magicolor 1600W magicolor 1650EN 11. Developing section Theory of Operation Ver. 1.0 Nov. 2008 D. Color printing process (1) Operation sequence 1. The toner cartridge rack is stationary at the standby position. 2. When a print request is received from the controller, the toner cartridge rack is rotated and temporarily stopped at the K developing position. The toner cartridge rack is then rotated again to bring the Y toner cartridge to its developing position. 3. Development of Y is carried out. 4. When development of Y is completed, the toner cartridge rack is rotated to bring the M toner cartridge to its developing position. 5. Development of M is carried out. 6. Similarly, the toner cartridge rack is rotated and development of C is carried out. 7. Similarly, the toner cartridge rack is rotated and development of K is carried out. 8. When development of K is completed, the toner cartridge rack is rotated in the opposite direction and brought to a stop at the standby position. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 C M K Y Standby position Step 5 KY CM Rack is rotated Step 6 KY CM Y Development Step 7 YM KC Rack is rotated Step 8 YM KC M Development MC YK Rack is rotated + C Development CK MY Rack is rotated + K Development C M K Y Standby position A034T2C519AA COMPOSITION/ OPERATION 32
