1. Installation Precautions

WARNING

• Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections to
one outlet: they may cause fire or electric shock. When using an extension cable, always check that
it is adequate for the rated current. .....................................................................................................

• Connect the ground wire to a suitable grounding point. Not grounding the copier may cause fire or
electric shock. Connecting the earth wire to an object not approved for the purpose may cause
explosion or electric shock. Never connect the ground cable to any of the following: gas pipes, light-
ning rods, ground cables for telephone lines and water pipes or faucets not approved by the proper
authorities. ..........................................................................................................................................

CAUTION:

• Do not place the copier on an infirm or angled surface: the copier may tip over, causing injury. .........

• Do not install the copier in a humid or dusty place. This may cause fire or electric shock. .................

• Do not install the copier near a radiator, heater, other heat source or near flammable material. This
may cause fire. ...................................................................................................................................

• Allow sufficient space around the copier to allow the ventilation grills to keep the machine as cool
as possible. Insufficient ventilation may cause heat buildup and poor copying performance. ............

• Always handle the machine by the correct locations when moving it. .................................................

• Always use anti-toppling and locking devices on copiers so equipped. Failure to do this may cause
the copier to move unexpectedly or topple, leading to injury. ..............................................................

• Avoid inhaling toner or developer excessively. Protect the eyes. If toner or developer is accidentally
ingested, drink a lot of water to dilute it in the stomach and obtain medical attention immediately.
If it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and obtain medical atten-
tion. .....................................................................................................................................................

• Advice customers that they must always follow the safety warnings and precautions in the copier’s
instruction handbook. .........................................................................................................................
2. Precautions for Maintenance

WARNING

• Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before starting machine disassembly. ................

• Always follow the procedures for maintenance described in the service manual and other related
brochures. ..........................................................................................................................................

• Under no circumstances attempt to bypass or disable safety features including safety mechanisms
and protective circuits. ........................................................................................................................

• Always use parts having the correct specifications. ............................................................................

• Always use the thermostat or thermal fuse specified in the service manual or other related brochure
when replacing them. Using a piece of wire, for example, could lead to fire or other serious acci-
dent. ...................................................................................................................................................

• When the service manual or other serious brochure specifies a distance or gap for installation of a
part, always use the correct scale and measure carefully. ..................................................................

• Always check that the copier is correctly connected to an outlet with a ground connection. ...............

• Check that the power cable covering is free of damage. Check that the power plug is dust-free. If it
is dirty, clean it to remove the risk of fire or electric shock. .................................................................

• Never attempt to disassemble the optical unit in machines using lasers. Leaking laser light may
damage eyesight. ...............................................................................................................................

• Handle the charger sections with care. They are charged to high potentials and may cause electric
shock if handled improperly. ...............................................................................................................

CAUTION

• Wear safe clothing. If wearing loose clothing or accessories such as ties, make sure they are safely
secured so they will not be caught in rotating sections. ......................................................................

• Use utmost caution when working on a powered machine. Keep away from chains and belts. ..........

• Handle the fixing section with care to avoid burns as it can be extremely hot. ..................................

• Check that the fixing unit thermistor, heat and press rollers are clean. Dirt on them can cause
abnormally high temperatures. ...........................................................................................................
• Do not remove the ozone filter, if any, from the copier except for routine replacement. ......................

• Do not pull on the AC power cord or connector wires on high-voltage components when removing
them; always hold the plug itself. ........................................................................................................

• Do not route the power cable where it may be stood on or trapped. If necessary, protect it with a
cable cover or other appropriate item. ................................................................................................

• Treat the ends of the wire carefully when installing a new charger wire to avoid electric leaks. ..........

• Remove toner completely from electronic components. .....................................................................

• Run wire harnesses carefully so that wires will not be trapped or damaged. ......................................

• After maintenance, always check that all the parts, screws, connectors and wires that were
removed, have been refitted correctly. Special attention should be paid to any forgotten connector,
trapped wire and missing screws. .......................................................................................................

• Check that all the caution labels that should be present on the machine according to the instruction
handbook are clean and not peeling. Replace with new ones if necessary. .......................................

• Handle greases and solvents with care by following the instructions below: ......................................
· Use only a small amount of solvent at a time, being careful not to spill. Wipe spills off completely.
· Ventilate the room well while using grease or solvents.
· Allow applied solvents to evaporate completely before refitting the covers or turning the power
switch on.
· Always wash hands afterwards.

• Never dispose of toner or toner bottles in fire. Toner may cause sparks when exposed directly to
fire in a furnace, etc. ...........................................................................................................................

• Should smoke be seen coming from the copier, remove the power plug from the wall outlet immedi-
ately. ...................................................................................................................................................

3. Miscellaneous

WARNING

• Never attempt to heat the drum or expose it to any organic solvents such as alcohol, other than the
specified refiner; it may generate toxic gas. ........................................................................................

• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock
might occur. ........................................................................................................................................

3. 1 Print Process

3. 1. 1 Characteristic of toner
The toner used for TASKalfa 2420w has a characteristic to be charged “negative”, which tends to
be attracted to a more “positive” object.

