INTRODUCTION

The descriptions in this Service Manual are based on he following rules:


1. In each chapter, the uses of the function in question and its relationship to electrical and
mechanical systems are discussed and the timing of operation of its associated parts is
explained by means of outlines and diagrams.
In the diagrams, the symbol represents a mechanical path, while the symbol
with a name next to it indicates the flow of an electric signal.
The expression “turn on the power” means turning on the power switch, closing the
front cover, and closing the delivery cover so that the machine will be supplied with
power.
2. In circuit diagrams (digital), a signal whose level is High is expressed as being ‘1’,
while a single whose level is Low is expressed as being ‘0’; the level of voltage, how-
ever, varies from circuit to circuit.
The machine uses CPUs, whose internal mechanisms cannot be checked in the field,
and, therefore, are not explained. In addition, the machine’s PCBs are not intended for
repairs at the user’s and, therefore, are explained by means of block diagrams: two types
are used, i.e., between sensors and inputs of PCBs equipped with a control or drive
function and between outputs equipped with a control or drive function and loads; in ad-
dition, functional block diagrams are used at times.

Changes made to the machine for product improvement are communicated in the form of
a Service Information bulletin as needed. All service persons are expected to go through all
service documentation including the bulletins and be equipped to respond to the needs of
the field (as by being able to identify possible causes of problems).

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

3 Safety and Warnings


3.1 Safety of Laser Light
3.1.1 Safety of the Laser Unit
The radiation from a laser until can be harmful to the human body. The machine’s laser
optical unit is sealed by means of a protective housing and external covers, so that the light
it produces will not escape outside, ensuring the safety of the user as long as the machine is
used under normal conditions.

3.1.2 CDRH Requirements


The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the US Department of Health
and Human Services put into force a set of requirements with a view to regulating laser-re-
lated products on August 2, 1976. The requirements apply to laser products produced on
August 1, 1996, or later, and all laser products must comply with them if they are to be mar-
keted in the US. The following is the label that indicates the compliance with the CDRH re-
quirements, and it must be attached to all laser products that are sold in the US.

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

3.1.3 Handling the Laser Unit


When servicing the area around the machine’s laser optical unit, take full care not to put
any tool with a high reflectance (e.g., screwdriver) into the laser path. Be sure also to re-
move any watch, ring, or the like, as they can reflect the laser beam to damage your eye. The
machine’s laser light is red, and its covers that can reflect the laser beam are identified using
the following label. The laser scanner unit of this model cannot be adjusted in the field.

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

3.2 Safety of the Toner


The machine’s toner is a non-toxic material consisting of plastic, iron, and small amounts
of dye. If toner came into contact with your skin or clothes, remove as much of it as possible
with dry tissue, and wash with water. Do not use hot water, as it will turn the toner into a
jelly and cause it to permanently fuse with the fibers of the clothes. Also, do not bring toner
into contact with vinyl material, as they are likely to react against each other.

Do not throw toner into fire. It may explode.

3.3 Storing and Handling the Cartridge


Whether it is left packed or unpacked, or is fitted to the machine, the cartridge is subject
to the effects of the environment, and will deteriorate over time. The speed of deterioration
depends on the site or storage condition, and cannot be generalized. Take full care when
storing or handing it.

3.3.1 Storing a Cartridge Before Unpacking

If the cartridge is to be stored in a storeroom or a workshop, be sure to refer to T01-303-


01, and keep the following in mind:
• Avoid direct sunshine.
• Avoid vibration.
• Avoid impact. (Take care not to drop it.)

T01-303-01

3.3.2 Storing or Handling the Cartridge After Unpacking

The photosensitive medium is made of organic photo-conducting material (OPC), and


will deteriorate if exposed to strong light. It is also used to hold toner inside it. Be sure to
advise the user to be fully careful when storing and handling the cartridge. (The cartridge
must always be put inside a protective bag for storage.)

