paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded in the drawer, in a
sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.
Keep consumables out of the reach of children.
Do not touch the PC Drum with bare hands.
The same sized paper is of two kinds, short grain and long grain. Short grain paper
should only be fed through the copier crosswise, long grain paper should only be fed
lengthwise. The packing material will be marked.
If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water.
Do not throw away any used consumables (PC Drum, starter, toner, etc.). They are to be
collected.
Do not burn, bury in the ground, or throw into the water any consumables (PC Drum,
starter, toner, etc.).

Other Precautions
Use the following precautions when performing service jobs for a copier that uses a laser.
When a service job needs to be performed in the laser beam path, such as when working
around the printer head or PC Drum, be sure first to unplug the power cord of the copier
from the outlet.
If the job requires that the power cord be left plugged in, observe the following precautions.
1. Take off your watch, ring and any other reflective object and wear laser protective goggles.
2. Keep users away from the job site.
3. Do not bring a highly reflective tool into the laser beam path during the service job.

COPY PROCESS
Copy Process Overview
4034M544CA
1. PC Drum
Made up of an aluminum pipe coated with a photoconductive layer, on which an electrostatic latent image is formed.
2. Drum Charging
A uniform negative DC charge is deposited across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
3. Photoelectric Conversion
A CCD sensor is used to convert the image data represented by light reflected off the
original to a corresponding electric signal which, in turn, is output to the IR image processing section.
4. IR Image Processing
The analog electric signal is converted to an 8-bit digital image signal (A/D conversion)
which, in turn, goes through appropriate corrections before being output to the PH image
processing section.
5. PH Image Processing
After going through corrections, the digital image signal is converted to a corresponding
electric signal (D/A conversion), with which the laser is turned ON or OFF as necessary.
6. Laser Exposure
The laser beam strikes the surface of the PC Drum, forming an electrostatic latent image.
7. Developing
Toner negatively charged in the Developer Mixing Chamber is attracted onto the electrostatic latent image changing it to a visible, developed image.
A developing bias (Vb) is applied to the Developing Roller to prevent toner from being
attracted onto those areas of the PC Drum which correspond to the background areas of
the original.
8. Paper Take-up
Paper is supplied from the paper feed tray.

A compact comb electrode is used for drum charging to reduce the amount of ozone produced and save space. The Drum Charge Corona deposits a charge evenly across the
entire surface of the PC Drum.
The Scorotron system is used and the grid mesh provided between the corona wire and
the PC Drum ensures that a uniform charge is deposited across the entire surface of the
PC Drum.

The ground contact (Ground Plate) of the PC Drum is located on the inside on its lefthand side. It remains in contact with the drum shaft at all times. When the Imaging Unit is
loaded in the copier, the drum shaft comes into contact with the Ground Plate of the PC
Drum. The potential on the surface of the PC Drum exposed to the laser beam is then
grounded through the Ground Plate to the frame of the copier.

PC DRUM CHARGING
The surface of the PC Drum is deposited with charge through corona discharge from the
PC Drum Charge Corona.
The grid mesh interposed between the corona wire and the PC Drum ensures that a uniform charge is deposited across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
The corona unit has a comb electrode that discharges only toward the grid mesh. This
results in the amount of ozone produced being smaller than with the wire electrode.

TONER RECOVERY
The Cleaning Blade is used to scrape residual toner off the surface of the PC Drum.
The spent toner is conveyed through the Recycling Duct and eventually back to the
Developer Mixing Chamber.
The following control is provided to prevent paper dust from being wedged between the
Cleaning Blade and the PC Drum. When the cumulative period of time through which the
PC Drum has been driven reaches a predetermined value, the PC Drum is turned backward (by turning the Main Motor backward). Shoulder gears comprising two different
parts are provided on the copier. This ensures that the drive is transmitted only to the
Imaging Unit, but not any other parts, during backward rotation.

A positive charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to transfer the toner image
formed on the surface of the PC Drum onto the paper.
The charge applied to the Image Transfer Roller is varied according to the following conditions to ensure that image transfer efficiency is stabilized.
Paper Type: The amount of charge is made less for OHP transparencies.
Paper width: The smaller the paper width, the greater the amount of charge.
B/W ratio of image: The lower the B/W ratio, the greater the amount of charge.
A negative charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to return toner sticking to the
Image Transfer Roller to the PC Drum. It is performed in the following timings:
(At the start and end of a copy cycle; when the Power Switch is turned ON; when a misfeed or malfunction is reset)
10.2
Paper separation is accomplished through the curvature separation system that works
on the diameters of the PC Drum and the Image Transfer Roller.
Since the PC Drum has a small diameter, there is no likelihood that the paper will be
wound around the PC Drum. The paper is separated by its own weight.
The Charge Neutralizing Plate neutralizes any charge left on the paper after image transfer, thereby preventing discharge noise that could otherwise occur when the paper is
separated.
The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers properly separate from the surface of the PC
Drum thin paper or other type of paper that is hard to separate.

