 Laser Beam
This printer incorporates the laser radiation unit (ROS ASSY) of Class IIIb as specified ROS ASSY
in IEC60825-1.
Warning Label
„ Maximum average electric power: 10 mW
„ Wavelength: 770 ~ 790 nm

To prevent the laser radiation unit from emitting the laser beam unexpectedly, this
printer is equipped with a switch (INTERLOCK S/W 5V) which physically cuts off the
power to the laser beam output circuit. The interlock switch turns off the printer when
the top cover is opened.

W A R N IN G „ Take great care not to expose your naked eyes to the laser
beam; otherwise, you can lose your eyesight.
„ Never turn on the interlock switch forcibly without turning it
on by normal operation; otherwise, a laser beam can be emitted
unexpectedly during a maintenance operation.
„ Never disassemble any part or open any cover to which a
warning label about laser beam is affixed. JG0104EA
„ If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off the power.
„ If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly
follow the instructions in this manual.
„ Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum
precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you.

C H E C K „ The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more

P O IN T coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light).
The beam has excellent monochromaticity and convergence,
thus it reaches long distances. Because of these characteristics,
the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density
and high temperature. Therefore, a laser beam is harmful to
the human body.
„ The laser beam in this printer is invisible.

This printer uses electrophotographic printing method to print images on paper by Cycle repeats
using the video signal transmitted from the Main Board Assy to the MCU of the for the next print 3. Development

2. Exposure: 6. Fusing
The Laser Scanner scans the surface of the drum using extremely thin laser
beam modulated according to the signal from the controller, and generates an Ejecting printed paper
invisible latent image on the surface of the drum.
Figure 2-1. Overview of Printing Process
3. Development:
Toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image on the drum surface, and a
visible toner image is generated.
4. Transfer:
The toner image is transferred from the surface of the drum onto the paper.
5. Separation:
The paper is separated from the surface of the drum by partial neutralization
of the charge on the paper.
6. Fusing:
The toner image is fused to the paper by application of heat and pressure. 6. Fusing 7. Cleaning
7. Cleaning:
Residual toner is removed from the surface of the drum.
1. Charging
As the drum turns, the surface of the drum passes the steps of charging, exposure, 5. Separation
development, transfer, separation and cleaning, so that the toner image is generated on
the surface of the drum and is transferred onto the paper.
2. Exposure
The paper passes the steps of transfer, separation and fusing by the operation of the

The laser beam striking the Drum surface excites the electrons moving toward the
conductor and consequently generates “electron ⇔ hole” pairs inside the
photoconductive layer. Electrons, attracted by the electric field, move toward the inner
FUSER ASSY metal portion of the drum and flow in there. Holes move toward the external surface of
the photoconductive layer, thus reducing negative charges there. The areas of the lower
to Duplex Heat Roll negative charge level form the latent print image.
In the next process, toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image, thus a visible
Pressure Roll
toner image is generated.
Drum Attracted by positive charge supplied from the BTR (Bias Transfer Roll), the toner

ROS ASSY image is transferred from the surface of the Drum onto the paper. Then the Drum

In the exposure step, the drum surface negatively charged in the previous charging step
is scanned by thin laser beams. The laser, which the Laser Diode of the ROS (Raster
Output Scanner) radiates, scans from one end to the other of the drum via the rotating
Polygon Mirror (12 planes) and lens.
Emission of the laser beam is adjusted according to the Video signal transmitted from
the Main Board Assy.

In the cleaning process, the surface of the Drum is cleared of the remaining toner to get
ready for the next cycle.
The toner is scraped off with the cleaning blade from the surface of the Drum.

C H E C K „ Toner scraped at the step of cleaning is collected into the used

P O IN T toner compartment separated from the compartment for
unused toner. The transfer ratio is 90% or more, but varies
with the coverage range of the image and ambient conditions,
such as temperature and humidity. Toner used once cannot be
reused.
„ At the starting point of each printing process, the whole surface
of the drum is scanned with laser beam and the charge from the
previous printing process. If any charge remains on the surface
of the drum from the previous step, it will be removed
completely.
„ At the starting and ending points of continuous printing
process, a negative high voltage is applied to the BTR. If the
toner adheres to the BTR in the previous printing process, the
surface of the BTR will be cleaned by putting the toner back
onto the surface of the drum.