3.3.2.1 Storing After Unpacking


a. Use a protective bag for storage.
b. Avoid areas subject to direct sunshine (e.g., near a window). Do not leave it alone inside
a card, as the temperature can rise to an extremely high level. (These are also true even if
the cartridge is put in a protective bag.)
c. Avoid areas subject to high temperature/humidity or low temperature/humidity, areas
subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity, or areas subject to condensation
(e.g., near an air conditioner).
d. Avoid areas exposed to corrosive gas (e.g., insecticide) or salty air.
e. Avoid areas subject to dust, ammonium gas, or organic solvent gas.

COPYRIGHT © 2001 CANON INC. 2000 2000 2000 2000 CANON SmartBase PC1200s/iR1200s REV. 0 DEC. 2001 1-21

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

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).

3.3.2.2 Points to Note When Handling the Cartridge


a. When fitting the cartridge to the machine, on if white spots start to occur in copy images
caused by decreasing toner, hold the cartridge level as shown in F01-303-01, and rock it
about 90° to both sides 5 to 6 times, thereby evening out the toner inside it. Do not
shake the cartridge in ways not indicated; otherwise, toner can start to leak from the
cleaner assembly.

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.

1-22 COPYRIGHT © 2001 CANON INC. 2000 2000 2000 2000 CANON SmartBase PC1200s/iR1200s REV. 0 DEC. 2001

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

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.

CHAPTER 1 PRODUCT OUTLINE

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.

out of paper).
If set to ‘1’, the machine will generate a memory clear list and enters standby state when
the image data is cleared and the power is turned on.

If set to ‘1’, moreover, the following takes place:


1. The alarm sounds, and the machine waits for correction; specifically,
a. The LCD indicates ‘CHECK PRINTER’.
b. The machine will not start reception operation in response to arrival of data.
2. When an appropriate correction is made, the machine will automatically generate a
memory clear list. If an error (e.g., jam) occurs during output, the machine goes back to
1. above.

If set to ‘0’, on the other hand, the machine will sound the alarm and enters standby state.

CHAPTER 2 USING THE MACHINE

[No. 02. 03, 04]


Use it to set conditions for RTN signal transmission. If an error occurs often when the
RTN signal is transmitted at time of reception, increase the parameters to loosen the RTN
signal transmission conditions.

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.

[No. 05]
Use it to set the length of item (pause) automatically put between the access code an the
ID code when a number is dialed on an NCC (new common carrier) line.

[No. 06]
Use it to set the length of time (pause) automatically put between the ID code and the
telephone number of the other party when a number is dialed on an NCC (new common car-
rier) line.

[No. 09]
Use it to set the number of TSI comparison digits (last XX digits) for a telephone number
cross check.

[No. 10]
Use it to set the length of time for line connection identification. If an error occurs often
because of the line condition at time of a communication, increase the parameter.

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION

1 Selecting the Site


The site must meet the following requirements; if possible, visit the user’s before the ma-
chine is delivered:

1. The site must offer a power outlet whose rating is as indicated 230 volts (±10%) and
which may be used exclusively for the machine.

2. The site temperature must be between 0° and 35°C (32° and 95°F) and between 35%
and 85% humidity. Avoid an area near a water faucet, water boiler, humidifier, and re-
frigerator.

3. The site must not be near a source of fire, or must not be subject to dust or ammonium
gas. Also, avoid areas exposed to direct rays of the sun; if necessary, provide curtains.

4. The level of ozone generated by the machine while in use will not affect the health of
the human body. However, some individuals may find its odor unpleasant. Be sure to
ventilate the room well to provide a good working environment.

5. The machine will have to be at least 10cm/3.9" from any wall, offering enough space for
its use.

CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION

2 Unpacking and Installing the Machine


2.1 Before Starting
Go through the following before starting to install the machine:

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.)

2.2 Installation Procedure


Install the machine in the following order; for details, see the appropriate sections that fol-
low; after installation, be sure to clean up the area around the machine:
1. unpacking

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

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:

Step 1 Primary charging (AC and negative DC)


Step 2 Laser exposure
Step 3 Development (AC and negative DC)
Step 4 Transfer (positive DC)
Step 5 Separation
Step 6 Fixing
Step 7 Drum cleaning

The control panel control block receives the state of control keys while sending/receiving
data in serial communication with the control IC of the control panel PCB. Also, it sends
LED and LCD signals to the control panel PCB.

