Operation
Scan/exposure lamp control
A. Operation when the power is turned ON The home position varies depending on whether DF is open or closed. When DF is open, the home position is at the platen APS read position and when it is closed, the DF read position becomes the home position. When the power is turned ON, a search is made with the APS read position as the home position regardless of whether DF is open or not. While the power switch (SW2) is ON, the exposure unit conducts the home position search and the shading correction. (1) Home position search The home position search varies depending on whether the scanner home sensor (PS61) [2] is turned ON or OFF.

6. SCANNER SECTION (2) Shading correction
bizhub 750/600
After completion of the home position search [4], the exposure unit conducts shading corrections. For shading corrections, there are the following types of corrections: white correction 1 [5], white correction 2 [6], and black correction [7]. For the shading correction at the time of the power ON, these corrections are carried out in a series of operations. And after completion of the corrections, the exposure unit returns to the position at which the platen APS is read [1]. When DF is open, the exposure unit stands by at the APS read position. And when it is closed, however, the unit conducts the home position search to the position [3] at which DF is read.

operation, the shading correction is carried out first. However, unlike the operation when the power is turned ON, the exposure unit proceeds to the original read operation with the exposure lamp (L1) left on, and therefore, the black correction is not conducted.

When the start button is turned ON [3] while in the AE copy, the exposure unit conducts the white correction 1 [4] and the white correction 2 [5] before the AE scan [6] is made. And then the exposure scan [7] is carried out. After completion of the exposure scan, the home position search [8] is made.

The polygon mirror is driven by the polygon motor (M15) and the number of its rotations changes according to the process speed that varies with the type of paper. A. In the case of bizhub 750 Type of paper Regular Thick paper NOTE The number of rotations of the polygon mirror for the thick paper is the same as that for the regular paper. However, to comply with the reduction in the process speed (to as much as 50%), every other plane of the six reflection planes of the polygon mirror is used to scan the laser beam. B. In the case of bizhub 600 Type of paper Regular Thick paper NOTE The number of rotations of the polygon mirror for the thick paper is faster than that for the regular paper.

Operation
8.3.1 Image creation control When the print start signal turns ON [1], various types of motors turn ON to make each of the units operative. At this time, the erase lamp (EL) also turns ON to start to neutralize [2] the drum. And a specified period of time after this signal is sent, a high voltage impression is made on the charging [3], the developing bias [4], the transfer guide [5] and the toner guide roller (TGR) [7] to form images on the drum surface by the laser irradiation and the developing. In parallel with the operation above, a specified period of time after completion of the formation of a loop on the paper [6] supplied in the registration roller section, a drum ready signal [8] is generated. With this as a starting point, the registration clutch (CL1) turns ON. When CL1 turns on, the drive force of the registration motor (M5) is transmitted to the registration roller to start the registration conveyance [9] of the 1st sheet of paper that has formed the loop. At this time, when the paper is fed from the trays 1 to 4, LU or ADU (only while in the double sided copy mood), the loop motor (M6) that drives the loop roller and the ADU pre-registration roller changes the line speed into a low speed to assist [10] the loop. With this conveyance, the paper edge sensor (PS43) detects the leading edge of the paper and turns ON [11]. And a specified period of time after that, it turns on successively the transfer exposure lamp [12], the high voltage impression ON the separation [13] and the transfer [14], and the drum claw solenoid [15]. In due course of time, the paper passes through the drum and at this time, the images formed on the drum are transferred to the paper, and then finally the paper is separated from the drum. A series of these operations is realized by the continuous conveyance of paper, and when PS43 detects the trailing edge of paper and it turns OFF [16], each of the operations is also turned OFF a specified period of time after that. However, while in the print of two or more sheets of paper, some of the operations continue for a specified period of time after PS43 detects the trailing edge of the last sheet of paper and turns OFF [21]. Paper the transfer of which has been completed is conveyed to the fusing section through the conveyance section. M5 and the fusing motor (M4) that have a bearing on the drive in this conveyance path continue to operate until the paper exit sensor (PS37) detects the trailing edge of the last paper and turns OFF [22].

