2) General Precautions at Service - Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service (except for the service should be done with the power turned ON). - Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area. - When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places. - Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled. - The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity. Caution: Before using the wristband, unplug the power cable of the equipment and make sure that there are no charged objects which are not insulated in the vicinity. Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting service. Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, fuser unit, damp heater and areas around them. Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers, transfer belt, IH control circuit, developer, high-voltage transformer, exposure lamp control inverter, inverter for the LCD backlight and power supply unit. Especially, the board of these components should not be touched since the electric charge may remain in the capacitors, etc. on them even after the power is turned OFF. Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g. rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts pulleys, fans and laser beam exit of the laser optical unit). Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges underneath. When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam. Use designated jigs and tools. Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents. Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.
3) Important Service Parts for Safety - The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, IC-RAMs including lithium batteries, etc. are particularly important for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly. If these parts are short-circuited and their functions become ineffective, they may result in fatal accidents such as burnout. Do not allow a short-circuit or do not use the parts not recommended by Toshiba TEC Corporation. 4) Cautionary Labels - During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as Unplug the power cable during service, CAUTION. HOT, CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE, CAUTION. LASER BEAM, etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the equipment.
5) Disposal of the Equipment, Supplies, Packing Materials, Used Batteries and IC-RAMs - Regarding the recovery and disposal of the equipment, supplies, packing materials, used batteries and IC-RAMs including lithium batteries, follow the relevant local regulations or rules.
Caution: Dispose of used batteries and IC-RAMs including lithium batteries according to this manual. Attention: Se dbarrasser de batteries et IC-RAMs uss y compris les batteries en lithium selon ce manuel. Vorsicht: Entsorgung des gebrauchten Batterien und IC-RAMs (inclusive der Lithium-Batterie) nach diesem Handbuch.

(6) Transfer: Transfers the visible image on the photoconductive drum onto paper. Separation: Separates the paper from the drum together with the toner. (7) Fusing: Fuses the toner onto the paper by applying heat and pressure. (8) Brush cleaning: Cleans dirt and paper dust on the drum. (9) Blade cleaning: Forcibly removes the residual toner on the drum. (10)Discharging: Discharges any remaining negative charge on the drum.

(1) Photoconductive drum The photoconductive drum consists of two layers, an outer and an inner layer. The outer layer is a photoconductive layer made of an organic photoconductive carrier (OPC). The inner layer is an aluminum conductive base in a cylindrical form. The photoconductive carrier has the characteristic that its electrical resistance changes depending on the strength of the light exposed. Example: Strong light Resistance is decreased (works as a conductor.) Weak light Resistance is increased (works as an insulator.)
Photoconductive layer Aluminum conductive base Structure of the photoconductive drum (OPC)
Fig.3-2
[Formation of electrostatic latent image] In the processes of charging, scanning, printing and discharging described later, negative potential on the areas of the drum corresponding to black areas of the original is eliminated, while the areas of the drum corresponding to white areas remains the negative charge. As this image on the drum formed by the negative potential is invisible, it is called an electrostatic latent image.

(2) Charging Charging is a process of applying a charge uniformly to the photoconductive drum surface. The charger wire produces a negative corona discharge, which is controlled by the grid so that the drum surface is uniformly charged with negative potential. The surface potential on the drum is determined by the grid potential and controlled to a certain value by the grid control circuit.

(3) Scanning Scanning is a process of exposing the original to the light and converting the reflection into electrical signals. The light reflected from the original is imported to the charge coupled device (CCD) and this optical image information is converted into electrical signals (image signals), which are then sent to the image processing section.

(4) Writing Writing is a process of converting the image signals sent from the image processing section into optical signals and exposing the drum surface to the light. Semiconductor laser element converts image signals sent from the image processing section into optical signals (laser emission) and exposes the drum surface to the light to form an electrostatic latent image on it.

(5) Development Development is a process of making the electrostatic latent images visible to the eye (visible images). Developer material is supplied to the photoconductive drum surface by magnetic roller. The toner in the developer material adheres to the areas on the drum surface where the potential is lower than the developer bias which is applied to the magnetic roller (reverse development method).

Developer material The developer material is a mixture of toner and carrier. The toner is charged to negative polarity and the carrier to positive polarity, due to the friction with each other caused by mixing. Toner: Mainly consists of resin and carbon. Carrier: Consists of ferrite and resin coating on its surface to provide consistent frictional electrification.

Note: If the developer material is used for a long time (beyond its normal life span), the toner is caked onto the carrier. The carriers (charging) performance is lowered. Symptom: 1) Image density is decreased. 2) Toner scattering occurs. 3) Background fogging occurs. Solution: Replace new developer material.

Magnetic roller - Magnetic brush development The south and north poles are arranged inside the magnetic rollers, as shown in the following figure. The developer material forms a brush-like fluff which contacts the photoconductive drum surface This is caused by the lines of magnetic force between the south and north poles.

(6) Transfer/Separation Transfer: Transfer is a process of transferring the toner image (visible image) formed on the drum surface onto the paper. An electric charge applied by the high voltage power supply flows to the transfer belt from the power supply roller. Then it flows to the paper and photo conductor. The toner, which has been developed on the photo conductor, is transferred to this paper with an electric charge.
Drum
3-7
Separation: The paper is absorbed to the belt and separated from the drum by the electrostatic attraction acting between the belt (plus charge) and the polarization charge (minus charge) on the bottom surface of the paper.

(7) Fusing Fusing is a process of melting and fixing the toner on the paper. Method: Fuser roller The softening point of the toner (main ingredient: resin) is 90 to 100C. Paper (Heat) The toner is melted by the heat of the surface of the fuser roller. + (Pressure) The pressure roller is pressed against the fuser Pressure roller by the springs to increase adherence of the Fig.3-18 melted toner to the paper. Heat and pressure are applied to the paper when it passes between the fuser roller and pressure roller. || (Fusing) IH coil Fuser roller The toner is fixed on the paper.

(8) Cleaning Cleaning is a process of recovering the residual toner on the photoconductive drum. 1) The cleaning brush scrapes off the excessive toner and paper wastes. The flicker scrapes off the toner on the brush. Also, too prevent the cleaning blade from scratching the surface of the drum to make a circumferential streak, the varistor is attached between the brush and earth. 2) Cleaning blade scrapes off the residual toner on the drum.

(9) Discharging Discharging is a process of eliminating the (-) charge remaining on the photoconductive drum before the next charging process begins. If discharging does not occur, the following phenomenon will occur: The (-) charge remains on the photoconductive drum. Uneven charge is applied to the drum during the next copy. The next copy has a double image. (Preceding image appears.) Solution: Expose the entire surface of the photoconductive drum to the light by the discharge LED array. The photoconductive drum becomes electrically conductive. All the (-) charges remaining on the photoconductive drum are conducted to the ground. The preparation for the next copy is completed.

SCANNING SECTION
Function
In the scanning section of this equipment, the surface of an original is irradiated with a direct light and the reflected light is led through mirrors and lens to the CCD where the optical-to-electrical conversion is performed, converting the optical image data into an electrical (analog) signal. This analog signal is changed to a digital signal, which then performs various corrective processes necessary for image formation. After that, an arithmetic operation is performed on the digital signal, which is then transmitted to the data writing section.

Construction
The construction and purpose of the scanning system are described in this section. 1) Original glass This is a glass for placing original. The light from the exposure lamp (EXP) is irradiated to the original through this glass. The ADF original glass is used when original is read with the Automatic Document Feeder. Original is transported on the ADF original glass by the Automatic Document Feeder, and the transported original is read under the ADF original glass by the carriage. Do not use such solvents as alcohol when cleaning the surface of the ADF original glass, because it is coated so as not to be scratched by originals. 2) Carriage-1 The carriage-1 consists of the exposure lamp (EXP), lamp inverter board (INV-EXP), reflector, mirror-1, etc. It is driven by the scan motor (M1) and scans the original on the glass. Exposure lamp (EXP) This lamp is the light source to irradiate the original on the glass (one 29W Xenon lamp). Lamp inverter board (INV-EXP) This inverter controls lighting of the Xenon lamp. Reflector This is a reflecting plate to efficiently lead the light from the exposure lamp (EXP) to the surface of the original on the glass. Mirror-1 This mirror leads the light reflected from the original to the mirror-2 described later.

Mirror-1
Fig.6-2
3) Carriage-2 The carriage-2 consists of mirror-2, mirror-3, etc. and leads the reflected light from the mirror-1 through mirrors-2 and -3 to the lens. This carriage-2 is also driven by the scan motor (M1) as in the same manner of the carriage-1, at half the scanning speed of carriage-1 (the scanning distance is also half of carriage-1). 4) Lens unit The light reflected from the mirror-3 is led to the CCD placed at the focal point of the lens which is fixed at this position. 5) Automatic original detection sensor (S1-5) The size of the original placed on the glass is instantly detected using the automatic original detection sensors (S1-5) fixed on the base frame without moving the carriage-1.
6-2
6) CCD board (CCD) This is a board to convert the light led through the lens unit into the minute analog signal (optical-toelectrical conversion), and transfer it to the SLG board (SLG). 7) SLG board (SLG) This is a board to perform the image correction, such as the signal synthesis, signal amplification, A/ D conversion and shading correction.

Scanning an original on the original glass This motor drives the carriages-1 and -2 through the timing belt and carriage wire. First, the scan motor (M1) drives carriages-1 and -2 to their respective home positions. The home position is detected when carriage-1 passes the carriage home position sensor (S6). When the [START] key is pressed, both carriages start to move and scan the original on the glass. Scanning an original on the RADF Carriage-1 stays at the shading position during the shading correction, and at the scanning position during the scanning operation.