Image Processing Control Block


The image processing control block has the following functions:
• It subjects the digital image data from the analog processor PCB to enlargement/re-
duction processing, shading correction, smoothing, and other image processing,
thereby converting it to 600x600-dpi image signals (VD0, VD0*).
• It converts the analog image data from fax communication into 600x600-dpi image
signals (VD0, VD0*).
• It uses a horizontal sync signal (BD0*) as a trigger to send image signals (VD0,
VD0*) to the laser unit.
• The image data from the contact sensor is re-arranged, and the intensity of the contact
sensor LED is controlled.

Sensor Detection
It detects the state of each sensor of the rear unit and the ADF.

ESS Control
It controls the ESS function used to reduce the power consumption while the machine is
in standby state.

Memory Function
The 8MB (as mounted) SDRAM used for the storage of image data is capable of storing
about 79 pages in fax reception made of Canon Fax Standard Chart No.1. The image data is
backed up by a vanadium lithium secondary battery (BAT2), so that it remains intact for
about 2 hr after the machine is deprived of power. The 128-KB SRAM is used to store user
data and service data, and is backed up by a lithium battery (BAT1) so that the data may be
retained for about 5 yr after the machine is deprived of power.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

3 Laser Exposure System


3.1 Outline
The laser scanner unit consists of the following major components:
• laser unit, which serves as the source of laser beam.
• laser scanner motor, equipped with a 4-face mirror for laser scanning.
• laser driver/BD PCB used to detect laser beam or to control emission of laser beam.

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

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:

Notation Name Function


PS3 Delivery sensor Detects the state of paper in the delivery assembly.
PS4 Manual feed tray paper sensor Detects the presence/absence of paper in the manual
feed tray.
PS101 LGL paper sensor Detects paper inside the cassette to see if it is of LGL
size.
PS102 Paper leading edge sensor Detects the leading edge and trailing edge of paper to
measure its length. Also, it controls the timing of acti-
vation of the laser.
PS103 Cassette paper sensor Detects the presence/absence of paper in the cassette.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

5.2 Pickup Operation


5.2.1 Pickup from the Cassette
5.2.1.1 Outline

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

5.2.1.2 Retry Pickup

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.

5.2.1.3 Detecting the Size of Paper

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

5.2.2 Pickup from the Manual Feed Tray


5.2.2.1 Outline

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 paper moved as far as the registration shutter by the work of the various pick opera-
tions is corrected for skew movement when it is butted against the registration roller.
When the paper moves past the registration assembly, the paper leading edge sensor
(PS102) detects its leading edge, thereby ensuring that the leading edge of the paper will
match the leading edge of the image on the photosensitive drum. Thereafter, the paper is
moved past the photosensitive drum and then is moved over the transfer charging roller, fix-
ing pressure roller, and delivery roller.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

5.4 Reducing the Copying Speed


5.4.1 Outline

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

5.5 Detecting Jams


5.5.1 Outline

The machine is equipped with 6 sensors used to detect jams.


The presence/absence of paper is checked with reference to the state of each sensor at
such times as stored in the CPU on the DC controller PCB. When the machine detects a jam,
it will turn off the main motor (M1) and will indicate a jam message on the LCD.

5.5.2 Types of Jams

The machine groups jams into 8 types. When a jam occurs, be sure to remove it, and start
over the operation.

a. Pickup Delay Jam


After execution of a pickup retry, the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) does not detect
the leading edge of paper within a specific period of time, or no paper exists at time of a
pickup retry.

b. Paper Leading Edge Sensor Stationary Jam


After the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) has detected the leading edge of paper, the
paper leading edge sensor (PS102) does not detect the trailing edge of paper within a spe-
cific period of time.

c. Delivery Sensor Leading Edge Delay Jam


After the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) has detected the leading edge of paper, the
delivery sensor (PS3) does not detect the trailing edge of paper within a specific period of
time.

d. Fixing Wrap Jam


After the delivery sensor (PS3) has detected the leading edge of paper, the delivery sensor
(PS3) detects the absence of paper before a specific period of time.

e. Delivery Sensor Trailing Edge Delay Jam


After the delivery sensor (PS3) has detected the leading edge of paper, the delivery sensor
(PS3) does not detect the trailing edge of paper within a specific period of time.

