Chapter 2 Operation Description

2. OPERATION DESCRIPTION OL1200 consists of a control board, a power supply/sensor board, a driver board, an operator panel and an electro-photographic process mechanism. The control board receives data through a host I/F, decodes and edits the data, and stores the edited data in a memory. After completing edition of one page of data, it references the font memory and generates bit data on the same memory. At the same time, it transfers the bit image data to an LED head in units of one dot line. The electro-photographic process mechanism prints data on paper. The operator panel is used for operations and status display. Fig. 2-1 shows an OL1200 block diagram.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.1 Main Control Board (AOLM-PCB) The control board consists of a one chip CPU, LSIs, a program/font ROM, a DRAM, an EEPROM, a host interface circuit, and a mechanism driving circuit. (1) One-chip CPU The one-chip CPU is a custom CPU (32-bit internal bus, 32-bit external bus, 33-MHz clock) that incorporates a RISC CPU and its peripheral devices, and has the following functions: Built-in device Chip select controller Bus controller DRAM controller DMA controller Parallel interface controller Serial interface controller Timer Serial I/O port I/O port Option I/O interface Function Control of ROM, DRAM and I/O device Transfer of image data from DRAM to OST LSI Control of Centronics parallel interface Control of RS-232C serial interface Generation of various control timing Monitoring of paper running and paper size Control of operator panel, EEPROM, and options Inputting/outputting of sensor, signal and motor signal Control of OKI HSP interface

(2) Program/font ROM The program/font ROM stores the equipment program and various types of fonts. EPROM/ OTP or masked ROM is used as a program/font ROM. (3) Memory 2-Megabyte DRAM (512K x 4) is mounted as resident memory to be used for storing the program and providing various buffers. This DRAM is expandable up to 34 Mbytes by adding expansion memory (SIMMs). This DRAM provides the areas shown in the following table. Memory capacity setting Memory area Use MENU Expansion RAM

Expandable Enable Expandable

(4) EEPROM The EEPROM has a 4-kbit capacity and stores the following data. - Menu data - Various counter data (page counter, drum counter, fuser counter, etc.) - Adjustment parameters (LED head drive time, print start position, etc.) (5) LSI (MSM10S0050-015GS) This LSI is connected to the CPU via the bus as a peripheral device of the CPU and controls the memory based on the RAS signal and address signal received from the CPU. (6) LSI (MBCE31701-040FP-BND) This LSI is used as a peripheral device of the CPU and performs smoothing compensation (OST) of print image data (300 dpi and 600 dpi). In addition, it transfers serially bit image data for each dot line to the LED head. (7) Host interface This printer has the following interfaces to the host. - Centronics bidirectional parallel interface - RS232C serial 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 not to cause the interface time-out at the host side. (a) Centronics bidirectional parallel interface This is an interface conforming to IEEE-1284 and provides either unidirectional or bidirectional communications according to each of the following communication modes. - Compatibility mode - Unidirectional communications from the host to the printer. - Nibble mode This mode transmits 4-bit wide data from the printer to the host. In this mode, each 1-byte data is

transferred in the form of two nibbles using ERROR, BUSY, FAULT, and SELECT signal leads. This mode can provide the bidirectional operation in combination with the compatibility mode. - ECP mode his mode provides the asynchronous bidirectional interface and transmits and receives 1-byte data using eight data signal leads under the semi-duplex control by the host. When the power is turned on, the compatibility mode is automatically selected. The change to another mode from 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) RS232C serial interface The following protocol is supported for the serial interface conforming to EIA RS232C. - READY/BUSY (DTR HI or DTR LO) - X-ON/X-OFF - RBST X-ON (For the electrical/physical characteristics of the interface, see APPENDIX A) (c) 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 venders) such as the LAN connection expansion board. Any expansion boards compatible with this interface can be mounted on the Control board without modifying the program at the printer side. The conceptual diagram of the OKI HSP interface is shown in Fig. 2-2.

(For the electrical/physical characteristics of the OKI HSP interface, see the OKI HSP interface technical manual. This manual will not be available to the general public.) (8) RAM module - Pin layout

- Basic specification - Type: 72 pins SIIM (32 bits buss width) - Access time: 60ns, 70ns, 80ns, 100ns - Capacity: 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16MB (16 MB RAM will not be sold by Okidata) - Parity: None

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.4 Electro-photographic Process 2.4.1 Electro-photographic process mechanism This mechanism prints image data from the control board on the paper by electro-photographic process. The Figure 2-4 shows the layout of the electro-photographic process mechanism.

