Host interface The printer has the following interfaces to the host. Centronics bi-directional parallel interface OKI HSP interface (Option) The single effective interface or the automatic interface select mode can be selected using the menu. If the busy state of the printer continues for a long time period, the buffer near-full control releases the busy status at constant intervals even if the host side is busy so as not to cause interface time-out at the host side. (a) Centronics bi-directional parallel interface This is an interface confirming to IEEE-1284 and provides either unidirectional ad bi-directional communications according to each of the following communication modes.

z Compatibility mode - Unidirectional communications from the host to the printer. z Nibble mode - This mode transfers 4-bit wide data from the printer to the host. In
this mode, each bit of 1-byte data transmits in the form of two nibbles using ERROR, BUSY, FAULT, and SELECT signal leads. This mode can provide bi-directional operation in combination with the compatibility mode. z ECP mode - This mode provides the asynchronous bi-directional interface and transmits and receives 1-byte data using eight data signal leads under semi-duplex control by the host. When the power is turned on, the compatibility mode is automatically selected. The change to another mode form the compatibility mode is made through negotiation. (When the BI-DIRECTION is set to ENABLE in the menu, this change can be performed.) (For the electrical/physical characteristics of this interface, see APPENDIX B). (b) OKI HSP interface (Option) This interface (slot) is an OKI unique universal interface that provides the platform to connect various boards (including those supplied by third vendors) such as the LAN connection expansion board and SCSI expansion board. Any expansion boards compatible with this interface can be mounted on the Control board the piggyback board from without modifying the program at the printer side. Refer to the Conceptual Diagram of the OKI HSP interface.

Chapter 2 Operation 2.4.1 Electrophotographic processing mechanism

(1)

(2)

Electrophotographic processed - Each process of the electrophotographic processing mechanism is outlined below. (1) Paper pickup - This process causes the roller to give a DC voltage to the paper, resulting in a negative charge. With this negative charge, the paper is electrostatically attracted to the roller. (2) Charging - This process gives a DC voltage to the charge roller so that the image drum may have a uniform negative charge on its surface. (3) Exposure - This process causes the LED head to apply light beams according to image signals to the negatively-charged surface of the image drum. The negative charge on the illuminated surface of the image drum is reduced according to magnitudes of the light beams. Thus, a latent image is formed on the surface of the image drum according to the resulting surface potentials. (4) Developing and recovery of excessive toner - This process applies negatively-charged toner to the surface of the image drum. The toner is electrostatically attracted to the latent image to form a visible image on the surface of the image drum. Simultaneously, this process electrostatically transfers excessive toner from the image drum to the developing roller. (5) Transferring - This process fits paper to the surface of the image drum and applies positive charge (opposite to the charge of the toner) to the back side of the paper from the transfer roller. The toner image is transferred to the paper. (6) Cleaning - Cleaning blade scrapes off the remaining toner of any image drum, which has been used to transfer the image drum the drum to the paper. (7) Fixing - This process fixes the toner image on the paper by pressing the fusing the image. Paper pickup

A DC voltage (0V to 2KV) is applied to the driven roller A, to create a positive charge on the lower surface of the paper. The kept in charged paper is electrostatically attracted to the pickup roller. The paper is in close contact with the conveying Belt and moves steadily. (3) Charging - This process applies a DC voltage to the charging roller in contact with the surface of the image drum.

(4) Exposure - The light beams from the LED head are applied to the surface of the image drum which is charged negatively. The negative charge on the illuminated surface f the image drum is reduced according to the magnitude of the light beams and a latent image is formed on the surface of the image drum according to the resulting surface potentials.

(5) Developing - This process applies toner to the latent image on the surface of the drum to create a toner image. Developing is carried out on the surface of the image drum at where the image contacts with the developing roller. (1) The sponge roller transfers toner to the developing roller. The toner is charged negatively.

