3.2.1 Scanner Mechanism This mechanism consists of the document cover, the scanner unit (scanner cover), and the automatic document feeder (ADF). The scanner unit consists of a scanner top cover, CIS unit, CIS drive assembly, and scanner base. The detailed illustration on the next page shows the components making up the ADF: document pull-in roller, document separation roller, document feed roller, ADF motor, and document front and rear sensors.

Separate roller shaft ASSY Separate roller Suction roller Separation rubber ASSY Document rear actuator Document front actuator Separation roller shaft ASSY ADF motor Document Pressure roller Ejection roller Document cover LF roller Pressure roller Pressure roller Document rear actuator Document front actuator This scanner mechanism supports a dual scanning system: ADF scanning and flat-bed scanning.
Page 50
(1) ADF scanning: Document moves across stationary CIS unit Placing a document face up in the document support activates the document front sensor, switching to ADF scanning. The CIS drive mechanism (details below) operates for each scanning command executed. The CIS unit first moves to the white-level reference film for white level compensation and then to the ADF scanning position.
3.2.2 Printing Mechanism 3.2.2.1 Paper supply The feed roller picks up a few sheets or one sheet of paper from the paper tray every time it is rotated and feeds it to the separation roller. Regist front actuator Separation roller Pinch roller Pinch roller Paper feed roller...
Page 52
(1) The paper is gripped between the separation roller and separation pad and separated into individual sheets. The separation roller is connected to the gear 52 P/R. (2) The section of the gear 52 P/R, where there is no cog, is normally fixed at the position as shown in the figure below by the P/R solenoid ASSY.
3.2.2.2 Push-up function of paper tray In order to improve the transfer function of the paper tray, the pressure plate in the paper tray is lifted up by the motor. The pressure plate comes down while the recording paper tray is inserted into the machine. When the main motor rotates, it drives through some gears to actuate the gear 45 arm/FR.

3.2.2.3 Paper registration After the paper top position is detected by the regist front actuator, the paper, separated into individual sheets by the separation roller, is fed further for a specified time, and the paper top position reaches the paper feed roller so that the paper skew is adjusted. Then, the F/R solenoid is turned off, the paper feed roller starts turning, and the paper is fed to the transfer roller in the drum/toner ASSY.
3.2.2.4 Paper eject After the printing image on the exposure drum is transferred onto the paper, the paper is fed to the fixing unit to fix unfixed toner onto the paper. Afterwards, the paper is ejected from the fixing unit by the heat roller and the pressure roller in the fixing unit.
3.2.2.6 Toner cartridge Develops the electrostatic latent image on the exposure drum with toner and forms the visible image. Toner life end mode The life of the toner cartridge is starter: 1,500, standard: 2,500 pages at the 5% coverage. In the case of low- duty printing, “Toner Life End”...
Page 58
New toner detection mechanism The printer detects the amount of the remaining toner with the sensor and indicates the timing to replace the toner cartridge by displaying ‘Toner Life End’ on the LCD to the user. The problem such as toner leak or image defect may occur when low-duty printing is continued for a long time. To prevent such a problem, the printer provides the function displaying the ‘Toner Low’...
Page 59
When the new toner detection switch detects that the toner cartridge is replaced with a new one, the developing bias voltage is initialized at the same time. The toner used for the printer has a property that print density is light first and gradually darker in the course of usage.
3.2.2.7 Print process Charging The drum is charged to approximately 900V 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 the 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.
Page 61
3. The laser beams reflected by the reflection mirror go straight toward the exposure drum below it, then expose the exposure drum. The area exposed to the laser beam is the image to be printed. The surface potential of the exposed area is reduced, forming the electrostatic image to be printed.
Page 62
Transfer 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 back of the paper. The negative charge applied to the paper causes the positively charged toner to leave the drum, and adhere to the paper.

CHAPTER 4 TRANSFER OF DATA LEFT IN THE MACHINE TO BE SENT FOR REPAIR This chapter describes how to transfer data left in the machine to be sent for repair. The service personnel should instruct end users to follow the transfer procedure given in this chapter if the machine at the user site cannot print received data due to the printing mechanism defective.
4.1 TRANSFERRING RECEIVED FAX DATA When the machine at the user site requires to be repaired, unplugging the power cord from the wall socket for sending the machine for repair will lose received FAX data if unprinted and left in the machine.
CHAPTER 5 DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY AND LUBRICATION This chapter details procedures for disassembling and reassembling the machine together with related notes.