Suppose that there are objects A and B, and the situation is as follows.

1. Electric potential of the object B is higher than that of object A.


2. Toner exists on the object A.

Comparing the potential of both objects, it can be said that the object B is relatively “positive” and
the object A is “negative”. (In another word, object B is more “positive” than the object A.)
As the toner is “negative”, it is attracted to the object B that is more “positive”.
If you move the object B close to the object A, therefore, the toner moves onto the object B.

Object A with low potential A


(Relatively negative) A A
Toner moves from A to B.

Object B with high potential B B


B
(Relatively positive)

On the contrary, suppose that the toner exists on the object B of which electric potential is higher
than the object A.
Even if you move the object A close to the object B, the toner continues to stay on the object B
because negative toner and relatively negative object A repel each other.

Object A with low potential A


(Relatively negative) A A
Toner stays on B.

Object B with high potential B B


(Relatively positive) B

Thus, the toner has a characteristic to move from one place with a lower potential to another place
with a higher potential.
If we control the electric potentials, it is possible to move the toner from one place to another as we
intend, or it is also possible to remove the toner from an unwanted place.
TASKalfa 2420w controls the electric potentials properly working each part as Drum, Corona Units,
Lamps, Developer Unit and Cleaning Roller.
The movement of toner is controlled correctly and several processes as Development, Toner
Transfer, Drum Cleaning and etc. are performed.

Reference

When the printer is going to stop after printing, or when the used Roll Deck is changed with
other one, the TASKalfa 2420w will take the “Toner Collection Process” to remove the
remained toner and place back into the Developer Unit.
Refer to [3.1.4 Toner Collection Process].

3-4
3. 1. 2. 1 Erasing (Removal of negative electric charges)
As the first step of print cycle, it is necessary to remove the negative electric charges from the
Drum, which have remained there after the former print cycle.
The Drum has a characteristic to lose the negative electric charges if it is exposed to the light.
So the Drum is rotated and evenly exposed to the light from the Eraser Lamp.
The electric potential on the Drum becomes 0V (residual potential) by this process.

3. 1. 2 .2 Charge of Drum
The Image Corona discharges negative electric charges which are given to the Drum.
The surface of Drum becomes about -630V evenly as a result, which corresponds to the white
area of the printed image pattern.
The Grid Plate is also connected to the High Voltage Power Supply individually.

Current and Voltage supplied to the Image Corona Wire is as follows.

Corona Wire -1.3mA +/-0.05mA

3. 1. 2. 3 Exposure
According to the printed image pattern, the LED Head throws the light (740nm) onto some part of
Drum which corresponds to the black area of printed image pattern.
As the Drum has a characteristic to lose the negative electric charges if it is exposed to the light,
this part of Drum surface loses the charges and its potential becomes about -20V. (This potential is
not constant but is variable by the environment.)
The other part of Drum surface, which was not exposed to the light from the LED Head, keeps
-630V of potential which the Image Corona has given.
An invisible electric image pattern that consists of -630V area and the -20V area is formed on the
surface of Drum as a result. (This is called “Electrostatic Latent Image”.)

Reference
(1) Even if the toner remains on the Drum, it will not block the light from the LED Head as the
diameter of toner (9 micrometers) is much smaller than that (42 micrometers) of 1 pixel of
LED. The electric charges on the Drum are removed as needed.

(2) The TASKalfa 2420w’s LED Head Unit consists of 3 blocks.

3. 1. 2. 4 Development
The Developer Roller, which is evenly covered with the toner, is contacted to the Drum because
the Developer Unit is pressed to the Drum. (The width of contact point is about 5mm.)
The Developer Roller is supplied with -230V during the print cycle.
And both -630V area and -20V area exist on the Drum because the Electrostatic Latent Image has
been formed in the former Exposure process.

Seen from the voltage of Developer Roller Bias (-230V), the -20V area on the Drum is relatively
“positive”. So the toner moves from the Developer Roller to the -20V area of Drum.

On the other hand, the -630V area is relatively “negative” seen from the Developer Roller.
So the toner does not move to the -630V area but stays on the Developer Roller.

A visible toner image is formed on the Drum as a result.

3-9
Even if some toner has not been removed by the Cleaning Roller but remained on the -630V area
of Drum (It corresponds to the white area of the print) in the later [3.1.2.7 Drum Cleaning], this
toner is removed at the time of Development because it moves to the Developer Roller of which
potential (-230V) is higher than that of Drum (-630V).
So there will be no case that unnecessary black spot is printed on the white area of the print.
The remained toner that moved to the Developer Roller is carried into the Developer Unit and then
reused.

1. Toner remained on the Drum


2. Toner moves from the Drum to the Developer Roller.
3. Developer Roller carries the toner toward the Toner Supply Roller
4. Toner is shifted to the inside of the Developer Unit by the revolution of Toner Supply Roller.
5. Toner is reused.