2.2 Print Data Flow The print data (electrical signal) from the printer controller forms the print image via
the processes as shown in the flowchart below.
The NIC (Network Interface Card) of the printer connected to the network receives the
packet signal in the form of bit stream transmitted from a client or server in the
network. Then the NIC decomposes the received packet signal into the data format in
Electrostatic Latent Image on Drum
the layer where the data is to be sent to the Controller. The Controller processes the Host (Electrical Signal) (Invisible Image)
data received from the NIC the same way as the data received from the host computer
through the parallel port. (These two types of data are both called “host data”.)
The Controller buffers the rasterized bit-image host data or converts the host data in Printer Controller (Electrical Signal) Toner Image on Drum (Visible Image)
PDL (Page Description Language) into rasterized bit-image data. Every stroke of
scanning with the laser beam, the Controller transmits one line of rasterized bit-image
data to the MCU of the HVPS/MCU. MAIN PWB (Electrical Signal) Toner Image on Paper

The /VDO signal carrying the image data is converted to the LVDS signal at the MCU
of the HVPS/MCU and transmitted to the ROS ASSY as the P.DATA+ and P.DATA-
ROS ASSY (Laser Beam) Print Image on Paper
signals. On the ROS ASSY, the received signal is converted to a very thin laser beam,
which is turned on or off according to the video signal. The laser beam, once reflected
by the surface of the spinning Polygon Mirror, passes through a series of lenses and is
concentrated on the surface of the Drum in the Imaging Cartridge. As a result, an Figure 2-5. Print Data Flow
electrostatic latent image is generated on the surface of the Drum.

2.5.4 XERO
IMAGING CARTRIDGE BTR ASSY

The Imaging Cartridge, an Imaging Cartridge also called the CRU (Customer
Replaceable Unit), consists of the following five major components:
† Drum:
An aluminum cylinder with the surface coated with photoconductive material. The
photoconductive property of the drum allows the drum surface to hold electrical
charge while in darkness, and discharge it when exposed to the light.
† BCR (Bias Charge Roll):
Places uniform electrical charge on the drum surface to erase the electrical patterns
of reduced charge remaining from the last print cycle.
† Magnet Roll:
Holds toner on the surface in the form of a thin layer, and conveys toner into the
gap between the drum and the Magnet Roll. Toner is supplied to the Magnet Roll
by the Agitator in the Toner Compartment.
† CM Blade (Charging and Metering Blade):
Spreads toner on the Magnet Roll in the form of a thin layer, and gives negative
charge to the toner by friction charging.
† Cleaning Blade:
Scrapes the residual toner from the drum surface after the transfer step.
IMAIGING CARTRIDGE JG6119EA

BTR ASSY Figure 2-26. Major Components of the XERO

The BTR of the BTR ASSY, which is in contact with the Drum of the Imaging
Cartridge, is driven by the Drum Gear.
When the paper moves between the BTR and the Drum, the BTR applies positive
charge to the back side of the paper. The positive charge on the back side of the paper
attracts the negatively charged toner image from the drum surface and transfers it onto
the front side of the paper.

ROS ASSY
The ROS (Raster Output Scanner) scans the surface of the drum with a laser beam. The
ROS ASSY consists of the following three major components, namely, LD (Laser
Diode) Assembly, Scanner Assembly and SOS PWB:
† LD Assembly:
The LD Assembly generates a laser beam. The generated beam is turned ON/OFF
according to the printing data signal. The nominal maximum output of the
semiconductor laser diode used as the light source of the laser is as indicated
below.

600 dpi mode 1200 dpi mode

10 mW 10 mW

† Scanner Assembly:
Consists of the Polygon Mirror with 12 mirror facets and the Scanner Motor.
The Polygon Mirror is secured to the shaft of the Scanner Motor.
Figure 2-27. Conceptual Diagram of Image Creation by Scanning
The Scanner Motor rotates the Polygon Mirror at a certain speed. The spinning
Polygon Mirror reflects the beam, via lenses and mirrors, onto the surface of the SOS PWB LD Assembly
rotating drum and the beam scans the drum surface from one side to the other.
One-line scanning is carried out by one mirror facet.
The Scanner Motor is driven by three-phase full-wave current linear drive. The
current in the coil for each phase is switched by the Hall amplifier matrix, and the
signal from the phase detection terminal of the Motor is used.
† SOS PWB:
The laser beam that has entered the SOS Sensor of the SOS PWB is converted to
an electric signal (SOS signal) and detects the initial position for each line
scanning.
A latent image for one line is created when the laser beam is turned on and off and
scans the drum surface from its one side to the other. A image for one plane is created
when scanning by the laser beam is repeated on the rotating drum. The resolution in the
scanning direction (from right to left) depends on the revolving speed of the Scanner
Motor and the quickness of adjustment of laser. The resolution in the process direction Scanner Assembly JG6121AA
(from top to bottom) depends on the revolving speed of the Scanner Motor (The faster
the scanning is performed, the earlier the scanning of the next line is started). Figure 2-28. Major Components of the ROS ASSY