Input signals
Clock input Set the direction of motor rotation MOTCLK-1 MOTDIR-0 Input Input Motor is rotated by setting number of pulses. * Internal circuit of the motor driver works when the first pulse becomes ON and the last pulse becomes OFF. The direction of the motor rotation is determined by setting the level of signal. "L".....Clockwise direction (as seen from the output shaft) "H"....Counterclockwise direction (as seen from the output shaft) Note: When the MOTMD3-0 is "L", do not change the rotation direction within 6.25sec. before the first pulse of the MOTCLK-1 becomes ON and after the last pulse becomes OFF. Excitation drive is forcibly turned ON/OFF. "H"....Normal operation (Excited) "L".....Excitation drive is forcibly shut off (Not excited) Motor wire current value is set in the range of 0 to 3 (A)/phase by applying the analog voltage 0 to 5 (V). Set the excitation mode. Note: Do not change the setting within 5sec. after the first pulse of the MOTCLK-1 becomes ON and the last pulse becomes OFF. Reset for the whole system. Internal circuit of the driver is initialized by setting the motor to "L" level (pulse interval: 10sec. or more).

Control circuit of the exposure lamp consists of the following 3 blocks. 1) Lighting device for the Xenon lamp (Lamp inverter board) Turns the exposure lamp ON/OFF. 2) CCD sensor circuit This circuit works to the convert the reflected light amount from the original surface and the shading correction plate to the electrical signals. The reflected light amount from the shading correction plate is read to control the exposure amount. 3) Image processing circuit The output signals from the CCD are digitized and the image processing such as gamma correction and shading correction is applied to them.

Exposure lamp
External electrode type Xenon fluorescent lamp is used as an exposure lamp in this equipment. 1) Structure The fluorescer is applied to the inside surface of the lamp pipe (except for a part which serves as an opening) which is filled with the Xenon gas. A pair of the external electrodes covered by film with adhesive agent is attached around the pipe.

2) Behavior inside the lamp The electron inside the pipe is led to the electric field by applying voltage to the pair of the external electrodes, and the discharge is started. The electrons then flow and clash with the Xenon atoms inside the pipe to excite them and allow them to generate ultraviolet rays. This ultraviolet rays convert the fluorescer into visible light.

CCD Control
Opto-electronic conversion
A CCD (charge-coupled device) is used to produce an electrical signal corresponding to the reflected light amount from the original. The CCD is a one-chip opto-electronic conversion device, comprised of several thousand light-receiving elements arranged in a line; each one of them is a few microns square. This model is equipped with a CCD which has 7,500 light-receiving elements. Each element of the light-receiving section consists of the semiconductive layers P and N. When the light irradiates the element, the light energy produces a (-) charge in the layer P; the amount of the charge produced is proportional to the energy and irradiating time. The charges produced in the lightreceiving section are then sent to the transfer section where they are shifted by the transfer clock from left to right as shown in the figure below, and are finally output from the CCD. At this time, to increase the transfer speed of the CCD, image signals in the even-number and odd-number elements are separated and output in parallel via two channels.

6.5.2
Shading correction
Signal voltages read by the CCD have the following characteristics. 1) Light source has variation in its light distribution. 2) Since the light beam reflected from the original is converged using a lens, the light path is the shortest at the center of the CCD and the longest at ends. This causes difference in the amount of light reaching the CCD (i.e. the light amount is maximum at the CCD center, gradually decreases toward ends). 3) Each of the 7,500 elements varies in the opto-electronic conversion efficiency. These variations need to be corrected and this correction is referred to as shading correction. Based on the black and white data obtained in advance, a normalization process using the following formula is applied to the raw image data to correct lighting variance and element variation of the image data.

This circuit detects the size of original (standard sizes only) using the reflection type photosensors arranged on the base frame of the scanner unit.
6.6.1
The reflection type photosensors are placed on the base frame of the scanner unit as shown in the figure below. Each sensor consists of an infrared light emitting diode (LED) on the light emitting side, and a phototransistor on the light receiving side. When there is an original on the original glass, light beams from the LEDs are reflected by the original and led to the phototransistors. This means that the size of the original is detected by checking which phototransistors are turned on or are not.

Image of an original placed on the original table is scanned by the optical system. The CCD (Charge Coupled Device) reads the optical image signals and converts them into the electrical signals. The electrical signals are amplified and undergo analog-to-digital conversion, then are changed into digital signals. Shading correction (correction of variance in CCD elements and the light source) is performed and the digital signal is output as an image signal from the scanning section.

1) The image processing section on the SLG board (SLG) is controlled by the CPU on the SLG board (SLG). 2) The image processing section on the SLG board (SLG) realizes the following when functioning the equipment: - High quality image processing - Image memory editing - Editing processing - Gamma correction - Gradation processing - External output system interface
7.3.2
1) High quality image processing - Background processing function (Range correction) This function removes undesirable background so that the original can be reproduced appropriately. By using the background adjustment function while manually adjusting the image density, undesirable background of the original can be removed if any, and some necessary but disappeared background can be recovered. By using this function, it is possible to cut the background density down to zero when copying originals which have a certain level of background density, such as newspapers. <Example>

Filtering This function is enabled by low-pass filter processing and high-pass filter processing. Low-pass filter processing This processing removes image/electrical noise and decreases moire by performing averaging operation between the image signals of the targeted pixel and those of the neighboring pixels to enhance the reproducibility of original. <Example> Density of the targeted pixel position is X. Density of pixel positions at front and back of the targeted pixel are a and b respectively. X is converted to X through the low pass filtering. When the matrix is (3 x 1):
x' = a+b+x 3
The above averaging operation is performed for all the pixels to accomplish the high reproducibility of original. The following is the case that the low pass filtering is applied on the primary scanning pixel.

High-pass filter processing Character outline blurs when the original, such as text, with big difference in density among the pixels is optically scanned and output from the CCD. Characteristic of the lens and other factors cause this phenomenon. In this equipment, processing such as edge enhancement is applied between the targeted pixel and the neighboring pixels to eliminate this phenomenon and realize high reproducibility of original.

2) Image memory editing This function performs editing such as enlargement/reduction, mirror imaging, etc., by using a line memory. Pixel data for one line in the primary scanning direction is stored in the line memory and the memory is renewed at each line. Enlargement/Reduction Enlargement/Reduction is accomplished by using the line memory control function in the process of the image processing operation. <Example> Enlargement

Mirror imaging This is accomplished by reading and outputting data from its end.
3) Editing processing This function performs trimming and masking. Trimming Using rectangular area signals, the image signals inside the rectangular area are left and the other image signals are eliminated. Masking Using rectangular area signals, the image data inside the rectangular area are erased. Negative/positive reversing This function reverses the entire date from negative to positive or vice versa.
4) Gamma correction This function corrects the input/output characteristics of the scanner/printer and adjusts the image signals so that the input/output characteristics would match with the copy mode. 5) Gradation processing This function switches the type of gradation processing depending on the copy mode: A type which selects the printer characteristics giving the priority to resolution such as for text data, and another which selects the printer characteristics giving the priority to gradation reproducibility such as for photographic images. 6) External output system interface This function controls the output of the output interface.

When scanned images and print data are printed, the laser optical unit creates a latent image by converting the digital image signals into laser beams and radiating them onto the photoconductive drum. The image signals are converted into a light emission signal of the laser diode on the laser driving board (LDR1, LDR2), and are radiated on the drum through optical elements such as the cylinder lenses, polygonal mirror and f lens. This unit must not be disassembled in the field because it is finely adjusted and very sensitive to dust. The laser unit with 2 beams is used only for the e-STUDIO850, and the 1-beam type for the eSTUDIO520/600/720.

Structure
Laser optical unit
This unit consists of the laser diode, finite focus lens, aperture, half mirror (*1), galvanic mirror (GLV) (*1) and cylinder lens. * 1: Used for the e-STUDIO850 only Laser diode This laser diode features low drooping, small laser variation and a low threshold current. The aperture determines the shape of the laser beam at the laser emission position. The laser diode radiates the laser beams responding to the laser emission control (ON/OFF) signals from the laser drive board. Laser beams which have passed through the finite focus lens are focused on the drum surface. Laser precautions A laser diode is used for this equipment and radiates an invisible laser beam. Since it is not visible, be extremely careful when handling the laser optical unit components, performing operations or adjusting the laser beam. Also never perform the procedure with other than the specified manuals because you could be exposed to the laser radiation. The laser unit is completely sealed with a protective cover. As long as only the operations of specified manuals are performed, the laser beam is not leaked and you are in no danger of being exposed to laser radiation. The following cautionary label for the laser is attached to the left side of the front-inner cover.
Fig.8-4
Cautions: Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting service. When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam. During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as "Unplug the power cable during service", "CAUTION. HOT", "CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE", "CAUTION. LASER BEAM", etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the equipment.

This unit consists of the polygonal motor (M2), polygonal mirror and polygonal mirror cover. a. Polygonal motor This motor rotates the polygonal mirror at a high speed. The DC motor controls the rotation speed of the motor as follows. e-STUDIO520/600/720 During printing: Approx. 60236.22 rpm (600 dpi) Approx. 61597.53 rpm (FAX 15.4 x 16.0 dot/mm) Approx. 59287.62 rpm (FAX 16.0 x 15.4 dot/mm) e-STIDIO850 During printing: Approx. 36318.898 rpm (600 dpi) Approx. 37139.685 rpm (FAX 15.4 x 16.0 dot/mm) Approx. 35746.946 rpm (FAX 16.0 x 15.4 dot/mm) b. Polygonal mirror The e-STUDIO520/600/720 has a 1-beam type of laser unit. One laser beam emitted from the laser diode is reflected by this mirror. As the polygonal mirror is rotated by the polygonal motor (M2), the reflected laser beam moves in sync with the rotation. The direction of the movement is the primary scanning direction of the image. One scan is performed on 1 plane of the polygonal mirror. As the polygonal mirror has 8 planes, 8 scans are performed in 1 rotation. e-STUDIO850 has a 2-beam type of laser unit. Two laser beams emitted from the laser diode are reflected by this mirror. Two scans are performed on 1 plane of the polygonal mirror. As the polygonal mirror has 8 planes, 16 scans are performed in 1 rotation.

