2.3 Paper Walk Path
As shown in the above figure, the red line is the machine’s single-sided paper feed route (Line A is
the manual paper tray feed route, and Line B is the automatic paper tray feed route), and the blue
line C is the machine double-sided paper feed route.
Chargin
g roller
Photoco
nductor
drum
In the charging step, the voltage is sent from the HVPS to the charging rollers on the four
photoconductor drums, and the charging roller is a part of the print cartridge in this printer. The
charging roller applies a uniform negative charge on the entire surface of the photoconductor drum
Service Tips
In case that the surface of the charging roller is damaged (for example, there are notches or
pits), it will cause uneven charge on the photoconductor drum, and periodic image defects may
appear on the printed page. In the event that the charging roller is severely damaged, the surface of
the photoconductor drum will not be charged properly, and excessive toner particles will cover the
photoconductor drum.
Page: 21
2.4.2 Exposure
Laser
Photoco
nductor
drum
In the exposure step, the laser printing head will emit a focused light beam to the surface of
each photoconductor drum to write invisible images. The images formed for each color are called
latent images or electrostatic images. The laser beam discharges only to the surface, causing the
beam to hit the photoconductor drum. This discharge creates a potential difference between the
Service Tips
Do not touch the surface of the photoconductor drum directly by hand. Sebum on the skin
may cause charge difference on the surface, to which the toner cannot adhere correctly, which may
lead to repeated blank spots on the page or light printing. The print cartridge causing affected
color may need to be replaced. The surface of the photoconductor drum is coated with organic
substances that are sensitive to light. When using the printer, make sure to cover the print cartridge.
Page: 22
In case that the photoconductor drum is exposed for a long time, light or dark print quality
problems may occur, and the print cartridge may need to be replaced.
2.4.3 Develop
to the developer roller, which is evenly adhered with toner. Due to the electrical charge difference
between the developer roller and the photoconductor drum, the toner is attracted to the
laser-exposed area on the photoconductor drum surface. The process is similar to applying glue on
a can and then rolling it on flashlight powder. The flashlight powder sticks to the glue, not to the
Service Tips
Do not touch the surface of the developer roller directly by hand. Sebum on the skin may
cause charge difference on the surface, to which the toner cannot adhere correctly, which may lead
Page: 23
to repeated blank spots on the page or light printing. The developer roller damaged may not
contact the surface of the photoconductor drum correctly, which may lead to periodic spots,
When each photoconductor is developed, HVPS transmits voltage to the first transfer roller
inside the transfer belt. For each color, the image on the surface of the photoconductor drum is
transferred to the surface of the transfer belt through the charge difference between the surface of
the photoconductor drum and the first transfer roller, which occurs during the direct surface
Service Tips
Do not touch the surface of the transfer belt directly by hand. Sebum on the skin may cause
charge difference on the surface, to which the toner cannot adhere correctly, which may lead to
Page: 24
periodic blank spots on the page or light printing. Do not use solvent or other cleaners to clean the
surface of the transfer belt. If surface scratch or charge difference is caused by solvent or other
Four-color image on the transfer belt will be transmitted to the second transfer roller. When
the image on the transfer belt reaches the predetermined point, the system will rub the paper by
timing until the paper just moves to the position between the transfer belt and the second transfer
roller. HVPS transmits the voltage to the second transfer roller to generate positive charge. When
the image on the transfer belt reaches the second transfer roller, the negatively charged toner will
stick to the paper and then the whole image is transferred from the transfer belt to the paper.
Service Tips
In the event that there are notches, pits or flat spots on the second transfer roller, its surface
will not get to the paper and transfer belt. As a result, there may be blank or light spots (or periodic
blank or light areas) on the page. If the toner is not completely transferred, the color of the whole
Page: 25
page may be light or partly blank due to the following reasons:
a. The second transfer roller fails to get to the transfer belt correctly.
b. HVPS has no voltage. The toner is transferred only by contact (no charge effect), and the
contact between HVPS and the second transfer roller can be checked.
2.4.6 Fuser
Paper
Transfer belt
With the help of transfer roller, the paper with image enters the fuser area. The fuser applies
heat and pressure to the paper to melt the toner particles and stick them to the paper permanently.
The fuser drives the paper to the exit roller, which then drives the paper to the paper channel.
Service Tips
In case that the fuser roller is damaged, toner may fall off the paper and the paper may be
jammed.
The toner falling off the paper indicates that there are fuser faults or the paper type is not set
correctly. Be sure to check the paper type settings before replacing the fuser. Printing on heavy
media (such as card paper) and setting the paper type as plain paper are common errors.
Page: 26
When removing the jammed paper from the fuser, use the fuser release buckle to reduce the
pressure on the paper. Do not transmit the unfused toner through the fuser, if possible. Try to
remove the jammed paper from the fuser in the opposite moving direction.
Page: 27
2.4.7 Cleaning/Wiping
The printer will perform these two cleaning processes during the imaging process. During these
two processes, the residual toner will be removed from the corresponding modules.
a. Cleaning of transfer belt
Transfer Screw
belt
Cleaning blade
After the image is transferred to the paper by transfer belt, the cleaning blade transfers the residual
toner to the waste toner bottle by the rotating screw.
Cleaning Photoconductor
blade drum
After the photoconductor drum transfers each color image to the transfer belt, the cleaning
blade will clean the residual toner on the photoconductor drum surface.
Prepare the surface of the photosensitive drum to restart the imaging process.
