Summary of product

3) Paper Feeding, Toner Cartridge Sensing

When paper passes the actuator on the feed sensor, it is detected by the Photo interrupter.

Signal (nP_FEED, PIN 186) monitored by the CPU and this signal starts the process of creating the image after certain delay time If the feed sensor is not detected within 1 sec. after paper is fed, a paper Jam0 occurs. (Displayed on the LCD panel).

When a toner cartridge is inserted it also operates the Paper Feed sensor. A message is displayed on the LCD id no cartridge is detected.

4) Paper Exit Sensing

This detects that paper exits cleanly from the set using an exit sensor on the engine board and actuator on the frame. The monitors signal (P_EXIT, PIN 84) and detects the on/off time of the exit sensor and if jam status is detected then JAM2 is displayed the on the LCD panel.

5) Cover Open Sensing

The Cover open sensor actuator is located on the front cover and the senor is in the main frame.

When the front cover is open the +24V and +5V supplies to the DC fan, solenoid, main motor, polygon motor part of LSU, HVPS and LSU Laser diode are cut off. The CPU monitors signal (COVER_OPEN, GPIO_11) to recognize when the cover is open.

6) DC FAN / SOLENOID Driver

It is driven by a transistor and controlled by signal (FAN, GPIO_7; Main Clutch Solenoid:PIN 185,MP Clutch Solenoid: PIN 184) bit of the CPU.

When it is high the fan is activated by turning on the TR, and it is off when the sleep mode is selected. There are three solenoids and these are driven by the Paper Pick-up, Regi and MP signals. The diode protects the driving TR from the Back-EMF pulse which is generated when the solenoid is de-energized.

7) Motor Driver

The motor driving circuit is activated when the Driver IC is enabled. An AN44060 (Motor driver IC) is used in this case. The resistance Rs value of sensing and the voltage value of the V reference can be changed by the motor driving volt- age value.
