1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION -
---\/ I. FEATURES 1. Front-loading.
- The copier is designed to accept cassettes from the front for ease of use (two cassettes holding 250 sheets each).
l The copier is given two cassette holders, thereby eliminating the need for cassette replacement in making copies of different sizes.
* The copiers multifeeder allows Jeeding multiple postcards.
2. Full line of automatic features - The copier has an auto paper selection mechanism as standard, which selects paper of
the correct size in response to placement of a document. - With the auto reproduction ratio selection mechanism, the copier calculates the correct
reproduction ratio according to the specified copy size. * The AE (auto exposure) mechanism ensures crisp reproduction of newspapers and blue-
print documents.
I\ - The copiers auto-start feature lets you press the COPY START key during the wait period : so that the copier will start making copies as soon as it becomes ready.
3. HQ jumping toner. - The copier uses Canons own HQ (high quality) jumping toner for reproduction of clear
characters and photos. l The toner is a single-component type, which provides stable images. l In addition, a 30mm-dia. high sensitivity OPC drum is used to enable enhanced image
reproduction and a compact copier design.
4. Man-machine interface. l As many as 20 copies (A4, landscape) may be made per minute. - The zoom mechanism allows reduction down to 50% and enlarqement up to 200% of the
original image. - The page separation mode serves to speed up copying bound documents. - The copier accepts documents as small as a postcard or as large as A3. * With the CT Unit (option), the copies may be in red, green, blue, or brown
- I 1
5. A variety of options to choose from for full automation. The copier commun/cates with its options at a higher speed than ever, resulting in more output per given time.
* With options, up to 20 copies/min; 1:1 (A4, landscape).
* ADF-Al for automatic document feed. - Sorter-Al for automatic sorting and grouping (20 bins) l MS-Al for automatic sorting aid grouping (70 bins). * Control Card V (configured as built-in) for copy volume control (up to 200 groups). l Stapler Sorter-BNIl for stapling copies sorted in its ten bins.

Basic Copying Operation Set the power switch to ON.
If the temperature of the fixing roller is too low for copying, the indicator of the COPY START key will blink green. When the temperature of the fixing roller becomes high enough for copying, the indicator will glow green. The normal *waiting time at room temperature (20C) is about 90 seconds.
Raise the copyboard cover, place an original on the copvboard with the side to be copied facing down, and align it with the size index. To adjust the copy density manually, the AE key indicator should be OFF; press the key once if it is ON. Set the COPY DENSITY lever to suit the original. Check the size of paper in the cassette. a) If the cassette does not have the
desired size of paper, remove it and install a cassette with the desired size.
Set the required number of copies (1 to 99) using the NUMERIC keypad and confirm that the correct number appears on the COPY COUNT/RATIO indicator. a) If an error was made in inputting
the number of copies, press the CLEAR/STOP kev and reset the number of copies. _
Press the COPY START key. To stop a continuous copying operation, press the CLEAWSTOP key or RESET key. The copier will complete the copy in progress, then stop. The COPY COUNT/RATIO indicator will display the initial copy quantity. It is possible to switch from automatic exposure control to manual density adjustment at any time from the start of copying to the completion of the final copy. However, it is not possible to switch from manual density adjustment to automatic.

} $$JpQ
Figure 2-8
As shown in Figure 2-8, the developing assembly consists of a developing cylinder (a stationary magnet surrounded by a rotating sleeve) and a blade made of magnetic material. Black toner is a single component type consisting of a fine powder of mixed magnetite and resin binder. The toner has insulating properties and is charged to a positive potential by friction with the rotating cylinder.
Color developer is a two-component type consisting of iron powder (carrier) and
toner mixed together in a fixed ratio. The main component of the toner is resin. The /--- toner is charged to a positive potential and , the iron powder to a negative potential by friction with the rotating cylinder.
Figure 2-9
A concentrated magnetic field develops between the magnet and the edge of the _ blade. This field attracts the charged developer.
The developer is held virtually immobile by the magnetic field, forming a curtain along the edge of the blade. As the cylinder rotates, this curtain skims the toner particles on its surface to a thin uniform layer.
An AC bias plus a negative DC bias are applied simultaneously to the developing cylinder so that the waveform of the developing bias has a larger negative excursion than positive.
.q++fjyg
DC bias
Figure 2~10
During copying toner is attracted to the drum by the charges on the drum surface and by repulsion due to the developing bias (during the positive excursion), transforming the latent electrostatic image into a visible image. Excess toner particles are attracted back to the cylinder from the drum due to the charges on the drum surface and the developing bias (during the negative excursion).
The DC bias affects copy density and _ fogging: As the DC bias becomes less negative (approaching OV), the density and _ degree of fogging both increase.

