Laser exposure system Image formation system Pickup/transport/delivery system...
Chapter 2 2.3 LASER EXPOSURE SYSTEM 2.3.1 Overview/Configuration 2.3.1.1 Outline 0010-6044 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine's laser/scanner system serves to form latent images on the photosensitive drum according to the video signals coming from the video controller PCB, and its principal components include the laser driver PCB and the scanner motor. These components are grouped as a laser scanner unit, and are controlled by the DC controller PCB.
Page 37
Chapter 2 VDO4, /VDO4 VDO3, /VDO3 VDO2, /VDO2 VDO1, /VDO1 F-2-3 The machine's laser/scanner unit is designed in such a way that a single scanner mirror is used to guide 2 laser beams (colors) at the same time (4-laser/2-mirror method). Instead of the 4 scanner mirrors and scanner motors, the machine uses 2 mirrors and motors to perform the same mechanism, permitting the use of a smaller laser unit and, ultimately, a smaller machine size.
Chapter 2 4) The scanner mirror reflects the laser beam while rotating at a specific speed so that the beam scans the surface of the photosensitive drum at a corresponding speed. 5) When the photosensitive drum rotates at a specific speed and, in addition, the laser beam scans the surface of the photosensitive drum at a corresponding speed, a latent image appears on the drum surface.
Chapter 2 2.3.2.3 Automatic power control (APC) 0011-1371 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine makes sure that the intensity of the laser diode (LD) remains at a specific level at all times. The APC mechanism may be either initial APC or between-line APC, and both are controlled by the laser driver circuit as follows: 1) When the DC controller PCB switches the operating mode of the laser driver circuit to LD forced activation mode, the laser driver circuit forces the LD to go on.
Chapter 2 2.3.2.6 Fault Detection 0010-6049 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine possesses a mechanism used to check the laser diode for a fault. In the course of initial APC, the laser IC converts the laser current of the laser diode into its corresponding level of voltage (PDOUT), and sends the result to the DC control PCB.
Chapter 2 3) If the phase of /BDI12 is behind that of the phase reference clock signal, the DC controller generates /SCNACC12; if ahead, it generates /SCNDEC12 to correct any variation in rotation between lines. 2.3.3.4 Fault Detection 0010-6051 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The CPU monitors the frequency comparator of the ASIC to find out whether the scanner motor is rotating at a specific speed.
Chapter 2 Exposed area Time (t) -100 Unexposed area -500 Primary Laser beam Primary Transfer charging exposure charging (step 4) (step1) (step2) (step1) F-2-10 Step 1: Primary charging To prepare for the formation of a latent image, the surface of the drum is charged to a uniform negative potential. The primary charging roller operates in keeping with the photosensitive drum, and directly charges the surface of the drum.
Chapter 2 Developing sheet Photosensitive drum Developing blade Developing cylinder Toner feed roller AC bias DC bias F-2-13 The toner (developer) used by the machine has insulating properties, and is charged to a negative potential as a result of friction against the surface of the developing cylinder and the developing blade.
Chapter 2 ETB belt Static charge eliminator Paper Transfer roller Photosensitive drum DC bias F-2-15 The rigidity of print paper is used to separate it from the drum. (curvature separation) To prevent a toner splash in print images (in the form of dots, mostly occurring in a low temperature, low humidity environment), the machine is equipped with a static eliminator.
Chapter 2 2.4.2 High-Voltage Control 2.4.2.1 Outline 0010-6081 LBP5000 A high-voltage circuit is used in conjunction with the application of various biases to the primary charging roller, developing cylinder, transfer roller, and fixing pressure roller. These high-voltage biases are generated by the DC controller PCB through control of the high-voltage power supply circuit. High-voltage Fixing pressure roller power supply...
Chapter 2 - Print Bias (positive DC bias) While printing sequence is under way, the machine uses the print bias to transfer the toner from the surface of the photosensitive drum to print paper. - Sheet-to-Sheet Bias (positive DC bias) While continuous printing is under way, the machine uses the sheet-to-sheet bias to make sure that the residual toner on the photosensitive drum will not move to the surface of the ETB.
Chapter 2 2.4.3.4 Image halftone corrective control (D-half control) 0010-6077 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine uses the video controller PCB to execute gradation control based on the measurements of the halftone density taken by the DC controller PCB. When D-max control ends, the DC controller PCB and the video controller PCB executes D-half control in the following sequence: 1.
Chapter 2 presence (color displacement pattern) and the absence (ETB) of toner. 2) The DC controlled PCB checks the location of the detection pattern with reference to the timing at which the intensity of reflected light changes. SR10 SR11 Light receiver (PC) Light emitter (PT) Direction of belt rotation...
Chapter 2 DC controller PCB Memory controller PCB Photosensitive drum Primary charging roller Main motor Memory tag Developing cylinder Developing cylinder drive solenoid Toner feed roller Stirrer plate F-2-22 The cartridge consists of the following: photosensitive drum, primary charging roller, developing cylinder, toner feed roller, stirring plate, memory tag. The developing cylinder, toner feed roller, stirring plate, and photosensitive drum are rotated by the main motor, and the primary charging roller operates in con- junction with the photosensitive drum.
Chapter 2 If the Bk toner absence is detected, the machine will stop working. If the color toner absence is detected, only monochrome print can be done. 2.4.4.5 Detecting the Level of Toner 0010-7907 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine monitors the level of toner inside the cartridge. To find out how much toner remains, the DC controller PCB refers to the time it takes for light to move through the cartridge while printing is under way.
Chapter 2 DC controller PCB MAIN MOTOR DRIVE signal Main motor Color misregistration/Density sensor unit ETB feed roller ETB belt Direction of belt rotation Transfer roller ETB driven roller F-2-24 The ETB unit consists of the following: ETB, ETB feed roller, ETB slave roller, transfer roller, color displacement/density sensor. The ETB is driven by the main motor through the ETB feed roller.

Chapter 2 F-2-26 The presence of paper in the manual feeder slot is checked by the manual feeder paper sensor (SR3), and paper in the cassette is checked by the cassette paper sensor (SR2). The machine's various feed rollers are controlled by the DC controller PCB through control of 3 motors (main motor M1, fixing/delivery motor M2, pickup motor M3) and 3 solenoids (SL1, SL2, SL3).

Chapter 2 The machine picks up sheets of paper from inside the cassette one by one. The machine uses the cassette paper sensor to check the presence/absence of paper inside the cassette. Picking Up Paper from the Manual Feeder The machine picks up the sheet of paper from the manual feeder. (Only one sheet of paper may be placed in the manual feeder at a time.) The machine uses the manual feeder paper sensor to check the presence/absence of paper in the manual feeder, and uses the registration roller to move the paper inside the machine.
Chapter 2 Registration Shutter Skew Correction Print Paper warp warp F-2-28 2.5.2.5 Transport Speed Control 0010-9411 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine is designed to switch the speed at which paper is moved according to type so as to prevent fixing faults. Specifically, the DC controller switches the speed over 2 settings in response to the media selection command coming from the video control.

When a jam occurs in the fixing assembly, the fixing film assembly is moved away from the fixing pressure roller.
Chapter 2 2.5.3 Detecting Jams 2.5.3.1 Jam Detection Outline 2.5.3.1.1 Outline 0010-6139 LBP5000 / LBP5100 The machine is equipped with the following paper sensors used to check the presence/absence of paper and also the movement of paper if any. 1: registration paper sensor (SR1) 2: pre-fixing paper sensor (SR5) 3: fixing delivery sensor (SR4) The machine checks for the presence/absence of paper at a specific sensor at such times as programmed in the CPU.
