1. 7 Precautions on Set Up Copy machine performance and the copy quality is subject to and dependant on environmental conditions. To maintain good performance, quality, and safe operation, observe the following precautions: 1) For safe operation and to avoid trouble do not install the system under the following conditions: •...
1. 8 Precautions with Consumables Photoreceptor drum • Do not touch the surface (with the hand or anything else). • Stand the drum with the drum gear up for storage. • Be careful not to smear with saliva, water, oil and so on. •...
Page 25
• There are normally no special problems with storage and transport in a cold climate but, store in a low humidity condition. Do not put supplies near heaters. 5) Safety and hygiene Toner has the property of easily being wind blown. Toner on skin does not cause any damage to health but, inhaling it is undesirable even if a powder is simply dust.
Section II Control Functions 2. 1 Image Control Qualitative Reasoning Based Adaptive Controller • Even if the toner density is at it's standard level, the copy image may vary with time depending on the characteristics of drum and the environmental variations. To prevent this change, the copy density sensor which is installed under the developer unit controls the image to stablize the copy image.
Page 27
• Qualitative Reasoning Based Adaptive Controller Qualitative Reasoning Based Adaptive Controller is adaptive control on the basis of quantative reasoning theory. While successively reasoning and learning the change of process characteristics regardless of environmental changes and the variations with time and the number of copies on the copier, the system reads the patch marks and determines the best values of exposure and surface potential to establish the best gamma curve for optimum copy quality.
2. 2 Toner Density Control To keep toner density(toner carrier ratio) in the developer unit constant, the TDC sensor (toner density sensor) which is installed under the developer unit detects the amount of carrier in the developer unit to control the toner density. <Fundamentals>...
Page 29
2) Maintain standard toner density While checking the output voltage of the TDC sensor for every copy, control the timing of toner supply to the developer unit so that the output voltage is 2.5V at all times to keep the toner density constant. Check TDC sensor output voltage at copying (or mixing).
2. 3 Trouble Avoidance Mechanism When some malfunction happens, this mechanism allows regular copy operation without error conditions (service man call) (providing the malfunction does not affect the basic copying operation and the appropriate function is not selected). <Indication> Appropriate function selected Appropriate function not selected The selected function is unavailable, Normal indication of copying...

2. 4 Toner Recycling System To maximize the number of copies which can be produced for each bottle, toner cleaned off of the drum needs to be returned to the developer for re-use. Under normal circumstances, the copy process can damage some toner. In addition, other undesireable materials may be cleared from the drum surface and mixed with re- useable toner (such as paper dust, etc.).
2. 5 Re-try Control for Paper Misfeed • Copy paper should pass the paper feed sensor within a specific time after the paper feed clutch turns on. To reduce paper misfeeds due to a slipping paper feed roller, the paper feed clutch turns on again (re-try operation). •...
Section III Sub Assemblies 3.1 Main Drive The driving mechanism of this machine is as follows. Main motor Fuser unit Pulley 1 Pulley 2 Transport roller Magnetic Bypass roller unit Drum Registration roller Paper feed unit Middle roller Middle gear Middle roller Paper feed unit (Lower stage) Name of motor...
(1) Detecting sheet bypass paper size • The paper size for the sheet bypass is detected by a matrix of sheet bypass paper size sensors which are installed on the sheet bypass tray. • When setting the paper in the sheet bypass tray and adjusting the paper guide, the matrix is as follows.
(2) Developing • The developer mixing unit contains developer which is a mixture of fine powder (non-magnetic toner) and fine ferrite carrier. • The developer is mixed by the transport screw and the mixing mill. The toner becomes charged ( + ) and the carrier becomes charged ( – ). The developer is magnetically stuck on the aluminum sleeve of the magnet roller, and the magnetic brush is formed.
(3) Supplying toner The Toner Hopper Unit supplies toner to the Developer Mixing Unit via the Reserve Tank, so toner addition is done in two stages, by turning the Toner Hopper Motor in either direction: Forward Direction: The bottle turns (via a spring clutch) to supply toner from the Toner Bottle to the Reserve Tank.
(4) Toner level detection • When the toner level sensor in the toner hopper detects no toner remaining, and does not detect toner after continuously turning the toner bottle "Add toner" is displayed. The copier is disabled. The machine can be used after the user's key input. After lighting the no toner indication, the machine stops after 300 copies.
(5) Temperature control The heat roller is provided with two halogen lamps (main heater lamp and sub heater lamp). The main heater lamp turns ON during warming up and copying operation. To control the maximum power consumption, the sub heater lamp turns ON during warming up and after release of pre-heat mode only in order to reduce the warming up time of fuser unit.
(6) Automatic detection of original paper size • Opening the platen cover by approx. 30 degrees to insert the original, the platen cover angle sensor turns on and four original size detection sensors operate simultaneously. • The original size detection sensors consists of light emission unit and light reception unit.
Section IV Preventive Maintenance The periodic maintenance service is performed by machine cleaning and parts replacements. It is essential to perform these service activities properly for customer satisfacation. The purpose of this service is to maintain the machine performance and the copy quality.