8.2.3
f lenses 1 and 2
These two lenses perform the following adjustment on the laser beams reflected by the polygonal mirror. a. Uniform-velocity scanning Since the polygonal mirror is rotating at a uniform velocity, the laser beam reflected from Wider the mirror scans over the drum surface at a uniform angular velocity; namely, the pitch between the dots on the drum is wider at both Narrower ends than at the center of the scanning range. The f lenses help to correct this difference, making all the dot-to-dot pitches equal on the Drum drum surface.
b. Face tilt connection The reflecting face of the polygonal mirror is tilted slightly to one side against the perfect vertical. Horizontal deviation of the laser beam which is caused by the tilt is corrected.

c. Sectional shape of laser beam The shape of the laser beam spotted on the drum is adjusted.
8.2.4
Laser beam which has started to be scanned from one of the reflected faces of the polygonal mirror is reflected by the H-sync detection mirror and goes into the PIN diode on the H-sync detection PC board (SNS). The primary scanning synchronizing signal is generated based on this reflected laser beam. For the e-STUDIO850, the rudder sensor is attached to the H-sync sensor to space out evenly (42.3 m), the intervals of the secondary scanning of the 1st and 2nd beams by its detection value.

This equipment uses an AlGaAs type semiconductive laser with 10 mW of optical output power rating. This laser emits a beam in a single transverse mode in approx. 785 nm wavelength. PIN diode for monitoring optical output in this laser controls the laser intensity. The relation between the forward current and optical output of a semiconductive laser is as shown below. Beam emission starts when the forward current exceeds a threshold current, and then the laser outputs a monitor current which is proportionate to the optical output. Since semiconductive lasers have an individual variability in their threshold current and monitor current, the optical output needs an adjustment to be maintained at a certain value. The optical output of a semiconductive laser decreases as the laser temperature rises. Therefore APC (Auto Power Control) needs to be performed to maintain a constant optical output.

Fig.8-8
A block diagram of the semiconductive laser control circuit is shown below. The semiconductive laser performs a monitor efficiency regulation (a process to control a monitor current for beam emission amount). The initial beam emission is adjusted to be approx. 2.5 mW (510 W on the drum surface) in the e-STUDIO520/600/720, and approx. 3.0 mW (300 W on the drum surface) in the e-STUDIO850. The voltage of the monitor output, which has been regulated by this adjustment, is then fed back to a laser power comparison circuit. In the laser power comparison circuit, this voltage fed back and a laser power voltage set for the control circuit are compared for every scanning. As the result of this, a laser driver circuit increases its forward current when the laser power is insufficient and decreases it when the laser power is excessive to maintain a constant optical output.

The polygonal motor is a DC motor rotated by a clock signal (PMCLK-1) output from the Laser-CPU. This motor is controlled under PLL (Phase Locked Loop) to realize an accurate and constant rotation. Its rotation status is converted to a status signal (PMOK-0) and then output to the Laser-CPU. PMOK-0 signal moves to a low level only when the rotation status of the motor is constant. The Laser-CPU detects the rotation status with this signal, and emits a laser beam only when the rotation status is constant.

This unit picks up a sheet of paper from the drawer, tandem LCF or bypass tray and transports it to the transfer position. The clutch controls the drive from the motor and drives each roller. Also, each sensor detects the transferring status of the sheet of paper. Fig. 9-1 shows the positioning of each roller and sensor from the first drawer to the registration roller. Fig. 9-2 shows the positioning of each roller and the sensor of the tandem LCF. Moreover, the composition of the paper feeding unit differs depending on the destination (machine version). The 4-drawer composition is for NAD, SAD and TWD (e-STUDIO600/720). The composition of the 2 drawers and tandem LCF is for other destinations.

Functions
1) Pickup roller These rollers draw out paper from the bypass tray, drawer or tandem LCF and send it to the feed roller. 2) Feed roller This roller is placed against the separation roller. It transports paper from the pickup roller to the transport roller. 3) Separation roller This roller is placed against the feed roller. When two or more sheets of paper are sent from the pickup roller, the load of the torque limiter of the separation roller is greater than the frictional force between the sheets of paper. As the result, the separation roller is stopped and the lower paper is not advanced any further. When only one sheet of paper is sent from the pickup roller, the separation roller rotates following the feed roller. 4) Transport roller This roller transports the paper sent from the feed roller to the intermediate transport roller. 5) Intermediate transport roller This roller transports the paper sent from the transport roller to the registration roller. 6) Registration roller The paper sent from the intermediate transport roller is pushed against the registration roller which aligns the leading edge of paper. Then the registration roller rotates to transport the paper to the transfer section. 7) Bypass feed sensor (S27) This sensor detects if paper is set in the bypass tray. If it is, bypass feeding always comes before drawer feeding. 8) Empty sensor (S31, S37, S43, S49) This is an emission type sensor and detects the availability of paper in the drawer by using an actuator. When there is no paper in the drawer, the actuator blocks the light path of the sensor, and the sensor determines that there is no paper. 9) Feed sensor (S34, S40, S46, S52), Transport sensor (S33, S39, S45, S51) Feed sensor (S34, 40, 46, 52) detects if the leading edge or trailing edge of paper passed the feed roller. Transport sensor (S33, 39, 45, 51) detects if the leading edge or trailing edge of paper passed the transport roller. They also detects jams like misfeeding. 10)Registration sensor (S18) This sensor detects that the leading edge of paper has reached the registration roller and the trailing edge of paper has passed the registration roller. 11)Drawer / tandem LCF tray-up sensor (S32, S36, S42, S48) This sensor detects the tray position when the trays of the drawer and tandem LCF go up. It detects the amount of sheets placed in the drawer according to the time between when the drawer bottom sensor (S30, 36, 42, 48) is turned OFF and the drawer tray-up sensor (S32 ,38, 44, 50) is turned ON.
9-4
12)Drawer bottom sensor (S30, S36, S42, S48) This sensor detects the tray bottom position of the drawer. 13)Tandem LCF tray bottom sensor (S71) It detects the lower limit position (home position) on the LCF tray. 14)Standby side mis-stacking sensor (S72) It detects if sheets of paper placed in the feeding side tray or standby side tray are not within the tray (sheets are not aligned correctly). 15)End fence home position sensor (S73) It detects the end fence home position. 16)Standby side empty sensor (S74) It detects the presence/absence of a sheet of paper on the standby side tray. 17)End fence stop position sensor (S75) The tandem LCF end fence motor (M42) drives the end fence. The end fence pushes a sheet of paper placed on the standby side tray, and moves it to the feeding side tray. The end fence stop position sensor (S75) detects the stopping position of the end fence so that the sheet is not pushed too much.

Operation
Operation of bypass pickup roller
Spring Pickup arm Lever
Shaft
When the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL3) is turned ON, the plunger is pulled and the lever is revolved and brought down. The pickup arm, which is linked with the lever, is also brought with the lever by its own weight. When the bypass pickup solenoid (SOL3) is turned OFF, the pickup arm is brought up by the spring force. The driving force transmitted through the bypass feed clutch (CLT4) is also transmitted to the bypass feed roller through the shaft and then to the bypass pickup roller through the timing belt. The roller is rotated by this driving force.

When the drawer is inserted, the protrusion at the rear side of the drawer pushes the lever to the direction of A. Then the pickup roller and roller holder are lowered by the spring force.
9.3.3
Paper separation
This model is equipped with a separation roller which works to prevent multiple paper feeding. The separation roller unit consists of the feed roller, separation roller, torque limiter, etc., as shown at right. The feed roller is rotated by the feed clutch in the direction of the white arrow at the same timing as the pickup roller rotation. The figure at right shows how duplicate feeding is prevented: Since the friction between two sheets is small, the lower sheet is not transported any further while the upper sheet is transported by the feed roller in the direction of the black arrow.
Feed roller
9-7
[Example] When only one sheet enters between the rollers: Since the transporting force of the feed roller is greater than the braking force of the separation roller, the separation roller follows the feed roller, making the sheet go forward to the registration roller. When two sheets enter between the rollers at the same time: Since the transporting force of the feed roller and the breaking force of the separation roller are greater than the frictional force between two sheets, the paper A is transported to the direction of the black arrow and the paper B is braked by the separation roller and is not transported any further.

General operation
From power ON to standby status When the equipment is turned ON, the tray-up motor-1 (M21) is activated and 1st drawer tray starts to rise. When the 1st drawer tray-up sensor (S32) is turned ON (H -> L), the tray-up motor1 (M21) is turned OFF and the tray is stopped. At this time, if the 1st drawer empty sensor (S31) is OFF (L), it is judged that there is no paper in the drawer. With the 1st drawer empty sensor (S31) being ON (H), there is paper in the drawer. The tray stops at the raised position regardless of availability of paper. Then the tray-up motor-1 (M21) starts to rotate in reverse and 2nd drawer starts to be lifted. 2nd drawer tray is stopped in the same manner as 1st drawer tray and the 1st drawer empty sensor (S31) detects if there is paper in the drawer. When the drawer is not completely inserted when the equipment is turned ON, the tray for that drawer tray is not raised. When the drawer is inserted completely, the drawer tray is raised and checks the availability of the paper. When either of the sensors at the transport path is ON (meaning there is paper on the transport path) when the equipment is turned ON, it is determined that a paper jam has occurred and no operation is enabled until the paper is removed. Standby status After the drawer tray is moved up and availability of paper is checked as described above, the equipment enters the standby state. In the standby mode, the drawer tray remains at raised position. When a drawer is inserted or removed in the standby state, the tray is raised again to check the availability of paper.

[C] Bypass feeding The bypass feed sensor (S27) detects the availability of paper. The bypass feed clutch (CLT4) is turned ON and the bypass pickup roller and bypass feed roller rotate. The bypass pickup solenoid (SOL3) is turned ON and the bypass pickup roller is lowered to start feeding. The leading edge of the paper turns ON the registration sensor (S18) and the paper is aligned with the registration roller. The bypass feed clutch (CLT4) is turned OFF and the bypass pickup roller and the bypass feed roller are stopped, and then the bypass pickup roller is raised. The registration motor (M16) is turned ON and paper is transported to the transfer unit.
[D] Drawer feeding The feed clutch (CLT6, 8) is turned ON and the pickup roller and feed roller rotate to start feeding.
9 - 10
The leading edge of paper turns ON the transport sensor (S33, 39, 45, 51), the feed clutch (CLT6, 8) is turned OFF and the transport clutch (CLT5, 7) is turned ON. The leading edge of paper turns ON the registration sensor (S18) and paper is aligned with the registration roller. The transport clutch (CLT5, 7) is turned OFF and the transport roller is stopped. The registration motor (M16) and transport clutch (CLT5, 7) are turned ON and paper is transported to the transfer unit.

