Paper Exit Driven Roller and Paper Support Guide
Paper Exit Driven Roller
The standard paper exit driven roller is drum-shaped and improves the stacking performance of the main machine exit tray by adding stiffness to the paper. However, if the paper has too much stiffness, it may jam as it enters the optional paper path when the internal peripheral is connected. Therefore, a flat type driven roller [A] is used to reduce the stiffness when transporting the paper.
The following options use the flat type driven roller:
- Internal Finisher SR3130
- Bridge Unit BU3070
- Internal Finisher SR3180
- Side Tray Type M3
Detailed Descriptions
Paper Support Guide
To prevent paper jam when the paper is delivered from the machine’s paper exit to the internal exit peripherals, attach the paper support guide [C] (supplied with the peripherals).
Removing Wrinkling in the Tray
When paper larger than A3 is set, wrinkles may appear at the end of the paper. As a countermeasure, the previous machine used an L-shaped sheet metal .
In this machine, the support components [A] and a decal are attached, which are also available to the end-user.
For small size paper, the side fences are sufficient because the paper is light, but paper larger than A3 must be set at the position indicated by the decal.
Tray 2, Paper Feed Unit PB3220/PB3210 (D787), and Paper Feed Unit PB3150 (D694) are also changed from L-shaped sheet metal to support component.

MECHANISM
No. Description No. Description 1 Fusing lamp (center) 4 Reflector 2 Fusing lamp (edge) 5 Heat conduction plate 3 Fusing sleeve belt 6 Nip pad
- SU (Enhanced-Quick Start Up) fusing
This fusing unit has the heat conduction plate added to the pressure pad on the fusing nip and removed the shield plate control.
The model of 35 cpm or below require little amount of heat, so it controls the temperature by the heat conduction plate and lamp control at the edges and center.
The heat conduction plate on the nip (on the surface of the pressure pad) disperses the temperature deviation between the front and rear parts of the fusing sleeve belt, so as to even out the temperature.
A fusing sleeve belt is driven by drag rotation following a pressure roller, and presses a nip pad against the pressure roller to fix toner on the paper.
The fusing lamp heats the fusing sleeve belt, and the area of the belt which is heated moves in an anticlockwise direction so that heat is transmitted up to the contact point with the pressure roller.
Lamps
There are two lamps. Lamp power:
NA/TWN EU/AA/CHN Center 647 W 700 W Edge 344 W 527 W
Nip pad
Presses against the pressure roller to form a fusing nip. The top surface is covered with a slippery sheet.
Reflector
Transmits heat efficiently to the fusing sleeve belt.
Flanges
Situated on both ends of the fusing sleeve belt. They maintain the shape of the belt.
Heat conduction plate
Disperses the temperature deviation between the front and rear edges of the fusing sleeve belt to make the temperature uniform.
Fusing Drive
The pressure roller is driven by the fusing motor [A].
The fusing sleeve belt [C] is driven by the pressure roller (drag rotation).
Detailed Descriptions
Pressure Release Mechanism
The pressure release mechanism helps the user to remove paper jams from the fusing unit more easily. A pressure lever [C] is released by the drive of the paper exit/pressure release motor [A], and the pressure roller [D] separates from the fusing sleeve belt.
The pressure roller HP sensor [E] detects the encoder , and determines the position of the pressure roller.
After replacing the pressure roller, if the sensor does not detect the encoder for 3 times continuously after a job is completed, SC569-00 (Paper Exit/ Pressure Release Motor Error Detection) is generated.
Fusing Temperature Control
Warm-up mode
After power ON, fusing warm-up begins. The fusing motor is switched ON, the halogen lamp is energized, and the fusing temperature is increased to the "reload target temperature." When fusing warm-up is completed, the fusing motor stays ON for a certain time, and the fusing temperature is maintained at the "reload target temperature."
Standby mode
After fusing reload, when a certain time has elapsed, power supply to the halogen lamp is switched OFF, and the fusing motor is switched OFF. At the same time, the temperature is maintained at the "standby target temperature (SP1-107-001)" by the halogen lamp.
In standby mode, the Fusing motor rotates once every 60 minutes.
