tch Assy Turn: Consists of a gear and an electric clutch. This is located on the end of a shaft of the Roll Assy Turn. This clutch controls the transmission of the drive power from the Gear Assy drive to the Roll Assy Turn by turning on and off the clutch magnet. When this clutch is activated, the drive power is transmitted to the Roll Assy Turn through the idle gears to the gear of the Clutch Assy Feed.
tch Assy Feed: Consists of a gear and an electric clutch. This is located on the end of a shaft of the Feeder Assy. This clutch controls the transmission of the drive power from the Gear Assy drive through the Clutch Assy Turn to the Roll Assy of the Feeder Assy by turning on and off the clutch magnet. When this clutch is activated, the drive power is transmitted to the Feeder Assy.

ser Assy: Uses heat and pressure to permanently fix the toner image onto the paper.The Fuser Assy is made up of nine major components.Heat Rod:An electric coil that is sealed inside a glass tube. The Heat Rod is located inside the Heat Roll and provides the heat necessary to melt the toner image onto the paper.Temperature Sensor:Monitors the Heat Roll surface temperature, switching the Heat Rod on or off to maintain the proper temperature range. The Temperature Sensor is a temperature sensitive resistor that rides the Heat Roll surface, and it functions as the first-stage, fuser-overheat protection.Heat Roll:A hollow, surface-coated metal tube that is heated by the Heat Rod, and in turn applies heat to the paper to melt the toner. The negative charge that builds up on the Heat Roll is shunted through a diode to frame ground.Pressure Roll:A solid, rubber-coated metal shaft that presses the paper between itself and the Heat Roll. This bonds the toner to the paper.Fuser Thermostat:Connected in series with the Heat Rod power supply, the Thermostat functions as the second-stage, fuser-overheat prevention. If the first stage fails to prevent the overheat, the Thermostat opens the circuit between the Heat Rod and the power supply.Fuse:Connected in series with the Heat Rod power supply, the Fuse functions as the third-stage, fuser over-heat prevention. If the both first and the second stages fail to prevent the fuser overheat, the fuse opens the circuit between the Heat Rod and the power supply.

IVE & ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHICS
S Assy: The ROS (Raster Output Scanner) Assy is the laser and the scanning hardware. The ROS is made up of three major components: the Laser Diode Assy, the Scanner Assy, and the PWBA SOS.
LD Assy (Laser Diode Assy):Converts electrical signals into optical signals. The LD Assembly generates the laser beam and maintains the laser output power at a constant level.
Scanner Assy:Routes the laser beam to the drum, and scans it across the drum surface. The Scanner Assy consists of a fifteen sided Polygon Mirror that is attached to the Scanner Motor. The Motor rotates at a constant speed. The spinning Polygon Mirror reflects the beam, through a series of lens and mirrors, onto the rotating drum surface. The movement of the spinning Polygon Mirror scans the beam from one side of the drum to the other; one scan line per mirror facet. This process repeats until the controller stops sending image data to the laser.
The Scanner Motor uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) for speed control.
The PLL compares the phase of the falling edge of the output signal from the Schmitt frequency generator (FG) with the rising edge of the Clock Signal (CLK). The output of the PLL is a voltage that is proportional to the differences in the phase of FG and CLK. The output is the phase detect (PD).
PD pulse duration indicates the amount of signal deviation observed. The frequency generator generates 15 pulses during each revolution of the Scanner Motor. A smoothing filter, using an integrating amplifier, converts the PD signal into a

nd the Optional Envelope Feeder Assy.
U Sensor monitors the presence or absence CRU.perating Principles Overview
e Structure and Operation of the ROS:The laser light source for the ROS is a semiconductor laser diode with a maximum output of 3mW. A monitor circuit keeps laser output at a constant level. Image data received from the print controller modulates the laser beam, turning it on and off according to the image information.
The Current Switching Circuit switches the Laser Diode on and off according to /nP.DATA sent by the PWBA HKB MCU. When /nP.DATA is LOW, the laser is ON. When /P.DATA is HIGH, the laser is OFF.
The PWBA HKB MCU also supplies the laser drive current (VL1 and VL2). Circuits within the laser use VL1 and VL2 to maintain a constant drive current for the laser diode. If either VL1 or VL2 changes value, the current in IL1 or IL2 change accordingly. The current flowing through the laser Diode (IL) changes, and so does the current flowing through PD. PD monitors laser current, and supplies that information back to the MCU.
When you use Configuration Mode to adjust laser current, you are adjusting VL1 or VL2, so MO equals the value stored in NVRAM.
The Cylinder Lens and a slit in the ROS housing shape the laser light into an oblong beam. Mirror 1 and Mirror 2 direct the beam to the rotating Polygon Mirror. Each facet of the Polygon Mirror reflects the beam through correcting Lenses 1 and 2 and through Mirrors 3 and 4, and onto the drum surface.
The start of each scan, or of each facet reflection, is diverted by Lens 2 onto Mirror 2, which reflects the beam onto Mirror 5 through Mirror 4. Mirror 5 reflects the beam onto the SOS senor. The sensor tells the print controller that a scan has started.

U (Electro-Photography):The CRU is composed of six major components.
Drum:An aluminum cylinder with a coating of photoconductive material on the surface. The photoconductive property of the drum allows the drum surface to hold an electrical charge while in darkness, and discharge it when exposed to the light.Bias Charge Roll (BCR):Places a uniform electrical charge on the drum surface. At the end of a print cycle, the BCR applies an AC voltage to the drum surface to neutralize any electrical patterns remaining from the last print cycle.Magnet Roll:Distributes toner to the drum surface.Charge Metal Blade (CM Blade):Spreads an even coating of toner on the Magnet Roll, and gives the Roll a staticelectric charge.Cleaning Blade:Removes any residual toner left on the drum from the last print cycle.Drum Shutter:When the CRU is in place in the printer and the Front Cover is closed, the Drum Shutter opens to expose the area of the drum surface that comes into contact with the paper during a print cycle. When the CRU is out of the printer or when the Front Cover is open, the drum shutter closes to protect the drum surface from light shock and contamination.
