DP1200/1500 Semiconductor laser (2) Outline of print process This printer is a non-impact printer that uses a semiconductor laser and electrostatic print process. This printer uses an OPC (Organic Photo Conductor) for its photoconductive material. First, voltage from the main corona unit charges the drum sur- face and a latent image is formed on the drum surface using a laser beam.
Page 34
DP1200/1500 Step-7: Optical discharge (Semiconductor laser) Non-image area Before the drum rotation is stopped, the semiconductor laser is -600 radiated onto the drum to reduce the electrical resistance in the OPC layer and elimate residual charge, providing a uniform state to the drum surface for the next page to be printed.
Page 35
DP1200/1500 Start 1) Because the grid potential is at a low level, the drum poten- tial is at about –400V. (Carrier may not be attracted though the carrier is pulled towards the drum by the electrostatic force of –400V. 2) Developing bias ( –400V) is applied when the photoconduc- tor potential is switched from LOW to HIGH.
DP1200/1500 2) Remove the drum fixing plate and the photoconductor drum. [8] DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Note) Dispose the drum fixing plate which was removed. Before disassembly, be sure to disconnect the power cord for safety. The disassembly and assembly procedures are described for the fol- lowing sections: 1.