(2) The toner blade scrapes away excess toner from the developing roller, leaving a thin film of toner on the surface of the developing roller. (3) The toner is attracted to the latent image on the surface of the image drum, where the image drum contacts the developing roller. The latent image on the surface of the image drum is made visible with the toner. (6) Transferring - The transfer roller made of conductive sponge presses the paper against the surface of the image drum. The paper will make close contact with the surface of the image drum. This process fits the paper to the surface of the image drum (using the transfer roller) and applies a positive charge (opposite to the charge of the toner) from under the paper. When a positive high voltage is applied to the transfer roller from the power supply, the positive charge induced on the transfer roller jumps to the upper surface of the paper (where the transfer roller touches the paper) and attracts the negatively-charged toner from the surface of the image drum onto the surface of the paper.

(7) Fixing - The toner image just transferred to the paper is fused and fixed to the paper while the paper is passing through the gap between the heat roller and the backup roller. The teflon-coated surface of the heat roller is heated by the 800-watt heater (or a halogen lamp) in the heat roller. The temperature of the heat roller surface is controlled by a thermistor in contact with the surface of the heat roller. A thermostat is provided for safety. When the heat roller temperature rises above the preset temperature, the thermostat opens and shuts off power to the heater in the heat roller. The backup roller is evenly pushed against the heat roller by two end springs.

(8) Cleaning - The toner which remains on the (OPC) Image Drum without being fused is scraped by a cleaning blade and discarded in the waste toner tank.

Chapter 2 Operation 2.4.2 Paper running process How paper moves through the OKIPAGE 8c is shown in the Paper Route Diagram. Y=Yellow; M=Magenta; C=Cyan; K=Black

(1) Paper hopping and transfer and up/down movement of pinch roller 2 Paper is hopped and delivered by the mechanism shown below. This mechanism is driven by a single pulse motor.

The pulse motor turns in the arrow direction (a) and drives the hopping roller in the direction of "b". The hopping roller drives the resist roller. Gears A, B, and C, have one-way clutches to prevent the roller form rotating reversely. a) Hopping (1) The pulse motor turns in the arrow direction of "a" (counterclockwise) and drives the hopping roller to move the paper until the Entrance sensor turns on. Although the one-way gears B and C are driven, the resist roller 2 does no turn. The reverse rotations of the one-way clutch gears are not transmitted to the resist roller. (2) After the Entrance sensor turns on, the hopping roller keeps on feeding the paper until it hits the resist roller 1. This operation corrections any paper skew.

b) Conveying (1) After paper hopping is completed, the pulse motor turns right (in the direction of "b") to drive the resist rollers 1 and 2. The resist rollers feed the paper until the Form sensor turns on. Although the one-way gear A is also driven, the hopping roller does not turn because of the one-way clutch. (2) The paper is further fed in synchronism with the print data.

(2) The hopping operation of the front feeder and the up/down operation of the pinch roller 2 are performed by a single pulse motor.

When the pulse motor of the front feeder turns right (in the direction of "A"), the front hopping roller turns left (in the direction of "b") to drive the cam. This cam moves up an down the pinch roller 2. The one-way clutch gears are made to turn only in a present direction by means of the one-way clutches.

(a) First and second hopping rollers 1 When the front edge of the paper passes by the pickup roller, the pulse motor of the front feeder turns counter-clockwise (in the direction of "b" to drive the cam. The cam moves up the pinch roller 2. Although the one-way clutch gear A is also rotating, the hopping roller of the front feeder does not rotate (because of the one-way clutch). 2 When the rear edge of the paper passes by the Entrance sensor 2, the pulse motor of the front feeder turns counter-clockwise (in the direction of "b") to drive the cam. The cam moves down the pinch roller 2 until it is sensed by the sensor. Although the one-way clutch gear A is also rotating, the hopping roller of the front feeder does not rotate (because of the one-way clutch).

(b) Front feeding hopping (1) The pulse motor of the front feeder turns right (in the direction of "a") to drive the hopping roller. The paper feeds until the Entrance sensor 2 is activated. Although the one-way clutch gear B is also rotating, the pinch roller 2 does not drive the up/down cam (because of the one-way clutch). After the Entrance sensor is activated, the paper feeds until it reaches the resist roller. (2) This operation corrects any paper skew.