After power is ON to ready When the equipment is turned ON, the pre-running operation at warming up is started. The tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) starts to rotate forward and raises the feeding side tray. When the tray turns ON the tandem LCF tray-up sensor (S44), the tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) is turned OFF, and then the tray is stopped. At this time, when the tandem LCF empty sensor (S43) is ON, it is judged that there is paper in the feeding side tray. On the other hand, the absence of paper in the feeding side tray is assumed when the tandem LCF empty sensor (S43) is OFF, and the standby side empty sensor (S74) is subsequently checked. When the standby side empty sensor (S74) is OFF, that means there is no paper in the standby side tray, and it is therefore assumed that there is no paper in the tandem LCF. When the standby side empty sensor (S74) is ON, the paper in the standby side tray is moved to the feeding side tray. The tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) is rotated in reverse and lowers the feeding side tray. The lowered tray turns ON the tandem LCF bottom sensor (S71), and the tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) is turned OFF to stop the tray. The tandem LCF end fence solenoid (SOL8) and tandem LCF pickup solenoid (SOL7) are then turned ON. The tandem LCF end fence motor (M42) rotates forward and the paper in the standby side tray is moved onto the tray of the feeding side. The tandem LCF end fence motor (M42) is stopped for a second when the end fence stop position sensor (S75) is turned ON, and the motor (M42) immediately starts to rotate in reverse to return the end fence to the position where the end fence home position sensor (S73) is turned ON. When the returning operation is started, the tandem LCF end fence solenoid (SOL8) and tandem LCF pickup solenoid (SOL7) are turned OFF, and the tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) is rotated forward to raise the feeding side tray. The tandem LCF tray-up motor (M41) is turned OFF when the tray being raised turns ON the tandem LCF tray-up sensor (S44) and stops the tray. At this time, the presence of paper is judged when the tandem LCF empty sensor (S43) is ON. If the power is turned ON when the drawer has been removed, the tray raising movement is not operated. The tray is raised as soon as the drawer is installed, and it detects if there is paper in the drawer. If either of the tandem LCF feed sensors (S46) is ON (paper remains on the transport path) when the power is turned ON, that means a paper jam has occurred and the operation is disabled until the paper is removed. Ready status Trays detect the paper as described in [A], and the equipment goes into the ready status. The tray goes down automatically when the drawer is removed. It is raised as soon as the drawer is reinstalled and checks if there is paper in the drawer.

[C] From the start to the end of printing (1) (2) The feed motor (M20) starts driving when the [START] button is pressed. When the equipment judges that the tandem LCF is ready for feeding paper, it turns ON the tandem LCF feed clutch (CLT10). This clutch drives the pickup roller and feed roller to feed paper from the tray.
9 - 12
The tandem LCF transport clutch (CLT9) is turned ON to drive the transport roller when the specified period of time has passed from the start of feeding. When the leading edge of the paper turns the tandem LCF feed sensor (S46) ON, the tandem LCF feed clutch (CLT10) is turned OFF and feeding from the tandem LCF is completed. The paper is transported by the transport roller. If the trailing edge of the sheet previously transported still remains at the 2nd drawer transport sensor (S39) when the leading edge of the paper reaches the tandem LCF feed sensor (S46), the tandem LCF transport clutch (CLT9) is turned OFF to stop the transport of the paper. When the trailing edge of the paper turns the tandem LCF feed sensor (S46) OFF, the tandem LCF then becomes ready for feeding the next sheet of paper, and the procedures (2) to (5) are repeated for the number of the printout. When printing is completed, the feed motor (M20) is turned OFF.
(6)
(7)
[D] Jam detection (1) A paper jam occurs in the following cases. Tandem LCF feed sensor (S46) is not turned ON within a specified period of time after the feeding is started. The leading edge of the paper does not pass the tandem LCF feed sensor (S46) in the transport path within a specified period of time. Open the right lower cover, remove all the paper remaining on the transport path and close the cover to clear the paper jam. If either of the tandem LCF transport sensor (S45) is still ON when the right lower cover is closed, it is determined that there is still paper on the transport path and the paper jam status is not cleared. When a paper jam occurs in the tandem LCF during continuous copying, the sheet that was fed before the jam is copied normally. Call for Service When the tandem LCF tray-up sensor (S44) is not turned ON even though the specified period of time has passed since the tray started to be raised, it is assumed that the drawer is not operational and the corresponding message is displayed on the control panel. When the tandem LCF bottom sensor (S42) is not turned ON even though the specified period of time has passed since the tray started to be lowered, it is assumed that the drawer is not operational and the corresponding message is displayed on the control panel. When the end fence stop position sensor (S75) is not turned ON even though the specified period of time has passed since the end fence started to move the paper in the standby side tray, it is assumed that the tandem LCF is not operational and the corresponding message is displayed on the control panel. When the end fence home position sensor (S73) is not turned ON even though the specified period of time has passed since the end fence started to move the paper in the standby side, it is assumed that the tandem LCF is not operational and the corresponding message is displayed on the control panel.

The transport motor is a stepping motor driven by the control signal output from the PFC CPU on the LGC board and rotates the intermediate transport roller. The transport motor is driven by the pulse signal (MTMA-0, MTMB-0, MTMAB-0, MTMBB-0) output from the motor driver. These pulse signals are formed based on the reference clock signal (MTMCK-0), and output only when the enable signal (MTMEN-0) is L level. Also, the rotation speed of the motor can be switched by changing the output timing of each pulse signal.

The registration motor is a stepping motor driven by the control signal output from the main CPU on the LGC board and rotates the registration roller. The main CPU outputs each phase signal (RGTA-0, RGTB-0, RGTC-0, RGTD-0) to the motor driver. The motor driver converts this phase signal into a +24 V pulse signal (RGTA-0A, RGTB-0A, RGTC-0A, RGTD-0A) and outputs it to the motor. Also, the rotation speed of the motor can be switched by changing the output timing of each pulse signal.

10.2 Functions
(1) Main charger The main charger is configured by stretching a charger wire between two insulation blocks provided at both ends of the U-shaped metal rod. When a high voltage is applied to the charger wire, the air around the wire is ionized (electrostatically charged), and this ionized air is attracted onto the drum's surface. This phenomenon is referred to as the "corona discharge". In the dark, the surface of the drum is negatively (-) charged by the corona discharge of the main charger. Charger wire cleaner It removes stains on the charger wire regularly to avoid poor charging and drum irregularities. The charger wire cleaner pad is pushed against the charger wire and moved to and fro on the wire to clean it. The charger wire cleaner drive motor (M12) moves the charger wire cleaner to and fro. It cleans the wire when the power is turned ON, the cover interlock switch (SW8) is turned ON or 2000 or more continuous copies have been made since the previous cleaning. Discharge LED (ERS) Discharging is a process of reducing or eliminating the electrostatic charges on the drum. The discharge LED have two effects: a cleaning effect and a pre-exposure one. The cleaning effect neutralizes and eliminates the residual charges on the drum surface by lowering the electrical resistance of the photosensitive surface as a result of exposing it to the light, and the pre-exposure effect keeps a fixed drum surface potential before the charging process. There is an array of 14 LEDs with a 660 nm wavelength. Ozone filter Ozone produced by corona discharge of the main charger is exhausted through this filter. The catalyzer of the ozone filter degrades the ozone. Drum surface potential sensor (S13) It detects the surface potential of the photoconductive drum and performs control to keep the difference between the surface potential and the development bias constant. High-voltage transformer This board creates the output control voltage of the main charger, charge grid, power supply roller and developer bias. Temperature/Humidity sensor (S7) This sensor (S7) and drum thermistor (THM5) detect the temperature and humidity inside of the equipment since the drum, developer material and paper are affected by environmental elements such as temperature or humidity. Thus the main charger grid, transfer belt, developer bias, laser output and auto-toner output are controlled to be at their optimum states. The temperature/humidity sensor (S7) is installed in the control panel.

Description of operation
The function and operation of each signal are as follows. On-off signal (HVTM-0A, HVDAC-0A, HVDDC-0A, HVTT-0A, HVTBB-0A): These signals are the on-off signals of each bias output to the main charger (main charger wire and grid), developer bias (AC/DC), transfer belt power supply roller, and transfer belt cleaning brush. When these signals move to a low level, the generating circuit of each bias on the high-voltage transformer becomes on status, thus the current or voltage is output. Reference voltage (Vctr) (HVMVR-1A, HVDVR-1A, HVTVR-1A): These analog voltages are the reference for each output of the main charger grid, developer bias (DC) and transfer belt power supply roller. Each output of the high-voltage transformer can be changed linearly by changing these reference voltages. The output procedure of the reference voltages is shown below. The adjusted values of the main charger bias, developer bias and transfer bias in the NVRAM are output to the ASIC. The data of the reference voltage is output from the ASIC to the D/A converter. Digital-to-analog conversion at the D/A converter The reference voltage (Vctr) of each bias is output to the high-voltage transformer. The high-voltage transformer generates the output current or output voltage proportionate to the reference voltage. * * The reference voltage (Vctr) can be adjusted in the Adjustment Mode (05). The output of the transfer belt cleaning brush was adjusted at a constant value when the high-voltage transformer was shipped from the factory, and this adjusted value has been fixed since then.
10
Developer AC bias generating clock (HVTAC-0A): This clock signal is a reference for the AC component of the developer bias. Leak detection signal (HVTER-0): This signal detects the abnormality (leakage) of the high-voltage transformer output. When the abnormality is detected, the signal moves to a low level.

