The toner transferred to the paper is made to adhere to the

1. Fixing roller - upper

This roller has a rubber coating over a metal surface and a
PFA tube sheath over the surface. This roller is driven by a
motor in the main drive unit.
The center of the roller is warmed by a heating lamp and this
temperature varies according to the type of paper that the
toner must adhere to.
2. Fixing roller - lower

This roller has a rubber coating over a metal surface and a
PFA tube sheath over the surface. A compression spring
provides a 1.72 kg/cm force to press contact on the upper
fixing roller.
3. Fixing oil roller

The roller contains a certain quantity of oil which is supplied
in minute amounts to the upper fixing roller. This improves
separation and prevents OHT permeability and the paper
winding around the upper fixing roller.
4. Fixing cleaning roller

This roller cleans off toner which adheres to the fixing oil
roller by cleaning the surface of the fixing oil roller.

[2] Toner supply section operation

In toner supply unit, rotate the toner bottle by one color and
scrape out the toner in the hopper section and conveys the
toner to the toner supply inlet of each developing unit by the
toner supply screw.
Drive for the toner supply unit is provided by M3 of the drive
unit and switching of the toner for supply is performed by
M4.

A step motor that rotates per a certain number of drive pulses
is utilized as motor M4.
M4 is driven by DMCB on the drive unit which is regulated
by control signals from the ENGCB.
The rotation direction is changed by switching the phase of
the control signals.

ADJUSTMENT
5.1 ADJUSTMENT
Konica KL-3015 provides three service modes (Engine I/O check mode (mode 47), Engine NVRAM service mode (mode 25)
and Power measurement mode). This section explains how to adjust or operate this printer in Engine I/O check mode and Engine
NVRAM service mode. In these service modes, the operation of each part can be checked and error codes cancelled.
But Power measurement mode is provided for only manufacturing person. This is no need to use in the field service.
However, this printer is basically designed for simple maintenance service in which each part is replaced as a unit, so there is no
need to make adjustment in service modes. The main unit and replacement parts are preadjusted prior to shipment.

1. The address map initial values in the Engine NVRAM service mode are obtained when code 96 in the Engine I/O check
service mode are executed (Factory initialization).
2. Address 08 was initialized to 00 prior to shipment.
3. Each data of the counters (*mark) was saved in binary format, count value will be obtained to convert the data format from
binary to decimal.
4. The table below shows counting methods for various counters and their count-up timing.
Counter name Address Counting method Timing