Theory of Operation Ver1.0 Aug.2005 8.3.2 Drum claw control
To prevent the occurrence of a drum wrap jam, 3 drum claws are employed to prevent the drum from being wrapped with the paper. The contact and the release of contact of the drum claws onto the drum is made by turning on and off the drum claw solenoid (SD1). B. Oscillating operation To prevent the paper from getting soiled in certain areas and the drum from being damaged, the drum claw conducts the oscillation of about 8 mm on the drum surface. There is a projection on the rear side of the separation guide plate assembly to which the drum claw is installed. A cam provided on the gear presses this projection to push the separation guide plate assembly to the front side. When the cam is released by the rotation of the gear, the separation guide plate assembly is brought back to its former position by the spring. Repeating this operation oscillates the drum claws. 8.3.3 Cooling around the drum
The duct [3] is provided in the main scan direction of the drum [4] to exhaust heat and ozone around the drum by the developing suction fan (FM4) [1]. To prevent toner and dust contained in the exhaust from escaping into the environment, the developing suction filter is provided between the developing suction fan [FM4] and the duct. And also, the developing cooling fan (FM12) is employed to cool down the underside of the developing unit to improve the performance of the developer.

A. Pick-up control The up operation of the lift plate causes the paper and the pick-up roller come into contact. At this time, the pick-up roller pressurizes the paper by its own weight. When the print start signal [1] turns ON [2] the paper feed clutches /1 (CL3) and /2 (CL5), the pick-up roller that pressurized the paper is rotated by the rotational drive that is transmitted from the paper feed motor (M1) to pick up the paper and convey it to the feed roller. The feed roller rotates together with the pick-up roller and the paper is conveyed to the pre-registration roller. When the paper feed sensors /1 (PS1) and /2 (PS7) positioned short of the pre-registration roller turn ON [3], the CL3 and CL5 turn OFF [4] a specified period of time after this to stop the rotation of the feed roller and the pick-up roller. When the 1st sheet of paper passes through PS1 and PS7 and they turn OFF [5], CL3 and CL5 turn ON [6] again to pick up the 2nd sheet of paper.

limiter [1]. However, it is pressed against the feed roller [8] by the working pressure generated by the pressure [9] of the spring [3] and the torque of the torque limiter. This working pressure of the feed roller, the separation roller and the torque limiter becomes a limit torque for the double feed prevention of paper. When no paper is conveyed or when only one sheet of paper is convey between the separation roller and the feed roller, the frictional force is greater than the limit torque and the separation roller is driven by the feed roller to be rotated [5]. When 2 or more sheets of paper are conveyed between the separation roller and the feed roller, the limit torque is greater than the frictional force of these sheets of paper and the separation roller rotates in the reverse direction [2] to push back the lower paper [7] in contact with the separation roller in the direction [6] of the tray, thus separating the paper. And, the separation clutch is provided on the same shaft of the torque limiter, and to reduce the load of the torque limiter on the paper feed motor (M1), it turns ON only when paper is being fed.

Paper that passed through the feed roller [5] and the separation roller [3] is sent out to the pre-registration roller [7]. The paper thus sent out presses the actuator [1] to turn ON the paper feed sensors /1 (PS1) and /2 (PS7) [6].

D. Pre-registration control The pre-registration roller is driven by the paper feed motor (M1) through the pre-registration clutches /1 (CL4) and /2 (CL6). Turning ON and OFF the CL4 and CL6 transmits and shuts off the drive force to rotate and stop the motor. From the moment when the paper feed sensors /1 (PS1) and / (PS7) turn ON [2] until the paper feed clutches /1 (CL3) and /2 (CL5) turn OFF [3] while in the pick-up control, CL4 and CL6 turn OFF and the pre-registration roller stops. In this way, the paper thus conveyed from the feed roller hits against the pre-registration roller and a loop is formed to correct the skew of paper. After formation of the loop, CL4 and CL6 turn ON [4] a specified period of time after a print start signal [1] is output to rotate the pre-registration roller for pre-registration. At the same time, CL3 and CL5 turn ON [5] for a short period of time to rotate the feed roller and assist the conveyance until the pre-registration roller nips the paper securely. When the 1st sheet of paper passes through PS1 and PS7 and they turn OFF [6], CL4 and CL6 also turn off to complete the pre-registration of the 1st sheet of paper. This timing becomes a starting point for the pick-up of the 2nd sheet of paper [7] and the control of the pre-registration [8].

In this manner, the horizontal conveyance roller /Lt rotates [2] to convey the paper sent out by the pre-registration roller to the horizontal conveyance roller /Rt. When the horizontal conveyance sensor /Rt (PS6) detects the leading edge of the paper and turns ON [3], the horizontal conveyance roller /Rt rotates a specified period of time after that to convey [4] the paper to the vertical conveyance section.