Description of operation
1) Correction control procedure of drum surface potential - The setting value of the main charger bias voltage when the surface potential stored in the NVRAM is measured is output to the Main-CPU. - The reference voltage data (digital data) is output from the Main-CPU to the D/A converter through the ASIC. - The reference voltage data is converted at the D/A converter into the reference voltage (Vctr) (analog data), and the data is then output to the high-voltage transformer. - The high-voltage transformer outputs the main charger bias voltage based on the reference voltage, and thus the drum is charged. - The drum surface potential is measured by the drum surface potential sensor, and the measured value (DRV0-1A) is then fed back to the Main-CPU. - The current state of the drum (deterioration) is assumed based on the measurement result of the drum surface potential, and then the result is sent to the image quality control circuit. - The image quality control changes the image formation condition to make the image density and the line width appropriate. At this time, the image quality control determines the main charger bias output (effective value). - The determined effective value of the main charger bias is stored in the NVRAM. 2) Timing of drum surface potential measurement The drum surface potential is measured with the performance of the image quality control. The image quality control is performed at the timing as follows. - When the power is turned ON first thing in the morning or during warming-up after a specified period of time has passed since the last operation - When a print job is completed after a specified number of sheets have been printed out - When a print job is resumed after a toner cartridge empty status has been released * The drum surface potential measurement and whether or not the result reflects to the image quality control can be set in the Setting Mode (08).

11.2 Functions
(1) Drum It is a cylindrical aluminum base on which an organic photosensitive material (photoconductor) is thinly applied. A photoconductor becomes insulative (high electric resistance) at dark places (out of the light), while it becomes conductive (low electric resistance) under the light, so it is called a photoconductor. Drum cleaning blade It is made of polyurethane rubber. It scrapes off the residual toner on the drum surface by being pressed against the drum with a certain pressure by the weight. You can separate the blade from the drum by turning the cam manually in order to release the pressure. Drum recovery blade It catches the toner scraped off by the drum cleaning blade. Recovered toner transport auger It corrects and transfers the toner scraped off by the drum cleaning blade and caught by the drum recovery blade. The toner is transferred to the recycle unit to be reused. Drum separation finger It separates paper not separated from the drum on the transfer belt. Image quality sensor (S14) It detects the adhered toner amount from the reflective rate for the test pattern formed on the drum in order to maintain a proper image density and line width. Drum thermistor (THM5) Since the charging amount changes depending on the temperature of the drum surface, the drum thermistor detects the temperature of the drum surface. Drum cleaning brush It eliminates the paper dust and extraneous substances adhering to the drum surface after the paper has been separated. It also decreases the friction of the drum cleaning blade to lengthen its life span, which improves the image reliability. Drum motor (M11) It drives the drum through the timing belt, pulleys and couplings.

This equipment performs image quality control with the image quality sensor. Image quality control is for altering the image formation condition to minimize the changing of the image density and line width caused by the setting environment for the equipment and the life of consumables. The image quality sensor detects the density of the test pattern developed on the drum, and the image formation condition is changed depending on the result.
11.4.2
Construction
The construction of the control circuit is as follows. Image quality sensor: This sensor emits the light corresponding to the voltage of the light source amount signal output from the control section onto the drum, and outputs the voltage corresponding to the reflected light amount of the drum and the test pattern (toner image) on the drum. Control section (LGC board): This section performs image quality control mainly with the main CPU, which outputs the light source amount signal (CTDVR-1A) of the image quality sensor by a D/A converter, and converts the reflected light amount signal (CTDS-1) into a digital signal by mean of the A/D converter embedded in the main CPU and reads it, and then sets the image formation condition based on the read result. Image formation process system: This system consists of the process of charging, laser exposing and developing. Each process is operated based on the image formation condition set by the control section. When image quality control is performed, the laser unit exposes the test pattern on the drum.

12.2 Functions
(1) Toner cartridge The toner cartridge is filled with the toner and the toner is supplied to the developer unit. In this equipment, the toner cartridge can be replaced without stopping any operation when the toner cartridge becomes empty during printing. The remaining amount of the toner can be detected in the following 3 steps. Detecting that the toner in the toner cartridge has decreased The drive count of the new toner transport motor (M6) theoretically can be a detection of decreased toner amount in the toner cartridge. Detecting that the toner cartridge is empty The toner cartridge empty sensor (S10) detects that the toner cartridge has become empty. This sensor is installed on the toner cartridge holder, and detects the presence of the toner in the cartridge by the contact of the toner to the sensor surface. Even after the cartridge is detected as empty, a small amount of toner still remains in the subhopper. This remaining toner enables to print approx. 2,000 sheets of A4/LT paper so that the toner cartridge can be replaced during this printing, without stopping the printing operation. When the front cover (upper) is opened for the cartridge replacement during printing, the recycle toner transport motor (M8) continues running but the new toner supply motor (M5) is stopped. While the cover is opened, the equipment exits only a number of sheets specified in the code 08-1520. When the number of sheets being exited exceeds this specified number, the printing is interrupted. When the cover is closed, the printing is resumed. Detecting lowered toner density in the developer unit (printing is disabled) The auto-toner sensor (S12) detects that the toner in the developer unit has been consumed by detecting the toner density in the unit.
Note: Calculation of the pixel counter is not used for the above detection of the amount of toner remaining.

Toner cartridge holder The toner cartridge holder includes a coupling to hold the toner cartridge, the new toner supply motor (M5) to rotate the cartridge, the toner cartridge detection switch (SW2) to detect the rotation of the cartridge, and the toner cartridge empty sensor (S10) to detect the empty status of the cartridge. New toner supply motor (M5) The drive of the new toner supply motor (M5) is transmitted to the toner cartridge holder through the pulley, timing belt and gear, and thus the coupling of the holder is rotated. The cartridge is rotated along with the rotation of the coupling to supply the toner. Toner cartridge detection switch (SW2) This switch detects the rotation of the toner cartridge. Toner cartridge empty sensor (S10) This sensor is a piezoelectric type sensor which detects the empty status of the cartridge. When the toner is adhered on the surface of this sensor, a correct detection cannot be performed. Therefore a blade to scrape off the toner adhered on the sensor surface is equipped on the toner cartridge holder. This blade is rotated by the drive of the new toner supply motor (M5). Sub-hopper The sub-hopper consists of the paddle to mix the toner transported from the cartridge, and the auger to transport the toner to the developer unit.

Toner recycling unit A toner recycling system is adopted in this equipment. The toner, which has been recovered from the drum surface by the drum cleaner, is transported to the developer unit by the toner recycling unit, and thus the transported toner is recycled. This unit consists of the recycle toner hopper to collect and mix the recycle toner, and the pipe to transport the recycle toner from the drum cleaner to the recycle toner hopper.

Developer unit The developer unit of the e-STUDIO850 has a different structure (driving gear) from that of eSTUDIO520/600/720 due to its copy speed. The developer unit of the e-STUDIO520/600/720 has a protrusion on its rear side to prevent a wrong installation. Developer material The developer material consists of the carrier and toner. The carrier is a conductive ferrite whose size is 30-100 m. The toner consists of 5-20 m size resin particles. The developer material requires a periodic maintenance since it deteriorates in a long-term use and print images may be influenced by this deterioration. Mixer The carrier and toner generate a friction when the developer material is mixed. The carrier is positively charged while the toner is negatively charged, and thus the toner is adhered on the drum by static electricity caused by this charging. Paddle The paddle supplies the developer material mixed by the mixer to the transport sleeve. Also the paddle returns the developer material separated from the lower developer sleeve to the mixer section. Transport sleeve / Developer sleeve (Magnetic roller) These sleeves are aluminum rollers which include a magnet in each. This magnetic force attracts the developer material to form a magnetic brush. This magnet is fixed, therefore only the sleeves are rotated. By this rotation, the developer material is transported from the transport sleeve to the developer sleeve, and the magnetic brush formed by the developer sleeve sweeps over the drum surface, thus the development is performed. Doctor blade The doctor blade controls the amount of the developer material transported from the transport sleeve so that the magnetic brush of the developer material can contact with the drum surface properly. Auto-toner sensor (S12) The ratio of the carrier and toner (= toner density) in the developer material should constantly be fixed at a certain level for a correct image printing. The auto-toner sensor (S12) detects the inclusion ratio of the toner in the developer material with a magnetic bridge circuit. When the toner becomes insufficient, the new toner supply motor (M6) and the hopper motor (M7) are driven to supply the toner from the toner cartridge and the recycle toner hopper. Scattered toner recovery roller This roller catches the toner scattered from the developer sleeve and puts the caught toner into the developer unit, so that the scattered toner will not fall out of the developer unit.

Developer unit drive section The developer unit is driven by the developer unit motor (M10).

The developer unit motor is rotated. 3) Hall elements A, B and C detect the rotation position of the motor (rotor). 4) The excitation phase switching section switches the excitation of each phase. (The motor keeps rotating by repeating from 2) to 4).) 5) An FG (Frequency Generator) pulse is generated by the rotation of the motor. 6) The FG pulse and the reference frequency from the ASIC are compared in terms of the phase and speed, and the difference is added to the excitation phase switching section. Fluctuations in the power supply voltage are also added to the value. (Signal generation) 7) According to the result of step 6), the switching timing of the excitation phase switching section is changed, namely, the FG pulse and the reference clock are controlled to be equal. The developer unit motor rotates at a constant speed. (Lock range) 8) When the DVMBK signal from the ASIC moves to a low level, the developer unit motor is braked. When the DEVON signal moves to a high level, the motor is stopped.

Control signal of developer unit motor DEVON signal: This signal switches the on/off of the developer unit motor. When this signal moves to a low level, the motor is rotated, and when this moves to a high level, the motor is stopped. DEVCK signal: This signal is a reference clock which keeps the developer unit motor rotation at a constant speed. When the cyclic change of the FG pulse period against this reference signal is within 6.25%, this is defined as a lock range (= the normal rotation of the motor). When the cyclic change is within this range, the LED on the driving PC board of this motor is lit. DVMBK signal: This signal applies a brake on the developer unit motor. When this signal moves to a low level, a brake is applied to the rotation of the motor.

