Due to high-voltage scorotron charging, the charging wire can get contaminated by oxidization after a long rum. Therefore, it must be cleaned periodically from time to time using the method explained in chapter 3. Cleaning the charging wire prevents print quality problems such as black streaks. FS-1010...
The laser beam (780 nm wavelength) beam is dispersed as the polygon motor (polygon mirrors) revolves to reflect the laser beam over the drum. Various lenses and mirror are housed in the scanner unit, adjust the diameter of the laser beam, and focalize it at the drum surface. FS-1010...

A is approximately 0.3 mm.) The non-exposed areas of the drum F repel the positively charged toner as these areas maintain the positive charge. The developing roller A is also AC-biased to ensure contrast in yielding by compensating the toner’s attraction and repelling action during development. FS-1010 4-10...
The temperature of the heat roller is constantly monitored by the engine board using the thermistor and triac. Should the temperature of the heat roller exceed the predetermined value, the thermal cutout is activated to effectively disconnect the heater (halogen) lamp from power. FS-1010 4-12...
The residual charge is canceled by exposing the drum B to the light emitted from the eraser lamp E. This lowers the electrical conductivity of the drum surface making the residual charge on the drum surface escape to the ground. FS-1010 4-14...

• Check the transfer bias output on the high voltage board. This requires removal of the left cover and the test equipment. Replace the high voltage board if high voltage potential is not available on the board (See page 5-10). FS-1010 6-23...
• The drum axle in the process unit and its counter part, the grounding tab in the printer, must be in a good contact. If necessary, apply a small amount of electro-conductive grease onto the tab. The drum may be defective. • Replace the process unit. FS-1010 6-24...

• The EcoPrint mode can provides faint, unsharp printing because it acts to conserve toner for draft printing purpose. For normal printing, turn the EcoPrint mode off by using the Remote operation panel. For details refer to the printer’s User’s Manual. FS-1010 6-26...
• If a process unit which is known to work normally is available for check, replace the current process unit in the printer with the normal one. If the symptom disappears, replace the process unit with a new one. FS-1010 6-27...
Check the transfer roller. • If the transfer roller is contaminated with toner, clean the transfer roller using a vacuum cleaner; or by continuously printing a low-density page until the symptom has faded away. FS-1010 6-28...
