Engine control system The engine control system coordinates all printer functions, according to commands sent from the formatter. It drives the laser/scanner system, the image-formation system, and the pickup/feed/delivery system. The engine control system contains the following components: ● Dc controller ● High-voltage PCA Figure 5-3. Engine [...]

Laser/scanner system The laser/scanner system receives video signals from the dc controller and the formatter and converts the signals into latent images on the photosensitive drum. Figure 5-5. Laser/scanner system 74 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW[...]

Pickup/feed/delivery system The pickup/feed/delivery system consists of several types of feed rollers and sensors. The dc controller uses two motors and two solenoids to drive the rollers. Three media-detection sensors detect media as it passes through the printer. If media does not reach or pass each sensor within a specified time period, the dc c[...]

Image-formation system Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies, including 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 the following five processes: ● electrostat[...]

Step 3: Developing The developing cylinder comes in contact with the photosensitive drum to deposit toner onto the electrostatic latent image. NOTE The charges on the exposed area of the drum are shown as positive in Figure 5-9. Developing . The charges are actually negative, but they are more positive than the charges on the developing cylinder. F[...]

The elasticity of the print media causes its separation from the photosensitive drum. A static charge eliminator aids separation by weakening any electrostatic adhesion. Figure 5-11. Separation Step 6: Fusing The dc negative bias applied to the fusing film strengthens the holding force of the toner on the print media and prevents the toner from sca[...]

NVRAM initialization CAUTION Only perform the following procedure if absolutely necessary. Performing an NVRAM initialization resets some parameters that cannot be restored later. NVRAM initialization sets all default variables stored in NVRAM back to factory default values or to a default ROM value, depending on the variable. It also performs a sy[...]

Cold reset A cold reset changes most system parameters in NVRAM to the factory defaults. However, unlike NVRAM initialization, a cold reset does not reset the page count, the paper tray sizes, language, or formatter number. NOTE A cold reset also resets all the HP Jetdirect settings as well as the printer settings. To perform a cold reset 1. Turn t[...]