f. Delivery Sensor Stationary Jam


• As part of operation after a pickup delay jam, the delivery sensor (PS3) detects the
trailing edge of paper; however, the delivery sensor (PS3) once again detects the trail-
ing edge of paper, the laser is forced OFF, and a specific period of time passes.
• As part of operation after a pickup delay jam, the delivery sensor (PS3) detects paper,
the laser is forced OFF, and a specific period of time passes.
• At time of cleaning the fixing pressure roller, the trailing edge of paper does not move
past the delivery sensor (PS3; i.e., the sensor does not go OFF) within a specific pe-
riod of time.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

g. Auto Delivery Jam


• When the fixing heater is started, the paper leading edge sensor (PS102) detects the
presence of paper.
• The paper group is not known or the paper last subjected to length detection is identi-
fied as being LTR or larger; under either of these conditions, the delivery sensor (PS3)
detects paper within 2 sec after the fixing heater starts.
• The size of the paper last subjected to length detection is identified as being LTR or
larger, and the delivery sensor (PS3) detects paper within 2 sec after the main motor
starts.
• While auto delivery is under way, the machine identifies the absence of a cartridge.

h. Door Open Jam


During printing, the reader unit slide detecting switch (SW1) has detected movement
(sliding) for the reader unit.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

6.2 Controlling the Fixing Operation


6.2.1 Controlling the Fixing Temperature

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

The CPU on the DC controller PCB executes the following 4 types of fixing temperature
control:

• Start-Up Temperature Control


In response to a print command from the image processor PCB, the temperature of the
fixing heater is started up to a level 15°C/59°F lower than paper passage control temperature
target.

• Paper Passage Temperature Control


While printing is taking place, the fixing heater temperature is controlled so that it is iden-
tical with the paper passage control temperature target.

• Sheet-to-Sheet Temperature Control


To prevent overheating of areas not covered by paper (between sheets), the fixing heater
temperature is controlled to a level relatively lower than the paper passage control tempera-
ture target.

• Rest Heating Temperature Control


While the machine is at rest, the fixing pressure roller is heated so that the toner collecting
on it is melted and moved to the fixing film, thereby ridding the roller of toner.
The rest heating control mechanism is used to control the temperature of the fixing heater
to a level lower than the paper passage target level when LTR or larger paper is used for
printing.

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

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

6.2.2 Controlling the Fixing Film Bias

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.

6.2.3 Fixing Heater Safety Mechanism

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.

6.2.4 Detecting a Fault in the Fixing Assembly

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

a. Overheating 1 (all conditions)


The CPU will identify overheating 1 if the main thermistor detects 230°C/446°F for 1 sec
or more continuously.

b. Start-Up Error 1 (start-up)


The CPU will identify start-up error 1 if a level of temperature lower than 120°C/248°F is
detected for 1 sec or more continuously 10 sec after the heater is supplied with power.

c. Start-Up Error 2 (startup/paper passage)

paper passage temperature control target is not detected at all 75 sec after the heater is sup-
plied with power.

d. Temperature Control Low Temperature Error (paper passage/sheet-to-sheet/rest


heating/temperature control)
The CPU will identify a temperature control low condition error if a level of temperature
lower than 120°C/248°F is detected for 1 sec or more continuously in paper passage, sheet-
to-sheet, rest heating, or temperature control state.

e. Main thermistor Open Circuit (all conditions)


The CPU will identify main thermistor open circuit if the A/D conversion value of the
output voltage from the main thermistor is in excesss of a specific value for 1 sec or more.

f. Overheating 2 (all conditions)


The CPU will identify overheating 2 if the sub thermistor detects 300°C/572°F or higher
for 0.2 sec over more continuously.

g. Sub Thermistor Error Low Temperature 1 (warm-up)


The CPU will identify sub thermistor error low temperature 1 if the temperature reading is
lower than 75°C/167°F for 1 sec or more 10 sec after the heater is first supplied with power.

h. Sub Thermistor Error Low Temperature 2 (cool-down)


