Transfer UnitThe transfer assembly consists of the PTL (pre-transfer lamp) and the transfer roller.

The PTL sends light to the OPC drum. This lowers the charge on the drum’s surface and improves transfer efficiency.

The transfer roller moves toner from the OPC drum surface to the paper.

5. Engine

More on the Transfer UnitThe charging voltage, developing voltage and the transfer voltage are controlled by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Each output voltage is changeable according to the PWM duty cycle. The transfer voltage used when the paper passes the transfer roller is decided by environment recognition.

The resistance value of the transfer roller changes due to the surrounding environment in the room or within the machine. This change in resistance in turn changes the value of the voltage due to loading. This voltage is fed back into the set through the A/D converter.Based on this fed back value the PWM cycle is changed to maintain the required transfer voltage.

Safety features1st protection device: Hardware cuts off when the machine overheats (>207°C). 2nd protection device: Software cuts off when the machine overheats (>220°C).3rd protection device: Thermostat cuts off mains power to the fusing lamp (>160°C).

5. Engine

More on the Fusing UnitThe temperature of the heat roller's surface is measured with a thermistor.The AC power is controlled by comparing the target temperature to the value from the thermistor. An error shows if the value from the thermistor is out of the controlling range during the fusing process.

Slide 55

Fusing Unit ComponentsThermostat

The thermostat cuts off the power to the fusing lamp to not let the machine overheat. Power gets cut when the thermostat temperature gets to 160°C

ThermistorThe thermistor detects the surface temperature of the hot roller. This information goes to the main processor, to regulate the temperature of the hot roller

Hot RollerThe fusing lamp heats the surface of the hot roller. Toner gets melted and stays on the surface of the paper when the paper passes between the hot roller and pressure roller

Pressure RollerThe pressure roller is mounted under the hot roller

Laser Scanning Unit (LSU)Converts the video data received from the computer into an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the OPC drum.

5. Engine

More on the Laser Scanning UnitThe laser-scanning unit converts the video data received from the computerinto an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the OPC drum. This is achieved by controlling the laser beam and exposing the surface of the OPC drum to the laser light. The polygon mirror reflects the laser light onto the OPC. Each side of the mirror is one scan line. The OPC drum turns as the paper feeds to scan the image down the page.

More on Toner CartridgeThe toner cartridge contains the OPC unit and toner unit.

The OPC unit consists of the OPC drum and charging roller. The toner cartridge unit consists of the toner, supply roller, developing roller, and doctor blade. There is no toner near end sensor in the machine. But the machine has a toner remaining amount sensor.

A cleaning blade is used to collect used toner.Developing method: Non magnetic 1 element contacting methodToner: Non magnetic 1 element shatter type tonerToner life span: 5,000 sheets (IDC Pattern/A4 standard)OPC cleaning: Electrostatic process

New AIO DetectionA new supply AIO cartridge has a ID chip.

The machine knows a new cartridge has been installed when the chip gets detected.

5. Engine

More on New Toner Cartridge DetectionWhen the new cartridge is installed in the machine, the machine automatically detects by the ID chip that the cartridge is brand-new. Then the machine resets the total dot counter (TOTAL TONER COUNT) and CRU print counter (Cru Prints). and increments the counter for counting the number of CRU replaced (Replaced Toner Counts). In the case when the “Replaced Toner Counts” is 0, the CRU currently installed is regarded as a starter CRU. In this condition, threshold to detect toner end is shorter than that for supply CRU.

B273

Ricoh Europe B.V.Technical Training Centre www.get-u-wice.com61

Slide 61

Toner End DetectionThe machine does not have a toner end sensor.

The machine checks the amount of toner with software. The machine counts and adds up black dots as toner consumption. For example, the following occurs when the machine prints 5% of test chart.

» Starter cartridge: Approx. 4,750,000,000 dots will be added

» Supply cartridge: Approx. 7,500,000,000 dots will be added

You can check the total dot counts from the current cartridge in the System Data List in TECH mode.

Service Manual, Section 6.4.1. to 6.4.2More in SMPS and HVPS

The SMPS supplies either 110V or 220V DC power to the system, and outputs +5V, +12V and +24V supplies to the main and other PBAs. The HVPS creates the high voltage of THV/MHV/Supply/Dev and supplies it to the toner cartridge. The CPU modifies some of these voltage settings to provide the ideal voltages to create the image. The HVPS part uses the 24V, and outputs the high voltage for THV/MHV/BIAS. Outputted high voltage is supplied to the following parts:

Toner CartridgeOPC CartridgeTransfer roller.

Fusing UnitThe procedure to reassemble the fusing unit is a bit complicated.

The stripper pawls must be put in the correct position before you can reassemble the fusing unit.Stripper pawls (red circles) and stripper pawl heads (red arrows) must be set as shown below.

7. Replacements and Adjustments

More on Reassembling the Fusing UnitThe most important thing to note when you reassemble the fusing unit, is the position of the 4 stripper pawls. The stripper pawls must be put back to their original position when you reassemble the fusing unit. The machine will still work if the stripper pawls are not put back in their correct positions. However the print quality will be severely affected. There is a procedure to do this.

1. Remove the stripper pawls from the stripper pawl slots. 2. Put the top part of the fusing unit and the bottom part of the fusing unit

together again.3. Set the stripper pawls into the stripper pawls holder slots and snap

them into the slots. 4. Make sure the stripper pawl heads sit as they are shown in the slide.5. Finally, reassemble the rest of the fusing unit.