1) Functions of the auto-toner sensor - Initializing function: When the copier is set up or when the developer material is replaced The automatic adjustment is made so that the output of the auto-toner sensor (input value of the main-CPU) will be 2.45 to 2.85V for the toner density of new developer material. Toner density stabilizing function: During the printing operation Through the following phases, the toner density is kept constant. The toner is consumed. The toner density is lowered. The output change of the auto-toner sensor caused by humidity is detected. The new toner transport motor, new toner supply motor and hopper motor are driven. (The new toner supply motor and the hopper motor are driven only when the new toner is left in the toner cartridge and also the front cover (upper) is closed.) The toner is supplied to the developer unit from the sub-hopper (toner cartridge) and the recycle toner hopper. Detection and release of empty status of the developer unit The empty status of the developer unit is detected in the following procedure. The new toner supply motor and the new toner transport motor are driven. The output value of the auto-toner sensor remains the same. The toner density is not changed. The developer unit is judged as empty. The empty status of the developer unit is released in the following procedure. The new toner supply motor and the new toner transport motor are driven. The new toner is supplied to the developer unit from the toner cartridge. The output value of the auto-toner sensor is changed. The toner density returns to its normal value. The empty status of the developer unit is released.

13.2 Functions
(1) Transfer belt unit The transfer belt unit is a main unit of the transfer section. This unit is divided into 2 parts; the belt support/power supply section which supports and rotates the belt and supplies the power to the belt, and the cleaning mechanism section which scrapes off the toner adhered on the belt surface. The transfer belt motor (M14) drives the transfer belt unit. The drive from the transfer belt motor (M14) is transmitted to the drive gear and drive roller through the timing belt and relay gears. The drive is transmitted to the transfer/transport unit with a gear having a planetary joint. (2) Transfer belt support/power supply section The transfer belt is supported by 3 rollers; transfer belt drive roller, follower roller and power supply roller. A voltage, whose polarity is reverse to that of the toner on the photoconductive drum, is applied on the power supply roller. The current flowing to the transfer belt is controlled at a constant current of 70 A (85 A: e-STUDIO850). (The voltage is normally between +2 kV and +5 kV, while the applied voltage changes due to this constant-current control.) A voltage of +510 V is applied on the follower roller by a varistor. A high-voltage probe is required for this measurement. Do not use a digital voltmeter for your safety. Transfer belt The transfer belt is a high-precision flat rubber belt with coating, holding electrical resistance, which electrostatically attracts the paper (toner). Transfer belt cleaning mechanism The transfer belt cleaning mechanism section scrapes off the residual toner or paper dusts on the transfer belt surface with the transfer belt cleaning blade and transfer belt cleaning brush, and also transports the used toner with the recovery auger. Transfer belt cleaning blade The cleaning blade removes paper dusts and foreign objects left on the transfer belt surface after the separation of the paper. Transfer belt cleaning brush The cleaning brush is a conductive part to clean the toner electrostatically, and the voltage whose polarity is reverse to that of toner is applied on it. The current flowing to the cleaning brush is controlled at a constant current of 5 A. (The voltage is normally between +100V and +500V, while the applied voltage changes due to this constant-current control.) A high-voltage probe is required for this measurement. Do not use a digital voltmeter for your safety. Recovery auger The recovery auger transports the residual toner scraped off with the transfer belt cleaning blade and transfer belt cleaning brush to the used toner transport auger section. Transport guide The transport guide leads the electrostatically attracted paper to the fuser unit. The guide is made of a material which prevents a frictional charge caused by the paper.

Transfer/transport unit lock/unlock mechanism The transfer/transport unit lock/release mechanism locks the unit in the equipment, and unlocks it to draw the unit out to the front side when the paper jam is being cleared. The mechanism also separates the transfer belt unit from the drum when the transfer/transport unit is drawn out. When the unit is being drawn out, the mechanism can prevent the erroneous operation of the handle. When the handle is turned clockwise (in a horizontal position), the unit can be drawn out. Insert the transfer/transport unit into the equipment and turn the handle counterclockwise (in a vertical position), so that the unit can be locked in. If the unit is not inserted completely, the handle cannot be turned from the horizontal position.
(10) Transfer belt unit contact/release mechanism When printing is completed or a paper jam has occurred, the mechanism releases the transfer belt unit from the photoconductive drum. When printing is started, the mechanism contacts the unit with the photoconductive drum. The cam is rotated by the drive of the transfer belt cam motor (M15). Along with this rotation, the lever on the rear side of the transfer/transport unit moves up and down, and thus the transfer belt unit and the drum are contacted or released. The phase of the cam is controlled by the transfer belt release detection sensor (S15) and the transfer belt contact detection sensor (S16). (11) Drum damp heater (DH3) (condensation prevention) The drum damp heater (DH3) is installed under the transfer belt. The power is supplied to this heater when the main switch (SW6) is turned OFF. (12) Horizontal transport section The paper reversed for duplex printing is transported to the horizontal transport section. At this section, the paper is transported to the intermediate transport roller. This section is driven by the fuser motor (M3) and controlled by the horizontal transport section driving clutches-1 (CLT1), -2 (CLT2) and -3 (CLT3), and this drive is transmitted to the transport roller. The horizontal transport sensors-1 (S19), -2 (S20) and -3 (S21) detect the paper transport.

14.2 Operation
At the fuser unit, the toner is fused on the paper which has been separated and transported from the photoconductive drum by having heat and pressure applied to it. The pressure and fuser rollers are rotated by the driving of the fuser motor (M3). The fuser roller has an IH coil (IH-COIL) inside, which does not rotate itself. The fuser and pressure rollers are always pressured by a spring force. After being fused, the paper is separated smoothly from the fuser roller by the separation fingers. The thermistors (THM1, 2 and 3) detect the fuser roller temperature to control it, and when the temperature becomes abnormally high, which is detected by thermostats (THMO1 and 2), the power supply to the IH coil (IH-COIL) is cut off.
14 - 2
14.3 Functions
(1) IH coil (IH-COIL) (IH: Induction heating) The IH coil is inside the fuser roller and applies the induction heat to the fuser roller. This IH coil (IH-COIL) is divided into two parts, the center IH coil heating the center of the fuser roller and the side IH coil heating both ends of the fuser roller. Those parts become ON/OFF separately in order to maintain the fuser roller at a certain temperature without wasting excessive electric power. Fuser roller The fuser roller is made of iron and induction-heated by an IH coil (IH-COIL). It is pressed by the pressure roller, which is mentioned below, and the toner is fused on the paper while the paper is passing between these two rollers with the toner image on the paper facing the fuser roller. So, the toner is made to soak into the fibers of the paper by being melted with the heat of the fuser roller and having heat conductivity improved due to pressure from the pressure roller. The surface of the fuser roller is coated with fluoroplastic to prevent the toner adhering to it (this is called "offset") and help it become separated from the roller. Pressure roller The pressure roller is made of rubber (PFA tube roller) to make it easier to press against the fuser roller and its pressure is always derived from a spring force. Separation fingers The separation fingers are for removing paper that has stuck to the fuser and pressure rollers. Cleaning web The cleaning web is attached touching the fuser roller by means of the web pushing roller to remove any toner or paper dust that has stuck to the fuser roller during the fusing process. It is rolled up by the web motor (M4) with its clean surface always touching the fuser roller. It also contains silicone oil for coating the surface of the fuser roller, which makes it easier to clean up any toner or paper dust. The cleaning web rolled around the roller has been made thinner and lengthened. This has increased the web rolling up speed and improved the cleaning performance. The cleaning web's cleaning performance is the same as that of the cleaning roller, so this equipment does not have a cleaning roller. (6) Fuser exit roller The fuser exit roller transports the paper separated from the fuser and pressure rollers with the separation fingers through the fuser unit. Fuser transport sensor (S9) This sensor is for detecting that the trailing edge of the paper has reached the fuser unit exit sensor and also for the detecting of paper jams at the fuser unit exit section. Fuser roller center thermistor (THM2) and Fuser roller rear thermistor (THM3) These thermistors (THM2 and 3) detect the temperature of the fuser roller to maintain it within a certain range, which is higher than the lower limit which would cause poor fusing and lower than the upper limit which would cause a high temperature offset. When the temperature of the fuser roller is lower than the preset temperature, it is turned ON to supply power to the IH coil (IHCOIL), and when it is higher than the preset temperature, it is turned OFF to cut the supply. It also detects the slight difference of the temperatures at the center and rear end of the fuser roller to control the ON/OFF of the center and side IH coil to keep the fuser roller at a certain temperature.

Fuser roller front thermistor (THM1) This thermistor cannot be used for the temperature control of the fuser roller. It detects a temperature abnormality at the side area of the fuser roller where the paper does not pass through.
(10) Fuser roller center thermostat (THMO1) and Fuser roller side thermostat (THMO2) These thermostats cut off the power supply to the IH coil (IH-COIL) when the fuser roller becomes abnormally hot as the result of a problem such as a thermistors (THM1, 2 and 3) malfunction. The thermostats (THMO1 and 2) of this equipment are used to prevent abnormal operation, and when any abnormality is detected, they must be replaced altogether with the other damaged parts of the fuser unit.

The magnetic field is generated by applying a high frequency current to the IH coil inside the fuser roller, which then produces the eddy current in it. When the eddy current flows, the Joule heat is generated by the resistance element of the fuser roller, which is then heated. In the IH coil method, the thermal efficiency is higher than the lamp method because the fuser roller is directly heated. IH coil is divided into two parts to decrease the temperature difference between the center and both ends of the fuser roller. Image of current flowing from A to B

To maintain the fuser roller at a constant temperature, the two fuser roller thermistors (front and rear) detect the fuser roller temperature and control the on/off of the IH coil. The abnormal temperature of the IH coil is detected by the three fuser roller thermistors (front, center and rear), while that of the pressure roller is detected by the pressure roller thermistor. 1) Relation between the thermistor output voltage and surface temperature of the fuser roller

3) Temperature control for the both ends of the fuser roller During a continuous printing, the temperature of the both ends of the fuser roller (areas where the paper does not pass on) tends to be higher than that of the other areas (where the paper passes on). For this reason, the temperature of the both ends of the fuser roller is detected by the fuser roller front thermistor. If this thermistor has detected an abnormal temperature (270C or above), the IH coil is preferentially turned off regardless of the temperature of the areas where the paper passes on. 4) Temperature control at Energy Saving Mode This equipment has the following two types of temperature control for saving energy and returns to ready status to perform printing in each mode upon printing request. The period of time from the printing request to this mode can be set in "Setting Mode (08)" or by an administrator. Administrator setting procedure: [USER FUNCTIONS] button [ADMIN] (input of administrator's password) [GENERAL] [ENERGY SAVER] Auto Power Save Mode (Setting Mode (08-205)): When the printing is not performed in a specified period of time (default setting: 15 min.) after the previous printing is completed, the equipment enters to Auto Power Save Mode to turn OFF the IH coil. Auto Shut Off Mode (Setting Mode (08-206)): When the printing is not performed in a specified period of time (default setting: 90 min). * after the equipment entered to Auto Power Save Mode, the equipment then enters to Auto Shut Off Mode to turn OFF the IH coil.