The CPU will identify sub thermistor error low temperature 2 if all the following condi-
tions exit when the heater is off after printing ends and the trailing edge of the paper moves
past the delivery sensor.
• the thermistor reading is lower than 75°C/167°F when the heater is off.
• printing has not been cancelled in the middle.
• no error has occurred during printing.
• the thermistor reading is lower than 75°C/167°F before the trailing edge of the paper
moves past the delivery sensor.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

7.1.2 Protective Functions


The power supply PCB is equipped with an over-current/over-voltage protection mecha-
nism to prevent damage to the power circuit in the event of an over-current or over-voltage,
as caused by a short circuit or the like on the load side. If the over-current/over-voltage pro-
tective mechanism has gone ON, disconnect the power cord, and correct the fault; then, con-
nect the power cord once again to reset the machine. If short circuiting and resetting are re-
peated, the internal fuse (F1, F2, F101) can melt.

7.2 High-Voltage Power Supply Circuit


The high voltage output circuit is built into the DC controller PCB.
The CPU on the DC controller PCB sends instructions for the generation of the following
high voltages at specific timing:
• primary charging roller bias (AC voltage + DC negative voltage)
• developing bias (AC voltage + DC negative voltage)
• transfer charging roller bias (DC positive voltage or DC negative voltage)

7.3 Controlling the ESS Mechanism


7.3.1 Outline
The machine is equipped with an ESS mechanism to limit the consumption of power in
standby as much as possible. The ESS function is controlled by the image processor PCB,
and the machine shifts to ESS mode when the Energy Saver key in the control panel is
pressed or the machine remains in standby state for a specific period of time.
The standby period after which the ESS mode is started is set in user mode: 3 to 30 min
(factory default: 5 min).

7.3.2 Operation
While the machine remains in ESS mode, all in the control panel except the LED indica-
tor of the Energy Saver key will remain OFF. The machine will not shift to ESS mode under
any of the following conditions:
• The shift to ESS mode is not enabled in user mode.
• A jam or a service error occurred, and the Alarm lamp is ON. (In the case of the ab-
sence of toner or paper, the machine shifts to ESS mode in the absence of paper.)
• The image memory contains image data.*1
While the machine is in ESS mode, it will shift out of the state in response to a press on
the Energy Saver key; in addition, it will automatically shift out of the state under any of the
following conditions:
• Print data arrives from the PC.
• A fax arrives.*1
• Off-hook state is detected.*1
• A report output time occurs.*1
• A timer call time occurs.*1
*1: Only if equipped with fax functions.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

8 Others
8.1 Fan
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:

• full-speed rotation while the main motor is in operation.


• full-speed rotation for 30 sec and half-speed rotation for 60 sec after the main motor
stops.
• full-speed rotation for 30 sec and half-speed rotation for 60 sec during WAIT.

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
three: rest, half-speed, full-speed.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

8.2 Back-Up Batteries


8.2.1 Back-Up Function
8.2.1.1 Outline

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.

8.2.1.2 Lithium Battery (BAT1)

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.

Battery life: about 5 yr

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).

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

8.2.1.3 Vanadium Lithium Secondary Battery (BAT2)

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.

If the foregoing back-up time is exceeded, the image data stored in


SDRAM will be lost. To prevent loss of image data for service work or re-
location, be sure to print out the image data stored in SDRAM before start-
ing the work.

Memory Clear List


If the memory clear list is automatically printed when the machine is turned
Memo on, the image data indicated on the list is the data that was lost without
back-up. After the list is printed, the image data storage and the control in-
formation will automatically be deleted. The following is a sample of the

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

9 ADF (if equipped with ADF functions)


9.1 Outline
The ADF is a feeding device used exclusively for stream reading, and its series of opera-
tions (original pickup, feeding, delivery) is performed using the drive of the ADF motor
(M3).
An original picked from the original placement assembly is controlled so that its move-
ment will match the read start timing of the host machine’s contact sensor. Then, the original
is moved as far as stream reading position, read by the contact sensor (for collection of ana-
log image data), and sent to the delivery assembly.
The ADF has 3 sensors to monitor the state of the original. The names and the functions
of the sensors are as follows:

Symbol Sensor Function


PS6 Original sensor Detects the presence/absence of an original in the
original placement assembly.
PS7 Registration sensor Detects the timing at which the leading edge of an
original is made to arch at the ADF registration
roller.
PS8 Original delivery sensor Monitors the movement of the original in the origi-
nal delivery assembly.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

9.2 Picking Up and Moving Originals


9.2.1 Outline

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

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.

