paper). The printer also  
supports 1200 (H) x 600 (V) dots per inch (dpi) resolution for Windows  
DIB graphics. ( It is recommended to add memory when printing in  
1200 x 600dpi mode.)  
User-Friendly Operation for Windows  
The dedicated printer driver and TrueTypeTM-compatible fonts for  
Microsoft® Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 are available on the floppy  
disk supplied with your printer. You can easily install them into your  
Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our  
unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows  
applications and allows you to set various printer settings including  
toner saving mode, custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale  
adjustment, resolution, and so forth. You can easily setup these print  
options in the graphic dialog boxes through the Printer Setup menu  
within the Windows Control Panel.  
Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface  
The printer driver can monitor your printer’s status using bi-directional  
parallel communications.  
The printer status monitor program can show the current status of your  
printer. When printing, an animated dialog box appears on your  
computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error  
occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For  
example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display  
“Paper Empty” and instructions for the corrective action to take.  
Versatile Paper Handling  
The printer has two multi-purpose sheet feeders and a straight paper  
path mechanism. From the front Feeder 1, you can load A4, letter,  
legal, B5, A5, A6, and executive sizes of paper, and various types of  
media including envelopes, postcards, organizer paper, or your custom  
paper size. From the rear Feeder 2 you can load A4, letter, legal, B5  
and executive sizes of paper. The front Feeder 1 also allows manual  
paper loading, so you can also use labels and transparencies.  
Environment-Friendly  
Economy Printing Mode:  
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to  
obtain draft copies for proof-reading. You can select from two economy  
modes 25% toner saving and 50% toner saving, through the Windows  
printer driver supplied with your printer.  
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode):  
Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the  
printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 13W when in sleep  
mode.

Low Running Cost:  
The toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit. You need to replace  
only the toner cartridge after around 2,200 pages, which is cost  
effective and ecologically friendly.  
Remote Printer Console Program for DOS  
The utility program, Remote Printer Console (RPC), is available on the  
floppy disk supplied with your printer. When you operate your computer  
in the DOS (Disk Operating System) environment, this program allows  
you to easily change the default settings of the printer such as fonts,  
page setup, emulations and so on.  
This program also provides a status monitor program, which is a  
Terminate-and-Stay Resident (TSR) program. It can monitor the printer  
status while running in the background and report the current status or  
errors on your computer screen.  
Popular Printer Emulation Support  
This printer supports three printer emulation modes, HP LaserJet 5P,  
Epson FX-850, and IBM Proprinter XL. The printer also supports  
Auto-emulation switching between HP and Epson or HP and IBM. If you  
want to select the printer emulation, you can do it using the Remote  
Printer Console Program.  
Enhanced Memory Management  
The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer  
hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can  
automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the  
printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full  
page 600dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the  
printer's standard memory.

<Data receive Mode>  
There are two modes in this unit. One is the CPU receive mode and the other is the  
DMA receive mode. In the CPU receive mode the CPU receives the command data  
from the PC, and after the CPU is switched to the DMA mode, it receives the image  
data and writes it to the DRAM directly.

Paper Transfer  
2.2.1  
Paper Supply  
The pick-up roller picks up one sheet of paper from the paper feeder every time it is rotated  
and feeds it to the paper feed roller.  
Pick-up roller  
Papers  
Registration sensor lever  
Hopper plate  
Separation pad  
Fig. 2.19  
The paper is gripped between the pick-up roller and the separation pad and separated into  
individual sheets.  
The pick-up roller is directly connected to the sector gear, whose rotation is forcibly  
stopped by the gear stopper; when the pick-up solenoid is activated, the clutch mechanism  
is engaged by the solenoid action and the sector gear is driven; when it has completed one  
full turn its rotation is stopped again by the gear stopper. The paper drawn out by the  
pick-up roller pushes against the top of form sensor lever and the paper top  
position/absence of paper is detected by sensing the motion of the lever.  
2.2.2  
Paper Registration  
When paper picked up from the multi-purpose sheet feeder (MPF) pushes against the top  
of form sensor actuator, the registration sensor lever is caused to turn, and the photo  
sensor detects this motion. When this signal from the sensor is detected the paper feed  
roller is stopped temporarily by the clutch. The paper is fed to the nip point between the  
paper feed roller and the pinch roller in the multi-purpose sheet feeder, and the skew of the  
paper is corrected by pushing the leading edge of the paper against the nip point. When the  
paper feed roller starts to be rotated again when it is released by the clutch, paper with the  
leading edge correctly aligned, is fed by the paper feed roller and is transported to the  
transfer roller.

Charging  
The drum is charged to approx. +1000V by an ion charge which is generated by the primary  
charger. The charge is generated by ionization of the corona wire, which has a DC bias  
from high-voltage power supply applied to it. The flow of the ion charge is controlled by the  
grid to ensure it is distributed evenly on the drum surface. The drum sleeve is regulated to  
approx. 280V by the voltage regulator.

Corona wire  
Fig. 2.25  
The primary charge uses a corona wire, but since the drum is positively charged, only less  
than 1/10 of the usual quantity of ozone is generated compared with the negatively charged  
drum. The level of ozone expelled from the printer is therefore not harmful to the human  
body. Applicable safety standards have been complied with.

2.5.3  
Developing  
Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to  
transform it into a visible image.  
The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of  
conductive rubber and the supply roller which is also made of conductive sponge rotate  
against each other. The toner is charged and carried from the supply roller to the  
development roller. The toner adheres to the development roller and is conveyed to the  
drum at an even thickness controlled by the blade. The toner is nipped between the  
development roller and the drum and developed onto the latent image on the drum. The  
electrostatic field between the drum and the development roller, which is DC-biased from  
the high-voltage power supply, creates the electrostatic potential to attract toner particles  
from the development roller to the latent image area on the drum surface.