Paper fed from the tray 1 is also conveyed to the loop roller through the vertical conveyance section. However, the drive of this paper is made by the conveyance rollers /1 and /2 with the vertical conveyance roller having nothing to do with the conveyance drive. B. Vertical conveyance of the tray 1 paper Paper sent out from the horizontal conveyance section is conveyed to the loop roller through the upper most section of the vertical conveyance section. The vertical conveyance sensor /1 (PS25) is provided on the conveyance path to detect a jam. While in the vertical conveyance from the trays 2, 3 and 4, PS25 is also used to detect a jam. C. Vertical conveyance of the tray 2 paper When the paper feed operation turns ON [2] the paper feed sensor /2 (PS7), the vertical conveyance clutch /1 (CL11) is turned ON to transmit the drive force of the paper feed motor (M1) to the vertical conveyance roller /1. In this manner, the paper sent out by the pre-registration roller of the tray 2 is conveyed [3] to the loop roller by the vertical conveyance roller /1. When the registration sensor (PS44) detects the leading edge of the paper and turns ON [4], CL11 turns OFF a specified period of time after that to complete the vertical conveyance of the 1st sheet of paper. The conveyance [7] of the 2nd sheet and the succeeding sheets of paper is made by turning ON [6] CL11 a specified period of time after the drum ready signal [5] is sent.

18.3.1 Loop control A. Registration path When paper supplied from the trays 1 to 4 [2], LU [1], the bypass tray [14] and ADU [5] hits against the registration roller [7], a loop [12] is formed until the roller provided just in front of the registration roller on each conveyance path turns OFF. And a paper skew is adjusted by this loop. The rollers provided just in front of the registration rollers on each of the conveyance paths are as shown below: Trays 1 to 4: Loop roller [3] LU: Loop roller [3] Bypass tray: Feed roller [13] for bypass feed ADU: ADU pre-registration roller [4]
Each of these rollers is driven by the loop motor (M6) and the paper loop is controlled by the registration sensor (PS44) [6] provided just in front of M6 and the registration roller.

Theory of Operation Ver1.0 Aug.2005 B. Registration operation
A specified period of time after the print start signal [1] is sent, the loop motor (M6) turns ON to drive [2] the loop roller and the ADU pre-registration roller at a high process speed. The registration sensor (PS44) detects the leading edge of paper conveyed from each of the rollers and turns ON [3]. And a specified period of time after that, M6 turns OFF. At this time, the paper is conveyed for a specified period of time after it hits against the registration roller and a loop [4] is formed to correct the skew of the paper. When a drum ready signal [5] is generated, the registration clutch (CL1) turns ON to transmit the drive force of the registration motor (M5) to the registration roller. At the same time, M6 also turns ON. However, the process speed is the same low speed as that of the registration roller to drive each of the rollers. In this way, the registration [8] of the paper is made by the registration roller while receiving a loop assist [6] from each of the rollers. And the moment the print start signal is sent, M5 turns ON and drive the pre-transfer rollers /Up and /Lw at all times. Paper sent out from the registration roller is conveyed to the drum by these rollers. When, the registration let the loop sensor (PS36) or ADU pre-registration sensor (PS50) detect the trailing edge of paper and turns OFF [7], M6 changes the rotation from low speed to high speed to feed [9] the next paper. And when PS44 detects the trailing edge of paper and turns OFF [10], M6 and CL1 also turns OFF a specified period of time after that to complete the registration operation.

The registration operation is the same as that of "(1) While in the paper feed from the trays 1 to 4, LU and ADU." However, to comply with the paper feed of special paper, no loop assist is made. And while in the postcard mode and the thick paper mode, the process speed varies with the registration roller and the pre-transfer rollers /Up and /Lw that are driven by the registration motor (M5).

When the reverse/exit sensor (PS46) [7] detects the trailing edge of paper, the ADU reverse roller rotates in the reverse direction to send back the paper. At this time, the ADU gate is closed and the paper passes through the upper side of this gate to be conveyed to the ADU conveyance roller /1 [6]. In this way, the paper is turned over without being stacked in the ADU. The paper thus turned over is conveyed to the ADU pre-registration roller [12] by the ADU conveyance rollers /1, /2 [8], /3 [9] and /4 [10].

The heating of the fusing roller /Up is made by the fusing heater lamp/1 (L2) and /2(L3) and the heating of the fusing roller /Lw by the heater lamp/3 (L4). The surface temperature of the fusing roller /Up is detected by the thermistors /1 (TH1) [2] and /2 (TH2) [1]. Temperature of the fusing roller/Lw is not specifically detected. For TH1 of these thermistors, an NC sensor superior in the speed of detection is employed. The printer control board (PRCB) controls the fusing temperature as the DC power source/1 (DCPS1) turns L2 and L3 ON or OFF based on the surface temperature of the fusing roller/Up detected by TH1.