(1) Image drum unit The image drum unit consists of a sensitive drum, a charger, and a developer. The unit forms a toner image on the sensitive drum, using an electrostatic latent image formed by the LED head. (2) Hopping motor This motor is a pulse motor of 48 steps/rotation that is two-phase excited by the signal from the control board. It drives the hopping roller of the first tray and the front feed roller via two one-way clutches according to the direction of rotation. (3) Registration motor This motor is a pulse motor of 48 steps/rotation that is two-phase excited by the signal from the control board. It drives the registration roller. (4) Drum motor This drum motor is a pulse motor of 48 steps/rotation that is two-phase excited by the signal from the control board and is the main motor of this mechanism. (5) LED head Image data for each dot line from the control board is received by the shift register and latch register. The 5120 LED's are driven to radiate the image data to the image drum. (6) Fuser The fuser consists of a heater, a heat roller, a thermistor and a thermostat. An AC voltage from the power supply board is applied to the heater under the control of the HEATON signal from the control board. This

AC voltage heats the heater. The control board supervises the heat roller temperature via the thermistor, and regulates the heater roller at a predetermined temperature (185 - 188°C) by connecting or disconnecting the AC voltage supply to the heater. If the heater roller temperature rises abnormally, the thermostat of the heater voltage supply circuit is activated to cut the AC voltage supply forcibly.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.4.2 Electro-photographic process The electro-photographic processing is outlined below. Figure 2-5 shows the electro-photographic printing process.

1 Charging The surface of the image drum is uniformly charged with negative charges by applying a negative voltage to the charge roller. 2 Exposure Light emitted from the LED head irradiates the negatively charged surface of the image drum. The surface potential of the irradiated part of the image drum surface is lowered, so that an electrostatic latent image associated with the print image is formed. 3 Developing and toner recovery When the negatively charged toner is brought into contact with the image drum, it is attracted to the electrostatic latent image by static electricity, making the image visible. At the same time, the residual toner on the image drum is attracted to the developing roller by static electricity. 4 Transfer When paper is placed over the image drum surface and a positive charge, opposite in polarity to the toner, is applied to the reverse side of the paper from the transfer roller, the toner is attracted by the positive charge and is transferred to the paper. As a result, the toner image formed on the image drum is transferred to the paper. 5 Temporary cleaning Residual toner that remains on the image drum without being transferred is made uniform by the cleaning roller and is temporarily attracted to the cleaning roller by static electricity.

6 Fusing The toner image transferred to the paper is fused under heat and pressure. Figure 2-6 shows an electro-photographic process timing chart.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.4.3 Process operation descriptions (1) Hopping Hopping from the first tray and the front feeder are effected by a single hopping motor in the mechanism shown below.

Turning the Hopping motor in the a direction drives the hopping roller of the first tray. Turning the Hopping motor in the b direction drives the Hopping roller of the front feeder. The both and hopping gears contain one-way bearing, so that turning each of these gears in reverse direction will not be transmitted to the corresponding roller.

(a) Hopping (1st tray) 1 Rotating the pulse motor in the direction a (Clock-wise direction) drives the hopping roller of the first tray to advance the paper until the inlet sensor turns on. At the same time, the one-way clutch gear B also rotates. However, the hopping roller of the front feeder will not rotate due to the one-way bearing. 2 After turning on the inlet sensor, the paper advances further by a predetermined length until it hits the

registration roller. (The skew of the paper can thus be corrected.)

(b) Hopping (front feeder) 1 Rotating the pulse motor in the direction b (Counter Clock-wise direction) drives the hopping roller of the front feeder to advance the paper until the inlet sensor turns on. At the same time, the one-way clutch gear A also rotates. However, the hopping roller of the 1st tray will not rotate due to the one-way bearing. A cam to push down the front feeder plate is attached on each of the ends of the hopping roller shaft. These cams push down the front feeder plate when the hopping operation is not performed so as to facilitate the setting of paper into the tray. A microswitch is provided under the front feeder plate to detect that the front feeder plate is at the lower position. When the front feeder plate is at the lower position, this microswitch causes the motor to stop.

2 After turning on the inlet sensor, the paper advances further by a predetermined length until it hits the registration roller. (The skew of the paper can thus be corrected.)

