8. LASER EXPOSURE
Laser exposure is the process of creating an invisible static charge im-
age on the PC Drum by the laser beam emitted from the Print Head
Unit. This process is controlled as follows in order to appropriately time
image printing.
In the sub-scanning direction (vertical direction)
· When the printer receives the PRINT signal, the Polygon Motor and
the Main Motor rotate and the paper is fed into the printer.
· The printing in the sub-scanning direction is started when the
Controller PWB sends the VIDEO signal to the Print Head a certain
time after the leading edge of the paper activates the Paper Sensor
(TOD signal).
· The print starting position for the 2nd line is decided by delaying the
VIDEO signal sending timing.
In the scanning direction (horizontal direction)
· The SOS Sensor is installed on the Laser Diode Control PWB to unify
the laser emission timing for each scan line.

Function
1
Toner Hopper
Contains toner.
2
Toner Agitating Screw
Agitates the toner in the Toner Hopper and sends the toner to the Toner Transport Roller.
3
Toner Transport Roller
Transports the toner to the Sleeve Roller.
4
Sleeve Roller
Turns the Resin Sleeve.
5
Resin Sleeve
Carries the toner to the PC Drum surface for development.
6
PC Drum
Exposed to laser to create an invisible image and rotates to carry the developed image to the paper surface.
7
Toner Blade
Spreads a thin, even coat of toner over the Resin Sleeve. The toner is negatively charged when passing
between this Blade and the Resin Sleeve.
8
Bias Seal
Separates toner, which has not been attracted to the PC Drum, from the Resin Sleeve and returns it back to
the Buffer Section.
