Sleep Wakeup

Warm-up Process Procedure

1. Warm-up is occurred at three cases
: Power On, Cover Open/Close, Sleep Wakeup
2. If Warm-up start, Feed Sensor and Exit sensor is judged
that the sensor is active or inactive, if active, we judge that
printerpath is having a paper. After JAM Warm-up that
Remove the paper, carry out normal Warm-up.
3. As soon as Warm-up, Unit that Fixing the tonor is
heated. If Current Temperature is 130, Move the Motor.
Progress Environment recognition and the process for CR.
For reference, before move the Motor, because we wait unit
that fixing the toner is heated over 130. According to
Warm-up startings temperature, Warm-up time is variable.
4. If the WarmUp Process end, printers status is changed to
Ready Status.

Printing Process Procedure

1. If Printer is received the printing command from Driver,
First of all, Start the LSU. And then We judge that Poligon
Motor(LSU Motor) is reached fixed speed. If not reaching
within the fixed time, LSU Error(PMotor Error) is
occurred. If reaching within the fixed time,
pick up the paper for papers moving.
2.After Papers pickup, if Feed Sensor is not detected the
paper, Repick up the paper. For all that, if not detecting the
paper, we occurred the Paper Jam0(Re-pickup twice)

4. Normally, After detecting the Hsync Signal, progress the

transfer process.
5. Finally, judge that the paper get out of Feed Sensor.
Printers status change Printing to Ready. If the paper dont
get out of Feed Sensor or Exit Sensor, occurred the Paper
Jam.

3. Normally, if Feed Sensor is detecting the paper, send the

Psync signal, expose the Video Data to OPC. And judge
that Hsync signal(to detect Video Data according to each
Line) is recevied. If Hsync is not received, printer will
occurred LSU Error(HSync Error).

Message

Reason

FUSER OPEN

Open Heat Error

Temperature isnt reached

within 20sec in warmup.

LOW HEAT

Low Heat Error

Under 20 than target

temperature, Maintain 10sec.

OVER HEAT

Over Heat Error

While 220 over, Maintain

20sec.
While 230 over, Maintain
3sec.

IV. EDC Mode

EDC Mode is independently controled system f/w and
diagnose printers each function.
Printers elements which is diagnosed.
1. Sensor (Feed, Exit, Regi, Empty, Out bin)

- To

diagnose all sensor status.

2. Feeding the Paper (Motor,Solenoid,Clutch)

- To diagnose all Motor, Solenoid, Clutch

3. Development(DEV,MHV,THV)
- To diagnose all High Voltage for the development.

4. Exposure(LD,LSU)
To diagnose LSU and related Units.

5. Fixing the toner(Fuser unit)

To diagnose the fuser unit.

IV. EDC Mode

The EDC Mode Enter Sequence
: Menu -> Stop -> Left -> Back ->
OK -> Right

IV. EDC Mode

0. Cover Status : Front Cover
1. Sensor Status : Regi, Feed, Exit, Empty, Out-bin
2. Motor Status : Main Motor Nor, Slow
3. Fan Test : Fuser, LSU, SMPS Fan
4. Clutch/Sol : PickUp, Regi Clutch
5. Fuser Control : Temp Control(170), Fuser Temp(Cur ADC)
6. Lsu Control : LD Power, LSU Motor, LSU Ready, Hsync
7. Dev Control : THV Plus, THV MINUS, DEV Bias, MHV Bias