Chapter 2 Operation Description

(5) Developing Toner is attracted to the electrostatic latent image on the image drum surface to convert it into a visible toner image. Developing takes place at the contact between the image drum and the developing roller. 1. As the toner supply roller rotates while rubbing on the developing roller, a friction charge is generated between the developing roller and the toner, allowing the toner to be attracted to the developing roller. (The developing roller surface is charged positive and the toner, negative.)

2. The toner attracted to the developing roller is scraped off by the doctor blade, forming a thin coat of toner on the developing roller surface. 3. Toner is attracted to the exposed part (low-potential part) of the image drum at the contact between the image drum and the developing roller, making the electrostatic latent image visible.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

(6) Transfer The transfer roller is composed of conductive sponge material and is designed to make the image drum surface and the paper closely into contact. Paper is placed over the image drum surface, and a positive charge, opposite in polarity to the toner, is applied to the paper from its reverse side. The application of a high positive voltage from the power supply to the transfer roller causes the positive charge induced to the transfer roller surface to be transferred to the paper at the contact between the transfer roller and the paper. As a results, toner charged negative that is attracted to the image drum surface is transferred to the upper side of the paper by the positive charge on the lower side of the paper.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

(7) Fusing After the end of the transfer, the unfused toner image is fused on the paper under heat and pressure as it passes between the heater roller and the back-up roller. The heater roller with a Teflon coating incorporates a 400W heater (Halogen lamp), which heats the heat roller. A thermistor which is in contact with the heater roller regulates the heater roller at a predetermined temperature (about 185 ~ 188°C). A safety thermostat cuts off voltage supply to the heater by opening the thermostat in the event of abnormal temperature rises. The back-up roller is held under a pressure of 2.5 kg from the pressure spring at each side.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.5 Paper Jam Detection The paper jam detection function supervises the paper state at power-on time and during printing. In the event that a jam occurs, this function interrupts the printing process. If any of the following errors is presented, recovery printing will be performed by removing the jammed paper ( by opening the upper cover, removing the jammed paper and closing the upper cover). Error Paper input jam Cause of error - At power-on time, the paper is placed at the inlet sensor. - After hopping operation is attempted three times, the leading part of the paper does not reach the inlet sensor. Paper feed jam - At power-on time, the paper is placed at the paper sensor. - The leading part of the paper does not reach the paper sensor within a predetermined distance after the paper has reached the inlet sensor. - The trailing part of the paper does not pass over the paper sensor within a predetermined distance after the leading edge of the paper has passed over the paper sensor. - The leading part of paper does not reach the outlet sensor within a predetermined distance after the paper has reached the paper sensor. Paper exit jam - At power-on time, the paper is placed on the outlet sensor. - The paper does not pass over the outlet sensor within a predetermined time after the leading part of the paper has reached the outlet sensor. - The paper size check with the manual feed specified considers the reference size as free size.

Paper size error

Paper size error - The size of the paper is supervised by the inlet sensor 1. It is detected that the paper does not pass over the inlet sensor 1 within predetermined range of distance. - The inlet sensor 2 detects that the size of the loaded paper is A4 or larger, or smaller than A4. The detected paper size differs from the paper size set by command or menu. - The paper size check with the manual feed specified considers the reference size as free size.

2.6 Cover Open When the stacker cover is opened, the cover open microswitch on the power/sensor board is turned off to cut the supply of +30V to the high voltage power supply circuit. As a result, all high-voltage outputs are interrupted. At the same time, the CVOPN signal is sent to the control board to notify it of the off state of the microswitch, and the control board performs the cover open processing.

Chapter 2 Operation Description

2.7 Toner Low Detection - 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 through the link on the protrusion in the stirring gear.

Toner Low is detected by monitoring the time interval of the encounter of the magnet set on the sensor lever and the magnet on the stirring bar. Operation during toner full state - The stirring bar rotates due to the interlocking with the stirring gear. - Even when the magnet on the stirring bar reaches the maximum height, since the other side is being dipped in the toner, the stirring bar is pushed by the stirring gear. - Operation

Operation during toner low state - When the stirring bar reaches the maximum height, since there is no resistance provided by the toner on the other side, it falls to the minimum height due to its own weight. Because of this, the time interval during which it is in encounter with the magnet of the sensor lever becomes long. By monitoring this time interval, toner low can be detected.

TONER FULL state

TONER LOW state

- 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 cancelled. - When there is no change with the toner sensor for 2 cycles (5.8 sec. x 2) or more, then the Toner Sensor Alarm is activated. - The toner sensor is not monitored while the drum motor is in halt.
