Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams,
represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow
indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, however, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.1 Features
1.1.1 Feature
0021-1249
1. Small and low-cost printer

The printer uses a flat in-line cartridge method for the first time in the small printer. This lowers the height and reduces the printer size. The printer uses the
transfer pad and the separation roller to reduce the parts expenses.
2. Intermediate transfer method
The intermediate transfer method transfers toner images to the Intermediate Transfer Belt (ITB) and transfers the images in four colors onto the print media at
once. It realizes a stabilized color-print on various media without being affected by the primary transfer operation.
3. Improved usability
The printer improves usability by using the pullout cartridge and the front side accessibility to the media. This small-sized printer is user-friendly on the space
of the desktop.

1.6 Safety
1.6.1 Safety of the Laser Light
0021-1270
Laser beam radiation may pose a danger to the human body. A laser scanner mounted on the machine is sealed with the protection housing and external cover to
prevent the laser beam from leaking to the outside. The laser beam never leaks out of the scanner as far as users operate the machine normally
The following warnings are given to comply with Safety Principles (EN60950).
Laserstrahlen knnen fr den menschlichen Krper gefhrlich sein. Aus diesem Grund ist das optische Lasersystem mit einem Schutzgehuse und einer Auenabdeckung dicht verschlossen und hat eine Struktur, die keine Laserstrahlen nach auen dringen lsst. Unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Benutzer dieses Gert normal
bedient, ist ein Austritt von Laserstrahlen daher ausgeschlossen.
1.6.2 Safety of Toner

0021-1272
1. Toner in General
Toner is a non-toxic material made up of plastic, iron, and small amounts of dye.
Do not throw toner into fire. Doing so can lead to explosion.
2. Contact with Toner

- Toner on the skin or clothes must be removed using dry tissue and then washed with water.
- The use of warm water must be avoided, doing so will cause the toner to turn gel-like and to permanently fuse with the fibers of the clothes.
- Contact with vinyl must also be avoided, as toner can readily react.
3. Store of Copy/Print Output
- Be sure to use transparency cases for storing copy/print output.
Do not use transparency cases made from polyvinyl chloride materials. If the copied surface contacts to the case, toner on the surface of the output dissolves and
the output may adhere to the case.
1.6.3 Handling the Laser Unit

0021-1273
When servicing the area around the laser assembly, be sure to turn off the main power.
If you must servicr while the power is turned on, be sure to keep the followings:
- Do not use a screwdriver or tools that have a high level of reflectance in the laser path.
- Remove watches and rings before starting the work. (They can reflect the laser beam, possibly hitting the eye.)
The machine's covers that can reflect laser light are identified by means of a warning label (Figure). If you must detach a cover showing the label, be sure to take
extra caution during the work.
The following warnings are given to comply with Safety Principles (EN60950).

1.6.4 Points to note at disassembly/installation procedure

0021-1274
At disassembly/installation procedure, make sure to follow the instruction below to proceed.

1. Be sure to unplug the power code before disassembly/installation.
2. At installation, follow the procedure in the reverse order of disassembly unless otherwise instructed.
3. Be careful of the screw type (length, diameter) and corresponding part.
4. To check the electrical conductivity, washer equipped screw is used to attach the grounding wire and the varistor etc. When attaching them, be sure to use this
screw.
5. In principle, do not operate the machine without any part.
6. Be sure not to unscrew the screw with painting at disassembly.

2.4.1.3 Latent image formation block

0021-1308
During the two steps that comprise this block, an invisible latent image is formed on the photosensitive drum.
Step 1: Primary charging
To prepare for latent image formation, the surface of the photosensitive drum is charged with a uniform negative potential.
2-3
Chapter 2
The primary charging roller charges the photosensitive drum directly. The DC negative bias is applied to the primary charging roller to keep a negative potential
on the drum surface.

Step 2: Laser-beam exposure

The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize the negative charge on portions of the drum surface. An electrostatic latent image forms where the
negative charge was neutralized.

Toner adheres to the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum, which becomes visible.
Step 3: Development
Toner acquires a negative charge from the friction that occurs when the developing cylinder rotates against the developing blade. When the negatively charged
toner comes in contact with the drum, it adheres to the latent image because the drum surface has a higher potential.

2.4.3 Image Stabilizaton Control

2.4.3.1 Overview of the Image Stabilization Control Mechanism
0021-1315
The machine uses its image stabilization control mechanism to prevent lowering of image quality (e.g., in the form of a faulty image) otherwise caused by changes
in the environment or deterioration of the photosensitive drum or toner.
The machine's image stabilization control mechanism may be any of 3 types: Image density corrective control (D-max control), Image halftone corrective control
(D-half control), Color Misregistration Corrective Control.
2.4.3.2 Image density correction control (D-max control)

0021-1316
This control is to stabilize the image density of the printer engine.