Reference
The Developer Unit has not only the Developer Roller but also 2 more rollers inside which
are also supplied with the individual voltages.
The Developer Unit controls the movement of toner in the unit taking advantage of the
difference of potentials among these rollers, and covers the Developer Roller with the toner
in the end.
Refer to [3. 1. 3 Controlling the Movement of Toner in the Developer Unit] to know how the
Developer Unit controls the movement.

3-10
3. 1. 2. 5 Transfer
The printing paper is charged positively as the Transfer Corona discharges positive electric
charges from under the paper.
The toner existing on the -20V area on the Drum will move to the printing paper because the
potential of the paper comes to be higher than the Drum by the Transfer Process.
The voltage supplied to the Transfer Corona Wire is as follows.

Transfer Corona Wire: +1.0mA +/-0.05mA


(When the Insulated Drum is used.)

Print Media

Transfer Corona Positive electric charges

3-11
3. 1. 2. 6 Separation
The printing paper is attracted to the Drum after the Transfer because the potential of paper is
positive and that of Drum is negative.
It is necessary for avoiding the jam to separate the paper from the Drum by removing the static
force between them.
The Separation Corona takes AC discharge being supplied with the AC voltage and the DC
voltage.

AC voltage : 5.0KV
DC voltage : -250V

As the AC voltage is compensated by the negative DC voltage, the negative charges are
generated more than positive ones, which mainly results in removing the positive charges of the
printing paper.
The static force between the printing paper and the Drum is reduced as a result, and the paper is
separated from the Drum by its weight.

Separation Corona Positive charges of the paper are


removed by the AC discharge.

3. 1. 2. 7 Drum Cleaning (Removal of remained toner)
Some amount of toner that has not been transferred onto the printing paper is remaining on the
Drum.
This remained toner will be removed by the Cleaning Roller.
The Cleaning Roller is supplied with +450V (+/-5V), and there are some negative electric charges
on the Drum at this time.
As the Cleaning Roller is relatively “positive” and the Drum is “negative”, the toner moves from the
Drum to the Cleaning Roller.

NOTE
If too much toner exists in a small area (like a trace of solid black image) the Cleaning Roller
may not be able to remove all of them.
But this toner is removed from the Drum in the Development Process.

3-13
3. 1. 2. 8 Fusing
After Transfer / Separation Processes, the printing paper is transported to the Fuser Unit.
The Fuser Unit mainly consists of the Fuser Roller and the Pressure Roller.
The Fuser Roller is very hot, and the Pressure Roller is strongly pressed to the Fuser Roller by the
spring.
The toner is firmly fused onto the printing paper by the heat and the pressure when the paper
passes through between these rollers.

Fuser Roller

Pressure Roller

3. 1. 3 Controlling the movement of toner in the
Developer Unit
There are 3 kinds of rollers called “Developer Roller”, “Regulation Roller” and “Toner Supply
Roller” in the Developer Unit.
Each roller is supplied with its own voltage.
In the following list, the voltage of the Developer Roller (-230V) is measured against the ground.
The other voltages mean the difference against the voltage of Developer Roller Bias.

Name of roller Supplied voltage


Developer Roller -230V +/-5V against the ground
Regulation Roller (Center) -80V +/-5V against the Developer Roller Bias
Regulation Roller (Both sides) 0V (Connected to the ground)
Toner Supply Roller The same voltage with the Developer Roller Bias
(Developer Roller and Toner Supply Roller are short circuited
being connected with the plate.)

Regulation Roller : Both sides Insulator Regulation Roller : Center


(0V : Connected to GND) (-80V against the Developer Roller Bias)

Developer Roller
(-230V against GND)

Toner Supply Roller


(Same voltage with the Developer Roller Bias)

NOTE
The Regulation Roller is divided into central area and both side areas by the insulator, and
individual voltage is supplied to each area.

3-15
Taking advantage of the difference of potentials among these rollers, the movement of toner is
controlled in the Developer Unit as follows.

1. The Toner Supply Roller carries the toner toward the Developer Roller.

2. When the toner reaches the contact point of these rollers, therefore, it moves onto the
Developer Roller.
Then the Developer Roller carries the toner toward the Regulation Roller.

3. The Regulation Roller is strongly pressed to the Developer Roller by the spring, and these
2 rollers move to the opposite direction each other at the contact point.
Even if the Developer Roller carries more toner than required, the Regulation Roller limits
the amount of toner that can pass through between 2 rollers. So very small amount of toner
can pass through between rollers and the rest is returned back to the inside.
As the voltage of Developer Roller is 80V higher than that of Regulation Roller (Center), the
toner which has passed through between rollers is firmly attracted to the Developer Roller.
Very thin layer of toner is evenly formed on the surface of Developer Roller as a result.

4. Much toner sticks onto the Regulation Roller when it is returned back to the inside.
This toner is scraped off by the Scraper which is contacted to the Regulation Roller.

