f. Avoid areas near a CRT display, disk drive, and floppy disk. (The magnetism from the
cartridge can destroy the data.)
g. Keep it out of reach of children.
h. Keep the temperature between 0° and 35°C (32° and 95°F).
F01-303-01
To fully prevent soling of output images caused by toner leakage, be sure to make 3 to 5
test copies after fitting the cartridge in the machine.

b. Do not place the cartridge on its end or upside down as shown in F01-303-02. Also, do
not swing it.
F01-303-02
c. Do not open the shutter for the photosensitive drum found under the cartridge and touch
the surface of the drum.
d. Do not disassemble the cartridge.
e. Do not subject the cartridge to unnecessary vibration or impact. In particular, do not
force down on the photosensitive drum through the shutter found under the cartridge.
f. Do not keep the cartridge inside the machine when moving the machine. Be sure to put
the cartridge in its protective bag, or wrap it in thick cloth to avoid light.
g. Do not place the cartridge near a CRT display, disk drive, or floppy disk, as the magne-
tism from the cartridge can destroy the data.
h. Keep the cartridge out of reach of children.
i. The photosensitive drum is susceptible to light, thus the presence of a shutter under the
cartridge. If exposed to strong light for a long time, the copies may start to develop
white spots or vertical bands. These faults may disappear if the machine is left at rest for
some time, or the memory (cause of the faults) may remain permanently.
If you must take out the cartridge from the machine, be sure to put it in its
protective bag, or cover it. Never leave it alone unprotected.

j. Advise the user to send all used cartridges to the designated place.
Do not throw a cartridge (used or not used) into fire. It may burst or ex-
plode.
If the photosensitive drum is exposed to 1500 lux (general light) for 5 min
and then left alone for 5 min in a dark place, it may recover to a level that
Memo will not cause practical problems. Nevertheless, avoid direct sunshine by all
means, which is as strong as 10000 to 30000 lux.

The user can make appropriate settings in user mode so that the following reports may be
generated automatically.
Multiple activity report First, enable ‘2. TX REPORT’ under ‘2. REPORT
SETTINGS’ of ‘3. FAX SETTINGS’ on the user
mode menu; a report will be generated if a broad-
cast transmission is used (instead of a TX report).
Memory clear list If the machine remains without power for a spe-
cific period of time (about 2 hr or more) while an
image exists in its memory, the power of the vana-
dium lithium secondary battery (BAT2) will be-
come exhausted. A report will automatically be
generated when the machine is turned on.

The following error codes are associated with the transmission of the RTN
signal at time of reception:
Memo ##104, ##107, ##114, ##201
The RTN signal transmission condition (1) is the ratio of the number of er-
ror lines in relation to the total number of lines per page of reception im-
ages.
The RTN signal transmission condition (2) is the reference value*2 for burst
errors*1.
The RTN signal transmission condition (3) is the number of errors not
reaching the reference value for burst errors.
*1: transmission errors spanning several lines.
*2: If set to ‘15’, a transmission error spanning 5 consecutive lines is
identified as a burst error.
If any of these conditions is detected while an image signal is being revised,
the RTN signal will be transmitted after receiving the procedure signal from
the transmitting machine. A higher parameter will make the transmission of
the RTN signal more difficult.

If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place for installation, con-
densation can develop in its pickup/feeding assembly, causing image faults.
To avoid the condensation, leave the machine unpacked for 1 hr or more so
that it will be fully used to the room temperature.
(The term condensation refers to the development of drops of water on a
mental surface when it is brought from a cold to warm place. This occurs as
a result of rapid cooling of vapor in the air.)

The machine has a cartridge construction, in which the drum, toner housing, primary
charging assembly, developing cylinder, and cleaning blade are designed as a single entity
(items serving as the core of image formation).
It uses SURF as its fixing method, in which a fluorine-coated film is heated by a heater,
and paper is moved between the film and the fixing pressure roller (the image is fused by
the work of heat and pressure.)
The machine’s image formation processes are as follow:

The analog image data read by the contact sensor is converted into digital image data and
sent to the ASIC of the image processor PCB.
The signals from the ADF (copyboard cover) open/close sensor and the contact sensor
home position sensor are sent out to the image processor PCB via the analog processor
PCB.
The image signals (VD0, VD0*) from the image processor PCB is converted into data
used for laser adjustment (to cause the laser diode to emit a laser beam). Also, the generated
laser beam is detected, and the laser beam detection signal (BDI*) is sent to the DC control-
ler PCB.
The main motor/scanner motor is driven according to the drive signals from the DC con-
troller PCB.
The communications with the PC are controlled. The image data from the PC is converted
into print data for the machine, and is sent to the image processor PCB.
Communication Control
Communications with the PC are controlled using a bi-directional parallel interface (IEEE
std 1284-1994) or USB (Ver. 1.1). The communication protocols used for bi-directional
communications include: Nibble, ECP, Rapid Port.
The communication with the image processor PCB by means of a video interface are also
controlled.