If the prescribed condition is met, DC controller PCB performs D-max control in the following procedure.
1. Measure the each density detection pattern made on the ITB.
2. According to the measured density of each pattern, controls the primary charge bias and developing bias to get the appropriate density.
The following is the conditions that trigger the image density correction control
- When the power is ON
At power ON, Out-of-Register Colors Correction is suspended until the initial print process is completed and the machine is ready or until 15 min passes after
the power ON. The time setting can be changed from Option > Device Settings > Startup Settings in printer status window.

MEMO:
- When the calibration is executed, sheet counter reading and elapsed time timer are cleared.
- Calibration is not executed in sleep mode.
2.4.3.3 Image gradation correction control (D-half control)

0021-1317
This is a control that main controller PCB executes the gradation correction based on result of the halftone density measurement that is executed by DC controller
PCB.
After D-max control, DC controller PCB and main controller PCB execute the D-half control in the following procedure.
1. DC controller PCB measures the each color density detection pattern on ITB that is made by the appropriate primary charge bias that is determined at D-max
control and developing bias, and sends the density data to main controller PCB.
2. Main controller PCB executes the gradation correction to realize the ideal halftone image based on the data.
2.4.3.4 Color displacement correction control

0021-1318
This control is to correct the color displacement that appears due to the variation of laser scanner unit or toner cartridge.
The following objects are controlled by this color displacement correction.
- Write start position in main scanning direction
- Magnification in main scanning direction
- Write start position in sub scanning direction
When one of the following conditions is met, DC controller PCB controls the color displacement/density sensor and displacement sensor.
- At power ON
At power ON, Out-of-Register Colors Correction is suspended until the initial print process is completed and the machine is ready or until 15 min passes after
the power ON. The time setting can be changed from Option > Device Settings > Startup Settings in printer status window.

- If there is major environment change
MEMO:
- When the calibration is executed, sheet counter reading and elapsed time timer are cleared.
- Calibration is not executed in sleep mode.
The following is the sequences of this control.

1) DC controller calculates the degree of each color displacement by the color displacement detection pattern made on ITB and sends the color displacement information to main controller.
2) Main controller controls the each color video signal according the color displacement data and adjusts the write start position in main scanning direction, the
magnification in main scanning direction and the write start position in sub scanning direction.
At printer engine side, DC controller PCB also controls the scanner motor speed to correct the color displacement in sub scanning direction.
Scanning magnification
This indicates the image size in the main scanning direction.
Since this machine is equipped with the independent photosensitive drum for each color, the photosensitive drum position differs due to the toner cartridge variation
and that leads to the laser wave length difference. Thus, image range differs depending on a color in main scanning direction so that the color displacement occurs
at the edge of the image.
2.4.4 Drum Cartridge

2.4.4.1 Developing roller engagement/disengagement control
0021-1319
The developing cylinder engagement/disengagement control engages the required developing cylinder with the photosensitive drum according to the print mode,
full-color mode or monochrome mode.
The necessary developing cylinder is engaged with the photosensitive drum only when required, preventing a deterioration of the drums and making maximum use
of the life.
The engagement/disengagement of the developing cylinder is controlled by the DC controller rotating the main motor and changing the direction of the developing
disengagement cam. The DC controller controls the developing cylinder state, whether engaged or disengaged, by counting the main motor rotation after it detects
the signal from the developing homeposition sensor.
All four colors' developing cylinders disengage from the photosensitive drums when the printer is turned on and when a print operation is completed. All four colors'
developing cylinders engage with the photosensitive drums when the full-color mode is designated. Only black's developing cylinder engages with the photosensitive drum when the monochrome mode is designated.
The DC controller determines an abnormality of the developing cylinder engagement/disengagement function and notifies the main controller when it does not
sense the signal from the developing homeposition sensor for a specified period during the developing cylinder engagement/disengagement operation.

2.5.3 Cassette Pickup

2.5.3.1 Separation Roller Method
0021-1331
The printer has a separation roller method to prevent multiple sheets of media from entering to the printer.
The paper separation roller follows the rotational direction of the pick-up roller because it does not have its own driving force.
- Normal-feed
The separation roller is driven by the pickup roller through a sheet of print media. That is, the separation roller rotates in the media feed direction.
- Multiple-feed
The low friction force between the sheets weakens the rotational force from the pickup roller. The separation roller is limited its rotational force and it does not
rotate with such weak driving force from the pickup roller. As the separation roller does not rotate, the multiple sheets are not fed to the printer.