5) Fuser unit error status counter control - To enhance the safety of the fusing section unit, main-CPU provides the following protection: When the third [C411] error has occurred after two consecutive [C411] errors, the IH coil is not turned ON and error [C412] is displayed immediately even if an operator turns OFF the power and back ON. However, if the equipment goes into a ready state normally with the fuser unit error status counter "1" or below, the counter is cleared to "0". If the error codes [C411] to [C490] are displayed and still not cleared even though the thermistor, thermostat and IH coil have been repaired (and the power ON/OFF does not clear the error), check the Setting Mode (08-400) to set the fuser unit error status counter to "0". Remark: The fuser unit error status counter (Setting Mode (08-400)) never has values other than 0 to 29. If the IH coil does not turn ON and the service call [C411] or [C412] is displayed immediately after the power is ON, ensure the fuser unit error status counter is "2" or over. If it is "2" or over, be sure to check the thermistor, thermostat and IH coil. Reset the counter to "0" after repairing them, then turn ON the power. If the fuser unit error status counter is "30" or over (e.g., 31), the data in NVRAM or NVRAM itself may possibly have been ruined due to causes such as leakage from the chargers. Check the bias, high-voltage transformers and charge wires to see if any of them is defective, and also look through all the data in the NVRAM. When the thermistors detect overheating, the main-CPU decides the error code and counter value of the fuser unit error status. After turning OFF each output (the IH coil, exposure lamp, control panel display, motors and so on), the main-CPU turns OFF the power to protect the fuser unit. Error code: C449 ([C] and [8]) Counter value of the fuser unit error status: 9 (08-400) Thermistors continue detecting the abnormal temperature even after the error codes and counter values are decided. Even if the power is turned ON immediately, it is automatically turned OFF again when the surface temperature of the fuser roller is still higher than the abnormal temperature detected. Wait until the surface temperature of the fuser roller is lowered enough, and turn ON the power to check the counter value while it is turned OFF again. After confirming that it is the fuser unit abnormality, correct the abnormality and reset the counter value (08-400) to "0" to start up the equipment normally.

14 - 11
6) Temperature detection circuit Thermistors are elements whose resistance decreases as they detect a higher temperature. Thus, the input voltage to the main-CPU is changed and the main-CPU judges whether this change is abnormal or not. If one of these thermistors is broken, the control circuit judges that the temperature of the fuser roller or the pressure roller is extremely low. Then the circuit keeps turning the IH coil on. As a result of this, the fuser roller temperature rises, and this may activate the thermostats, a safety protection element. To prevent this problem in advance, the main-CPU works to detect the wire breaking of each thermistor. These thermistors also check the temperature of the fuser roller or the pressure roller regularly to prevent them from excessive heating caused by a circuit abnormality or a thermistor abnormality. If the temperature of these rollers has exceeded a specified level, the thermistors automatically turn the power of the equipment OFF.

1) ASIC outputs the control signals for the fuser motor rotation. (HTRMT signal: Motor rotation command) 2) The excitation phase switching section excites each phase of the fuser motor. The fuser motor is rotated. 3) Hall elements A, B and C detect the rotation position of the motor (rotor). 4) The excitation phase switching section switches the excitation of each phase. (The motor keeps rotating by repeating from 2) to 4).) 5) An FG (Frequency Generator) pulse is generated by the rotation of the motor. 6) The FG pulse and the reference frequency from the ASIC are compared in terms of the phase and speed, and the difference is added to the excitation phase switching section. Fluctuations in the power supply voltage are also added to the value. (Signal generation) 7) According to the result of step 6), the switching timing of the excitation phase switching section is changed, namely, the FG pulse and the reference clock are controlled to be equal. The fuser motor is rotated at a constant speed. (= Lock range) 8) When the HTRMT signal moves to a high level, the fuser motor is stopped. 9) When the pressure roller temperature is lowered to less than the reference value during the ready status, the HTRML signal output from the ASIC moves to a low level. Thus the motor is rotated at a low speed.

Control signal of fuser motor HTRMT signal: This signal switches the on/off of the fuser motor. When this signal moves to a low level, the motor is rotated, and when this moves to a high level, the motor is stopped. HTRCK signal: This signal is a reference clock which keeps the fuser motor rotation at a constant speed. When the cyclic change of the FG pulse period against this reference signal is within 6.25%, this is defined as a lock range (= the normal rotation of the motor). When the cyclic change is within this range, the LED on the driving PC board of this motor is lit. HTRML signal: This signal rotates the fuser motor at a low speed. When this signal moves to a low level, the motor is rotated at a low speed, and when this moves to a high level, the motor is roated at a high speed.

15.2 Functions
1) Exit/reverse gate This gate switches the paper from the fuser unit in the direction of the exit roller or reverse path. This is operated by the gate solenoid (SOL2). 2) Exit roller The exit roller exits the paper from the fuser unit to the outside of the equipment. This is driven by the exit motor (M18). 3) Reverse path rollers The path roller feeds the paper and switches back at the reverse path. This is driven by the reverse motor (M19) and switches the feeding speed to "high" after the trailing edge of paper goes through the fuser transport sensor (S9). 4) Reverse section cooling fan-1 and -2 (M24, M25) These fans are equipped to cool down the reverse section. 5) Reverse sensor-1 and -2 (S23, S24) These sensors detect the state of paper feeding.

15.4 Operation
The paper from the fuser unit is transported to the reverse path by the exit/reverse gate, which is usually directed toward the reverse path and switched by the gate solenoid (SOL2) only when the reverse operation is not carried out. When the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the fuser transport sensor (S9), the paper transport speed at the reverse path is switched to a high one and switched back in a specified time after that. The paper is transported to the exit roller with keeping the high speed and discharged to the outside of the equipment. When carrying out a duplex printing, the paper switched back at the reverse path is transported to the horizontal transport section, which is under the transfer/transport unit and switches the paper transport speed to a normal one at this time, and it is again transported to the transfer section and fused there. Then, after the duplex paper has passed through the fuser unit and the exit/reverse gate has been switched, it is discharged to the outside of the equipment by the exit roller without being transported to the reverse path.

16.5 Operations
16.5.1 A4 single-sided feeding (Operational condition: A4 original/ Reproduction ratio: 100%)
1) Original setting The original empty sensor (S60) turns ON when the original has been set on the original feeding tray.
Fig.16-10
2) Lifting of the lifting tray The tray lift motor (M38) rotates to lift the tray after receiving the original feeding signal from the engine. With a specified delay after the lifting tray upper limit detection sensor (S59) has detected a top side of the original, the tray lift motor (M38) stops rotating.
Fig.16-11
16
16 - 7
3) Start of separation The document feed motor (M37) starts to rotate forward. When the original length detection sensor (S63) detects the leading edge of the original, the tray lift motor (M38) starts to rotate to lower the tray to a specified level. The document feed motor (M37) stops rotating when the original has been transported a specified distance after the original registration sensor (S55) had detected the leading edge of the original. From 2nd original, feeding starts after the admission signal to start feeding is received.
Fig.16-12
4) Start of feeding The document feed motor (M37) starts to rotate in reverse. After the document feed motor (M37) has finished accelerating, the read motor (M36) starts to rotate forward. With 1st original, both the document feed and read motors (M37, M36) start to slow down when the leading edge of the original has come to a specified distance before the read sensor (S69). From 2nd original, the document feed motor (M37) starts to slow down when the leading edge of the original has come to a specified distance before the 1st roller. The document feed motor (M37) stops rotating when the original length detection sensor (S63) has detected the trailing edge of the original. At the same time, the tray lift motor (M38) starts to rotate to lift the tray. When the tray has come to a specified level after the lifting tray upper limit detection sensor (S62) had detected the top side of the original, it stops rotating. The original empty sensor (S60) detects whether or not there is a next original with a specified delay after the original length detection sensor (S63) has detected the trailing edge of the original. Without a next original, the tray lift motor (M38) starts to lower the tray to turn the original set signal OFF. When the lifting tray lower limit detection sensor (S62) has detected the tray, it stops rotating. With a next original, the separation begins at the same time the scanning begins. When the original has been transported a specified distance by the read motor (M36) after the read sensor (S69) had detected the leading edge of the original, the read motor (M36) stops rotating and the original stop signal turns ON.
Fig.16-13
16 - 8
5) Start of 1st original scanning The scanning begins after receiving the original transport signal from the engine. At the same time, the original stop signal is reset. Then the read motor (M36) starts to rotate forward and to separate the next original. The SCN-STR turns ON when the leading edge of the original has reached the scanning section. When it has been transported to the intermediate transport section and come to a specified distance before the intermediate transport roller, the large original exit motor (M39) starts to rotate in reverse. Feeding of 2nd original starts when the original has been transported a specified distance by the read motor (M36) after the original length detection sensor (S63) had detected the trailing edge of the original.
Fig.16-14
The SCN-STR turns OFF when the trailing edge of the original has passed the scanning section, and before the trailing edge of the original passes the 3rd roller, 2nd original reaches the scanning waiting section and stops being transported.