Regulation Roller : Center Scraper

3-16
5. The voltage of both sides of Regulation Roller is 0V as these parts are connected to the
ground.
It is higher than that of Developer Roller (-230V).
When the toner reaches the contact point of these rollers, therefore, it moves onto the
Regulation Roller.
The side areas of the Developer Roller are not covered with the toner as a result, so it is
possible to avoid the toner drops into the machine from the side.

3. 1. 4 Toner Collection Process
As explained in [3.1.2.7 Drum Cleaning], the Cleaning Roller is supplied with +450V to remove the
remained toner from the Drum during the print cycle.
This toner gathered by the Cleaning Roller is returned to the Developer Unit in the following 3
cases.

(1) When the printer has finished printing out all the accumulated print jobs and then going to
stop.
(2) When the used roll paper is ended and changed with another one.
(3) When the used roll paper is changed from one to another because the print size specified in
the job is different.

This process to return the toner is called “Toner Collection Process”.


When the trailing edge of the last sheet passes over the Separation Area, the printer will take the
Toner Collection Process as follows rotating the Drum for 2 revolutions.

1. The Eraser Lamp throws light onto the Drum to remove the negative electric charges from
the Drum. The potential of Drum becomes 0V.

2. The voltage supplied to the Cleaning Roller is changed to -550V in the Toner Collection
Process.
As the potential of Drum becomes higher than that of Cleaning Roller, toner on the Cleaning
Roller moves onto the Drum.

3. The voltage supplied to the Developer Roller is also changed to +350V (+/-5V) in the Toner
Collection Process.
As the potential of Developer Roller becomes higher than that of Drum, toner on the Drum
moves onto the Developer Roller.
Then the toner is carried into the Developer Unit by both the Developer Roller and the Toner
Supply Roller.

3. 1. 5 Density Compensation Process

On rare occasion, loss of image density may occur under a special usage. TASKalfa 2420w has
the ability to reduce such loss of image density and this enables to maintain a satisfactory image
quality regardless of the machine usage.

Density Compensation Process will adjust Regulation (Developer) Bias according to their condition
to reduce loss of image density in such situation.

In Density Compensation Process, toner density on the surface of Photoconductive Drum is


measured by Density Sensor at regular time intervals. According to the result, Regulation
(Developer) Bias will be automatically adjusted to compensate image density.

Density Measure starts at regular intervals of 2 hours of Main Motor operating time, after the
completion of the current print queue.

1. Several solid toner patches are created on the surface of Photoconductive Drum as follows.

solid toner patch

Photoconductive Drum
Density Sensor

2. Density of all the patches is measured by Density Sensor (Density Measure). The average of
the patches (Density Value) is calculated.

3. If the Density Value does not meet Target Density, Regulation (Developer) Bias will be
automatically adjusted based on the current Adjustment Level.
 If the current Density Value is judged “not enough” (lighter than required), the next level will
be applied.
 If the current Density Value is judged “adequate”, the current level remains.
 There is possibility for the Density Value to be judged “too much enough” (darker than
required), then the previous level will be applied.

Adjustment Adjustment Adjustment Adjustment


Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
(default)
Developer Bias -180V -230V -230V -230V
(Negative)
Regulation Bias -80V -80V -120V -160V
against Developer Bias

4. The adjustment allows image density to stabilize for a satisfactory image quality regardless of
the machine usage.

NOTE
An applied Adjustment Level should be set to “1” every after replacing Developer Unit. For
further information, see [5.1.4 Developer Unit] [8.11 Special Operation Mode].

3. 2 Scan Process

3. 2. 1 Data flow in scan and copy


There are CIS Units, CIS Controller PCB (SVC CIS BD) and Main Board (SVC Main BD K) in the
scanner unit, which take image reading and processes the data.

1. The CIS Units read the image pattern of original, and then send the analog data to the CIS
Controller PCB.

2. The CIS Controller Boards converts the analog data into digital data, and then send to the Data
Controller PCB.

3. The Main Board takes the correct image process according to the UI setting.
Then it outputs the image data to the IPS through the USB 2.0.

4. The IPS output the image data to the printer part of TASKalfa 2420w through the Interface 8 in
case of “copy”, or it outputs to the Network PC through the LAN cable in case of “scan to file”.

3. 2. 2 Positioning process of Image Block
The scanner part of TASKalfa 2420w reads the image of original with 5 - CIS (Contact Image
Sensor).
As these CIS are arranged in 2 rows, there occurs a vertical gap of image among the image blocks.
So it is necessary to remove this gap by vertical positioning process (Y offset).
Also the reading area of these 5 pieces of CIS overlaps each other some degree. It means some
image pixels are commonly included in the neighboring two Image Blocks. It is very hard to
recognize the image because many images are duplicated. To prevent this kind of problem, it is
necessary to remove the duplication of image pixels by horizontal positioning process (X overlap).
The Main Board performs these positioning processes.

NOTE
The TASKalfa 2420w performs these positioning processes (X overlap & Y offset) according
to the setting specified through Scanner Utility.

[Explanation]

5 pieces of CIS are arranged in 2 rows as the following illustration, with some amount of their
reading area overlapping each other.
So the reading data initially inputted to the Main Board is as follows.
(1) There occurs a vertical gap of image among the image blocks.
(2) Some image pixels are commonly included (duplicating) in the neighboring two Image
Blocks.