II. EXPOSURE SYSTEM A. Changing the Reproduction
Ratio The reproduction ratio across the drum
is varied by changing the position of the lens. It is moved by the lens drive system. The reproduction ratio around the drum is varied by changing the speed of the scanner. Figure 3-10 shows how the position of the lens is varied to change the reproduction ratio across the drum

Figure 3-10
The scanner drive system changes the reproduction ratio around the drum by varying the speed at which mirror 1 moves relative to the peripheral speed of the drum. (The scanner is mirror 1 plus the scanning lamp.)
The mirror speed is faster than the drum peripheral speed for REDUCTION and slower for ENLARGEMENT.

B. Lens Drive System 1. Outline
,-
The lens is moved by the scanner motor (M2). Normally, the coupling gear is in its upper position, and connects the scanner motor to the scanner drive capstan. To move the lens, the lens solenoid (SL2) goes ON, causing the coupling gear to disengage from the scanner capstan gear and engage with the lens capstan gear. The lens is a floating element type. In operation, the relative position of the lens elements (individual lenses) changes, and the focal length changes as a result, but the changes are to optimize lens sharpness for each reproduction ratio, not to make the lens function as a zoom lens. (The lens should not be dismantled.)
When the scanner motor rotates (CW), the lens will be moved to the left (for ENLARGEMENT) by the capstan and cable.
When the cassette size is changed or when the copier is in the REDUCE mode, the blank exposure shutter moves in relation to the distance over which the lens travels, thereby blanking out the width corres- ponding to the reproduction ratio; see p. 3-31.
The DC controller indicates E210 on the control panel in response to an error in the lens drive system.

C. Scanner Drive System 1. Outline
The scanner is driven by the scanner motor (M2). The direction of rotation of the scanner motor determines whether the scanner moves forward or backward. The forward speed of the scanner motor is continuously variable to produce the required reproduction ratio. The reverse
speed is fixed regardless of the reproduction ratio (2.5 times the forward speed for DIRECT copying).
The distance that the scanner moves varies to suit the size of copy paper and the reproduction ratio.
The control panel displays E202 in response to an error in the scanner motor (M2) or the scanner home position sensor (Q3).

4. Scanner Motor Drive System Operation The scanner motor is a 4-phase
stepping motor, and rotates CW and CCW depending on the combination of pulses (A, K B, E) to each phase. a. Clockwise Rotation
The scanner motor driver outputs pulses, and the motor rotates CW. This moves the lens in the direction for REDUCTION, and the scanner moves forward.
For REDUCTION copying, the motor speed increases to move the scanner faster (forward).
b. Counterclockwise Rotation The scanner motor is driven CCW by
pulses of phase relationship opposite of that used to drive it CW. This moves the lens in the direction for ENLARGEMENT, and moves the scanner in reverse.
c. Mechanism The motor-driver circuit controls the
direction and speed of the scanner motor based on the following signals generated by the microprocessor on the DC controller: l scanner motor drive commandMD) A scanner forward command (SCFW) * scanner speed control command(SCCLK)

Timing of operations, I, II, and III shown in figure 3-16 is with reference to the leading edge of the first page of the document (fall of Q3 signal).
I: The distance traveled by the scanner from the leading edge of the original is determined by the reproduction ratio and the copy paper size, just as for a normal copy.
II: This is roughly the same as I. If the
forward distance traveled by the scanner is greater than 210 mm the DC controller will judge that 210 mm is the leading edge of the original. If the distance that the scanner moves ,forward is less than 210 mm, the point at which the scanner reverses in I will be the leading edge of the second page of the document.