7) After the original trailing edge has passed the 3rd roller When the leading edge of the original has come to a specified distance before the small original exit roller, the small original exit motor (M40) starts to rotate forward.
Fig.16-19
When the original intermediate transport sensor (S70) detects the trailing edge of 1st original, the large original exit motor (M39) stops rotating unless the leading edge of 2nd original has come to a given place. If it has, the large original exit motor (M39) slows down to the speed of scanning. When the trailing edge of the original has come to a specified distance before the small original exit roller, the small original exit motor (M40) starts to slow down.
Fig.16-20
When the original has proceeded a specified distance after the small original exit sensor (S67) had detected the trailing edge of the original, the small original exit motor (M40) stops rotating. Then the operation ends after 2nd original has been discharged.

16.7 Errors
Errors can be divided into the sensor adjustment error, EEPROM error, tray lift motor(M38) error and temperature detector error. 1) Sensor adjustment error There are 4 kinds of sensor adjustment errors: - Original length detection sensor (S63) adjustment error : C830 - Read sensor (S69) adjustment error : C820 - Large original exit sensor (S68) adjustment error : C860 - Small original reverse sensor (S66) adjustment error : C840 The D/A output voltage is adjusted so that the A/D input voltage for each sensor is kept within the range between 3.16V and 3.55V while carrying out the all-sensor adjust ment at the adjustment mode. At this time, the sensor adjustment error occurs when the D/A output voltage cannot be adjusted within the range between 0.04V and 2.90V. 2) EEPROM error : C730 The EEPROM error occurs when the initialization value cannot be written on the EEPROM while carrying out the EEPROM initialization at the adjustment mode or when data cannot be read out from the EEPROM after turning ON the power. 3) Tray lift motor (M38) error : C850 The tray lift motor (M38) error occurs when a feeding jam because of which the upper limit/lower limit cannot be detected within a specified time while lifting/lowering the tray takes place 3 times continuously. 4) Temperature detector error : C870 The temperature detector error occurs when the temperature detector on the ADF board detects having exceeded the upper or lower limit of the specified temperature. The detection timing is when the power is turned ON or the operation is started. After detecting the error, the ADF operates with the lower motor speed as the temperature rise mode.

16.8.1
1) Original position base code The tray guide width is measured and stored when the feed signal is received. Altering of the tray guide position during the operation is ignored. 2) Width direction size The status of the original width detection sensor 1 to 3 (S56, S57, S58) are stored when the leading edge of an original reaches the position 10 mm further from the 1st roller after feeding has started with the original at the pre-feeding position. 3) Feeding direction size When the leading edge of an original reaches the position 7 mm further from the read sensor (S69), the original size is decided by considering the information whether or not the original length detection sensor (S63) is ON, original position base code and status of the original width detection sensor 1 to 3 (S56, S57, S58). Then it is transmitted to the engine. However, when the original length detection sensor (S63) is ON at the mixed-original mode, the original size for some combinations cannot be decided. In this case, the size is decided by taking into consideration the document feed motor (M37) pulses counted during the time after the original is idle reversed until it passes through the original length detection sensor (S63) and transmitted to the engine.

16.11 Circuits
1) Input circuits for read sensor (S69), large original exit sensor (S68), small original reverse sensor (S66) and original length detection sensor (S63) Since the read sensor (S69), large original exit sensor (S68), small original reverse sensor (S66) and original length detection sensor (S63) have almost the same circuitries, only the input circuit for the read sensor (S69) is described as followed.
Fig.16-94
This circuit consists of the voltage-current conversion circuit, which adjusts the amount of light of the infrared LED, and the voltage comparison circuit, which compares the voltage output from a phototransistor (PTr) with a reference voltage and converts the output voltage into digital signals. The read sensor (S69) is a mirror reflection sensor, and consists of a pair of emission elements (infrared LEDs) and a light receiving element (PTr). Both elements have a light axis running in the same direction. There is a mirror on the extended light axis of these elements. When there is no original between the elements and the mirror, infrared light emitted from LED is reflected by PTr in high reflectance. If there is an original, light emission to the mirror and reflected light from the mirror are blocked by the original, and the reflected light entering PTr becomes extremely small. When a large amount of light is entering PTr (this means there is no original) the optical current flowing in the PTr is increased, and the voltage of IC6-8 pin becomes higher due to a drop in voltage caused by R109. IC6 is a comparator which compares the reference voltage input to 9 pin (nonreverse input terminal) with the signal voltage of 8 pin (reverse input terminal). If the voltage of 8 pin is higher, the output level (IC6-14 pin) is "L". On the contrary, when the amount of the incoming light is small (this means there is an original), the voltage of 14 pin is low and the voltage of IC6-14 pin becomes "H". R56, C56 and C57 are noise filters. This circuit has an automatic sensitivity adjustment function to control the unevenness of the sensor sensitivity. Uneven sensor sensitivity is corrected by controlling the machine to have a constant PTr voltage when there is no original. The intensity of the infrared light emitted from the LEDs is changed to adjust the PTr voltage. When the sensor sensitivity adjustment mode is selected, the PTr output voltage (analog value) is measured by the A-D input terminals of CPU. The output voltage of the D-A converter is changed to keep the PTr output voltage to a certain level, and the LED current is adjusted by a voltage-current conversion circuit consisting of IC11, R65, Q6, etc. Each machine; has a different D-A output voltage value, which is stored in the volatile memory.
16 - 74
Fig.16-95
This circuit controls the irruptive current flowing into the current regeneration condensers mounted on the drive circuits for the motors to a certain value. The circuit consists of a posister (PTH1) which controls the current and FET (Q12) which supplies the current in normal conditions. Base current is not supplied to Q2 and it becomes OFF after the RADF open/close switch (SW9) and jam access cover open/close switch (SW10) are turned OFF till the cathode voltage of ZD3 reaches the zener voltage. At this time, both voltages are set by R36 and C107. Q12 is turned OFF correspondingly to supply the current to PTH1, and the current regeneration condensers are charged. After the current regeneration condensers are fully charged and when the cathode voltage of ZD3 exceeds the zener voltage after the time allowance given by C107 and R36, a base current is supplied to Q2 to turn it ON and Q12 comes ON correspondingly. The current limitation is canceled and the current flowing in the PTH1 starts to be supplied to Q12. R66, R67, R68 and R69 are discharge resistors to capture charge stored in the current regeneration condensers right after either of the RADF open/close switch (SW9) or jam access cover open/close switch (SW10) is opened. The circuit consisted of PTH2 and D1 captures the charge stored in C107 right after either the RADF open/close switch (SW10) or the jam access cover open/close switch (SW10) is opened, and also controls incoming current for instantaneous opening/closing of the cover.

Fig.16-96
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage and the direction of rotation, excitation mode and motor current of the read motor (M36). A drive clock signal (RMOT_CLK) and rotation direction signal (RMOT_CWB) are input to control the speed and direction of the motor rotation. M1 and M2 are the exciting mode setting signals. The PWM signal of RMOT_CU is separated and smoothed at R101, R80, R42, R76, C140 and C91, and it is input into IC10-19 pin (Vref) to set the motor current value. The motor current value can be changed by altering duties of the PWM signal. 4) Drive circuit for document feed motor (M37), large original exit motor (M39), small original exit motor (M40) and tray lift motor Since the document feed motor, large original exit motor, small original exit motor and tray lift motor have almost the same circuitries, only the drive circuit for the document feed motor is described as follows.
Fig.16-97
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage, the direction of the rotation of the document feed motor (M37) and the motor current. The drive pattern signal is input into IC15-5, 6, 16, 17 pin to control the speed and direction of the motor rotation. The PWM signal is input into KMOT_CU and separated and smoothed at R102, R103, R89, R87 and C89, and it is input into IC15-3 pin (RefA), -14 pin (RefB) to set the motor current value. The motor current value can be changed by altering duties of the PWM signal.

5) Drive circuit for large original exit roller release solenoid (SOL6), small original exit solenoid (SOL4) and large original exit solenoid (SOL5) This circuit controls the closing/opening of the flappers of the large original exit roller release solenoid, small original exit and large original exit solenoids (SOL6, SOL4, SOL5). When the level of ESSOL, SSOL, LSOL is H, Q9, Q10, Q11 are turned ON and the flappers are closed. The drive signal for the large original exit roller release solenoid (SOL6) is a PWM signal. The flappers are closed in the maximum torque of the solenoids and the duty value becomes 100% when the flappers start to be closed. After finishing closing, the duty value is decreased down to 50% and the flappers are kept closed while the temperature rise of the solenoids is being lowered.
Fig.16-98
6) Reset circuit
Fig.16-99
This circuit generates a CPU reset signal when the power is turned ON and the power voltage is detected to have become lower. The level of IC5-6 pin (OUT) is normally "H" after the power is turned ON. However, when the power is turned OFF or the voltage of the +5 V power supply is decreased to 4.25V or lower for some reason, the level of IC5-6 pin becomes "L" and the CPU is reset.

7) EEPROM circuit
Fig.16-100
This circuit is an EEPROM to store RADF data and its peripheral circuit. IC3 is a memory to store the adjustment value for reflection-type sensors, and data are sent/ received between IC3 and CPU using a 4-line type serial interface. Data saved in the IC3 is not erased even if the power is turned OFF. IC3-1 pin (CS) is a chip selection terminal and its level is "H" when data are being sent/received. IC3-2 pin (SK) is a serial clock terminal, and the serial data are sent in synchronization with the clock input which is input to this terminal. IC3-3 pin (DI) is a input terminal for serial data and IC3-4 pin (DO) is an output terminal for serial data. 8) Conversion circuit for D-A
Fig.16-101
This is a circuit of the D-A converter to converse the digital signal from CPU to the analog signal. Controls of CPU are done by the serial communications of each DI, CLK, LD signal. The analog output signals from Ao1 to Ao4 are used to adjust the light intensity of the light emitting diode (LED) of the reflective sensor. Also, Ao5 and Ao6 output 5 V or 0 V and are used as the output ports.
16 - 78
Fig.16-102
This is a circuit to connect to COM with one of the four analog input signals. As following table shows, the digital signals input into IC7-11 pin (A), IC7-10 pin (B) and IC7-9 pin (C) switch the corresponding channels and IC7-3 pin (COM) at a high speed, and they are input into the A-D input terminal of CPU. Each channel signal is an analog output signal of the reflective sensor and used to adjust the sensor automatically.