The laser beam generated by the laser unit based on the signals from the DC controller
PCB moves through the collimator lens (inside the laser unit) and the cylindrical lens to
reach a 4-face polygon mirror rotating at a constant speed.
When reflected by the 4-face polygon mirror, the laser beam moves through the imaging
lens, and is bent by the reflecting mirror to reach the photosensitive drum. At this time, the
laser beam also is directed to the BD circuit of the laser driver/BD PCB. (F04-301-01)
As the 4-face polygon mirror rotates at a constant speed, the laser beam scans the surface
of the photosensitive drum at a constant speed, thereby removing charges and forming static
images.

5 Pickup/Feeding/Delivery System
5.1 Outline
The machine is not equipped with a paper width detection mechanism. It uses center ref-
erence, in which paper moves centered through the pickup/feeding/delivery path.
The source of paper may be from any of two: cassette and manual feed tray. Once picked
from the cassette or the manual feed tray, the paper is corrected so that any skew is removed
by the registration shutter and is sent as far as the registration roller. Thereafter, the paper is
controlled so that its leading edge matches the leading edge of the image on the photosensi-
tive drum by means of the paper leading edge sensor (PS102); it then is moved through the
transfer, separation, feeding, and fixing assemblies to reach the delivery tray.
The machine is equipped with 5 sensors to monitor the movement of paper; the names
and the functions of these sensors are as follows:
PS103 PS4
PS3 PS101
PS102

Paper is picked up from the cassette under the control of the CPU on the DC controller
PCB and using the drive of the main motor (M1). When the cassette pickup solenoid (SL2)
goes ON, the drive of the main motor (M1) is transmitted to the cassette pickup roller as-
sembly to rotate the cassette pickup roller.
When the cassette pickup roller rotates, a single sheet of paper is separated from the stack
by the separation claws of the cassette, and is sent as far as the registration shutter by way of
the vertical path roller.

If the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) does not detect paper within a specific period of
time after the cassette pickup roller has started to rotate, the machine will start to rotate the
cassette pickup roller once again to execute a retry pickup operation.
If the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) still does not detect paper within a specific pe-
riod of time after the machine executes a retry pickup operation once, the machine will iden-
tify the condition as a jam and will indicate a jam message on the LCD.
The machine detects the size of paper in the cassette in any of two ways: LGL size detec-
tion and non-LGL size detection.
LGL detection is performed by means of a LGL paper sensor (PS101). The LGL size de-
tection mechanism is used to prevent picking up a subsequent sheet of paper before the trail-
ing edge of paper leaves the cassette, otherwise occurring if the pickup was let to occur at
the same time using other sizes when picking up LGL paper.
Non-LGL detection is performed using the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) based on
the length of paper. In fax mode, if paper of a size different from the size selected from the
control panel is placed, the DC controller will identify a paper size mismatch at the end of
printing and indicate a message on the LCD.

Paper is picked up from the manual feed tray under the control of the CPU on the DC
controller PCB and using the drive of the main motor (M1). When the manual feed pickup
solenoid (SL1) goes ON, the drive of the main motor (M1) is transmitted as far as the
manual feed pickup roller assembly to rotate the manual feed pickup roller.
The sheets of paper stacked in the manual feed tray are lifted by the work of a spring and
forced against the manual feed pickup roller. Thereafter, a single sheet of paper is separated
by the work of the manual feed pickup roller and the separation pad, and is moved as far as
the registration shutter.

The machine is not equipped with a paper width detection mechanism; for this reason, if
paper with a limited width is used in continuous printing, the ends of the fixing heater
would overheat. To prevent overheating, the machine switches among 3 copying speeds with
reference to the readings of the sub thermistor.
1. Normally, the machine reduces the speed to 4 ppm when the reading of the sub ther-
mistor reaches 245°C/473°F or higher.
2. The machine will further reduce the copying speed to 3 ppm if the reading of the sub
thermistor reaches 255°C/491°F or higher after it has reduced it to 4 ppm.
3. The machine will further reduce the copying speed to 2 ppm if the reading of the sub
thermistor reaches 260°C/500°F or higher after it has reduced it to 3 ppm.

6 Fixing System
6.1 Outline
The fixing pressure roller and the delivery roller are driven by the main motor.
The paper separated from the photosensitive drum is moved to the inside of the fixing as-
sembly; the paper is then moved outside it after the toner is fused to the paper by the work
of the fixing film and the fixing pressure roller.
The delivery sensor (PS3) is used to detect paper coming out of the fixing assembly.

