When this copier is plugged in and the main switch is turned off, ac power is supplied via the ac drive board to the optional anti-condensation heaters. When the front cover and/or the exit cover is open, the cover safety switch completely cuts off power to all ac and dc components. When the main switch is turned on, the ac power supply to the anti-condensation heater is cut off and ac power is supplied to the ac drive board. The dc power supply board receives wall outlet ac power through the ac drive board. The dc power supply board converts the wall outlet ac power input to +5 volts, +24 volts, and a zero cross signal, all of which are supplied to the main board.

10

24 February 1997

POWER DISTRIBUTION

All other dc components, including the power relay (RA401) and the main motor relay (RA402), operate on +24 volts. When the main board receives power, it activates the power relay (RA401), which then supplies ac power to the fusing lamp drive circuit and the exposure lamp drive circuit on the ac drive board. The fusing lamp drive circuit receives a trigger signal from the main board and the fusing lamp lights. The exposure lamp does not turn on until the main board sends a trigger pulse to the exposure lamp drive circuit. When the key is pressed, the main board energizes the main motor relay (RA402). Then, the main motor turns on. When the main switch is turned off, power to the main board and to RA401 is cut off, and the optional drum and optics anti-condensation heaters are turned on.

11

A202/A203 Copier

The main board supplies dc power to all copier dc components. All sensors, switches, thermistors, and the DF interface board (option) operate on +5 volts. The operation panel operates on +5 volts supplied by the main board.

DRUM CHARGE

8. DRUM CHARGE
8.1 GRID VOLTAGE CORRECTION
This machine does not correct drum residual voltage correction (VR correction) or drum wear correction.

8.2 GRID VOLTAGE FOR IMAGE DENSITY CONTROL
The main board controls the grid voltage through the CC/Grid/Bias power pack. As the grid voltage for the image density control becomes less, the copy image becomes lighter, and vice versa. The grid voltage for image density is based as follows: Grid Voltage = Standard image density grid voltage (--680 volts [SP60 = 4]) + Auto image density level factor (SP34) 8.2.1 Standard Image Density Grid Voltage The standard image density grid voltage (SP60) is set at the factory and the setting is different for each machine. The setting of SP60 is printed on the SP mode data sheet located inside the inner cover of the machine. 8.2.2 Auto Image Density Level Factor (SP34)
Auto image density level Normal Darker Lighter Data (SP34) 0* 1 2 Change of grid voltage (volts) ±0 --40 ±0 * Factory setting

The grid voltage and the exposure lamp voltage are constant regardless of the output from the auto image density sensor. Only the development bias voltage varies depending on the output from the auto image density sensor. When the auto image density level data in SP34 is set to darker, the grid voltage is changed --40 volts as shown in the above table. When it is set to lighter, the grid voltage does not change. However, the development bias voltage is corrected.

12

24 February 1997

DRUM CHARGE

The grid voltage for toner density detection is based on the standard ID sensor grid voltage. Grid voltage = Standard ID sensor grid voltage (--460 volts [SP62=4]) The standard ID sensor grid voltage (SP62) is set at the factory and the setting is different for each machine. The setting of SP62 is printed on the SP mode data sheet located inside the inner cover of the machine.

A203D502.wmf

The lens home position sensor [A] informs the main board when the lens is at the full size position (home position). The main board determines the lens stop position in reduction and enlargement modes by counting the number of steps the motor makes with reference to the lens home position. When a new reproduction ratio is selected, the lens [B] moves directly to the selected magnification position. The lens home position is registered each time the lens starts from or passes through the lens home position sensor. As the lens moves from the enlargement side to the reduction side, the sensor registers the home position. This occurs when the actuator plate [C] enters the lens home position sensor. A small vibration can be observed when the lens moves through home position from the enlargement side to the reduction side because the lens is going in the wrong direction to register the home position. The lens overshoots the home position by four pulses before going back to register the home position. The lens always stops while moving from left to right (as viewed from the front) to minimize the error caused by mechanical play in the drive gears [D].

The main board supplies +24 volts to the CC/Grid/Bias power pack at CN1-1. key is pressed, the CPU starts sending the bias trigger pulses When the to CN1-4. This energizes the development bias circuit within the CC/Grid/Bias power pack, which applies a high negative voltage to the development roller. The development bias is applied whenever the drum is rotating. The bias trigger pulse applied to CN1-4 is a pulse width modulated signal (PWM signal). The width of the pulses controls the voltage level of the development roller. As the width of the trigger pulses increase, the voltage to the development roller also increases. The power pack is equipped with its own feedback circuit to monitor the development bias voltage.

A207D507.img

When the toner supply motor [A] energizes, the toner supply drive gear [B] starts turning and drives the toner supply roller gear [C]. Toner catches in the grooves on the toner supply roller [D]. Then, as the grooves turn past the pin hole plate [E], the toner drops into the development unit through the pin holes. The toner agitator [F] mechanism, which is contained in the toner cartridge, prevents toner from clumping. The toner agitator gear [G] turns whenever the toner supply motor energizes. Rotation passes through the toner cartridge casing to the agitator junction [H].

PAPER FEED

12.1 PAPER LENGTH DETECTION (Paper Feed Station)
The paper length is measured by the registration sensor while paper is fed past the registration sensor. This is performed during every first copy. As shown by the following table, the CPU determines the size of the paper in the paper tray based on the paper length measured by the registration sensor.
Paper length (mm) 364 356 330 297 279 267 257 254 216 210 Paper size B4 10" x 14" 81/2" x 13" A4R 81/2" x 11" 8" x 101/2" B5R 8" x 10" 51/2" x 81/2" A5R

Since the CPU does not have the paper length in memory for the first copy cycle, the CPU controls the machine for the maximum paper size of B4 (257 mm x 364 mm). From the second copy cycle on, the CPU controls the machine for the correct paper size based on the data stored during the first paper cycle. Whenever the by-pass feed table is used, the CPU determines the paper size to be B4 (257 mm x 364 mm).

The circuit of the main board is different from A151 and A152 copiers at the indicated location.

A203D510.wmf

13.2 OVERHEAT PROTECTION
IC120 and Q101 form an overheat protection circuit. When the fusing lamp is controlled within the normal range, pin 1 of IC120 stays LOW; therefore, Q101 stays on, allowing PC402 to operate. If the hot roller temperature reaches 240°C, the resistance of the thermistor becomes too low. At that time, pin 1 of IC120 becomes HIGH, turning off Q101 and stopping PC402. At the same time "E53" lights on the operation panel and the power relay (RA401) turns off. Even if the thermistor overheat protection fails, a thermoswitch installed in series with the fusing lamp prevents the fusing unit from excessive overheating. If the thermoswitch temperature reaches 170°C, the thermoswitch opens, removing power from the fusing lamp.