(c) Conveying (1) After paper hopping is completed, the pulse motor turns right (in the direction of "b") to drive the resist rollers 1 and 2. The resist rollers feed the paper until the Form sensor turns on. (2) Although the one-way gear A is also driven, the first hoping roller does not turn (because of the one-way clutch).

(2) Up/down movement of the image drum unit and rotation of the image drum. The up/down movement of the image drum unit and the rotation of the image drum are performed by a mechanism shown below. (See Figure 2.6-a). This mechanism is driven by a single pulse motor. When the pulse motor turns left (Counter-clockwise), the up/down gear turns left (in the direction of "a"), and the up/down lever (see Figure 2.6-b) moves up (in the direction of "a". The up/down lever pushes up the up/down actuator of the image drum unit. The image drum unit moves up as shown in Figure 2.6-b). The image drum rotates freely.

When the pulse motor (see Figure 2.6-a) turns right (Counter-clockwise), the image drum gear turns left (Counter-clockwise) and the up/down gear (one-way gear) is released. The weight of the image drum unit is applied to the up/down lever via the up/down actuator of the image drum unit. The free up/down gear turns right (in the direction "b" in Figure 2.6-a), and the image drum unit goes down until the up/down actuator of the image drum unit is stopped by the up/down lever. (See Figure 2.6-c). During this, the image is transferred onto the running paper.

Upward Movement of Image Drum

Downward Movement of Image Drum (3) Lubrication and cleaning of fixing, ejecting, and heat rollers.

The fixing roller, the ejecting roller, and the heat roller are lubricated and cleaned by a single pulse motor.

When the heat roller pulse motor turns right (in the direction of "a"), the heat roller and the backup roller turn left (in the direction of "a") to fix a toner image onto the paper. At the same time, three ejection rollers turn right (in the direction of "a") to eject the paper. The oil roller and the oil cleaning roller turn left (in the direction of "a") to supply oil to the surface of the heat roller and clean the surface.

Error Form feed jam Conditions Three hopping operations are made, but the Form Feed sensor (Entrance) does not turn on within a preset time after the Form Feed sensor 1 turns on. The ejection sensor does not turn on within a preset time period after the Write sensor detects the front end of paper. The eject sensor detected the front edge of the paper, but does not detect the rear edge of the paper within a preset time period. The form size (obtained by measuring the time period between the rear edge of the paper passes by the Form Feed sensor 2 after the front edge of the paper passed the Write sensor) is longer by 45mm than the specified form length.

Convey jam Ejection jam Form size error

* To obtain the form size, measure the time interval from when the front edge of the paper passes the Write Sensor until the rear edge of the paper passes the Form Feed Sensor 2. A Form Size Error occurs when the specified length is exceeded by 45 mm.

Chapter 2 Operation 2.10 Toner Lower Detection

z

Composition

The device consists of the stirring gear (which rotates at a constant rate), the stirring bar, and the magnet on the stirring bar. The stirring bar rotates by engaging with the concave section in the stirring gear.

z

Operation

Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval between engagement of the magnet set on the sensor lever and the magnet on the stirring bar. OPERATION during toner full state

z The stirring bar rotates by interlocking with z When the magnet on the stirring bar
reaches its maximum height, the other end of the bar is dipped in the toner. The stirring bar is pushed by the stirring gear. the stirring gear.

Operation during toner low state

z When the stirring bar reaches the maximum
height, the lack of toner provides no resistance on the other end. The bar falls to the minimum height, due to its own weight. z The time length of the encounter (between the stirring bar magnet and the sensor lever magnet), counter with the magnet of the sensor lever becomes long. By monitoring this time interval, toner low is detected.

z z z z

When the toner low state is detected 2 times consecutively, Toner Low is established. When the toner full state is detected 2 times consecutively, Toner Low is canceled. When there is no change with the toner sensor for 2 cycles (1.965 sec. x 2) or more, the Toner Sensor Alarm is activated. The toner sensor is not monitored while the drum motor is in halt.