The operation interval of the Fusing motor can be changed by SP1-122-001 (Standby Rotation Setting Rotation Interval) but the change may cause the uneven glossiness on the image.
Printing ready mode
After returning to standby mode, the halogen lamp is re-energized, and the fusing temperature is raised to the "printing ready target temperature." If printing is not required, the machine again enters the standby mode after a certain time has elapsed.
If printing is required in standby mode during return, the halogen lamp is energized, the fusing temperature is increased to "target temperature after reload/after paper feed," and the print job starts.
CPM Down Control
Detailed Descriptions
To maintain image quality and machine quality, this machine has a low-temperature CPM mode and high-temperature CPM mode, and implements 3 levels of CPM down according to the usage situation and machine state.
Low-temperature CPM mode
In a low-temperature environment, the fusing lamp cannot keep up, and it may be difficult to maintain the fusing target temperature. To handle this, the detection temperature of the fusing center thermopile is checked every few seconds, and if the detection temperature during the check is below a threshold value, the CPM is decreased by 1 level.
This low temperature CPM reduction is performed in the following 3 levels:
CPM down level
Mode Level Normal CPM 100% CPM down 1 80% CPM down 2 65% CPM down 3 50%
Hot CPM mode
To shorten warm-up time and reduce the TEC value, this machine employs a fusing unit with a low heat capacity.
For this reason, the temperature of those parts of the fusing sleeve belt where paper does not pass easily increases, and the outside of the paper width may get extremely hot. In order to prevent the belt breakage due to this excessive temperature rise, CPM down is implemented depending on the usage conditions. CPM down can be implemented in the following 3 levels depending on the detection temperature of the temperature sensor, or the paper passage time.
- The down level % is a value for the case where a typical paper (Normal paper: A4 or smaller paper sizes) passes through the SEF at normal speed. There may be some differences depending on paper size/paper thickness.
CPM down level
- SU (Enhanced-Quick Start Up) fusing
Mode Level Normal CPM 100% CPM down 1 80% CPM down 2 50% CPM down 3 30%
CPM down determination using a temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is checked at given intervals, and if the detection temperature is above a threshold value, the CPM is decreased by 1 level.
Since the points at which temperature tends to increase depend on the paper size, the sensor used is changed depending on the paper size.
Paper width (length) Check sensor A3/DLT/B4 Pressure roller thermistor (edge) LT/A4 Thermopile (edge) B5/A5/B6/A6 Pressure roller thermistor (center)
CPM down determination using paper passage time
Depending on the paper size, it may not be possible to determine the points on the fusing sleeve belt which tend to rise in temperature by a sensor.
Therefore, time conditions are also used to determine CPM down, and if continuous paper passage time is above a threshold value, CPM is decreased by 1 level.
(When CPM down is performed by time conditions, CPM does not increase thereafter.)
Detailed Descriptions
Curl Correction Mechanism
This machine provides a curl reduction mechanism on the fusing exit.
Curling is reduced by bending in the reverse direction of the curl created at the fuser nip and forcibly adding resilience using the fusing exit roller , fuser exit driven roller [C], and fusing junction gate [A], located at the fuser nip exit.
The fusing junction gate is retracted for duplex printing/thick paper to prevent image smearing.
Drive
The fusing junction gate [C] is rotated via the arm by turning ON the fusing exit drive solenoid [A] located on the main machine side.
When the solenoid is ON, the fusing junction gate is at no curl correction position.
When the solenoid is OFF, it is put in the continuous curl correction position by spring [A].
Availability of curl correction by print mode
For duplex printing, or using thick paper, the fusing junction gate is retracted to prevent image smearing.

ANTI-CONDENSATION HEATER FOR SCANNER, PCDU, AND PAPER FEED TRAY
The power circuit of the anti-condensation heaters for scanner and PCDU is linked to the switch of the paper feed tray heater. Therefore, when the paper feed tray heater power is turned OFF, all heaters are de-energized. In addition, the operation during printing is controlled so as not to exceed the maximum power.
The behavior of the heaters when the machine is in standby mode is controlled by SP5-805-001 (Anti-Condensation Heater OFF/ON).

