2. MECHANICS 2.
2.2 Paper Transfer 2.2.1 Paper Supply The pick-up roller picks up one sheet of paper from the paper feeder every time it is rotated and feeds it to the paper feed roller. Pick-up roller p Registration sensor lever Hopper plate Separation pad Fig. 2-31 The paper is gripped between the pick-up roller and the separation pad and separated into individual sheets. The pick-up roller is directly connected to the sector gear, whose rotation is forcibly stopped by the gear stopper.
2.2.3 Paper Eject The completion of paper eject is detected in the following manner: (a) When the leading edge of the paper pushes down the eject sensor actuator located in the fixing unit, the photo sensor (photo interrupter) is opened and detects the start of paper eject. (b) When the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the paper eject sensor actuator, the photo sensor is closed and the completion of paper eject is recognized.
2.3 Sensors 2.3.1 Cover Sensor Detects opening and closing of the top cover. Top Cover Cover Switch Fig. 2-35 2.3.2 Toner Empty Sensor Detects if there is toner in the toner cartridge. It also detects whether or not the drum unit is installed. (The toner cartridge is installed in the drum unit). Toner Empty Sensor Fig.
2.4 Drum Unit 2.4.1 Photosensitive Drum Generates the latent electrostatic image and develops the image on the drum surface. 2.4.2 Primary Charger Forms a uniform charge on the drum surface. (1) Corona wire Generates the ion charge on the drum. (2) Grid Spreads the ion charge evenly over the drum surface. 2.4.3 Development Roller Develops the latent electrostatic image on the drum surface by the addition of the toner. 2.4.
2.5.2 Exposure Stage After the drum is positively charged, it is exposed to the light emitted from the laser unit. Laser Beam Drum Paper Laser beam f lens Laser detector Polygon mirror Laser diode Motor Lens Fig. 2-38 The area exposed to the laser beam is the image to be printed. The surface potential of the exposed area is reduced, forming the electrostatic image to be printed.
2.5.3 Developing Developing causes the toner to be attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum so as to transform it into a visible image. The developer consists of a non-magnetic toner. The development roller is made of conductive rubber and the supply roller (which is also made of conductive sponge) rotate against each other. The toner is charged and carried from the supply roller to the development roller.
2.5.5 Drum Cleaning Stage In the image transfer stage, not all the toner on the photosensitive drum is transferred onto the paper but some remains on the drum. In the drum cleaning stage, the drum surface is cleaned by the cleaning roller, so that residual toner on the drum surface is removed and collected on the cleaning roller itself. The residual toner on the cleaning roller will be discharged to the drum during starting or non-printing time.
