6.4 Laser units
78
Overview
There are two laser units. 1 for Black and Cyan. 1 for Magenta and Yellow.
79
Laser unit details
Both laser units are physical identical. Don’t exchange them because the colour skew adjustments
for each colour can be different. This is explained later in this presentation.

81
Colour skew adjustment
The adjusters must be used after installing a new LD unit. There is one for each color.
They move the front of the F-theta lens-2 from left to right, seen from the front of the machine.
This moves the position of the scan line on the drum, to correct for colour skew.
Adjusters
F-theta lens-2
82
After replacing a laser unit
There are two things to do: Initialize the D-phase data and shading data.
See the service manual (Replacement and Adjustment, Laser Optics).
Do the color skew adjustment procedure. Explained on the next few slides.
83
Colour skew adjustment (1/5)
Execute ‘MUSIC’ (SP2-111-002). After you execute MUSIC, check the adjustment with the following SPs.
2-117-004 (Black) 2-117-002 (Cyan) 2-117-001 (Magenta) 2-117-003 (Yellow)
No skew adjustment is required when all SP values are within ±5. When one or more of the SP values is not within ±5, then you must
adjust colour skew for any color that has an SP value that is not 0.
For example: If 2-117-001 is -4, and the others are +1, no adjustment is necessary. If 2-117-001 is -6, and the others are +1, the adjustment must be done for
all four colours. If 2-117-001 is -6, and the others are 0, the adjustment must be done only
for magenta.
84
Colour skew adjustment (2/5)
Open the front cover [A]. Remove the upper cover [B]. Then close the front cover
again. Execute ‘MUSIC’ (SP2-111-002) again.
This is because removing the upper cover may have caused the LD units to slip out of alignment.
85
Colour skew adjustment (3/5)
Adjust the colours that need correction using the knobs shown below.
See the procedure in the service manual for details. These adjustments move the L2 F-theta lenses-2 inside the
laser units.
86
Colour skew adjustment (4/5)
This shows one of the four knobs. Rotate each knob corresponding to
the value shown in SP2-117-001 to 004. Clockwise: 90 degrees
corresponds to changing the SP value by “+1”
Counterclockwise: 90 degrees corresponds to changing the SP value by “-1“
A click is felt every 90 degree rotation of the knob.
Examples: If the SP value is +6, turn knob
[A] in the diagram 6 clicks clockwise.
If the SP value is -7, turn knob [A] 7 clicks counterclockwise.
87
Colour skew adjustment (5/5)
Reassemble the machine. Execute ‘MUSIC’ (SP2-111-002) Check the SPs (SP2-117-001 to 004). If one or more of
them is over ±5 (either positive or negative), repeat the adjustment.
The adjustment is finished when all SP values are ±5.

Replacement procedures
Do not disassemble the PCDUs. There are no service parts for the individual components of
the PCDUs. If you are working around the drive area (see the previous
slide), mark the positions of the drum phase gears. If these gears come off, it is very difficult to get them back in
the correct place, and the machine may have to be replaced. The drive unit is available as a spare part, but it is very
difficult to replace.
95
PCDU replacement procedure
You must release the lock lever and check that the ITB has no tension.

This mechanism only exists for CMY. K is always in contact except when the lock lever is released.
The ITB contact motor drives this mechanism through a worm gear and a cam.
When the cam moves the slider, the image transfer rollers for CMY move up into contact with the OPC drums, or down away from them.
If the mechanism is defective, make sure the transfer belt is not in contact with the drum units. This is explained earlier in this presentation.

6.9 Waste toner collection
117
Overview
The waste toner drops at the front of the bottle. A coil moves the waste toner from the ITB unit, the Y
PCDU and M PCDU towards the left-side of the bottle. The agitator makes the surface of the toner level.
There is another agitator for toner that arrives from the ITB (see the next slide).
Waste toner from the C and K drums drops straight into the bottle.
118
Mechanism
When the coil rotates, the agitators move the toner towards the rear of the bottle.
The bottle full sensor detects when the bottle is almost full, and the machine displays a warning on the screen.
After near-full is detected, the machine calculates when the bottle becomes full, and stops operating.
119
Replacing the waste toner bottle
Move the 5 caps [A] from their storage location on the waste toner bottle to the inlets, so no toner will spill out when you transport the bottle.
Dispose of used bottles in accordance with local regulations.

6.10 Fusing
121
Principle
This machine uses a Quick Start Up Direct Heating (QSU-DH) fusing system which saves energy and improves print quality.
The new fusing unit uses a thin fusing belt which turns freely around the lamp. No heating roller or hot roller.
The fusing belt is much thinner than a hot roller, so less electricity is used to reach the fusing temperature.
By using a flat fusing pad, fusing is done on a flat surface without uneven pressure from the pressure roller. This means that there is less damage/wrinkling to the paper.
This is especially helpful for envelope printing.

Fusing unit replacement
After the fusing unit is replaced you must do the following: Set SP3-701-014 to “1”. Exit the SP-mode. Switch the machine off and on. Check SP7-803-016 whether the fusing is reset correctly.
127
Fusing sleeve belt replacement
The fusing pad must face the pressure roller. The fusing sleeve belt is replaced as an assembly.
128
SC 554
If SC 554-00 occurs, there could be temperature damage to the fusing unit.
The fusing unit should be replaced, but if it is not damaged, you can continue to use it.
In the field service manual there is a separate procedure for SC 554-00.
129
SP 5-810
From the flow chart on the previous slide, you can see that a new SP (SP5-810-002) is added.
If you do this SP, the machine checks for the fuse for new unit detection, and blows the fuse if it is found. If the fuse is not found and blown, the SP execution fails.
SP 5-810-002 is normally only done as part of the countermeasure for SC 554.
130
Fuse for new unit detection
The fuse is shown below [A]. It is not included in machines shipped from the factory. The fuse is present in fusing units that are installed as service
parts, but it is blown immediately after the fusing unit is installed. So, in each case, if you will re-use a fusing unit that has
encountered SC554 but is not damaged, you need to get a new fuse and install it like shown below. (part number: M026 4371)

134
Components
The exit/inverter roller is driven by the paper transport motor.
The paper exit sensor controls the timing for the inverter mechanism.

135
Inverter mechanism
When the exit sensor detects the leading edge of the paper, both solenoids turn on. The exit roller rotates in the other direction. The junction gate guides the paper to the upper exit.
When the exit sensor detects the trailing edge of the paper, both solenoids turn off. The exit roller rotates in the other direction. The junction gate guides the paper to the duplex feed path.

Before performing maintenance
Print the SMC logging data with SP5-990-004. To reset the PM counter for each item, you must set SP3-
701-001~20 to “1” before you switch off the machine. After switching on the machine, the PM counters are reset
automatically. The developer is initialized automatically.
After installing the new items: Make sure that the PM counters for the replaced units are
"0" with SP7-803. If the PM counter for a unit was not reset, then reset that
counter with SP 7-804. Check the other counters as specified in the ‘After installing
the new PM parts’ procedure.