No. Part name 1 Development intake fan 3 Paper exit cooling fan 4 Fusing exhaust fan 5 Deodorization filter 6 Ozone exhaust fan 7 Toner supply cooling fan 8 Ozone filter/Dust filter 9 Controller box cooling fan 10 PSU cooling fan MECHANISM
By installing the duct corresponding to each fan, the air flow is efficiently controlled to a cooling target. Moreover, improvement in quietness and energy-saving efficiency is achieved by performing stepwise operation of the fan according to the imaging temperature.
Cooling of PSU
Air taken in by the PSU cooling fan is guided near the cooling target by the duct, and is efficiently cooled.
Cooling of Toner Supply Parts
Air taken in with the toner supply cooling fan is guided to circulate around the toner bottle, and is discharged from the side of the delivery tray to outside the machine. It is aimed to achieve heat insulation from the stack of paper to the toner bottle by reducing the melting point of the toner.
Cooling of PCDU parts
By discharging air taken in from the development intake fan at the front, from the ozone exhaust fan at the rear, a uniform air flow is attained and efficient cooling is realized. Discharge of ozone and scattering of toner are prevented by installing an ozone filter and a dust filter in front of the ozone exhaust fan.
Cooling of Fusing Parts
Air taken in from the paper discharge cooling fan at the front is discharged from the fusing heat discharge fan at the rear to outside the machine. By cooling the paper immediately after fusing, not only cooling of the fusing exit sensor but also reduction of stored heat of the stacked paper and reduction of curl are realized. This also serves to prevent condensation on the paper discharge guide sheet. As a measure against odor, a deodorization filter is installed downstream from the fusing exhaust fan.
Cooling in Controller Box
Air is circulated by the controller box cooling fan installed in the controller box, preventing temperature rise in the controller box.
Crisis Management When Temperature Rises in the Machine
In order to suppress excessive temperature rise in the machine and maintain equipment quality, a temperature sensor (imaging temperature sensor (thermistor)) [A] is installed in the machine. The imaging temperature sensor (thermistor) detects the temperature environment in the machine, and controls cooling operation.
Detailed Descriptions
Overview of cooling operation in the machine
The temperature in the machine is detected during output and after output, and the interior of the machine is cooled by fan operation (stepwise operation of fan, prolonged fan rotation after paper has passed through) according to the temperature inside the machine.
However, if the temperature inside the machine rises significantly due to passing a large volume of paper, in addition to fan operation, the CPM is specified to control the temperature in the machine.
Cooling operation during output
Perform cooling operation under the following conditions.

When the time interval from the previous job is less than 10 minutes. Or, when the time interval from the previous job is more than 10 minutes, and 5 minutes have elapsed from start of machine. - *3 Operating condition:
For 36°C or above, full speed rotation at 24V
Changes from low speed rotation to full speed rotation when printing continues for more than 5 minutes while the temperature inside the machine is 36°C or lower
Cooling operation after output
Usually, after output, fan operation is suspended.
If the temperature in the machine after output is high, fan rotation is continued after output to cool the interior of the machine.
Helmholtz Silencer
The Helmholtz silencer applies the resonance phenomenon called the "Helmholtz resonance" to emit a sound having reverse phase of the motor frequency by resonance and cancel the motor noise.
On this machine, it is located on the controller box side to reduce the noise. The BCU is mounted on the mold [A] of the Helmholtz silencer.

With this data, and the power consumption values from the specifications, we can estimate the amount of energy that is used by the machine.
This should only be used as a reference value, because the power consumption specifications are measured in a controlled environment with a constant power supply.
To get an exact measurement at the customer’s site, a watt meter must be used to measure the actual energy consumed.
To use SP8-941 to calculate the energy consumed:
[*]At the end of the measurement period, read the values of SP8-941-001 to 005 again.
[*]Find the amount of time spent in each mode (subtract the earlier measurement from the later measurement).
[*]Multiply this by the power consumption spec for each mode.