However, L2, L3 and L4 are not turned ON at the same time to prevent flickering. B. While in the print or while in the stand-by The setting temperature of the fusing roller /Up varies with the type of paper, its size, the print mode or other conditions. A control is made by turning on and off the fusing heater lamp /1 (L2) and /2 (L3) so that a prescribed temperature can be obtained at all times. However, L2, L3 and L4 are not turned ON at the same time to prevent flickering. C. Power save mode There are 2 modes available for the power save mode: sleep mode and low power mode. In the sleep mode, the power is not supplied to the fusing heater lamp/1 (L2), /2 (L3) and /3 (L4). In the low power mode, a control is made by turning L2, L3 and L4 ON/OFF so that the temperature is kept at a prescribed set temperature lower than that seen while in the stand-by mode. However, L2, L3 and L4 are not turned ON at the same time to prevent flickering.

While in the ADU paper exit, paper is conveyed until the trailing edge of paper passes through the reverse/exit roller. When the paper reverse sensor (PS42) [5] detects the trailing edge of paper and turns OFF, the reverse/exit roller and the ADU reverse roller rotate in reverse to send the paper back to the reverse/exit gate side. At this time, the reverse/exit gate is closed and the paper is conveyed to the paper exit conveyance roller [7] side, not to the decurler side.

25.1.1
Shading correction
This is a measure to obtain an even distribution of light of the CCD. The following corrections are made at the prescribed timing. A. White correction The output voltage of each pixel of the CCD sensor when the white reference plate is exposed to the exposure lamp (L1) is stored as the maximum output value of the pixel. B. Black correction The output voltage of each pixel of the CCD sensor when the exposure lamp (L1) is turned off is stored as the minimum output value of the pixel. C. Shading correction Based on the difference between the white data and black data for each pixel stored in the white correction and the black correction, the result of calculation that the image data read from the original falls on what step in this range is output in the 10 bits accuracy.

The AE control selects automatically a density suitable for the original density and the copy is made properly.
25. IMAGE PROCESSING 25.1.3 Area discrimination
bizhub 750/600
To make a copy of the original under the appropriate condition (to make an appropriate filter processing), check the read section to see if it is a character or a dot picture, and use the results in the image processing section at the later stage. 25.1.4 Brightness/density conversion
The signal obtained after the shading correction is a signal corresponding to the light reflected from the original, and this is normally called a brightness signal. In this brightness/density conversion section, the brightness signal of 1024 stages is converted into the density of 225 stages. 25.1.5 Filter/magnification and contraction
A. Filter processing An appropriate filter processing is made according to the type of the original and the magnification selected. Character: Make the shading of the original conspicuous. Dot section: Suppress moire. Picture: Increase the reproducibility of gradation.
B. Magnification and contraction For this machine, the magnification and contraction in the sub scan direction is made by the scan speed of the exposure unit (in the platen mode) or the conveyance speed of DF (in the DF mode), and the magnification and contraction in the main scan direction is made by processing images electrically. 25.1.6 Density gamma (conversion)
To the data obtained after the filter/magnification and contraction processing, select a density curve corresponding to the density button selected on the operation panel. An appropriate density curve is provided for each of the character/picture/character and the picture/thin character modes. 25.1.7 Tilt adjustment
Detect an uneven original skew amount for each DF original with the DF original conveyance sensor (PS306) and the original skew sensor (PS307), and adjust the skew amount detected with the sensors while shifting the image data in the image processing. 25.1.8 pressed. The memory of 256 MB is equipped as a standard. However, this can be expanded up to 512 MB by installing EM-701 optionally. 25.1.9 Storage of image data Compression
To store more image data, data is stored temporarily in the image memory after the images have been com-
The image/setting of the originals read by the scanner or the images sent from the IC can be stored as a file in the optional hard disc.

Elongation/rotation
When outputting images from the memory, elongate the compressed data to restore them to their original state. Rotate the image in the direction of 90 degrees or 180 degrees as required. 25.2.2 1dotPWM
While in the normal mode, the laser writing is made in 1bitED (2-value error diffusion). 25.2.3 Frequency conversion
Write in the memory once the data obtained after the PWM conversion, and read it in accordance with the write clock signal of the printer.

B. Operation Turning on the main power switch (SW1) supplies the AC power source to the DC power sources /1 (DCPS1) and /2 (DCPS2). In this manner, DCPS2 generates 5 VDC to supply it to the image processing board (IPB) and the printer control board (PRCB). IPB sends this DC power source to the status management control section of the system control board (SCB) to stand by for the turn-on of the power switch (SW2). And, SCB sends this DC power source to the operation board /2 (OB2) through the operation board /1 (OB1) to turn on the power source lamp. And also, when the network setting: set, inputting the AC power source allows DCPS1 to generate 12 VDC to supply it to the IPB and HD-503 (optional). DCPS that generates 5 VDC is provide with a power save mechanism so that it consumes less power while in the stand-by.
