1-2. General Flow for Printing Process
The following shows the general printing process flow.
Note: For detailed printing sequence, see 10 “Printing Sequence”.
Print Command
Polygon motor ON
Starting processing
Paper take-up
Laser emission
•
Scanning the image data
•
Paper feeding
Developing the image data
Transfer the image data
Fusing the toner
Paper ejection
The polygon motor in the print head unit starts turning.
•
Charge bias, developer bias, seal bias and transfer
bias voltages are applied.
•
The I/C (Imaging Cartridge) drive motor (M1) starts
turning.
•
The transport motor (M2) starts turning.
•
The paper take-up solenoid turns ON to feed paper.
A laser beam is emitted at constant power.
•
A laser beam is scanned on the surface of the PC drum
to produce an electrostatic latent image.
•
Upon the synchronizing roller sensor (PC2) detects the
presence of paper, the synchronizing clutch turns ON
to turn the synchronizing roller for feeding paper.
Toner is applied to the PC drum to produce a visible toner
image.
The toner image on the surface of the PC drum is trans-
ferred onto the paper.
The toner is permanently fixed onto the paper.
The paper is ejected.