D. Document Size Identification 1. Outline
The copier is equipped with auto ljaper selection and auto reproduction ratio selection mechanisms. These mechanisms call for identification of the document size as described below.
To enable such identification, three circuits areattached under the copyboard glass (Figure 3-17); when the copyboard cover is lowered, the DC controller checks the output of the& circuits twice, thereby identifying the document as A3, A4, A4R, or A5R.
The document identification circuit causes its LED to emit light to illuminate the document; the reflected light is then checked by the phototransistor, whose output is sent to the DC controller.
2. Mechanism The DC controller checks the output of
the document identification circuit when the copyboard cover is lowered to about 20 deg. (SW4 ON) and about 1 set second after the over has been lowered to about 5 deg. (SW5 ON).
TheDC controller recognized the presence of a document if the two measurements are identical; conversely, it recognizes the absence of a,document if the measurements are different.
1 DC conboller PCB DC controller PCB I (The thickness of the arrows represents the degree of the level.)
Figure 3-17
When a document is present, the light reflected by the document is checked by the document identification circuit; therefore, the output of the circuit is constant regardless of the angle of the copyboard cover.
When no document is present, the output of the circuit from the first measure- ment is low or none at all; the output
of the circuit from the second measurement, on the other hand, is high because the light is reflected by the document sheet.
If the document is too thick and, therefore, if only SW4 goes ON, the document size is Identified based on the current output level.

2. a.
b.
Mechanism Turning the Scanning Lamp ON and OFF The microprocessor (Q303) on the DC
controller PCB controls the lamp regulator. The scanning lamp goes ON when the scanning LAMP ON command (LAON) is l, and it goes OFF when the signal is 0. Controlling the Intensity of the Scanning Lamp The machine exerts phase control by
the zero-cross signal (ZXDP) to stabilize the light intensity.
CT unit I
The intensity of the scanning lamp is switched between when the black - developing assembly is used and when the, __ CT unit is used.
When the CT unit is used, the LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL command. (m) goes 1 to raise the lamp voltage by about 3.5 V higher than when the black developing assembly is used.
During AE exposure, however, the voltage (70 V) applied to the scanning lamp remains the same.
The NP6020 adjusts the copy density using its development bias; see p, 3-26. c. Error Protection
The condition of the scanning lamp is monitored using the LIGHT signal (LGHT).
If the LIGHT signal (LGHT) is received ,---- by the DC controller for about 20 set, the error detection circuit generates the AC SHUTGFF signal (ACOFF) to force the relay (KlOl) on the AC driver/DC power supply PCB to go OFF, thereby cutting AC power supply (P. 3-45). In this case, E220 error is displayed.

Maintaining Primary/Transfer Corona Current Constant If the primary corona current is greater
than the correct value due to changes in the environment, the level (analog) of the feedback signal to the differential amplifier circuit will increase and the output from the differential amplifier circuit will fall. As a result, the primary/transfer coronal current will fall. Similarly, if the primary corona current is too low, it will be increased
If the output side of the high-voltage transformer supplying the primary corona assembly should be overloaded, the current will be limited to a certain maximum.

E. Controlling Developing Bias ,,___ 1. Outline
The circuit shown in Figure 3-25 - controls the developing bias. Its main functions are as follows. a. Switching AC component of the
developing bias ON/OFF. b. Regulating voltage of the DC
component of the developing bias.
The copy density can be controlled by varying the voltage of the developing bias to suit the following variables.
a. Settings of COPY DENSITY lever and recalibration dial
b. AE sensor output c. Type of developing assembly
When there is a black developing *- assembly in the copier, J306-1 and J306-4 are connected electrically to inform the copier that a black developing assembly is in place.
The photosensitive drum gradually deteriorates with use, causing the potential (VL) of light areas of the drum to increase, so that copy density is not correct for a given setting of the copy density lever. To compensate for this, operate the COPY DENSITY knob, which can be turned to raise the DC bias by exactly the increase in VL, thereby producing clear copies again.
2. Operation a. Switching AC component of the \

The square wave generator operates continuously while the copier remains ON.

b) When ACBON = 0
I, The AC bias switch circuit goes OFF.
The output of the square wave oscillator goes to the Tl drive circuit. This causes the AC high-voltage transformer to generate a 1300VAC AC bias, which is supplied tothe developing cylinder.
Also, the output of the AC high-voltage transformer is rectified and supplied to the static charge eliminator (approx. 3.2 kV). b. Controlling DC bias
The differential amplifier of Figure 3-25 operates when DCBC is 16V or below. (The range of DCBC (analog) is 6 to 16V, as set by the copy density cursor or the AE system.)

