Outline
4034M544CA
1. PC Drum
Made up of an aluminum pipe coated with a photoconductive layer, on which an electro-
static latent image is formed.
2. Drum Charging
A uniform negative DC charge is deposited across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
3. Photoelectric Conversion
A CCD sensor is used to convert the image data represented by light reflected off the
original to a corresponding electric signal which, in turn, is output to the IR image pro-
cessing section.
4. IR Image Processing
The analog electric signal is converted to an 8-bit digital image signal (A/D conversion)
which, in turn, goes through appropriate corrections before being output to the PH image
processing section.
5. PH Image Processing
After going through corrections, the digital image signal is converted to a corresponding
electric signal (D/A conversion), with which the laser is turned ON or OFF as necessary.
6. Laser Exposure
The laser beam strikes the surface of the PC Drum, forming an electrostatic latent image.
7. Developing
Toner negatively charged in the Developer Mixing Chamber is attracted onto the electro-
static latent image changing it to a visible, developed image.
A developing bias (Vb) is applied to the Developing Roller to prevent toner from being
attracted onto those areas of the PC Drum which correspond to the background areas of
the original.
8. Paper Take-up
Paper is supplied from the paper feed tray.
9. Bypass Paper Take-up
Paper is supplied by way of the Manual Bypass, one sheet at a time.
The optional Multiple Bypass (MB-501), when mounted on the copier, permits continu-
ous paper supply.

The Fusing Roller is provided with two Fusing Heater Lamps, thereby shortening the
time required for warming-up and saving energy.
The main heater, or the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp, heats the center of the Fusing
Roller. The sub heater, or the Fusing Roller Sub Heater Lamp, on the other hand, heats
both end portions of the Fusing Roller. The Fusing Roller Thermistor located at the cen-
tral portion controls the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp. The Fusing Roller Sub Thermistor
located in the rear control the Fusing Roller Sub Heater Lamp.

The drum is a lamination of the Charge Transport Layer and Charge Generating Layer
coating an aluminum alloy base.
Handling Precaution
The PC Drum of this type exhibits light fatigue after being exposed to light for a
long time, which results in its sensitivity being changed. Always, therefore, wrap
the drum in the PC Drum Cloth or a soft cloth immediately after it has been
removed from the copier. Utmost care should also be used when handling the PC
Drum to ensure that its surface is not contaminated.

The surface of the PC Drum is deposited with charge through corona discharge from the
PC Drum Charge Corona.
The grid mesh interposed between the corona wire and the PC Drum ensures that a uni-
form charge is deposited across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
The corona unit has a comb electrode that discharges only toward the grid mesh. This
results in the amount of ozone produced being smaller than with the wire electrode.

The Cleaning Blade is used to scrape residual toner off the surface of the PC Drum.
The spent toner is conveyed through the Recycling Duct and eventually back to the
Developer Mixing Chamber.
The following control is provided to prevent paper dust from being wedged between the
Cleaning Blade and the PC Drum. When the cumulative period of time through which the
PC Drum has been driven reaches a predetermined value, the PC Drum is turned back-
ward (by turning the Main Motor backward). Shoulder gears comprising two different
parts are provided on the copier. This ensures that the drive is transmitted only to the
Imaging Unit, but not any other parts, during backward rotation.

15.1 Image Transfer Section
A positive charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to transfer the toner image
formed on the surface of the PC Drum onto the paper.
The charge applied to the Image Transfer Roller is varied according to the following con-
ditions to ensure that image transfer efficiency is stabilized.
Paper Type: The amount of charge is made less for OHP film.
Paper width: The smaller the paper width, the greater the amount of charge.
B/W ratio of image: The lower the B/W ratio, the greater the amount of charge.
A negative charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to return toner sticking to the
Image Transfer Roller to the PC Drum. It is performed in the following timings:
(At the start and end of a copy cycle; when the Power Switch is turned ON; when a mis-
feed or malfunction is reset)

on the diameters of the PC Drum and the Image Transfer Roller.
Since the PC Drum has a small diameter, there is no likelihood that the paper will be
wound around the PC Drum. The paper is separated by its own weight.
The Charge Neutralizing Plate neutralizes any charge left on the paper after image trans-
fer, thereby preventing discharge noise that could otherwise occur when the paper is
separated.
The PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers properly separate from the surface of the PC
Drum thin paper or other type of paper that is hard to separate.

The document is taken up as the Pick-Up Roller and Take-Up Roller turn.
The Pick-Up Roller transports the document up to the Take-Up Roller.
After a scan is completed, the Main Motor is turned backward to raise the Pick-Up Roller.
The Pick-Up Roller and the Take-Up Roller are turned through the Paper Take-Up Clutch
and by a gear train and a belt driven by the Main Motor.
The Paper Empty Sensor is used to detect a document loaded on the Document Loading
Tray.
The Document Stoppers determine the leading edge position of the document loaded on
the Document Loading Tray. They are in the lowered, swung-down position in the
standby state and swing upward when the document is to be taken up.
The swing-up and swing-down motion of the Document Stoppers is operatively con-
nected to the raising and lowering of the Pick-Up Roller.

2.2 Operation
When the Start key is pressed with a document loaded in the AFR, the Take-up Motor
DF-605
starts turning backward, causing the Pickup Roller to lower and start turning at the same
time. At the same time, the Take-up Roller starts turning.
When the document reaches the Registration Sensor, the Feed Roller starts turning for-
ward and, at the same time that the Pickup Roller goes up, drive is then supplied to the
Registration Roller.
When the Transport Motor starts turning forward, the two Transport Rollers and the Exit/
Turnover Roller feed the document toward the exit direction.
During turnover, the Transport Motor turns backward to turn the two Transport Rollers
and the Exit/Turnover Roller backward.

1. When the Start key is pressed, the Take-up Motor starts turning backward, causing
the Pickup Roller to lower and start a paper take-up sequence.
2. The scanning of the 1st side is started after the lapse of a given period of time after
the Original Detection Sensor has been activated by the leading edge of the origi-
nal.
3. The original is transported for a given period of time after the trailing edge of the
last page of the document has deactivated the Exit/Turnover Sensor. It is then fed
into the Exit Tray and the Transport Motor is deenergized.

turning force of the Feed Roller overcomes the block of the Separator Fingers, causing
the top sheet of paper to ride over the fingers and be fed out of the tray into the copier.
When there are only two sheets of left in the tray and if the friction force of the Paper Lift-
ing Plate is low, the bottom sheet of paper is taken up and fed into the copier with the top
sheet of paper. To prevent this situation from occurring, there is a Friction Plate provided
on top of the Paper Lifting Plate.
Before the Feed Roller contacts the paper, the Feed Roller holds the paper down so that
the paper remains stationary before its being taken up by the Feed Roller.

<Shifted Feeding>
When the trailing edge of the paper transported to the exit section moves past the Fusing
Roller, the Shift Motor is energized to move the Transport Roller sideways.
The paper is fed into the Shifting Unit as it is shifted sideways.
The Exit Roller is moved sideways by turning the motor forward or backward.
The Exit Roller is detected at its home position by a sensor.