CHAPTER 4 OPERATION

9.3 Detecting an Original Jam


9.3.1 Outline
The ADF is equipped with 2 sensors to detect original jams. The CPU on the host
machine’s image processor PCB checks the presence of paper over the sensor at such times
as stored in advance; if it identifies a jam, it turns off the ADF motor (M3) and indicates a
jam message on the LCD.

9.3.2 Types of Jams


The machine identifies a jam as one of 6 types. When a jam has occurred, be sure to re-
move it, open and then close the ADF, place the original once again, and start over.

a. Registration Sensor Delay Jam


After separation is started, the registration sensor (PS7) does not detect the leading edge
of paper within a specific period of time.

b. Registration Sensor Stationary Jam


After the registration sensor (PS7) detects the leading edge of paper, it detects the trailing
edge of paper before a specific period of time.

d. Original Delivery Sensor Delay Jam


After the registration sensor (PS7) detects the leading edge of paper, the original delivery
sensor (PS8) does not detect the leading edge of paper within a specific period of time.

e. Delivery Sensor Stationary Jam


After the registration sensor (PS7) detects the trailing edge of paper, the original delivery
sensor (PS8) does not detect the trailing edge of paper within a specific period of time.

f. ADF Open Jam


While an original is being moved, the host machine’s ADF (copyboard cover) open/close
sensor (PS2) detects a condition indicating that the ADF is open.

PS8 (for jam a, d, or e)

PS7 (for jam a, b, or c)

PS2 (for jam f)

CHAPTER 5 MECHANICAL SYSTEM

1 Points to Note When Disassembling/Assembling


the Machine
The mechanical characteristics and sequences of operation are described together with ex-
planations of how the machine may be disassembled and assembled; keep the following in
mind when disassembling/assembling the machine:

1. Disconnect the power plug and the modular cable in advance for safety. Be sure also
to disconnect all cables used to connector the machine to the PC.
2. Reverse the steps used to disassemble the machine when assembling the machine, i.e.,
unless otherwise stated.
3. Identify the screws by type (length, diameter) and location.
4. The mounting screws for the grounding wire and varistors come with a toothed washer
to ensure electrical continuity. Be sure not to leave out the washers.
5. Do not, as a rule, operate the machine with any of its parts removed.
6. Touch a metal portion of the machine before handling PCBs and contact sensor, thereby
protecting PCBs against static damage.

CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING

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 Making Initial Checks

1. If you are using a specific terminal of a connector to measure voltage, be


sure to check that the connector is not suffering from poor contact.
2. If you are handling a PCB or the contact sensor, be sure to touch a metal
portion of the machine before starting the work to avoid static damage.
3. The machine’s laser scanner unit cannot be adjusted in the field. Do not
disassemble it.

2.1.1 Site Environment


a. The power source must provide the rated voltage ±10%.
b. The site must be free of high temperature/humidity (not near a water faucet, water
boiler, humidifier), and must not be in a cold place, near a source of fire, or subject to
dust.
c. The site must be free of ammonium gas.
d. The site must be free of direct rays of the sun; otherwise, it must be provided with cur-
tains.
e. The site must be well ventilated.
f. The machine must be level.
g. If the machine is equipped with fax functions, it must remain powered day and night.

2.1.2 Checking the Cartridge


If the surface of the photosensitive drum has scratches, replace the cartridge.

2.1.3 Checking the Paper


a. Is the paper of a recommended type?
b. Is the paper moist? Try fresh paper out of package.

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.

CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING

*1: When executing test printing, be sure to select the source of paper used by the user
when the fault occurred.
*2: For malfunctions related to the ADF, see the descriptions of faults unique to machines
equipped with ADF functions. Likewise, if a malfunction occurs while printing from a
PC or a fax communication, see its respective section (those unique to printer functions
or those unique to fax functions).