The scanner moves forward approxi- mately 70 mm past the leading edge of the original and stops momentarily.

G. Developing Assembly/ Drum Cleaner
1. Outlines The paddle inside the drum cleaning
unit and also the developing cylinder are rotated by the main motor.
The amount of toner in the developing assembly is sen$ed by the black toner level sensor (TSl).
When the amount of toner falls below the required quantity, the ADD TONER indicator on the control panel will flash.
When the toner in the CT unit is used up, the entire CT unit should be, replaced.
The toner collected by the cleaning blade is stored in the drum cleaning unit.
The developing assembly is pressed against the drum by a cam that presses against the developing assembly rail. (The cam is operated by the developing assembly release lever.)
2. Remaining Toner Sensor The black developing assembly has a
piezoelectric type sensor (TSl) which senses if the toner remaining in the hopper of the developing assembly is above or below the required level.
When the amount of toner in the ,_ hopper is sufficient, the sensor output is 1. When it is below the specified level, the output is 0.
The DC controller makes checks for 30 seconds during copying, if the TONER EMPTY signal (BTEP) is being outputted. ,If the, signal is outputted continuously for 30 seconds, it is regarded as TONER OUT and the DC controller makes the ADD TONER indicator flash.
The CT unit for this copier does not have a toner remaining sensor or waste toner sensor.
3. Torque Limiter There is a torque limiter in the drive
train between the main motor and the drum -- to stop the drum in response to a jam in the drum cleaner.

H. Blanking 1. Outline
The area of the drum between the trailing edge of one copy and the leading edge of the next would normally act as an all black area and attract toner if a preventive measure were not taken. This measure is to switch the primary corona OFF and the primary corona assembly grid wire bias ON. (There is no blank exposure; see page 3-25.)
When the copy (cassette) size is a non- default size or when the copier is in the REDUCE mode, the light from the pre- exposure lamp is directed to the photosensitive drum by way of the reflecting plate to prevent adhesion of toner; the blank exposure shutter is moved to open the exposure slit making use of the movement of the lens.

Movement of the Blank Exposure Mechanism When the copier is switched ON, the lens first moves in the direction of enlargement and then returns to the home position. Next, the lens moves in the direction of reduction for blank exposure up to a point that corres- ponds to the cassette size. At the time, the blank solenoid goes ON, and the blank exposure shuttermmoves in the direction of the arrow bythe force of the spring.

DIRECT and ENLARGE copies are made with the mechanism in this position.

IV. PAPERTRANSPORT SYSTEM
A. Paper Pick-up Assembly and Feeder
1. &line When the pick-up clutch solenoids
(SLl, SL6) engage, the main motor (Ml) turns the roller, feeding a sheet of copy paper to the registration rollers. The number of rotations of the pick-up roller varies with the fength of the copy paper.
The copy paper is fed by the registration rollers so that its leading edge is in line with the leading edge of the toner image on the photosensitive drum. It then passes through the transfer, separation, feed, fixing and delivery stages to the copy tray.
The copy paper is sensed by paper sensors (Q2, Q5). If it does not reach or pass the sensors within the specified period, the DC controller PCB judges that a jam has occurred and causes the JAM indicator on the control panel to flash.
Cassette paper sensors (Q6, Q7) senses whether there is paper in the cassette. If there is not, the CASSETTE PAPER EMPTY signals (UCPD, LCPD) becomes O, causing the ADD PAPER indicator on the control panel to go ON.

When the copy paper reaches the registration roller, the multifeeder clutch (CL2) goes OFF and the pick-up roller stops.
At the same time, the multifeeder solenoid (SL3) goes ON to transmit the drive of the main motor (Ml) to the cam
mechanism, thereby lowering the multi- feeder holding tray to prevent dirt on the next copy paper in duplex.
The multifeeder solenoid (SL3) goes OFF as soon as the first copy paper moves past the pre-registration paper moves past the preregistration paper sensor (Q2); at the time, the multifeeder holding tray returns to the normal pick-up position.

