3. Power Supply
3.1 Power Supply
3.1.1 Outline
The machine’s DC power supply is controlled by the DC power supply PCB; the associ-
ated PCBs, parts, functions, and arrangement of distribution are as follows:

Name Description
DC power supply PCB • Generates DC power from AC power.
• Protects against overcurrent.
Rush current prevention • Limits rush current to the fixing/feeding assembly, duplexing
PCB unit, and high-voltage PCB.
Fuse PCB • Protects the lens heater (H6) and mirror heater (H7) against
overcurrent.
Main power switch • Serves as the power switch of a load other than the drum
(SW1) heater (H3), cassette heater (H4), and deck heater (H5).
Environment switch • When off, the drum heater (H3) operates in conjunction with
(SW3) the turning on/off of the main power switch; if on, the drum
heater (H3) will remain powered at all times.
Cassette heater switch • Serves as the switch to turn on/off the cassette heater (H4)
(SW4) and deck heater (H5).
Main relay (RL1) • Cuts off the AC line to the fixing heater and AC driver.

3.1.3 Output of Power Supplies

The outputs of the machine’s power supplies are controlled by the main power switch,
control panel power switch, or signal from the printer board.
The output is controlled by the DC power supply PCB as follows based on the combina-
tion of the signal from the printer board and the state of the power switch and the control
panel switch:

3.3 Protection Mechanism

The machine is designed to automatically turn off the output of DC power as soon as the
over-current protection circuit of the DC power supply PCB turns on.
When the over-current detection circuits a high level of current, the machine will stop out-
puts [1], [2], and [3]; in other words, the over-current detection circuit 1 is arranged at an
upper level of detective circuitry, and its activation will turn off all outputs located under it.
When the over-current detection circuit 2 detects over-current, the machine will stop out-
puts [2] and [3]. Likewise, when the over-current circuit 3 detects a high level of current, the
machine will stop output [3].
The machine is also equipped with a fuse to cut off outputs in the event any of the ele-
ments in circuits fails.

4. Others
4.1 Silent Mode
In silent mode, the revolution of the laser scanner motor is reduced (1/2) to lower the
machine’s operating noise when it is in standby state. (The time interval used by the ma-
chine to shift to silent mode is set in user mode.)
The machine has to wait until the revolution of the laser scanner motor returns from silent
mode to normal, taking a while longer than otherwise before it starts printing.

5. Disassembly and Assembly

The machine’s mechanical characteristics and features are as described herein, and the
machine may be disassembled or assembled as instructed while keeping the following in
mind:

1. The power plug must be disconnected for the work.

2. Unless otherwise indicated, the machine may be assembled by reversing the steps used
to disassemble it.

3. The screws must be identified by type (length, diameter) and location.

4. The mounting screw of the grounding wire and the varistors is equipped with a toothed
washer to ensure electrical continuity. They must not be left out when fitting the screws.

5. As a rule, the machine must not be operated with any of its parts removed.

6. The front door switch or the main power switch must be turned off before sliding out
the duplex unit or the fixing/feeding unit.

7. Toner must not be thrown away into fire to avoid explosion.

Keep the following three points in mind when replacing the PCBs:
• Be sure to transfer the six EEP-ROMs from the old to new PCBs; at
that time, be sure to refer to the color of each round label attached to the
EEP-ROM for correct transfer.
• Be sure to enter the values indicated on the label [3] on the new PCB in
service mode by making the following selections:
COPIER>ADJUST>HV-TR>D-PRE-TR
COPIER>ADJUST>HV-TR>D-HV-TR
COPIER>ADJUST>HV-SP>D-HV-SP
