2 Technical Description This chapter provides a technical description of the following major sections of the DEClaser 5100 printer: • Section 2.1 describes the block diagram, operational modes, low-voltage power supply assembly (LVPSA) and interlock systems, and presents board and connector level wiring diagrams. • Section 2.2 describes the paper feeding system plus paper size sensing and detection. • Section 2.3 describes the xerographic process. • Sections 2.4 and 2.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1 Print Engine Control Figure 2–1 shows the overall block diagram of the DEClaser 5100 printer. The shaded blocks indicate microcomputer-controlled devices. All nonshaded components are operated by discrete binary signals. The DC control board operates all the print engine devices, solenoids, sensors, motors, and so on. The DC control board can operate the printer and print the engine test pattern with no video control board installed. Section 2.1.
2.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.
2.1 Print Engine Control Occasionally, a complex image might exceed the capabilities of the SmartPage process, or memory might overflow due to insufficient memory. When SmarPage fails, the printer: • Displays a memory overflow or print overrun error message (See Section 6.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.2 Print Engine Modes Figure 2–3 shows the activity that occurs during the following DEClaser 5100 operational modes: 1. When the printer is powered on, the printer enters the wait mode and: • Turns on the fusing heater and monitors the temperature rise.
2.1 Print Engine Control 4. During print mode, the fusing temperature is maintained, interlocks are tested, and printing is performed. 5. During the last rotation mode (LSTR) the last page of the job is ejected and the transfer roller is cleaned. If a PRNT signal is received during this mode, then initial rotation mode immediately begins.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.3 Low-voltage Power Supply Assembly Figure 2–4 shows the circuits of the low-voltage power supply assembly (LVPSA). If a short circuit or other fault draws excessive current from the +24VA or +5V regulators, the output voltage decreases to a minimal level. To reset the regulator, power the printer off and then on again. The circuit breaker reset button is accessible through a hole on the side of the LVPSA. The circuit breaker opens when a short circuit occurs in the LVPSA.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.4 Fusing Heater Control Figure 2–5 shows how the fusing temperature varies after power and during printing and standby operations. Figure 2–7 shows the circuitry that controls the fusing temperature. The surface temperature of the upper fusing unit roller is measured by thermistor (TH1) and adjusted by the DC control board. The fusing temperature sets the resistance of TH1, establishing the voltage level for the analog FSRTH signal.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.5 Fusing Malfunction If a fusing malfunction occurs, dynamic and passive safety circuits disable the fusing heater current. The safety circuit opens RL101 and disconnects the fusing current if the: • Fusing temperature fails to reach 172°C (341.6°F) within 200 seconds of power on, the DC control board asserts RLD . • Fusing temperature rises above the maximum high temperature • Fusing temperature falls below the minimum low temperature.
2.
2.1 Print Engine Control 2.1.6 Interlocks The top door open switch is the only interlock circuit in the DEClaser 5100 printer. Pole 1 disconnects the +24VB; pole 2 asserts DOPEN signal. The rear door opening is sensed by the combined fusing exit/rear door sensor. When the rear door is open, the "Paper Jam" message appears.
2.2 Paper Feeding System Before the feed process can start, the user must first load and select a feeder. When the print job is received, the video controller sends a PRNT signal to the DC control board. If the engine is in standby mode, a short pause occurs while the fusing unit warms up and initial rotation (INTR) occurs. Finally, the feed process can start. 5 4 ! DSG-000601 OPC 3 The feed process starts when the pickup motor runs for 0.1 second.
2.2 Paper Feeding System 2.2.1 Size Sensing Cassettes Table 2–1 shows the size sensing switch code. The three size sensing switches are set by keys that are attached to the right side wall of each cassette. The keys on the fixed cassette are molded into the body of the cassette. The keys on the universal cassette are set by the user. The size sensing information is compared to the user-requested size. If a mismatch occurs, an operator load tray message appears.
2.3 Xerographic Process 2.3 Xerographic Process Figure 2–9 shows the xerographic components of the EP-ED cartridge. The components within the shaded area are part of the EP-ED cartridge. In the next table, each item is listed with a reference for more information. ! " # $ % & ' ( Process See Section... Primary Charging Process 2.3.1 Exposure Process 2.3.2 Development Process 2.3.3 Paper Feeding System 2.2 Transfer Process 2.3.4 Separation Process 2.3.5 Fusing Process 2.3.
2.3 Xerographic Process 2.3.1 Primary Charging Process Primary Charge Roller @ À À @ @ À @ À @ @À À The ac and dc biases on the primary charge roller distributes an even charge across the Organic photoconductor (OPC) drum. The ac bias is applied to keep the primary charge even across the surface of the print drum. AC Bias OPC DC Bias Density can be adjust to obtain a darker print by concurrently changing both the primary and development dc bias.
2.3 Xerographic Process À @ @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ @À À 2.3.3 Development Process Blade Developing Cylinder During the development process, the invisible latent image is painted with toner, producing a visible image on the surface of the OPC drum. AC Bias (1600 Vp-p) The fixed magnet in the developer roller attracts the magnetite-based toner to the surface of the developer roller. The doctor blade scrapes off the excess toner.
2.3 Xerographic Process @ À @ À À @ @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ À @ @À @À À 2.3.5 Separation Process OPC Toner - - - - - - - - - - DSG-000607 + Paper Transfer Static Charge Charging Eliminator Roller The sheet is separated from the print drum by the stiffness of the printed sheet. This process is also referred to as ‘‘curvature separation.’’ The static eliminator reduces the powerful static charge left on the sheet by the transfer process.
2.3 Xerographic Process The two diodes connect the axial shafts to ground and establish a strong negative cleaning charge on the upper roller. The upper metal fusing roller accumulates the charge from the residual transfer charge that adheres the unfused toner to the sheet. This negative charge repels the like-charged toner particles from the upper roller thus making it difficult for the toner to stick to the fusing rollers. The nonstick coating on the upper roller also helps prevent toner from sticking.
2.4 Scanner 2.4 Scanner Figure 2–10 shows the circuits and components within the scanner assembly. When the printer is powered on, the DC control board generates the scanner clock (SCNCLK ) signal that regulates the speed of the scanner motor. The scanner motor does not run until a print command is received.
2.
2.5 HVPSA 2.5 HVPSA Figure 2–11 shows the high-voltage bias circuits that are used by the xerographic processes discussed in Section 2.3. Not shown in Figure 2–11 is the HVPSA/fuser interconnect that makes connection to the DC control board. Figure 2–12 photographically shows the locations of the high-voltage terminals. The HVPSA communicates with the DC control board through the serial SL02 and SLI 2 signal lines.
