Precautions for Service

When performing inspection and service procedures, observe the following precautions to prevent mishandling of the machine and its parts. Depending on the model, some of the precautions given in the following do not apply.

• When the user is using a word processor or personal computer from a wall outlet of the same line, take necessary steps to prevent the circuit breaker from opening due to over-loads.

• Never disturb the LAN by breaking or making a network connection, altering termination, installing or removing networking hardware or software, or shutting down networked devices without the knowledge and express permission of the network administrator or the shop supervisor.

1. DIS/REASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENT• To reassemble the product, reverse the order of disassembly unless otherwise specified.2. TROUBLESHOOTING• If a component on a PWB or any other functional unit including a motor is defective, the

text only instructs you to replace the whole PWB or functional unit and does not give troubleshooting procedures applicable within the defective unit.

• All troubleshooting procedures contained herein assume that there are no breaks in the harnesses and cords and all connectors are plugged into the right positions.

• The procedures preclude possible malfunctions due to noise and other external causes.

• Check the area surrounding the service site for any signs of damage, wear or need of repair.

• Keep all disassembled parts in good order and keep tools under control so that none will be lost or damaged.

• After completing a service job, perform a safety check. Make sure that all parts, wiring and screws are returned to their original positions.

• Do not pull out the toner hopper while the toner bottle is turning. This could result in a damaged motor or locking mechanism.

• If the product is to be run with the front door open, make sure that the toner hopper is in the locked position.

• Do not use an air gun or vacuum cleaner for cleaning the ATDC Sensor and other sen-sors, as they can cause electrostatic destruction. Use a blower brush and cloth. If a unit containing these sensors is to be cleaned, first remove the sensors from the unit.

P-8

1. During Transportation/Storage:• During transportation or when in storage, new P.W. Boards must not be indiscriminately

removed from their protective conductive bags. • Do not store or place P.W. Boards in a location exposed to direct sunlight and high tem-

perature. • When it becomes absolutely necessary to remove a Board from its conductive bag or

case, always place it on its conductive mat in an area as free as possible from static elec-tricity.

• Do not touch the pins of the ICs with your bare hands.• Protect the PWBs from any external force so that they are not bent or damaged.

2. During Inspection/Replacement: • Avoid checking the IC directly with a multimeter; use connectors on the Board. • Never create a closed circuit across IC pins with a metal tool.• Before unplugging connectors from the P.W. Boards, make sure that the power cord has

been unplugged from the outlet.• When removing a Board from its conductive bag or conductive case, do not touch the

pins of the ICs or the printed pattern. Place it in position by holding only the edges of the Board.

• When touching the PWB, wear a wrist strap and connect its cord to a securely grounded place whenever possible. If you cannot wear a wrist strap, touch a metal part to dis-charge static electricity before touching the PWB.

• Note that replacement of a PWB may call for readjustments or resetting of particular items.

• The magnet roller generates a strong magnetic field. Do not bring it near a watch, floppy disk, magnetic card, or CRT tube.

Only for Products Not Employing an Imaging Cartridge.1. During Transportation/Storage: • Use the specified carton whenever moving or storing the PC Drum. • The storage temperature is in the range between –20°C and +40°C.• In summer, avoid leaving the PC Drum in a car for a long time.

2. Handling: • Ensure that the correct PC Drum is used. • Whenever the PC Drum has been removed from the copier, store it in its carton or pro-

tect it with a Drum Cloth. • The PC Drum exhibits greatest light fatigue after being exposed to strong light over an

extended period of time. Never, therefore, expose it to direct sunlight. • Use care not to contaminate the surface of the PC Drum with oil-base solvent, finger-

prints, and other foreign matter.• Do not scratch the surface of the PC Drum. • Do not apply chemicals to the surface of the PC Drum. • Do not attempt to wipe clean the surface of the PC Drum.

If, however, the surface is contaminated with fingerprints, clean it using the following proce-dure.

Handling of the PC Drum

1. Place the PC Drum into one half of its carton.

1076D001

2. Gently wipe the residual toner off the surface of the PC Drum with a dry, Dust-Free Cotton Pad.

A. Turn the PC Drum so that the area of its surface on which the line of toner left by the Cleaning Blade is present is facing straight up. Wipe the surface in one continuous movement from the rear edge of the PC Drum to the front edge and off the surface of the PC Drum.

