Description
If the On Line/Error lights green, the printer is ready to print. If the On Line/Error lights red, the printer is experiencing an error, such as jammed paper, the open cover or the empty toner cartridge. If you press the Cancel button while the printer is receiving data, the On Line/Error LED blinks red to cancel printing. In Manual Feed mode, if there is no paper in the Manual Feeder, the On Line/Error LED blinks red. Load paper into the Manual Feeder and the LED stops blinking. If the printer is receiving data, the On Line/Error LED slowly blinks green. If the printer is printing the received data, the On Line/Error LED blinks green fast. If you press the Cancel button in Ready mode, this LED is on and the Toner Save mode is enabled. If you press this button once again, this LED is off and the Toner Save mode is disabled. If the On Line/Error and Toner Save LEDs blink, your system has some problems.

Summary of product

4.4.2 HVPS (High Voltage Power Supply), (for ML-15XX/17XX)
1) Transfer High Voltage (THV+)
Function: It is a voltage to transfer a toner developed on OPC drum to a paper. Output voltage: Maximum +5.0KV ±5% (Duty changeable, unload) 1.0KV ±15%(When cleaning, 200MOhm) Error: If THV (+) doesn't output, a ghost status (same character is printed after one cycle (76mm) of OPC) with a low density occurs due to a toner on OPC drum cannot normally transfer to a paper.

2) Charge Voltage (MHV)
- Function: It is a voltage to charge entire surface of OPC with -900V ~ -1000V. - Output voltage: -1.3KV ~ 1.8KV DC ±50V - Error: If MHV doesn't output, a black paper is printed out because toner on developing roller moves to OPC drum due to the surface of OPC is not charged.

3)Cleaning Voltage (THV-)
- Function: It removes a dirty on a surface by sending a minus toner in a transfer roller to an OPC drum to recover toners. - Output Voltage: There is no feedback control, so change range of output is big up to load. - Error: Toner contamination occurs at a backside of a printed-paper.

4) Developing Voltage (DEV)
- Function: It is a voltage to develop a toner with using a difference of electronic potential on an exposed part by LSU (Laser Scanning Unit). * Generally, the electronic potential of exposed OPC is -180V and exposed developer is -350V when printing, so toner with minus (-) is developed on an exposed part. - Output voltage: -200V ~ 600V DC ±20V - Error: 1. If DEV is GND, a density is going significantly down. 2. If DEV is floating due to instable contacting point of terminal, and etc., a density is significantly going up.

5) Supply Voltage(SUP)
- Function: It is a voltage to supply toner to a developing roller. - Output voltage: : -400V ~ 800V DC °æ 50V(Use ZENER, DEV gear) - Error: 1. If SUP is GND, a density is dramatically going down. 2. If SUP is floating due to instable contacting point of terminal, and etc., a density is significantly going down as much as it cannot be recognized with eyes.

4.4.3 Fuser AC Power Control
The Fuser (HEAT LAMP) is heated using AC power. The AC power is controlled by a Triac (THY1), a semiconductor switch. 'On/Off control' is achieved when the gate of the Triac is turned on/off by a Photo triac (PC1), this is an insulting part. In the other words the AC control part is a passive circuit. It turns the heat lamp on/off by taking a signal from the engine control section. When the 'HEATER ON' signal is activated by the engine the LED of PC1 (Photo Triac) flashes. The flashing light causes the Triac (PC1) to switch and a voltage is supplied to the gate of Triac THY1. As a result AC current flows in the heat lamp, and heat is produced. On the other hand, when the signal is off, PC1 is off, the voltage is cut off at the gate of Triac THY1, this Triac is therefore off, and thus the heat lamp is turned off. 1) Triac (THY1) feature - 12A,600V SWITCHING 2) Phototriac Coupler (PC3) - Turn On If Current : 15mA ~ 50mA(Design: 16mA) - High Repetive Peak Off State Voltage : Min 600V

Summary of Product

4.5 Engine F/W
4.5.1 Feeding
If feeding from a cassette, the drive of the pickup roller is controlled by controlling the solenoid. The on/off of the solenoid is controlled by controlling the general output port or the external output port. If feeding from a manual feeder, decide to insert the paper according to the operation of the manual sensor, and by driving the main motor, insert the paper in front of the feed sensor. While paper moves, occurrence of jam is judged as below. (Refer to the [6.2 Paper Transfer rout])

4.5.1.1 Jam 0
· After picking up, paper cannot entered due to paper didn't feed. · After picking up, paper entered but it cannot reach to the feed sensor in certain time due to slip, etc. · After picking up, if the feed sensor is not on, repack up. After repacking up, if the feed sensor is not on after certain time, it is Jam 0. - It is a status that the leading edge of the paper doesn't pass the feed sensor. · Even though the paper reaches to the feed sensor, the feed sensor doesn't be on. - It is a status that the leading edge of the paper already passes the feed sensor.

4.5.1.2 Jam 1
· After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the tailing edge of the paper cannot pass the feed sensor after certain time. (The feed sensor cannot be Off) · After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper cannot reach the exit sensor after certain time. (The exit sensor cannot be On) - The paper exists between the feed sensor and the exit sensor.

4.5.1.3 Jam 2
· After the tailing edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper cannot pass the exit sensor after certain time.

4.5.2 Drive
By gearing, the main motor drives the rollers such as feeding roller, developing roller, fuser roller, and distributing roller. The step motor is controlled for the sections, acceleration section and fixed speed section. In the initial stage of the motor run, appoint the acceleration section to prevent the isolation of the motor. It is controlled by the A3977 motor driver IC. The step signal and the enable signal are sent to make the phase for driving the motor in CPU.

4.5.3 Transfer
The charging voltage, developing voltage and the transfer voltage are controller by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The each output voltage is changeable due to the PWM duty. The transfer voltage admitted when the paper passes the transfer roller is decided by environment recognition. The resistance value of the transfer roller is changed due to the surrounding environment or the environment of the set, and the voltage value, which changes due to the environments, is changed through AD converter. The voltage value for impressing to the transfer roller is decided by the changed value.

4.5.4 Fusing
The temperature change of the heat roller's surface is changed to the resistance value through the thermistor. By converting the voltage value, which impressed to the resistance, to the digital value through the AD converter, the temperature is decided. The AC power is controlled by comparing the target temperature to the value from the thermistor. If the value from the thermistor is out of the controlling range while controlling the fusing, the error stated in the table occurs. (For the domestic model, the Q-PID method has been applied.)

4.5.4.1 Heat Lamp Method
