Basic operation Major printer systems The product contains the following five systems: ● Engine-control system ● Laser/scanner system ● Image-formation system ● Media feed system ● Option Printer block diagram Figure 1-1 Printer block diagram LASER SCANNER SYSTEM IMAGE-FORMATION SYSTEM ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM MEDIA FEED SYSTEM OPTION 2 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
Sequence of operation The DC controller in the engine-control system controls the operational sequences of the printer. The table below describes durations and operations for each period of a print operation from when the printer is turned on until the motor stops rotating Normal sequence of operation Table 1-1 Sequence of operation Name Timing Purpose WAIT From the time the power switch is turned on or the door is closed until the printer is ready for a print operation.
Formatter-control system The formatter is responsible for the following procedures: ● Controlling sleep mode ● Receiving and processing print data from the various product interfaces ● Monitoring control-panel functions and relaying product-status information (through the control panel and the network or bidirectional interface) ● Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the DC controller PCA ● Storing font information ● Communicating with the host computer through the network o
Memory The random access memory (RAM) on the formatter PCA contains the page, I/O buffers, and the font storage area. It stores printing and font information received from the host system, and can also serve to temporarily store a full page of print-image data before the data is sent to the print engine. Memory capacity can be increased by adding a DIMM to the formatter. Note that adding memory might also increase the print speed for complex graphics.
Engine-control system The engine-control system coordinates all product functions, according to commands that the formatter sends. The engine-control system drives the laser/scanner system, the image formation system, and the pickup/feed/delivery system.

Fuser-control circuit The fuser-control circuit monitors and controls the temperature in the fuser. The product uses ondemand fusing.
Fuser failure detection The DC controller determines a fuser unit failure, deactivates the FUSER HEATER CONTROL signal, releases the relay to interrupt power supply to the fuser heater and notifies the formatter of a failure state when it encounters the following conditions: ● ● ● ● Start-up failure ◦ If the main thermistor does not detect a specified temperature during the start-up process of the heater in the wait period.
Fuser temperature control The fuser temperature control maintains the temperature of the fuser heater at its targeted temperature. The DC controller monitors the FUSER TEMPERATURE (FSRTH1, FSRTH2) signals and sends the FUSER HEATER CONTROL (FSRD) signal according to the detected temperature. The fuser heater control circuit controls the fuser heater depending on the signal so that the heater remains at the targeted temperature.
Fuser protective function The protective function detects an abnormal temperature rise of the fuser unit and interrupts power supply to the fuser heater. The following three protective components prevent an abnormal temperature rise of the fuser heater: ● DC controller ◦ ● Fuser heater safety circuit ◦ ● The fuser heater safety circuit interrupts power supply to the fuser heater when the detected temperature of the main and sub thermistors is abnormal.
Low-voltage power supply The low-voltage power supply (LVPS) converts ac input voltage to dc voltage. The LVPS has two fuses on the PCA. The LVPS 24 V output is interrupted to the fuser and the high-voltage power supply if the cartridge-door interlock switch (SW501) is in the off position (cover open). WARNING! The product power switch only interrupts dc voltage from the LVPS.
Overcurrent/overvoltage protection The low-voltage power supply has a protective function against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent failures in the power supply circuit. If an overcurrent or overvoltage condition occurs, the system automatically cuts off the output voltage. If the DC power is not being supplied from the low-voltage power supply, the protective function might be running. In such case, turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.
High-voltage power supply The high-voltage power supply (HVPS) applies biases to the following components: ● Primary charging roller ● Developing roller ● Transfer roller ● Fusing film Figure 1-14 High-voltage power supply Engine controller unit High-voltage power supply DC controller Fuser Fuser film FSRB Fuser film bias circuit FILMB Pressure roller Cartridge Primary charging bias circuit PRI To primary charging roller To developing roller Developing bias circuit DEV Photosensitive drum
Formatter Formatter heartbeat LED The heartbeat LED indicates that the formatter is functioning correctly. While the product is initializing after you turn the product on, the LED blinks rapidly, and then turns off. When the product has finished the initialization sequence, the heartbeat LED pulses on and off. For more information abut the heartbeat LED see Formatter heartbeat LED on page 133.
Laser/scanner system The laser/scanner system receives VIDEO signals from the ECU and the formatter and converts the signals into latent images on the photosensitive drum. The main components of the laser/scanner are the laser unit and the scanner motor unit. The DC controller sends signals to the laser/scanner to control the functions of these components.
Laser failure detection The DC controller determines an optical unit failure and notifies the formatter, if the laser/scanner encounters the following conditions: ENWW ● The scanner motor does not reach a specified rotation within a specified period of the scanner motor start up. ● The rotation of the scanner motor is out of specified range for a specified period during the scanner motor drive. ● The BD interval is out of a specified value during a print operation.
Image-formation system Electrophotographic process The electrophotographic process forms an image on the paper. Following are the major components used in the process: ● Print cartridge ● Transfer roller ● Fuser ● Laser/scanner The DC controller uses the laser/scanner and HVPS to form the toner image on the photosensitive drum. The image is transferred to the print media and then fused onto the paper.
Image formation process Each of the following process function independently and must be coordinated with the other product processes.
Latent-image formation stage During the latent-image formation stage, the laser/scanner forms an invisible image on the photosensitive drum in the print cartridge. Primary charging Step 1: DC and AC biases are applied to the primary charging roller, which transfers a uniform negative potential to the photosensitive drum.
Developing stage Print cartridge Step 3: In the print cartridge, the developing cylinder comes in contact with the photosensitive drum to deposit toner onto the electrostatic latent image. Figure 1-20 Print cartridge Blade Developing roller Exposed area Unexposed area Unexposed area Exposed area Developing bias Photosensitive drum Toner acquires a negative charge from the friction that occurs when the developing roller rotatesagainst the developing blade.
Transfer stage Step 4: The transfer charging roller, to which a DC positive bias is applied, imparts a positive charge on the print media. When the print media comes in contact with the photosensitive drum, the toner is transferred to the print media. Figure 1-21 Transfer Photosensitive drum Media Transfer roller Transfer bias Step 5: The elasticity of the print media causes its separation from the photosensitive drum. A static charge eliminator aids separation by weakening any electrostatic adhesion.
The product uses an on-demand fuser method. The toner image is permanently affixed to the printing paper by heat and pressure. Figure 1-23 Fusing Fuser heater Brush Fuser film Toner Media Pressure roller Fuser bias Cleaning stage Step 7: The cleaning blade scrapes the residual toner off of the photosensitive drum and deposits it into the waste toner case.
Toner detection The product uses a nonvolatile memory tag built into the print cartridge. Print-cartridge detection happens when the engine controller detects the presence of a genuine HP print-cartridge that contains a memory tag. Toner detection happens as the engine controller reads or writes the data that is stored on the memory tag. The engine controller renews the information in the prescribed timing and reads or writes it from or to the memory tag.
Pickup, feed, and delivery system The pickup/feed/delivery system consists of several types of feed rollers and sensors. The ECU uses a motor and two solenoids to drive the rollers. Three media-detection sensors detect paper as it passes through the product. If media does not reach or pass each sensor within a specified time, the ECU determines that a jam has occurred and alerts the formatter.