B. Turn the PC Drum slightly and wipe the newly exposed surface area with a CLEAN face of the Dust-Free Cotton Pad. Repeat this procedure until the entire surface of the PC Drum has been thor-oughly cleaned.

At this time, always use a CLEAN face of the dry Dust-Free Cotton Pad until no toner is evident on the face of the Pad after wiping.

1076D002

Page 13: Minolta CF 1501/2001 SM

P-10

NOTES• Even when the PC Drum is only locally dirtied, wipe the entire surface.• Do not expose the PC Drum to direct sunlight. Clean it as quickly as possible even under

interior illumination.• If dirt remains after cleaning, repeat the entire procedure from the beginning one more

time.

Only for Products Employing an Imaging Cartridge.1. During Transportation/Storage: • The storage temperature is in the range between –20°C and +40°C.• In summer, avoid leaving the Imaging Cartridge in a car for a long time.

2. Handling: • Store the Imaging Cartridge in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Precautionary Information on the PC Drum Inside the Imaging Cartridge:• Use care not to contaminate the surface of the PC Drum with oil-base solvent, finger-

prints, and other foreign matter.• Do not scratch the surface of the PC Drum. • Do not attempt to wipe clean the surface of the PC Drum.

3. Soak a small amount of either ethyl alcohol or iso-propyl alcohol into a clean, unused Dust-Free Cot-ton Pad which has been folded over into quarters. Now, wipe the surface of the PC Drum in one con-tinuous movement from its rear edge to its front edge and off its surface one to two times.

Never move the Pad back and forth.

1076D003

4. Using the SAME face of the Pad, repeat the proce-dure explained in the latter half of step 3 until the entire surface of the PC Drum has been wiped. Always OVERLAP the areas when wiping. Two complete turns of the PC Drum would be appropri-ate for cleaning.

<Electrical Component Check Procedure Through Checking Input Data>

ExampleWhen a paper misfeed occurs in the paper take-up section of the copier, the 2nd Drawer Paper Take-Up Sensor is considered to be responsible for it.<Procedure>1. Remove the sheet of paper misfed.2. From the I/O Check List that follows, it is known that the input signal of the 2nd Drawer

Paper Take-Up Sensor may be checked with the data of “Take-Up” of “2nd Drawer.”3. From the “Tech. Rep. Mode” menu, select “State Confirm” and then “I/O Check.” Then,

select the screen that contains “Take-Up” under “2nd Drawer.”4. Check that the data for “Take-Up” under “2nd Drawer” is “0” (sensor blocked).5. Move the actuator to unblock the 2nd Drawer Paper Take-Up Sensor.6. Check that the data for “Take-up” under “2nd Drawer” changes from “0” to “1” on the

screen.1: Sensor is operational. 0: Sensor is faulty.

4. IMAGE QUALITY PROBLEMS4-1. Troubleshooting Image Quality Problems

• This chapter is divided into two parts: “Initial Check Items” and “Troubleshooting Proce-dure by a Particular Image Quality Problem.”

• When an image quality problem occurs, first go through the “Initial Check Items” and, if the cause is yet to be identified, go to “Troubleshooting Procedure by a Particular Image Quality Problem.”

4-2. Initial Check Items1. First determine which of the following three is responsible for the image quality prob-

lem: the input system (IR), interface system, or the output system (printer).When an image quality problem occurs, possible causes that are likely to be responsi-ble for it may be broadly grouped into the following three: those relating to the Scanner of the IR unit, the interface between the IR unit and printer, and the printer.As a procedure to isolate basic causes, you first let the printer produce test prints. If the image quality problem of the same sort is evident on the test patterns, then the printer is very likely to be responsible for it. If not, the cause is attributable to the Scanner of the IR unit or the interface.The next step to take to identify whether the problem is attributable to the IR Scanner or the interface is to produce IR test prints. If the problem of the same sort is evident on the test patterns, then the interface is probably responsible for it.If the same symptom does not occur on the test prints, then the IR Scanner is responsi-ble for the problem.

2. If the output system (printer) is responsible for the image quality problem, determine if it occurs with a single color of Y, M, C, or Bk, or four colors.By rule of thumb, if the problem occurs with a single color, the corresponding Imaging Unit is very likely to be faulty. If the problem occurs with four colors, the Transfer Belt and/or Fusing Unit are probably defective.The same problematic symptom occurs with each of the four colors, then the Transfer Belt, Image Transfer Rollers, and/or the Fusing Unit are responsible for it.If the symptom occurs with a single color, each Imaging Unit is responsible for it.
