cause the printer to tip or fall.
(2) The printer contains many rollers, gears and fans. Take great care to ensure that you do not catch your
fingers, hair or clothing in any of these rotating devices.
(3) Do not place any small metal objects, containers of water, chemicals or other liquids close to the printer
which if spilled could get into the machine and cause damage or a shock or fire hazard.
(4) Do not install the machine in areas with high dust or moisture levels, beside on open window or close to a
humidifier or heater. Damage could be caused to the printer in such areas.
(5) Do not place candles, burning cigarettes, etc on the printer, These could cause a fire.

1.2.4 Assembly / Disassembly Precautions


Replace parts carefully, always use Samsung parts. Take care to note the exact location of parts and also
cable routing before dismantling any part of the machine. Ensure all parts and cables are replaced correctly.
Please carry out the following procedures before dismantling the printer or replacing any parts.

(1) Check the contents of the machine memory and make a note of any user settings. These will be erased if
the mainboard or network card is replaced.
(2) Ensure that power is disconnected before servicing or replacing any electrical parts.
(3) Disconnect printer interface cables and power cables.
(4) Only use approved spare parts. Ensure that part number, product name, any voltage, current or

1. Precautions

1.3 ESD Precautions


Certain semiconductor devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly
called “Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices” or ESDs. Examples of typical ESDs are: integrated circuits,
some field effect transistors, and semiconductor “chip” components.
The techniques outlined below should be followed to help reduce the incidence of component damage
caused by static electricity.

Caution >>Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

1. Immediately before handling a semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain


off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, employ a
commercially available wrist strap device, which should be removed for your personal safety reasons prior
to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESDs, place the assembly on a conductive surface,
such as aluminum or copper foil, or conductive foam, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup in the vicinity
of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESDs.
4. Use only an “anti-static” solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static”
can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.
5. Do not use Freon-propelled chemicals. When sprayed, these can generate electrical charges sufficient to
damage ESDs.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective packaging until immediately before installing it. Most
replacement ESDs are packaged with all leads shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or a
comparable conductive material.
7. Immediately before removing the protective shorting material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch
the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
8. Maintain continuous electrical contact between the ESD and the assembly into which it will be installed,
until completely plugged or soldered into the circuit.
9. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Normal motions, such as
the brushing together of clothing fabric and lifting one’s foot from a carpeted floor, can generate static
electricity sufficient to damage an ESD.

2) Pick up / Forward / Retard roller

When pickup takes place, the pickup roller moves down to come into contact with the surface of the paper.
The pickup roller moves down when the pickup clutch is activated. The forward roller and the retard
roller serve to make sure that a single sheet of paper is moved to the paper path, and the paper is moved as
far as the registration roller by the work of the feed roller (cassette) or the forward roller (MP).
The following is a diagram of the MP pick up system :

drum. It also is used for jam detection to ensure paper has left the paper tray.

4) MP tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and
envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. It uses 3 rollers feeding method
to feed 100 sheets of general papers and #10 envelops.

5) Duplex unit

It has paper transferring function, paper guide function, jam removing function, and paper sensing function.
It is designed for basic or optional attachment, and the duplex feeding takes a side feeding method. Usable
papers are A4, letter, Folio, Oficio and legal size paper. For removing a jam occurred in a front part, it is
designed to open a cassette and a guide. It is designed to open a rear cover to remove a jam in a rear part.
If a face up tray is open, the duplex option cannot be used.

6) SCF (Second Cassette Feeder)

It is the same method with the main cassette, and the capacity is 520 sheets.

2.2.5.2 Imaging unit

1) Printing process overview

C
A : Imaging unit
B : LSU
C : Transfer roller

This mono printing system includes the LSU with a laser beams, a imaging unit and transfer roller.

This machine uses single Imaging unit and single LSU for mono printing. The Imaging unit consists of Drum
unit and Development unit. The Drum unit has an OPC drum, cleaning blade.

The OPC drum is charged with a negative voltage by the charge roller and is exposed by the light from
the LSU (Laser Scanning unit)[B]. The light produced by a laser creates a latent image by discharging on
the surface of the OPC drum. The negatively charged toners are attracted to the latent image due to high
electric potential on the drum. The toner (visible image) on the OPC drum is transfer to the media by the
positive bias applied to the transfer roller[c].

1. Charging the OPC drum: The charge roller gives the drum positive charge.

2. Laser exposure: Light produced by a laser diode irradiates the charged OPC through the lens and mirrors.

3. Development: This machine uses a dual-component development system . The magnetic roller carries negatively
charged toner to the latent image on the drum surface.

4. Transfer: T
 he transfer rollers opposite the OPC drums transfer toner from the drums to the transfer media (e.g.
paper, OHP film, etc).

5. Cleaning for OPC drum: The cleaning blade removes remaining toners on the drum surface after image transfer
to the paper.

6. Quenching for OPC drum: Discharging the drum is done by illuminating the whole area of the drum with the LED
lamps at the end of every job.

2) Imaging unit

The imaging unit consists of OPC drum unit and the development unit. The OPC drum unit has an OPC
drum, a charge roller which charges the OPC and cleaning blade. The development unit has a magnetic
roller, two mixing augers, developer, a Dr-blade and a TC (Toner Concentration) sensor.

The diameter of the drum is 30 mm (circumference: about 94.2 mm).

The developing gap between a drum and the corresponding magnetic roller cannot be adjusted because
they assembled as one Imaging unit in the factory.

The cleaning blade removes remaining toner on the drum surface.

The CRUM chip in the image unit stores the data about the Imaging unit.

2.2.5.3 Fuser unit

It is consisted of a halogen lamp, heat roller, pressure roller, thermistor and thermostat. It sticks the toner on
a paper by heat and pressure to complete the printing job.

Heat roller

Pressure roller

1) Thermostat
When a heat lamp is overheated, a Thermostat cuts off the main power to prevent over- heating.
- Thermostat Type : Non- Contact type THERMOSTAT
- Control Temperature : 195℃ ± 5℃

2) Thermistor
It is a temperatrue detecting sensor.
- Temperature Resistance : 7㏀ (180℃ )

3) Heat roller
The heat roller transfers the heat from the lamp to apply a heat on the paper.
The surface of a heat roller is coated with Teflon, so toner does not stick to the surface.

4) Pressure roller
A pressure roller mounted under a heat roller is made of a silicon resin, and the surface also is coated with
Teflon. When a paper passes between a heat roller and a pressure roller, toner adheres to the surface of a
paper permanently.

5) Halogen Lamp
- Capacity : 1300 Watt
• center lamp : 700 ± 35 Watt

2.2.5.4 LSU (Laser Scanning Unit)

It is the core part of the LBP which switches from the video data received to the controller to the electrostatic
latent image on the OPC drum by controlling laser beam, exposing OPC drum, and turning principle of
polygon mirror. The OPC drum is turned with the paper feeding speed. The /HSYNC signal is created when
the laser beam from LSU reaches the end of the polygon mirror, and the signal is sent to the controller.
The controller detects the /HSYNC signal to adjust the vertical line of the image on paper. In other words,
after the /HSYNC signal is detected, the image data is sent to the LSU to adjust the left margin on paper.
The one side of the polygon mirror is one line for scanning.