1. Remove the Process Unit (1). For the detailed procedure, see [5.1.5 Process Unit].

NOTE
THIS SIDE UP
(1) Gently place the Process Unit (1) on a flat
surface in the correct direction. Not doing so
may damage the Photoconductive Drum (2)
(shiny green cylinder). 2

(2) The Photoconductive Drum is one of the most important components for the printer to
obtain a satisfactory print image quality.
- Never touch the shiny green area of the Photoconductive Drum with a bare hand.
- Do not expose the Photoconductive Drum to light. It is recommended to shade the
whole Process Unit with a piece of plain bond roll paper.

7. You can see the head of the “hex. head pin” (11) on both sides.
Specify which face comes to front. Read the column below about the pin’s head.

Reference

The pin’s head is a type of hexagon head. One of the six faces has a groove.
This face is called “marked face”.

11

11

Exactly, the head is NOT in regular hexagon.


Each face has different distance from the axis of the pin’s shaft.

+ 0.3mm

+ 0.2mm - 0.2mm

+ 0.1mm - 0.1mm

marked face
= +/- 0mm, reference

For example, on step 7, a face in front of you is not “marked face”. Suppose you turn the pin
in two faces (= 120 degrees) counter clockwise, then you can see the “marked face”.
In this case, the original front face was “-0.2mm” (yellow).

(see the next page)

5-79
NOTE
To turn the pin (11), follow the instruction below.

1. Lift up the LED Head Unit. Keep lifting it up.


Again NEVER touch the LED Array (9) and the LED Head Bracket (10).

8. Which side pin / which face to be used may depend on how uneven the gray bands show.
Read the column below.

Reference

Depending on which face comes to front, the


LED Head Unit is seated slightly frontward /
backward.

This means the LED Head Unit has the


possibility to be seated in 6 different positions,
determined by which face of the pin (11)
touches the rim of the square hole (12).

Please read as well the NOTE column on the 12


previous page that instructs how to turn the pin
(11).

5-81
9. If the gray bands get darker on one area in the middle (not the exact center), that is because the
LED Head Unit is seated skew.

In this case, first, remove the skew. Find a face of the pin (11) on the darker side only so that
unevenness of the gray bands could disappear or change as follows.
Turn the pin (11) according to the NOTE column instruction on page 5-64.

Worse: try another direction. OK to proceed the next step.

Done: proper focus achieved OK to proceed the next step.

<Example: LED Head Unit from top>

Clockwise
Move backward

This example shows that the skew is removed by turning the left pin clockwise in 240 degrees
to move the left side of the LED Head Unit backward.

NOTE
(1) The actual “original front face” may vary by the case.

(2) It is not always applied that the same face of the left / right pins comes to front.
For example, “-0.2mm” (yellow) on both sides would not stand for “completely no skew”.

As which direction (clockwise or counter clockwise, in other words, the LED Head Unit to
frontward or backward) to turn the pin may vary by the case, try both directions.

Compare the results to find the better direction.


When you remove the skew, go to the next step.

5-82
10. (A) The gray bands get darker on 2 areas in the middle (not the exact center),
(B) The gray bands get darker on 1 area at the center,

in these cases, find a face of the pin (11) on both sides in the same turn(s) so that unevenness
of the gray bands could disappear.

<Example>

Counter Clockwise Clockwise


Move forward Move backward

NOTE
(1) The actual “original front face” may vary by the case.

(2) It is not always applied that the same face of the left / right pins comes to front.
For example, the proper focus would be achieved if “+0.1mm” (light blue) comes to front
on the left pin and “+0.3mm” (red) does on the right pin at the same time.

As which direction (clockwise or counter clockwise, in other words, the LED Head Unit to
frontward or backward) to turn the pin may vary by the case, try both directions.

Compare the results to find the better direction.

Worse: try another direction. OK

008 to 010 LED Strobe Time for Main Pixel
It is possible to make the whole image of each Image Block (A, B and C) darker or lighter
independently by changing the LED Strobe Time for the Main Pixels.
As a result an even image density can be accomplished among 3 Image Blocks.
The whole image of the concerning Image Block becomes darker if you increase the setting value.

For the detail information about “Main Pixel” and “Supplemental Pixel”, see the reference
column in [011 to 013 LED Strobe Time for IST (Supplemental Pixel)].

8-44
NOTE
(1) The LED Strobe Times specified in these 008, 009 and 010 are directly applied to the
Test Print.
If the setting values are 7 (for 008), 8 (for 009) and 9 (for 010), for example, the
actual LED Strobe Times are also 7 (for block A), 8 (for block B) and 9 (for block C).