The fixing film unit has a plate-shaped fixing heater built into it for heating the fixing
film.
The fixing heater is equipped with 2 thermistor: a main thermistor in the middle and a sub
thermistor at the end. The main thermistor is used to control the temperature of the fixing
heater and to detect its overheating, while the sub thermistor is used to detect an error tem-
perature on the end of the fixing heater.
The CPU on the DC controller PCB monitors the main thermistor signal (FSRTH) and the
sub thermistor signal (SUBTH) from the thermistors for control of the fixing heater drive
signal (FSRD0) and the relay drive signal (RLYD), thus varying the supply of power to the
heater and, ultimately, controlling the temperature of the fixing heater.

The CPU on the DC controller PCB executes the following 4 types of fixing temperature
control:
The control temperature targets are switched in reference to the following 4 conditions:
• paper type (as indicated by a command during printing)
• type of control (cover paper or between sheets)
• change in fixing temperature control (OFF → start-up → paper passage, etc.)
• count of prints in continuous mode

The machine is equipped with a fixing film bias control mechanism which is controlled
by the CPU on the DC controller PCB. The fixing film bias is used to prevent displacement
of toner deposits; i.e., when the primary charging roller DC bias is applied, a bias of the
same polarity as the toner is applied to the fixing film so as to create a magnetic field be-
tween the paper and the film.

The fixing heater safety circuit is part of the DC controller PCB, and is used to monitor
the fixing temperature for an error at all times. If the output voltage for the main thermistor
or the sub thermistor reaches about 0.37 V or lower (about 310°C/590°F), the relay will be
turned off regardless of the state of the relay drive signal (RLYD) from the CPU to shut the
power to the fixing heater.
If the temperature of the fixing heater increases abnormally, on the other hand, to exceed
about 230°C/446°F, the thermal fuse will melt to cut the power to the fixing heater.
The CPU on the DC controller PCB will identify a fault in the fixing assembly if any of
the following conditions (a through f) occurs; as a result,
• it will cut the power to the fixing heater.
• it will cause the relay drive signal (RYLD) to go ‘1’ to turn off the relay and, at the
same time, will communicate the presence of a fault to the image processor PCB.

8.1.1 Outline
The machine is equipped with a single fan at the rear of the delivery assembly to cool the
laser scanner unit, to discharge heat from around the fixing assembly, to cool the elements
of the PCBs, and to discharge ozone.
The fan is controlled by the CPU on the DC controller PCB for the following:
The CPU on the DC controller PCB generates the fan drive signal (FANON) based on the
state of the fan stop signal (FANSTOP; 0: reset, 1: rotate) and the full-speed/half-speed
switch signal (FANHALF; 0: half-speed, 1: full-speed) to control the fan rotation to any of

The machine’s image processor PCB is equipped with a lithium battery (BAT1) and a va-
nadium lithium secondary battery (BAT2) for back-up of the data in the SRAM and the
SDARM in consideration of a power outage or when the power is turned off.
The lithium battery (BAT1) and the vanadium lithium secondary battery
(BAT2) contain combustible material (lithium, organic solvent), and can
burst or burn in flames if thrown into fire.
Take full care in handling the batteries, as taking them apart can cause the
organic solvent to leak to damage the skin. To dispose, be sure to separate
them from other items and observe appropriate rules.
The data backed up in the SRAM by the lithium battery (BAT1) contains user data for fax
functions, communications control data, and service mode settings.
The LCD will indicate ‘DATA ERROR’ when the power is tuned on after the lithium bat-
tery (BAT1) has reached the end of its life. If such a condition has occurred, be sure to re-
place the image processor PCB according to the instructions given in 1.4.1 of Chapter 7.
If you disconnect the jumper plug (JP1) of the image processor PCB and
turn off the power, all control data will be reset to default settings. Do not
disconnect the jumper plug (JP1) to prevent the loss of data.
The pin of the jumper plug (JP1) is displaced on the image processor PCB
available as a service part so as to prevent exhaustion of the lithium battery
Memo
(BAT1).

The data backed up by the vanadium lithium secondary battery (BAT2) is image data used
for fax transmission/reception, and it does not include the image data for memory copying.
Back-up time: about 2 hr (assuming that the machine is kept ON for 5 day or more un-
der normal temperature/pressure conditions)
Battery life: about 5 yr or after repeating charging and discharging 40 times at 100%
If the backup data cannot be stored longer than half the indicated period (even after the
machine has been powered for 5 day or longer under normal temperature and atmospheric
conditions), suspect that the battery has reached the end of its life.