2.3 Making Checks in Response to an Image Fault


When you have indicated an image fault using the troubleshooting flow chart, go through
the following before starting troubleshooting work that follows:

2.3.1 Checking the Originals Against the Symptom


Determine whether the fault is caused by the machine or the original:
a. The copy density is best set to index 5 ± 2.
b. Originals with a bluish background tend to cause poor contrast; e.g., blue sheet, receipts.
c. The density of the original affects its copies: e.g., a diazo copy original or an original
with a high transparency can produce output that can be mistaken for “foggy copies,”
while originals prepared in light pencil can produce output that can be mistaken for
“light” copies.

2.3.2 Copyboard Glass and White Sheet


If the copyboard glass or the white sheet is soiled, wipe it with a moist cloth and then dry
wipe it. If the dirt is excessive, use alcohol and lint-free paper. If there are scratches, replace
it.

CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING

4.5.2 Service Error Code Output


If ‘1’ is set to service data #1 SSSW SW01 bit 0, an appropriate service error code will be
indicated on the following reports if a communication ends in error: communication control
report, reception result report, error transmission report.
When an error occurs, you can generate a system dump list in service mode to check the
code.

4.5.3 Error Codes


The error codes used in the machine are defined as follows:

4.5.3.1 Transmission Level (ATT): No.07 of Service Soft Switch #2 MENU


• Increase the transmission level:
Increase the setting so that it is closer to 0 dBm. (At 0 dBm, the LCD indicates ‘0’.)
• Decrease the transmission level:
Decrease the setting so that it is closer to -15 dBm. (At -15 dBm, the LCD indicates
‘15’.)

4.5.3.2 NL Equalizer: No.05 of Service Soft Switch #2 MENU


• Adjust the NL equalizer:
Select ‘ON’.

4.5.3.3 Transmission Page Timer: SW12 of Service Soft Switch #1 SSSW


• Increase the page timer setting:
To set both transmission and reception to the same time-out length, set SW12 as fol-
lows:
8 min: bit 7, bit 1, bit 0 = 0, 0, 0
16 min: bit 7, bit 1, bit 0 = 0, 0, 1
32 min: bit 7, bit 1, bit 0 = 0, 1, 0
64 min: bit 7, bit 1, bit 0 = 0, 1, 1
If you want to set transmission and reception to different time-out lengths, or use differ-
ent time-out lengths according to different image modes, you will have to set all bits (from
7 through 0) accordingly.

4.5.3.4 T0 Timer: No.10 of Service Soft Switch #3 NUMERIC param.


• Increase the T0 timer setting:
Increase the setting of No.10.
The T0 timer is used to set the period of time in which a line connection is recognized
for transmission, i.e., in which the machine waits for a significant signal from the other
party after dialing. The line will be disconnected if no significant signal is received during
the period.

CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING

4.5.3.5 T1 Timer: No.11 of Service Soft Switch #3 NUMERIC param.


• Increase the T1 timer setting:
Increase the setting of No.11.
The T1 timer is used to set the period of time in which a line connection is recognized
for reception, i.e., in which the machine waits for a significant signal from the other party
after transmission of DIS. The line will be disconnected if no significant signal is received
during the period.

4.5.3.6 RTN Signal Transmission Condition: No. 02, 03, and 04 of Service Soft
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).

4.5.3.7 Echo Remedy


• An echo remedy may be provided on the reception side as follows:
Echo Remedy 1 (by the receiving machine; adds a 1080-Hz total signal before
transmission of CED):
Set SW03 bit 7 of service soft switch #1 SSSW to ‘1’ so that a 1080-Hz total signal is
transmitted before transmission of CED.
Echo Remedy 2 (by the receiving machine; changes the period in which the low
speed signal is ignored after transmission of CFR):
Set SW04 bit 4 of service soft switch #1 SSSW to ‘1’ so that the period in which the
low speed signal is ignored after transmission of CFR is changed from 700 to 1500 msec.

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).

CHAPTER 7 TROUBLESHOOTING

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).

Password Used When Making Settings:


A password may also be used for memory lock Rx, call restriction, and
Memo other functions. Such a password consists of 4 decimal characters (0000
through 9999), and it is important to remember that these passwords are
used inside the machine and are not intended for communication proce-
dures.

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.