In case of Test Print


008: 7 microseconds
009: 8 microseconds
010: 9 microseconds
Block A Block B Block C
(7) (8) (9)

But in case of a copy or a plot, the density command (LED Strobe Time) sent from the
output device (image scanner or controller) is applied to the Image Block A.
And only the difference of setting values among 008, 009 and 010 are applied to the
actual LED Strobe Time.
If the density command from the output device is 5 microsecond and the setting values
are 7 (for 008), 8 (for 009) and 9 (for 010), for example, the actual LED Strobe Times
are 5 (for block A), 6 (for block B) and 7 (for block C).

In case of copy or plot


Density command from output device: 5 microseconds
008: 7 microseconds
009: 8 microseconds
010: 9 microseconds
Block A Block B Block C
(5) (6) (7)

(2) If the value of density command (LED Strobe Time) sent from the output device is larger
than “9 microsecond” (Max.), it is automatically corrected to “9 microsecond”.
If it is smaller than “0 microsecond” (Min.), it is corrected to “0 microsecond” similarly.

011 to 013 LED Strobe Time for IST (Supplemental Pixel)
If such image as a diagonal line looks too weak, you can make it clearer by changing the LED
Strobe Time for the Supplemental Pixels.
The adjustment is available for each Image Block independently.
A diagonal line comes to look clearer if you increase the setting value, as the LED Strobe Time for
the Supplemental Pixels becomes longer.

Reference

Normally the TASKalfa 2420w takes 600 times of image exposure per inch for the vertical
direction as its resolution is 600DPI. Pixels created by this normal timing are called [Main
Pixel].
When a specific image pattern (like a diagonal line) is printed, however, the TASKalfa 2420w
will make additional image exposure between vertically neighboring 2 Main Pixels. This
additional image exposure is completed within a very short time. The pixel created by this
additional process is called [Supplemental Pixel].

Normal image pattern In case of a certain


image pattern

Main Pixels
Supplemental Pixels
Main Pixels

Supplemental Pixels are provided so as to fill the space between Main Pixels.
When we compare a vertical / horizontal 1 dot line and a diagonal 1 dot line, for example, the
diagonal one looks vague and rough although the vertical / horizontal one looks clear and
smooth.
This is because the diagonal line has a wider space between Main Pixels than the vertical /
horizontal one.
If this space is filled with the Supplemental Pixel, diagonal line comes to look smoother and
clearer.

No Supplemental Pixel Supplemental Pixels are provided.

014, 015 Vertical Alignment of LED Block
It is possible to align the pixels between Image Blocks if there is a gap of pixels.
The Image Block B is the standard, and both the Image Blocks A and C can be shifted vertically.
If you increase the setting value by “+1”, the whole pixels of the concerning Image Block is shifted
“0.5 pixel” to the trailing edge side.
These can be used if a horizontal line has a step at the border of the Blocks.

Check the following part of the test pattern No.9 S(3) for how many pixels Block A or Block C are
shifting against Block B.

ex) Block A/B

Block A Block B

Correct:
The long center line on Block A
touches the reference line on Block B.

The gauges on Block B line up in 0.5 pixel interval. If the long center line on Block A does not
touch the reference line, Block A is displaced in (0.5 x gauge number) pixel(s).

Block A Block B

Wrong:
The long center line on Block A are 0.5 pixel x 2 (gauge) = 1 pixel
touching the second short line from
the reference line on Block B. This
means that Block A is displaced in 1
pixel toward the leading edge.

In this example, increase No.014 in “2” to move Block A toward the trailing edge in 1 pixel.

018 Cut Length 3 (Compensation of the length of a long print)
When you make a long print, the actual print length may become shorter than expected because
the paper is likely to shrink. It is possible in this mode to compensate the print length manually.

The length of long print is not compensated directly, but it is indirectly compensated by correcting
the length of A1 print.
If you increase the setting value by “+1”, the length of A1 print becomes 0.1mm longer per 10mm.

Setting Range Step of increment


1 to 999 0.1mm

NOTE
It is necessary to finish the adjustment of Cut Length 1 (No.016) before starting the
adjustment in this Cut Length 3 (No.018).

It is possible to specify the control range of temperature of Fuser Roller.

If you specify some setting value “X” on these No.048 and 049, for example, you can decide the
highest limit and the lowest one of the control range of temperature.
The highest limit is “Fuser Temperature (Decided in No.625 to 648, and 738)” plus the setting
value “X”.
And the lowest one is “Fuser Temperature” minus “X”.

The Fuser Lamp continues to light up when the temperature of Fuser Roller is colder than the
highest limit, and it is put out when the temperature reaches the highest limit.
The Fuser Roller gradually gets colder after that, and the Fuser Lamp lights again when the
temperature reaches the lowest limit.

1. Several solid patches are created on Drum and are measured by Density Sensor at a
regular interval of Main Motor operating time (No.655).
This is called Density Measure.
2. If the current density value (calculated based on Density Measure) does not meet Target
Density (No.653), one of the Adjustment Level listed below will be applied.
3. Developer Bias and Regulation Bias (No.650) will be adjusted based on the current
Adjustment Level.

653 Target Density

NOTE
This setting has been factory-adjusted. Keep the value unchanged.