The coefficient of friction between the Paper Take-Up Roll and Separator Roll is effectively used to prevent double feed of paper.
When one sheet of paper is taken up: The coefficient of friction on the front side of the
sheet of paper taken up and fed through the space
between the Paper Take-Up Roll and Separator Roll
is the same as that on the backside of the sheet of
paper, allowing the paper to be properly fed into the
machine.
When two or more sheets of paper are taken up: The coefficient of friction between the
paper and the Separator Roll is greater
than that between the sheets of paper,
which allows only the top sheet of paper
to be fed into the machine.

If paper of a small size (width of 250 mm or less) or thick paper is used to run a multicopy cycle, the temperature on the edges of the Fusing Rollers tends to run high, meaning that the temperature of the Fusing Rollers varies among different spots of the rollers.
When the cumulative number of copies made through continuous copy cycles* exceeds
30, the paper take-up interval is made longer, thereby allowing the temperatures of the
Fusing Rollers at different spots to be uniform
Continuous copy cycle: Continuous copy cycles run with an interval of 2 min. or less
between cycles.

The document is taken up as the Pick-Up Roller and Take-Up Roller turn.
The Pick-Up Roller transports the document up to the Take-Up Roller.
After a scan is completed, the Main Motor is turned backward to raise the Pick-Up Roller.
The Pick-Up Roller and the Take-Up Roller are turned through the Paper Take-Up Clutch
and by a gear train and a belt driven by the Main Motor.
The Paper Empty Sensor is used to detect a document loaded on the Document Loading
Tray.
The Document Stoppers determine the leading edge position of the document loaded on
the Document Loading Tray. They are in the lowered, swung-down position in the
standby state and swing upward when the document is to be taken up.
The swing-up and swing-down motion of the Document Stoppers is operatively connected to the raising and lowering of the Pick-Up Roller.

Composition/Operation
The coefficient of friction between the Take-Up Roller and Separator Roller is effectively
used to prevent double feed of paper.
When one
sheet of paper
is taken up
: Since the friction coefficient on the top side of the paper is equal to
that on the underside of the paper, the Separator Roller is turned by
the Take-up Roller. This feeds the paper forward.
When two or
: The friction coefficient between the sheets of paper is smaller than
more sheets of
that between the paper and Separator Roller. This stops the Separapaper are taken
tor Roller, allowing only the first sheet of paper to be transported by
up

Composition/Operation
The document size is determined by means of two different systems of document width
detection and document length detection.
Document Width Detection
The width of an original is detected by the combination of Paper Width Sensors as
detected while the original is being taken up.
Each sensor is located as follows with reference to the Document Edge Guide in the rear.
Document Length Detection
The length of the original is detected by the Paper Length Sensor when the document is
loaded in the unit.
The Paper Length Sensor is located at the Document Loading Tray.

There is a magnet installed in the ADF body to allow the copier to know that the ADF is
raised or lowered.
This magnet actuates the Size Reset Switch on the copier.

Composition/Operation
A loop is formed in the paper between the Separator Fingers and the Paper Take-Up
Roller. The turning force of the Paper Take-Up Roller overcomes the block of the Separator Fingers, causing the top sheet of paper to ride over the fingers and be fed out of the
tray into the copier.
When there are only two sheets of left in the tray and if the friction force of the Paper Lifting Plate is low, the bottom sheet of paper is taken up and fed into the copier with the top
sheet of paper. To prevent this situation from occurring, there is a Friction Plate provided
on top of the Paper Lifting Plate.
Before the Paper Take-Up Roller contacts the paper, the Paper Take-Up Roll holds the
paper down so that the paper remains stationary before its being taken up by the Paper
Take-Up Roller.

Composition/Operation
Paper is fed into the Shifting Unit along a straight path or shifted from the reference
straight path position. This exit position shifting mechanism allows different finishing
functions offered by the machine (Non-Sort, Sort, and Group) to be effected.
<Straight Feeding>
The paper that travels along a straight path is fed straight into the Shifting Unit without
being shifted sideways as the Exit Roller turns.

<Shifted Feeding>
When the trailing edge of the paper transported to the exit section moves past the Fusing
Roller, the Shift Motor is energized to move the Transport Roller sideways.
The paper is fed into the Shifting Unit as it is shifted sideways.
The Exit Roller is moved sideways by turning the motor forward or backward.
The Exit Roller is detected at its home position by a sensor.