Paper pickup and feed The following figure shows the pickup and feed paper path. NOTE: Duplex models include a duplex media-feed path for automatic two-sided printing.
Jam detection The product uses the following sensors to detect the presence of media and to check for jams. If media does not reach or pass each sensor within a specified time, the ECU determines that a jam has occurred and alerts the formatter. NOTE: To find the following components, see Photo sensors and switches on page 34.

2 ENWW Removal and replacement ● Removal and replacement strategy ● Service approach ● Removal and replacement procedures 45
Removal and replacement strategy General cautions during removal and replacement This chapter describes the removal and replacement of field-replaceable units (FRUs) only. Replacing FRUs is generally the reverse of removal. Occasionally, notes and tips are included to provide directions for difficult or critical replacement procedures. HP does not support repairing individual subassemblies or troubleshooting to the component level.
● Small needle-nose pliers ● ESD mat ● Penlight CAUTION: Always use a Phillips screwdriver (callout 1). Do not use a pozidrive screwdriver (callout 2) or any motorized screwdriver. These can damage screws or screw threads. Figure 2-1 Phillips and pozidrive screwdriver comparison Types of screws NOTE: The illustration in this section are for reference only. The screws in your product might look slightly different.
Service approach Product repair normally begins by using the product internal diagnostics and the following two-step process: 1. Isolate the problem to the major system (for example, the network or server, or the product). 2. Troubleshoot the problem by using the procedures in chapter 6. After you find a faulty part, the product can usually be repaired at the assembly level by replacing fieldreplaceable units (FRUs). Some mechanical assemblies might need to be repaired at the subassembly level.
ENWW 7. Send a print job from the host computer, and then verify that the output meets expectations. 8. If necessary, restore any customer-specified settings. 9. Clean the outside of the product with a damp cloth.