It is possible to change Target Density that should be achieved and maintained for consistent print
density.
If the current density does not meet Target Density, Regulation (Developer) Bias will be
automatically adjusted based on the current Adjustment Level.
 If the current Density Value is judged “not enough” (lighter than required), the next level will be
applied.
 If the current Density Value is judged “adequate”, the current level remains.
 There is possibility for the Density Value to be judged “too much enough” (darker than
required), then the previous level will be applied.

If you increase the setting value by “+1”, Target Density will rise and thus Auto Adjustment Level
would be switched to the next level earlier.

751 Disable HV Error Detection Mode
“Disable HV Error Detection Mode” functions just as Error Mask Mode for high voltage errors.
This allows the system to ignore service call errors regarding high voltage power supply (E-0031,
E-0032, E-0033, E-0034) and prevents the concerning error code from being displayed both on the
sub UI and the touch screen.
“Disable HV Error Detection Mode” ON is not canceled by turning off the machine, but remains
until set to OFF manually.

Setting value Contents


0 HV error detection works normally.
1 The system ignores any HV Error.

NOTE
TAKE GREAT CARE. The system ignores high voltage errors caused by ANY REASON
while “Disable HV Error Detection Mode” is ON.

8. 13. 4 Scanner Adjustment Procedure
It is possible to make the following scanner adjustment with Scanner Utility.
 Shading (calibration)
 Feed Distance (1:1)
 Position (stitching)

These adjustments are very important because they are greatly related with the image quality.

8. 13. 4. 1 Shading (calibration)


[Purpose of Shading (calibration)]

The pixels on the CIS are not same but they have their own characteristic.
This may be a problem because the inputs (density) from those pixels are uneven although they
read the same image (density).

But the Shading compensates the input from each pixel properly to remove the unevenness
among the pixels.
As a result the even level of input can be expected from every pixel after Shading.

Original (even density)

Dark Dark

Light Light
Before Shading After Shading
(Uneven inputs) (Even inputs)

On Shading adjustment, the pixels on the CIS will be calibrated in the default for R/G/B light
source by using input gaps between black and white on Shading Sheet.
Bar Code

Shading Sheet White Area

Black Area

The TASKalfa 2420w uses R/G/B light sources not only for color reading but also for
monochrome reading. The scanner unit will be calibrated in monochrome/color at the same time.

[Necessary situation]

Shading is required after replacing;


 CIS
 CIS Board
 Main Board

8-135
NOTE
(1) Shading adjustment should be performed with Shading Sheet (P/N: 305JZ70210, with a
bar code).
1 sheet of Shading Sheet is included in the product accessary. Keep it in safe custody.

(2) Shading adjustment should be performed with “Scanner Utility 1.31 or later”.

(3) Please clean Scan Glasses before Shading.

[Operation]

1. Connect the scanner unit and the PC directly with a USB 2.0 Cable.
2. Start Scanner Utility.
3. Select [Calibration] under [Adjust].

4. At first it is required to calibrate all pixels.


Select [All] and then click [Execute].

8-136
5. Set Shading Sheet in the TASKalfa 2420w accessory to the scanner noting the arrow direction.

NOTE
(1) Use the Shading Sheet in the TASKalfa 2420w Accessory.
The Shading Sheet has a bar code on the top right.
Bar code
(2) Handle Shading Sheet with great care. Keep it in safe custody for avoiding dirt, fold or
tear.

6. Click [OK] after setting Shading Sheet, and the scanner reads it.

8-137
NOTE
(1) It takes about 7 minutes to complete Shading adjustment.

(2) A sheet other than Shading Sheet (P/N: 305JZ70210) will be ejected by Scanner Utility’s
auto chart distinction. After that the following confirmation appears.

If you inserted a wrong chart to the scanner, remove it and set the correct Shading Sheet.
Confirm that [Detect inserted chart automatically and perform calibration (Recommended)] is
selected, and press [OK].

8-138
7. When Shading is finished, the following message appears. Click [OK].
Open the scanner and reload Shading Sheet to the scanner and click [Confirm] to check the
result of Shading.

8. The scan image of Shading Sheet is displayed. (It looks gray due to “calibrating” scan)

Scan image of Shading Sheet

8-139
9. Scroll the image right and left to find a strong black/white line that runs vertically in one pixel
wide. If there is no such line in the whole image, click [Close] to finish Shading.

The following picture is an example of the line (due to “defective pixel”).


A defective pixel needs individual pixel calibration in the later steps.

NOTE
Sometimes the density may be different between left and right as the following image.
This is not a problem but it is just the border of image blocks.

8-140
10. If you will calibrate an individual pixel, select [Specified part].

11. Move the pointer onto the scan image, and you will find a kind of red cursor.

red cross cursor defective pixel

8-141
12. Move the red cursor so that its vertical line matches the defective pixel and click it.
The defective pixel is selected by this operation.
If there are some more defective pixels, select them in the same way.

Match the vertical line to a defective pixel.

13. Click [Execute], and the selected “defective pixel” is compensated individually.

14. You will be asked to set Shading Sheet again.


Set Shading Sheet to the scanner and click [OK].
Check the result of Shading again.
When finished, click [Close].

