The analog image data from the CCD sensor is A/D-converted by the ADB (A/D converter board), then sent to the IPB (image processing board) where it is data-processed. The processed image data is converted into laser beam and applied to the drum with the control signals from the CB. There are two lasers which are used to write two lines of image data in a single scan. The write start position of each laser is detected by the INDXSB (index sensor board). The E-RDH (electronic RDH) can store digitized image data. Various editing functions can be carried out based on this data.

1. Operation
a. Image processing The following processing is done by the IPB (image processing board). (1) Shading correction a) White correction * When the machine is switched ON * When the front door or the side door is opened and closed * Every 1000 copies b) Black correction * When the Copy button is pressed (2) Brightness/density conversion (3) EE processing (4) Text/dot pattern judgement (5) Filtering (6) Magnification change processing (7) Copy correction (8) Write density control

WRITE UNIT

The following processing is performed by the E-RDH (electronic RDH processing board). a) Error diffusion processing b) Data compression The write operation takes place under instructions from the CB after the above processing has been completed. b. Write The IPB (image processing board) sends image data one pixel at a time to LDB1 and LDB2 in accordance with control signals from the CB (control board). LDB1 and LDB2 cause the lasers to emit at a time period corresponding to the image data. This laser light is applied to the drum. (1) APC (automatic adjustment of laser beam intensity) The CB monitors the laser drive current at fixed intervals, and maintains the light intensity at the correct value. APC takes place at the following timing. a) Before Dmax/gradation correction b) When the Copy button is pressed c) After each two copies during a continuous copy operation d) When the front door is opened and closed.

*1: Auxiliary separation Three separation claws separate the paper from the drum and prevent paper jamming. These claws are pressed against the drum or removed from it by the ON/OFF operation of the separation claw solenoid (SD4). Also, while the swing clutch installed in the swing block is turning one revolution, the separation claws slide about 7 mm, preventing a specific part of the paper from becoming dirty and also preventing the drum from being scratched.

[3] Disassembly and Re-assembly
1. Removing and Re-installing the Drum Unit
Caution: Be sure that the power cord has been unplugged from the power outlet. Caution: 1. The drum in this machine is much more sensitive than the drums used in previous machines. Before pulling out the drum unit, therefore, be sure to place the drum cover over it and store the drum carriage in a dark place. 2. Be careful not to rotate the drum when installing or removing the drum unit. if you rotate the drum in the direction opposite to the direction in which it rotates during a copy operation, you risk damaging the cleaning blade. a. Procedure (1) Open the front door, slacken the set screw, release the lock plate of the toner supply unit, then pull forward the toner supply unit and fix it in place.

2. Removing and Re-installing the Drum
Caution: 1. Be careful not to touch the drum or the cleaning blade with bare hands, or damage these parts. 2. When leaving the drum to stand, be sure to place the drum cover over it and store it in a dark place. 3. When re-installing the drum, cleaning blade and guide roller, apply setting powder to the entire surface of the drum and also to the cleaning blade regardless of whether or not the parts are new or old types. In addition, apply toner to both ends of the cleaning blade. 4. After applying setting powder to the drum, carry out the following work before installing the drum unit on the main body. 1) To ensure that the toner density is correct, before installing the drum to the drum unit, discharge the surface of detection sensor and the Dmax sensor on the control board by using a piece of cloth moistened with alcohol, thus preventing toner from adhering to the sensors. 2) After installling the drum to the drum unit, with the charging corona unit and the developing unit removed, insert the centering jigs into both sides of the drum, then turn the drum one revolution. This prevents setting powder from scattering onto the charging corona unit, and other parts, and also prevents image defects. 5. Pay attention not to drop the blade spacer which is inserted to cleaning blade axis on the back side. 6. When installing the drum, be careful of the orientation of the drum. The end of the drum with the wider nonimage area is the front. 7. When installing a new drum, be sure to enter code 91 of the 47 mode and reset the drum counter. (For details, refer to "Adjustment section".) a. Procedure (1) Remove the drum unit from the main body. (2) Remove the charging corona unit, developing unit and cleaning blade from the drum unit. (For the sequence of removing these parts, refer to "Charging corona unit, Developing unit and cleaning/recycle unit section".) (3) Remove the cleaner idler gear and the drum fixing coupling.
