IIMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES

PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the printer and peripherals,
make sure that the printer power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the printer and easily accessible.
3. Note that some components of the printer and the paper tray unit are
supplied with electrical voltage even if the main power switch is turned off.
4. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off
or open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified
or mechanically driven components.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while
the printer is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with
your bare hands.
HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS
1. Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes
by accident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye
drops or flush with water as first aid. Get professional medical attention.
OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS
1. The printer and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a
customer service representative who has completed the training course on
those models.
2. The NVRAM on the system control board has a lithium battery which can
explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace the NVRAM only with an identical
one. The manufacturer recommends replacing the entire NVRAM. Do not
recharge or burn this battery. Used NVRAM must be handled in accordance
with local regulations.
SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL

1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite
suddenly when exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in
accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
4. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not
put more than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or not
sealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat build-up.
LASER SAFETY
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of
laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired
in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is
replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not
repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all
chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of
the optical subsystem is required.
WARNING
Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING
WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the
procedures in the Laser Unit section. Laser beams can seriously damage
your eyes.

1. DRUM CHARGE
The charge roller gives a negative charge to the organic photoconductive
(OPC) drum. The charge remains on the surface of the drum because the OPC
layer has a high electrical resistance in the dark.
2. LASER EXPOSURE
Processed data from the computer/network is retrieved from the memory and
transferred to the drum by a laser beam, which forms an electrical latent image
on the drum surface. The amount of charge remaining as a latent image on the
drum depends on the laser beam intensity, which is controlled by the engine
board.
3. DEVELOPMENT
The magnetic developer brush on the development rollers comes in contact
with the latent image on the drum surface. Toner particles are electrostatically
attached to the areas of the drum surface where the laser reduced the negative
charge on the drum.
4. ID SENSOR
The laser forms a sensor pattern on the drum surface. The ID sensor measures
the reflectivity of the pattern. The output signal is one of the factors used for
toner supply control. Also, the ID sensor measures the reflectivity of the drum
surface. The output signal is used for charge roller voltage control.

25 January 2001
5. IMAGE TRANSFER
Paper is fed to the area between the drum surface and the transfer roller at the
proper time for aligning the print paper and the developed image on the drum
surface. Then, the transfer roller applies a high positive charge to the reverse
side of the paper. This positive charge pulls the toner particles from the drum
surface onto the paper. At the same time, the paper is electrostatically attracted
to the transfer roller.
6. PAPER SEPARATION
Paper separates from the drum as a result of the electrostatic attraction
between the paper and the transfer roller. The discharge plate helps separate
the paper from the drum.
7. CLEANING
The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum surface after the
image transfers to the paper.
8. QUENCHING
The light from the quenching lamp electrically neutralizes the charge on the
drum surface.

The LD unit [A] outputs a laser beam to the polygon mirror [B] through the
cylindrical lens [C]. The shield glass [D] prevents dust from reaching the polygon
mirror.
Each surface of the polygon mirror reflects one full main scan line. The laser beam
goes to the F-theta mirror [E], mirror [F], and BTL (barrel toroidal lens) [G]. Then
the laser beam goes to the drum through the toner shield glass [H].
The laser synchronizing detector [I] determines the starting position for the main
scan.
The speed of the polygon mirror motor is 38,000 rpm for 600 dpi.

from changing because of the temperature, the machine monitors the current
passing through the laser diode (LD). The machine adjusts the current to the laser
diode by comparing it with the reference level from the reference circuit.
This auto power control is done just after the machine is turned on and during
printing while the laser diode is active.
The laser diode power is adjusted on the production line.

2.2.3 NEW PCU DETECTION MECHANINSM

[A]
G062D206.WMF
[C]
[B]
When the PCU counter reaches 60K, the Replace PCU message is displayed.
The new PCU detect switch [A] detects when a new PCU is installed. Each PCU
has an actuator [B]. When a new PCU is installed in the machine, the actuator [B]
pushes the new PCU detect switch. The actuator is a sector gear, and this gear
engages with the drum gear [C]. When the drum rotates, the actuator is released
from the drum gear. The actuator drops away from the new PCU detect switch and
remains in this "down" position for the duration of the PCU's life.
The machine can recognize when a new PCU has been installed in the machine
because the actuator of the new PCU comes in contact with the new PCU detect
switch. Then, the machine automatically resets the PCU counter.
After the front cover and right cover are closed, the machine then performs the TD
sensor initial setting procedure automatically (for about 45 seconds). During this
time, the drum rotates and the actuator drops away from the sensor.
While the machine performs the TD sensor initial setting, the machine makes an ID
sensor pattern on the drum. This checks whether the developer has fallen into the
development unit (in other words, it checks whether the user or technician
remembered to remove the developer seal from the PCU at machine installation). If
the machine does not detect the ID sensor pattern, SC 392 is generated.
NOTE: The limit of PCU counter can be changed by the Service mode.
(SERVICE MENU ENGINE MENU 60K LIMIT)
NOTE: The PCU counter can be cleared by the following steps.
1. Press Go and + keys simultaneously to enter RESET PARTS LIFE
mode.
2. Press + or - key to enter DRUM UNIT.

