Basic Printer Functions This chapter presents a generalized functional overvie w of the printer and the printing processes. The following printer systems are discussed: • • DC Controller System/ Power System • • Formatter System • • Image Formation System • • Paper Feed System • • Laser/Scanner Sy stem Figure 5-1 is a generalize[...]

DC Controller/P ower System The DC Controller PCA coordinates all print engine activities, dri ves the laser , and coordinates print data from the Formatter PCA with the image formation process. The DC Controller also includes both A C and dc po wer supply and distribution circuitry . The DC Controller controls the following systems and functions: [...]

Print Engine Control System Laser and Scanner Drive Based on information recei v ed from the Formatter , the DC Controller sends signals to the Laser/Scanner Assembly to modulate the laser diode ON and OFF and to dri ve the Laser/Scanner motor . Refer to “Image Formation System, ” later in this chapter for more information. Paper Motion Monitor[...]

P ower System (on DC Contr oller PCA) The A C, dc, and high voltage po wer supply circuits are all contained within the DC Controller PCA. AC Power Distribution The A C po wer circuitry supplies A C v oltage whene ver the po wer cord is connected to the A C po wer source. A C voltage is distrib uted to the dc po wer supply circuitry and to the A C [...]

• • A job is received. • • The Front Panel Button is pressed. • • The printer front door is opened. Note The printer will not enter SleepMode if there is a printer error . High Voltage Power Distribution The High V oltage Power Supply PCA applies an o v erlap of dc and A C voltage to the primary charging roller and the de veloping rolle[...]

F ormatter System The Formatter PCA is responsible for the follo wing: • • Receiving and processing print data from the printer interface. • • Monitoring Front Panel Button and relaying printer status information. • • Developing and coordinating data placement and timing with the print engine. • • Storing font information. • • C[...]

Control P anel Status LED Lights The Formatter uses three LEDs mounted under the printer cov er to communicate printer status to the user . Refer to “Using the Control Panel” in Chapter 3 and “Printer Error T roubleshooting” in Chapter 7 for more information on the lights. Front Panel Button The Formatter PCA is connected to a microswitch l[...]

EconoMode The EconoMode setting uses approximately 50% less toner than standard mode printing by reducing the dot density . Ho we ver , EconoMode does not extend toner cartridge component life. EconoMode, which can also be thought of as “draft mode, ” is user-selectable through some softw are applications. The default setting is Off. EconoMode [...]

Enhanced I/O The Enhanced I/O feature allows printer memory to be used for storing data recei v ed from the host computer . When Enhanced I/O is enabled, you can send more data to your printer in shorter amounts of time, which allows you to return to your application sooner . Enhanced I/O has the following options: • • Auto —allows the printe[...]

Image F ormation System Laser printing requires the interaction of sev eral different technologies (such as electronics, optics, and electrophotographics) to provide a printed page. Each process functions independently and must be coordinated with the other printer processes. Image formation consists of six processes: • • Step 1. Drum Cleaning [...]

T oner Cartridge As the “heart” of the Image Formation System, the toner cartridge houses the cleaning, conditioning, and dev eloping steps of the process. The toner cartridge contains the photosensitiv e drum, primary charging roller , developing station, toner cavity , and cleaning station. Including these components, which wear , degrade, or[...]

Step 4: Image Dev eloping At this stage of the process, the latent electrostatic image is present on the drum. The toner particles obtain a negati ve surface char ge by rubbing against the dev eloping cylinder which is connected to a negati ve dc supply . The negativ ely charged toner is attracted to the dischar ged (exposed, grounded) areas of the[...]

Paper F eed S ystem Both the Paper Input Bin and the Single Sheet Input Slot mer ge into one, main input area. Paper placed in either of these areas enables the Paper Out Sensor (sensor 202), which informs the DC Controller that paper is present.

(See Figure 5-5 for roller and sensor locations.) If a paper jam is detected, the DC Controller immediately stops the printing process and causes a paper jam indication on the fro[...]

Basic Sequence of Operation The Formatter PCA and the DC Controller PCA share information during printer operation. The DC Controller-to-Formatter Connector (J201) forms a link which operates as a serial data bus. This allo ws printer status, command information, and dot-image data to be passed between the two PCAs. Figure 5-7 sho ws the general ti[...]

Occasionally you may add paper , close the printer door , add the toner cartridge, and clear a paper jam, only to find that the printer still displays an error message. If this happens, troubleshoot using T able 7-3 belo w . Note If the error appears and persists only after you attempt to print a page, verify that the motor is functioning. (See “[...]

If there is any doubt, alw ays replace the toner cartridge before troubleshooting image defects. Use the following check list to ensure that the toner cartridge is still operable. • • Ensure that the toner[...]

Image Defect Examples This section illustrates some image defects and their possible causes. Since there are many v ariables in the printing process, you may encounter image defects that are not illustrated in the following e xamples. If you find a defect that is not illustrated, record the probable cause along with the printing en vironmental cond[...]

V ertical Lines Sometimes vertically aligned black streaks or smears can appear on successi ve pages. • The toner cartridge may be damaged. Replace it. • The printer may need cleaning. See “Cleaning Your Printer,” in Chapter 4. • Replace the heating element. Horizontal Stripes Sometimes horizontally aligned black streaks or smears can app[...]

Character V oids Character voids are white areas within the parts of characters that should be solid black. • If you are using transparencies when you experience this problem, try another type of transparency. Hewlett-Packard transparencies are designed to minimize character voids. (Because of the composition of transparency media, some character[...]

Dropouts Dropouts are characters that are partially printed. • The Paper Input Bin may have been loaded with too much paper. Make sure that no more than 100 sheets of paper are loaded. • A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job. • Try adjusting the print density through your software or printer driver. • Try cleaning[...]

Blank Page (Occasional) A page is completely blank. If you get occasional blank pages: • Make sure your page length and margins are set correctly for the paper size you use. If you are printing on small media and your page is blank, try printing on larger media to see where the image is printing. Adjust margins accordingly. • Some sharing devic[...]

Clean the high voltage contact points on the toner cartridge and transfer roller. • Replace the transfer roller. Dirt on the Back of the Page • Use the image defect ruler to determine i[...]

Distorted Image or BD Failure • Make certain the printer is not facing the sunlight. • The paper may not meet HP’s paper specifications. Select different paper. • Clean the Laser/Scanner Assembly by blowing compressed air in the slot on the bottom of the assembly. • Make sure the two Laser/Scanner connectors are firmly seated. • Replace[...]