The ADF picks up and moves originals under the control of the CPU on the host
machine’s image processor PCB and using the drive of the ADF motor (M3).
When the host machine’s Start key is pressed, with an original placed in the original tray,
the ADF motor starts to rotate counterclockwise and the pickup roller moves down to move
up the original stopper. At the same time, the original pickup roller and the original separa-
tion roller start to rotate.
When the original pickup roller and the original separation roller rotate, a single original
is separated by the work of the original separation roller and the original separation pad, and
its leading edge is detected by the registration sensor. The original is then sent as far as the
ADF registration roller; a specific period of time after the registration sensor detects the
leading edge, the ADF motor starts to rotate clockwise to move up the original pickup roller
and move down the original stopper.
The ADF motor rotates clockwise to rotate the ADF registration roller, white roller, origi-
nal feed roller, and original delivery roller to move and deliver the original.

9.2.2 Moving Down the Original Pickup Roller and Moving Up the Original
Stopper
The original pickup roller is kept in up position during standby, thereby ensuring a gap
used to accommodate a stack of originals. The original stopper is kept in down position dur-
ing standby to prevent the original from sliding too far inside the machine when it is placed.
When the ADF motor (M3) rotates counterclockwise to start original pickup operation,
the drive of the timing belt moves down the original pickup roller and, at the same time, the
original stopper starts to move up, causing an original to be picked up and sent inside the
machine.

2.Troubleshooting
A fault that can occur in the machine may be one of the following three: an image fault, a
malfunction, a feeding fault.
If a fault occurs, make initial checks first; then, isolate the problem according to the
troubleshooting flow chart, and take appropriate action with the following in mind:
2.1.4 Others
When a machine is brought from a cold to warm place, its inside can start to develop con-
densation, leading to various problems; for example,
a. condensation in the charging roller system tends to cause electrical leakage.
b. condensation on the pickup/feed path tends to cause a feeding fault.
If condensation occurs, dry wipe the parts or leave the machine ON for 60 min.

Switch #3 NUMERIC param.
• Loosen the RTN signal transmission condition:
Increase the settings of No.02, 03, and 04.
No.02 is used to set the ratio of the number of error lines to the total number of lines per
page (1% to 99%).
No.03 is used to set the burst error (number of successive error lines identified as an er-
rors) ; (2 to 99 lines).
No.04 is used to set the number of errors falling short of a burst error (1 to 99 times).
4.5.3.8 Echo Protect Tone: SW03 bit 1 of Service Soft Switch #1 SSSW
• Add an echo protect tone to the V.29 modem signal for transmission:
When SW03 bit 1 is set to ‘1’, an echo protect tone will be added to high-speed trans-
mission V.29 (at 9600 or 7200 bps) for transmission.
4.5.3.9 Number of Final Flag Sequences: SW04 bit 2 of Service Soft Switch #1
SSSW
• Increase the number of final flag sequences:
When SW04 bit 2 is set to ‘1’, the number of final flag sequences will be increased from
1 to 2 for a procedure signal (transmitted at 300 bps).

4.5.3.10 Subaddress
A subaddress is used to indicate the location of a memory box in the other party (e.g.,
confidential mailbox, polling box), and it consists of 20 or fewer characters (numerals, *,
#, space). As log as the other party complies with the International Standards of ITU-T, the
machine can communicate with it by means of subaddresses.
At times, an ID number (referred to as a “password”) is used to restrict access to a loca-
tion indicated by a subaddress.
With some models, polling based on subaddresses is called “selective polling”, and a
subaddress used at time of polling is called a “selective polling address”.
4.5.3.11 Password
A password used by a Canon facsimile machine may be any of the following:
Password for Subaddress Communications:
This is an ID number used for a subaddress communication and, as in the case of a
subaddress, it consists of 20 or fewer characters (numerals, *, #, space).
Communication Password:
This is an ID number used for a password communication. Some models use 4 decimal
characters (0000 through 9999), while some use 3 decimal characters (000 through 255).
4.5.3.12 Signals
Tonal Signal:
A tonal signal consists of sinusoidal waves of a specific frequency, and may be thought
of as a sound carrying a meaning. CNG, CED, and ANSam are tonal signals.
Binary Signal:
A binary signal is used to indicate the meaning of a procedure. It is either ‘1’ or ‘0’,
modulated according to frequency, and is used as G3 procedure signals.
Procedure Signal:
It is a generic term for a tonal signal and a binary signal.
Preamble:
It is a signal attached to the beginning of a binary signal, and is used to synchronize mo-
dem signals for a procedure signal.
Image Signal:
Of procedure signals, it is used for actual transmission of image data.
Significant Signal:
It is a signal whose significance can be understood by a facsimile machine that receives
it, and it is free of a transmission error.