Temperature The upper and lower rollers of the fixing
assembly and the delivery roller of the delivery unit are driven by the main motor (Ml). -
The upper roller is heated by a heater (H1:95OW) built in it.
The DC controller monitors the surface temperature of the upper heater by means of a thermistor (THl) so as to control the temperature to a specific value.
The temperature of the upper fixing roller is controlled as follows: @ For Black Developing Assembly
,/ --Y 175C (at standby, during copy ooeration) 140% (inpre-heat mode)
0 ForCTUnit 155C (at standby, during copy operation) 140C (in pre-heat mode)
To prevent drops in the temperature of the upper roller during continuous copy operation, the control temperature IS switched after 2 copies for long paper (a, Table 3-6) and 4 copies for short paper (b, Table 3-6).
For Black Developing Assembly If the copy is narrow (c, Table 3-6) the control temperature is 175C.
If the copy is wide (d, Table 3-6), the control temperature is switched from 175C to 165C.
For CT Unit If the copy is narrow (c, Table 3-6) the control temperature is 155C.

The copier is equipped with three protection mechanisms to prevent the fixing heater from going ON at wrong timing.
- The microprocebsor monitors the voltage of THl and indicates EOOO or EOOl in response to an error.
l If the voltage of THl falls below about 0.9 V (equivalent of 215C), the error detection circuit cuts off the supply power to the fixing heater regardless of the output of the microprocessor. If the inside temperature of the thermal
switch rises above 220% the power to the fixing heater will be off.

C. Jam Detection The copier has two sensors to sense
whether copy paper is being fed normally. l Preregistration paper sensor (02) - Delivery paper sensor (Q5)
Paper jams can be identified by the microprocessor by reading signals from the sensors at predetermined times to check if paper is at or not at a sensor at that time, and thus identify if the paper is moving through the copier correctly.
If a jam occurs, the copier memorizes the number of copies that have not yet been made and also the copier settings. This information is stored in the copier, even if the power is cut off by opening the front door in order to reset the copier.
The microprocessor identifies a jam in - any of the following four cases. Also, the microprocessor judges that there is a jam if I one of the sensors detects paper when the power is switched ON.
1. Pick-up Assembly Delay Jam If the copy paper does not reach the
paper sensor of the pick-up assembly within a specified period after paper pick-up-starts, the microprocessor will judge that a pick-up delay jam has occurred, and immediately stop the operation of the copier. Also, the JAM indicator on the control panel will flash and a segment of,the PAPER SELECT/JAM indicator will go ON.

V. POWER SUPPLY A. AC Driver/DC Power Supply, 1. Outline
The AC driver/DC power supply PCB is supplied with AC power when the door switch (SW2) and the power switch (SWl) go.ON.
On the other hand, the DC power supply supplies the main body with 24 VDC and 5 VDC.
24 VDC is used to drive the scanner motor (M2), fans and solenoids as well as high-voltage transformer (HVT); 5 VDC is used by the sensors and ICs on the DC controller PCB.
2. DC Power Supply Circuit The 24 VDC for the DC power supply is
supplied by the switching regulator. The 5 VDC, on the other hand, is
supplied by the DC/DC converter after conversion from 24 VDC.
The DC/DC converter generates the reset signal (RESET) after power-on and until the 5VDC supply stabilizes to reset the micro processor, thereby preventing malfunction of the micro processor.
3. AC Driver Circuit
- The DC power supply/AC driver PCB has an AC driver circuit and, based on the signals from the DC controller PCB, controls the SSRs and relays on the DC power supply/AC driver PCB to drive AC loads.
If the DC controller PCB detects an error, the ACOFF signal is generated to turn the relay (KIOI) on the DC power supply/AC driver PCB OFF, thereby shutting off the power to the lamp regulator and the fixing heater.
When the power is shut off, switch the copier OFF, and identify the cause; then, switch the copier OFF.
Note that repeated short-circuiting and resetting can cause the built-in fuse to blow.