15. Shading (“white balance” / “color” calibration) is completed.

8-142
8. 13. 4. 2 Feed Distance (1:1)
[Purpose of Feed Distance (1:1)]

The lengths between actual original image and scan image may become different each other if you
replace the Feed Roller of the Scanner Unit.
This is caused by the mechanical play that each Feed Roller has.

Actual original image Scan image

“Feed Distance” is the solution for this phenomenon.


It compares the actual original image and the scan image to know how much their lengths are
different.
Then “Feed Distance” calculates the best compensation (motor speed) automatically so that both
images should become as long as each other.

[Necessary situation]

Feed Distance is required when;


 After replacing;
(1) Feed Roller R
(2) Feed Roller F

Also you need to check whether the Feed Distance is proper after replacing the following parts.
(Please record the current setting value before the replacement and input the same value after the
replacement.)
(1) CIS
(2) Main Board

NOTE
(1) Feeding Distance adjustment should be
performed with Scanner Adjustment Chart
(P/N: 305H680020).

(2) Feeding Distance adjustment should be


performed with “Scanner Utility 1.31 or later”.

8-143
[Operation]

1. Measure the actual distance between “a point” and “c point” on the far left area of Scanner
Adjustment Chart, and between “b point” and “d point” on the far right area.

Let’s suppose that each distance is as follows.


Between “a point” and “c point (800)” is “799.7mm”
Between “b point” and “d point (800)” is 799.8mm

8. 13. 4. 3 Position (stitching)
[Purpose of Position (stitching)]

The scanner part of TASKalfa 2420w reads the image of original with 5 - CIS (Contact Image
Sensor). As these CIS are arranged in 2 rows, there occurs a vertical gap of image among the
image blocks. Also the reading area of these 5 pieces of CIS overlaps each other some degree.
As a result there occurs the duplication of image between neighboring Image Block (same image
is commonly included in the neighboring two Image Blocks).

Gap of CIS position

Overlaps of reading area

Vertical gap of image

Duplications of image

“Position” is the solution for these kinds of phenomenon.


It is possible remove the vertical gap of image by vertical positioning process (Y offset).
And it is also possible to remove the duplication of image by horizontal positioning process
(X overlap).
TASKalfa 2420w has the function to adjust X/Y positioning by automatic. After X/Y positioning,
adjustment for the LE (leading edge) positioning should be performed manually.

18
7. Measure the distance (between the top line and the 10th) on the leading part of the prints.
(should be almost 100mm)
Confirm whether the distance on the sample print by Paper Tray matches that of Manual Feeder.

Top line to 10th


(10mm x 10)

The sample print(s) created on step 5 and 6 usually matches the distance, go to step 8.
Please keep the result print (OK sample) for later confirmation.

If it does not match, additional compensation of Paper Tray Motor Speed may be required.
For example:
- Manual Feed: 100.0mm, Paper Tray: 99.2mm  +0.8mm to reach 100.0mm
- Manual Feed: 100.3mm, Paper Tray: 101.0mm  -0.7mm to reach 100.3mm
Follow the instructions below (7-1 to 7-5) to adjust the value of Adjustment Mode.

A4:0871
A3:0872
A2:0873

7-5. Enter a possible required value and press [Apply].

If the distance on the sample print by Paper Tray is longer than that of Manual Feeder,
increase the value. If shorter, decrease.
Increasing the value by 1 makes the distance shrink in about 0.1mm.
For example:
- Manual Feed: 100.0mm, Paper Tray: 99.2mm  +0.8mm (setting value -8)
- Manual Feed: 100.3mm, Paper Tray: 101.0mm  -0.7mm (setting value +7)

Please keep the result print(s) (OK sample) for later confirmation.

21
8. Confirm the leading registration on the OK samples. (should be 3mm +2mm)

To adjust the leading registration, use the following mode No.

A4:No.868
A3:No.869
A2:No.870

To shift the start point of printing images toward the trailing edge (wider leading margin),
increase the value.
Increasing the value by 1 shifts the start point toward the trailing edge in about 0.5mm.

Value increased Value decreased

NOTE
Reducing the value too much may result in a print jam in the exit area or a dirt image.

22
9. Confirm the trailing margin on the OK samples. (should be 5mm +/-2mm)

The sample print(s) usually satisfies the correct trailing margin, go to step 10.

To adjust the trailing margin, use No.781.

For smaller trailing margin, increase the value.


Increasing the value by 1 shortens the trailing margin in about 0.5mm.

Value increased Value decreased

NOTE
Increasing the value too much may result in a print jam in the exit area or a dirt image.

23
10. Confirm the side registration on the OK samples. (should be 3mm +/-2mm)

The sample print(s) usually satisfies the correct side registration, the operation check is done.

To adjust the side registration, use No.782.

To shift the image to the right (wider side margin on the left), increase the value.
Increasing the value by 1 shifts the image to the right in about 0.1mm

Value increased

Value decreased