2.5.5 FUSER HEAT ROLL FINGERS

HEAT ROLL Peels the leading edge of the paper off the Heat Roll so that the paper does not wind
around the Heat Roll.
This hollow surface-coated metal tube, heated by the Heater Rod located therein,
applies heat to the paper passing between this roll and the Pressure Roll. This heat HEAT ROLL DIODE
fuses the toner on the paper.
Negative charge is accumulated on the Heater Rod. This charge can disturb the toner
PRESSURE ROLL image on the paper during fusing. The Heat Roll Diode dissipates this charge into the
frame for grounding.
This metal shaft, coated with sponge rubber, applies pressure to the paper between this
roll and the Heat Roll. This pressure presses the molten toner against the paper. EXIT SENSOR

the harness. The Heater Rod is located in the Heat Roll, and the Heat Roll gets heated. 
 



  
  
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
  

This sensor is a thermistor whose resistance varies in a known value according to

temperature change. This sensor, installed in contact with the surface of the Heat Roll,
monitors the temperature. Using the signal from this sensor, the power to the Heater
Rod is turned on and off so that the surface temperature of the Heat Roll is maintained
within the rated range. This signal is also used for the first-stage overheat prevention.

THERMOSTAT SENSOR (STS)

Two STSs are installed. The STSs are connected in series with the Heat Roll, and
function as overheat prevention in the second stage. If the overheat of the fuser cannot
be prevented in the first stage, the STSs open the power supply circuit of the Heater
Rod. The functions of the STSs are as described below.
† To prevent the Pressure Roll from seizing up by wrong setting of paper, the STS
opens the power supply circuit to cool it down when the detected temperature rises  

to or above the preset temperature.
† To prevent both edges of paper from curling caused by a temperature rise on both
 

 
sides of the Heat Roll, the STS lights up the Short lamp to control a temperature
rise when the detected temperature rises to or above the preset temperature.

Turning ON/OFF of the Halogen Lamp is to maintain the Fuser control temperature.

WARM-UP OF FUSER
When the Fuser starts warming up, the Halogen Lamp turns ON (lights up)
simultaneously. The Fuser completes warming up when the surface temperature
(detected by the thermistor) of the HEAT ROLL reaches the Fuser control temperature
(standby temperature).
The Main Motor is operating while the Fuser is warming up.

6.1 Overview
This section gives information necessary for maintaining the printer in its optimum
condition.
In maintenance and checks, never fail to observe the following precautions.

W A R N IN G „ To ensure the safety during servicing (to prevent electric shocks

or damage to the circuit), before servicing, be sure to unplug
the power cable from the AC inlet of the printer, unless power
to the printer is required for, say, printing or operation check.
„ The FUSER ASSY and other high-temperature parts remain at
hazardous temperature for a certain period of time even after
stop of operation and turning off of the power. To prevent
suffering a burn, be sure to wait after power turning off until
the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level, and then
start working on the printer.
„ Always wear gloves for maintenance and checks to avoid injury
from sharp metal edges.
„ Take great care not to expose yourself to the laser beam;
otherwise, you could suffer injury (blindness).
„ When you perform maintenance or service of the laser printer,
never open any cover on which a warning label about laser
beam is affixed.
„ Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum
precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you.
„ To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any
consumables close to flame or throw them into fire.

C A U T IO N „ Do not use alcohol, paint thinner, or any other such solvents.

„ Do not clean the roller surface of the Transfer Roller (BTR
Assy). If the roller is particularly dirty, try printing some sheets
to remove the dirt, or take out the Transfer Roller Unit and
blow the dirt off using a compressed air gun.