Transfer  
(a) Transfer process  
After the drum has been charged and exposed, and has received a developed  
image, the toner formed is transferred onto the paper by applying a negative charge  
to the backside of the paper. The negative charge applied to the paper causes the  
positively charged toner to leave the drum, and adhere to the paper. As a result, the  
image is visible on the paper.  
(b)  
Cleaning process of transfer roller  
If the toner is not transferred onto the paper perfectly, it is possible that there may be  
residual toner on the drum which will adhere to the transfer roller. The transfer  
voltage charges to a positive voltage during non-printing rotation of the drum.  
Therefore the transfer roller is cleaned by returning the positive charged toner  
adhered on the transfer roller onto the photo-conductive drum.

2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage  
In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto  
the paper but some remains on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is  
cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed and  
collected on the cleaning roller itself. The residual toner on the cleaning roller will be  
discharged to the drum when starting or non-printing time. The toner will be collected by the  
developing roller and reused (for further developing).  
2.5.6  
Erasing Stage  
Before the cleaning stage, the drum surface is exposed to the light emitted from the erase  
lamp. (LED lamp) This stage prepares the drum by decreasing its surface voltage  
uniformly, ready to receive uniform change in the primary charging stage.  
2.5.7  
Fixing Stage  
An image transferred on paper by static electricity is fixed by heat and pressure when  
passing through the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fixing unit. The thermistor  
ASSY keeps the surface temperature of the heat roller constant by detecting the surface  
temperature of the heat roller and turning on or off the halogen heater lamp. The cleaner  
ASSY HR eliminates toner stains on the surface of the heat roller.

CHAPTER IV MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
1.  
INTRODUCTION  
1.1  
Initial Check  
(1)  
Operating environment  
Check if :  
• The source voltage stays within ±10% from the rated voltage shown on the rating  
plate.  
• The printer is installed on a solid, level surface.  
• The room temperature is maintained between 10°C and 32.5°C. The relative  
humidity is maintained between 20% and 80%.  
• The printer is not located in a dusty place.  
• The printer is not exposed to ammonia fumes or other harmful gases.  
• The printer is not located in a hot or humid area (such as near water or a  
humidifier).  
• The printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.  
• The room is well-ventilated.  
• The printer is not placed where the ventilation hole of the printer is blocked.  
(2)  
Print paper  
Check if :  
• A recommended type of print paper is being used (if the paper is too thick or too  
thin, or tends to curl, paper jams or paper feed problems may occur, or printed  
images may be blurred).  
• The print paper is damped. [If so, use fresh paper, and check whether the print  
quality improves or not.]  
(3)  
(4)  
Consumables  
Check if :  
• The Toner lamp is not lit on the control panel when a toner cartridge is installed in  
the printer. [If the above lamp is lit, replace the cartridge with a new one. If blank  
spots occur on printouts, take out the drum unit and slowly rock it to redistribute the  
toner evenly.]  
Others  
Condensation:  
When the printer is moved from a cold room into a warm room in cold weather,  
condensation may occur inside the printer, causing various problems as listed  
below:  
• Condensation on the optical surfaces such as the scanning mirror, lenses, the  
reflection mirror and the protection glass may cause the print image to be light.  
• If the photosensitive drum is cold, the electrical resistance of the photosensitive  
layer is increased, making it impossible to obtain the correct contrast when  
printing.  
• Condensation on the corona unit may cause corona charge leakage.  
• Condensation on the hopper gate and separation pad may cause paper feed  
troubles.  
CHAPTER IV -1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
If condensation has occurred, wipe the effected units or parts with a dry cloth.  
If the drum unit is unpacked soon after it is moved from a cold room to a warm room,  
condensation may occur inside the unit, which may cause incorrect images. Instruct the  
user to allow the unit to come to room temperature before unpacking it. This will take one or  
two hours.  
1.2  
Basic Procedure  
If a malfunction or incorrect print appears, make an initial check following the basic  
procedure below:  
(1)  
Check the error lamps following the inspection procedure described later in this  
section. If no error lamps are lit, see Section 4 for troubleshooting information.  
(2)  
If any defective image output is found, follow the image defect fault descriptions in  
this section.  
2.  
CONSUMABLE PARTS  
2.1  
Drum Unit  
The Drum lamp is on when the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life.  
Life expectancy:  
20,000 pages at 20 pages per job  
8,000 pages at 1 page per job  
Note:  
There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature,  
humidity, type of paper and toner that you use, the number of pages per print job,  
etc..  
2.2  
Toner Cartridge  
Toner low:  
The Data and Alarm lamps blink once every five seconds.  
The Data and Alarm lamps blink once every second.  
Toner empty:  
Life expectancy:  
2,200 pages/a new toner cartridge  
(when printing A4- or letter-size paper at 5% print coverage)  
Note:  
Toner life expectancy will vary depending on the type of average print job printed.

Incorporated Inspection Modes  
The printer incorporates various inspection modes such as the factory inspection mode  
and the test print mode. The inspection mode varies depending on the model of the printer.  
This printer supports a factory inspection mode, continuous grid pattern print mode, 3  
patterns print mode and NV-RAM value dump mode.  
The operation of the inspection mode is as follows.  
(1)  
(2)  
Turn off the power switch of the printer.  
With the top cover open, turn on the power switch while holding down the  
switch on the control panel.  
When you enter this inspection mode, the Drum lamp is ON. Holding down the panel  
switch will cause the lamps turn ON in the order Drum Alarm Ready Data →  
Drum. When you release the switch, a mode is selected.  
The mode selected is indicated by the lamp which is ON when you release the  
switch.
