Principles of Operation Overview of Print Process
The printer provides a electrophotographic process function to print image on paper with video signals sent from the controller board to the engine board. The electrophotographic process consists of the following seven steps. 1. Charge - Equally assigns negative charge on the drum surface by the bias charge roll. 2. Exposure - The laser scanner scans the drum surface and generates an invisible electrostatic latent image on the drum surface using super-fine laser beams modulated according to signals sent from the controller. 3. Development - Draws toner toward an electrostatic latent image on the drum surface and creates a visible toner image. 4. Transcription - Transcribes a toner image from the drum surface to paper. 5. Exfoliation - Cast off paper from the drum surface by partially neutralizing charge on paper. 6. Fusing - Permanently fuses a toner image by heat and pressure. 7. Cleaning - Eliminates the remaining toner from the drum surface.

Rotating the drum, the drum surface passes six steps (charge, exposure, development, transcription, exfoliation, and cleaning), creates a toner image, and transcribes the created image on paper. Paper passes three steps (transcription, exfoliation, and fusing) by the paper transfer mechanism. When paper is positioned as shown in image, toner image is transcribed from the drum surface to paper, and then fused.

In the exposure step, thin laser beam scans the drum surface which was negatively charged in the charging step of the previous process. The laser beam emitted by the laser diode of the printhead scans from end to end of the drum through the rotating polyhedron mirror (Polygon Mirror: 6 or 12 sides) and lens. Radiation from the laser beam is adjusted according to the video signal from the controller. The laser beam irradiated to the drum excites the electron going toward the conductor and generates a pair of electronic holes in the light transmission layer. As the electronic holes move to the surface of the light transmission layer when the electron moves toward the body in the drum along the electric field, the negative charge at that part decreases and invisible electrostatic latent image is generated. Toner is absorbed to the electrostatic latent image and developed. Toner absorbed to the drum is attracted by the positive electric charge supplied by Transfer Roller and transcribed on the paper and the drum goes to the separating and cleaning process. In the cleaning step, residual toner is removed from the drum surface as the surface is prepared for the next cycle. The toner is scraped off the drum surface by the cleaning blade. Note: The toner rubbed off in the cleaning step is collected in the recovery toner compartment separated from the unused toner. The transcription ratio is 90% or more, but it varies depending on the image cover range and environment conditions such as the temperature and humidity. The used toner cannot be reused. Note: At the starting time for each print process, the entire drum surface is scanned with laser beams, and the charge remaining on the drum surface from the preceding print step is removed completely. Note: At the starting and ending times of the continuous print process, the negative highvoltage is applied to the Transfer Roller. If residual toner is on the Transfer Roller surface in the preceding print step, it is returned onto the drum surface to clean the Transfer Roller surface.

Generating Print Image
The printers attached to the network, the network interface card (NIC) of the printer connected to network receives packet signals from a network client or server in a bit stream, and decomposes the received packet signals into a data format for the layer where data is sent to the controller. The controller processes the data sent from the NIC in the same way as of the data received from the host computer through a parallel port. Data received from the NIC or parallel port is called host data. The controller board buffers host data in the lustered bit image or converts host data of the page description language (PDL) into the lustered bit image data. The controller board sends the lustered bit image data to the engine board line by line each time laser beams are scanned. The signal that transfers image data (/VDO signal) is converted into an LVDS signal by the engine board, and sent to the printhead as a P.DATA+P.DATA signal. The printhead

converts the signal into laser beams, and radiated as super fine laser beams. The laser beams are turned on and off according to a video signal. Laser beams, that are emitted from the surface of the rotating polygon mirror, are collectively irradiated on the drum surface of the EP cartridge. An electrostatic latent image is then generated on the drum surface.

Transmission of Driving Power
The driving power is generated by the Motor Assembly (component of the Main Drive Assembly), and transferred to the printer components, that requires the mechanical driving power, through the gear and gear train in the Main Drive Assembly. As shown in the following illustrations, the driving power is distributed to the toner cartridge, chute assembly transfer, Roll Assembly MPF, Roll assembly tray 1, optional feeder, and fuser assembly through the gear in the drive assembly. The driving power transmitted to the chute assembly transfer drives the roll registration metal and roll registration rubber. The driving power transmitted to the toner cartridge drives the drum, and it is transmitted to the Transfer Roller of the chute assembly transfer. The driving power transmitted to the fuser assembly drives the heat roll, and it is further transmitted to the roll assembly exit by the gear decurler.

The printhead consists of the three components: Laser Diode (LD), Scanner Assembly, and printhead card assembly. The LD Assembly generates laser beams. The generated laser beams are set on and off by a print data signal. The light source of laser is a semiconductor laser diode of the nominal maximum output 4 mW. The Scanner Assembly consists of a 6- or 12-side Polygon Mirror and Scanner Motor. The Polygon Mirror is fixed to the shaft of the Scanner Motor.

General Information

1-31

4022-XXX

The Scanner Motor rotates the Polygon Mirror at a specified speed. The rotating mirror reflects laser beams onto the rotating drum surface through the lens and mirror, and scans laser beams from an end to another on the drum surface. One scan operation is performed for each side of the Polygon Mirror. The Scanner Motor is driven by a 3-phase full-wave current linear signal. The current of the coil for each phase is switched by the amplifier matrix, within the printhead card assembly, using a signal sent from the phase detector terminal of the Motor. A latent image of one line is generated by turning on and off laser beams and scanning them from one end to another on the drum surface. A flat image is generated by repeating the scanning of laser beams while the drum is rotating. The resolution in the scanning direction (from the right to the left) is determined by the motor speed and LD pulse rate. The resolution in the paper path direction (from the top to the bottom) is determined depending on the rotation speed of the scanner motor. (As the scanning speed is higher, the next line is scanned more quickly.)