The DC controller monitors the FIXING HEATER TEMPERATURE (MAINTH) signal and sends the FIXING HEATER DRIVE (FSRD+, FSRD-) signals according to the detected temperature. The fixing heater drive circuit controls the fixing heater depending on the signals so that the heater remains at the targeted
temperature.
1) Warm up temperature control
This control is to warm up the fixing heater until the fixing temperature reaches the required fixing temperature.
Warm up temperature differs depending on the elapsed time from the previous print, paper type or environment.
2) Print temperature control
This control is to keep the fixing sleeve temperature at a targeted temperature during printing.
Target temperature of fixing sleeve differs, depending on the paper type.
3) Paper interval temperature control
This control is to bring the fixing heater temperature lower than the fixing temperature at paper interval to prevent the pressure roller from overheating during
continuous printing in low speed mode at paper interval.
Temperature during paper interval is changed corresponding to the distance and paper type.
2.6.3 Protective Functions

2.6.3.1 Protective function
0021-2054
The protective function detects an abnormal temperature rise of the fixing unit and interrupts power supply to the fixing heater.
The following three protective components prevent an abnormal temperature rise of the fixing heater:
- DC controller
- Fixing heater safety circuit
- Thermal fuse
1) DC controller
The DC controller monitors the detected temperature of the thermistor located at the center of the fixing heater. The DC controller sets the FIXING HEATER
DRIVE (FSRD+, FSRD-) signals to inactive and releases the relay to interrupt power supply to the fixing heater under the following condition:
- Thermistor: 230 deg C or higher
2) Fixing heater safety circuit
The fixing heater safety circuit monitors the detected temperature of the thermistor located at the center of the fixing heater. The fixing heater safety circuit
releases the relay to interrupt power supply to the fixing heater under the following condition:
- Thermistor: 240 deg C or higher
3) Thermal fuse
When the temperature of the fixing heater rises abnormally high and the detected temperature of the thermal fuse is the following condition, the fuse blows to
interrupt power supply to the fixing heater:
- Thermal fuse: 226 deg C or higher
2.6.3.2 Fixing unit failure detection

0021-2055
The DC controller determines a fixing unit failure, sets the FIXING HEATER DRIVE (FSRD+, FSRD-) signals to inactive, releases the relay to interrupt power
supply to the fixing heater and notifies the main controller of a fixing unit failure when it encounters the following conditions:
1) Start-up failure
- If the detected temperature of the thermistor does not reach 40 deg C within a specified period from the heater energization during the wait period.
2-15
Chapter 2
- If the detected temperature of the thermistor does not reach 70 deg C within a specified
period after it once reaches 40 deg C after the heater energization during the wait period.
- If the detected temperature of the thermistor does not reach the targeted temperature within a specified period under the heater temperature control during the
initial rotation period.
2) Abnormal low temperature
- If the detected temperature of the thermistor is kept 100 deg C or lower for a specified period under the heater temperature control during the print period.
3) Abnormal high temperature
- If the detected temperature of the thermistor is kept 230 deg C or higher for a specified period.
4) Fixing heater drive circuit failure
- If the specified count of the ZERO CROSSING signal is not detected within a specified period after the printer is turned on.
- If the ZERO CROSSING signal is not detected for a specified period during the print period after the signal is once detected after the printer is turned on.

2.7.1.2 Other Function

2.7.1.2.1 Protective function
0021-2057
The low-voltage power supply has a protective function against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent failures in the power supply circuit. If there flows an overcurrent or overvoltage, the low-voltage system automatically cuts off the output voltage.
If the DC voltage is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, turn off the power switch and unplug the AC power cord. Do not turn the power switch
on again until the root cause is found.
In addition, two fuses in the fixing power supply protect against overcurrent. If overcurrent flows into the AC line, the fuses blow and cut off the AC power.
2.7.1.2.2 Power-save mode

0021-2058
The power-save mode reduces power consumption of the printer.

When the low-voltage power supply receives the POWER SAVE (REM24V) signal from the DC controller, it stops the power supply from the +24V generation
circuit.

used to communicate printer status and printer-specific characteristics and dot data, which is the result of conversion of print data by the host computer.
The data is sent to the DC controller circuit for control of laser diode activation.
If properly connected with a bi-directional interface, an external device may be used to check the printer status.
When printing is executed in a Microsoft Windows or Macintosh environment, CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology) serves to reduce processing speed
and enhance the ease of operation to provide a user-friendly printing environment. To that end, CPU is designed for the following:
- The print data from the application is turned into dot data and sent to the printer without conversion into the printer's page description language (PDL).
- The printing environment may be checked and set on the host computer display by responding to dialog boxes.
- The printer status is indicated on the host computer screen: print end time, print paper movement, error status.