[*]Convert the result to kWh (kilowatt hours)
We recommend that the default settings related to energy saving should be kept.RECOMMENDATION
Detailed Descriptions
[*]First, the sensor detects the presence of the operator within the arc in front of the machine, and then signals the machine to leave the STR mode (or Engine OFF mode) and enter the Pre-recovery mode.PROXIMITY SENSOR (HUMAN DETECTION SENSOR)
OVERVIEW
The proximity sensor (human detection sensor) is located on the right upper corner of the main machine.
When the machine has been idle for a long period and the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) detects the presence of anyone in front of the machine, it signals the machine to prepare itself for quick recovery to operation status by shortening the time required for the machine to recover full operation (pre-recovery mode) before the operator even touches the machine or operation panel. The proximity sensor (human detection sensor) employs infrared and can detect the presence of the operator within an arc of 150° out to 1.8 m (6 ft.) away from the front of the machine.
SENSOR OPERATION
There are three phases in the operation of the proximity sensor (human detection sensor):
[*]Second, as soon as the machine enters the Pre-recovery mode it resets the Engine Off mode timer for 5 min. If the operator does not touch the machine for 5 minutes, the machine slips back into the Engine Off mode. If the operator touches the LCD, or opens and closes the ADF or front cover, etc., the machine shifts to Standby mode.
[*]Third, once the machine enters Standby mode, if the operator does nothing to start operation, the machine will gradually step down from Standby mode to Lower Energy mode, Quiet mode, Engine Off mode, and then finally to STR mode.
[*]STR mode. Suspend-to-RAM mode. The power supply to the CPU, adjacent chips, and the clock on the controller board is shut down.OPERATION MODES
Here are more details about these operation mode levels.
[*]Engine Off mode. The fusing lamps and other engine components remain off. The operation panel backlight is off, but there is power supplied to the operation panel and the controller boards.
[*]Pre-recovery mode. The operation panel and HDD are on but the engine components remain off (Energy Save mode). However, the operation backlight still remains off, so there is no change on the operation panel to indicate that the machine has shifted from STR mode, through Engine Off mode, and into Pre-recovery mode.
[*]Quiet mode. Fusing lamps still remain off, but the HDD and SD cards are accessible so the machine can receive jobs (Data In) and incoming faxes.
[*]Lower Power mode. Finally, power is restored to the fusing lamps but maintained at low temperature.
[*]Standby mode. The machine is ready to operate.
Detailed Descriptions
[*]Cycling the machine off/on does not cancel this error.USER TOOL
The operation of the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) can be switched off and on with a User Tool setting.- Press "User Tools" on the operation panel.
- Select Machine features > System Settings > General Settings > Human Detection Sensor
- You can switch the sensor off/on by selected Disabled/Enabled. The default setting is "Enabled".
RELATED SC CODES
One of two SC codes is issued if the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) fails.
SC869-01 Proximity sensor (human detection sensor) failure: Error 1
The sensor remained on for over 24 hours.
[*]When this error occurs the machine enters sensor failure mode and ignores subsequent input from the proximity sensor (human detection sensor).
[*]Even though the sensor is on, the machine does not enter Pre-recovery mode, and the Engine Off timer setting is not affected and continues to operate normally.
[*]To cancel the error, switch off the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) with the User Tool setting described above.
[*]The sensor and its components require replacement.
SC869-02 Proximity sensor (human detection sensor) failure: Error 2
The sensor remained off, even after the operator performed 20 actions with the machine operation panel, opening and closing the front cover, ADF, etc. The machine will issue this error code after every 20 events in operation of the machine.
[*]Cycling the machine off/on does not cancel this error.
[*]To cancel the error, switch off the proximity sensor (human detection sensor) with the User Tool setting described above.
[*]The sensor and its components require replacement.
There is one proximity sensor (human detection sensor) related SP code: SP5102-203 Auto Detect: human detection check. This is an on/off check.RELATED SP CODE
[*]Enter "1" to switch the sensor on.
This SP is used to check the operation of the sensor. It confirms that the sensor can be switched off and on normally. (Default: On). This check can be used regardless of the User Tool setting.
Even if the sensor is switched off with the User Tool setting, a check can be done with this SP code.