G062D516.WMF
With a drum charge roller system, the voltage transferred from roller to drum varies
with the temperature and humidity around the drum charge roller. The lower the
temperature or humidity is, the higher the applied voltage required.
To compensate, the machine uses the ID sensor to measure the effects of current
environmental conditions. For this measurement, the process control parameters
are balanced so that any small change in drum potential caused by environmental
effects is reflected in a change in the amount of toner transferred to the drum.
This measurement is made immediately after the ID sensor pattern for toner
density control. Immediately after making the ID sensor pattern [A], the charge
roller voltage stays on, but the development bias goes up to 600. As a result, the
drum potential is reduced to -700V. The laser diode is not switched on, and the
drum potential is now slightly higher than the development bias, so only a very
small amount of toner transfers to the drum. The ID sensor measures the density of
this pattern [B], and the output voltage is known as Vsdp. This voltage is compared
with Vsg (read from the bare drum at the same time).
2-8
25 January 2001
If the humidity drops, the drum potential goes up (to a higher ve voltage) even if
the charge roller voltage supply stays the same (efficiency of voltage transfer is
higher with lower humidity). As a result, less toner is transferred to ID sensor
pattern [B]. If the sensor output reaches a certain point, the drum charge voltage
will be reduced.
To determine whether to change the drum charge roller voltage, the machine
compares Vsdp with Vsg.
Vsdp / Vsg > 0.95 = Reduce the magnitude of the drum charge voltage by 50 V
Vsdp / Vsg < 0.90 = Increase the magnitude of the drum charge voltage by 50 V

Because the drum charge roller [A] is always in contact with the drum, it gets dirty
easily. So, the cleaning pad [B] is also in contact with the drum charge roller all the
time to clean the surface of the drum charge roller.
The pin [C] at the rear of the cleaning pad holder touches the cam gear [D], and
this gear moves the cleaning pad from side to side. This movement improves the
cleaning.

This machine uses a negative-positive development system, in which black areas

of the latent image are at a low negative charge (about -150 50 V) and white
areas are at a high negative charge (about -900 V).
To attract negatively charged toner to the black areas of the latent image on the
drum, the high voltage supply board applies a bias of -600 volts to the development
rollers throughout the image development process. The bias is applied to the
development roller shaft [A] through the drive shaft [B].
The development bias voltage (-600 V) can be adjusted with the printer service
mode (ENGINE MENU: Developer bias).

When a toner bottle is placed in the bottle holder unit [A] and the unit is pushed in
completely, pin [B] moves against the side [C] of the PCU, and the toner shutter [D]
is pulled out to open the bottle. When the toner bottle holder lever [E] is put back in
the original position, the cap [F] on the toner bottle is pulled away and kept in place
by the chuck [G].
The toner supply mechanism transports toner from the bottle to the development
unit. The toner bottle has a spiral groove [H] that helps move toner to the
development unit.
When the bottle holder unit is pulled out to add a new toner bottle, the following
happens automatically to prevent toner from scattering.
The chuck releases the toner bottle cap into its proper position.
The toner shutter shuts to block the opening as a result of pressure from a spring.

2.4.6 TONER DENSITY CONTROL

Overview
There are four modes for controlling toner supply as shown in the following tables.
The mode can be changed within the printer service mode. The factory setting is
P+T control mode.
Basically, toner density is controlled using the standard TD sensor voltage (Vts),
toner supply reference voltage (Vref), actual TD sensor output voltage (Vt), and ID
sensor output data (Vsp/Vsg).

Toner is supplied to the development unit when Vt is higher
than the reference voltage (Vts or Vref). This mode keeps the
Vref value for use the next toner density control.
Vts is used for the first toner density control after a new PCU
has been installed, until it has been corrected with the ID
sensor output.
Vref is used after Vts has been corrected with the ID sensor
output voltage (corrected during the first toner density control
for a new PCU).

25 January 2001
Toner density sensor initial setting

The TD sensor initial setting procedure is performed automatically when the new
PCU is installed in the machine. During TD sensor initial setting, the TD sensor is
set to the TD sensor output to the value programmed in the printer service mode
(T sensor set: default: 2.3V). This value will be used as the standard reference
voltage (Vts) of the TD sensor.
Toner density measurement

Toner density in the developer is detected once every print cycle. The sensor
output voltage (Vt) during the detection cycle is compare with the standard
reference voltage (Vts) or the toner reference voltage (Vref).
Vsp/Vsg detection
The ID sensor detects the following voltages.
Vsg: The ID sensor output when checking the drum surface
Vsp: The ID sensor output when checking the ID sensor pattern
In this way, the reflectivity of both the drum surface and the pattern on the drum are
checked. This compensates for any variations in the reflectivity of the pattern on
the drum or the reflectivity of the drum surface.
The ID sensor pattern is made on the drum by charge roller and laser diode.
Vsg/Vsp is not detected every page or job; it is detected at the following times to
decide Vref.
During warming up at power on
If the machine starts warming up after a certain time has passed since
entering the energy saver mode.
Toner supply reference voltage (Vref) determination

The toner supply reference voltage (Vref) is the threshold voltage for the toner
supply determination. Vref is determined using the following data,
ID sensor output (Vsp/Vsg)
(Vts or the current Vref) - Vt
Toner supply determination

The reference voltage (Vts or Vref) is the threshold voltage for determining whether
or not to supply toner. If Vt becomes greater than the reference voltage, the
machine supplies additional toner.

Toner Supply Motor On Time Determinations

For sensor control modes 1 and 2, the toner supply motor on time is decided by the
following factors.

2-20
25 January 2001
2.4.7 TONER NEAR END/END DETECTION AND RECOVERY

The toner near end and end conditions are detected using the Vt and Vref values,
in a similar way to toner density control.
This is done in all toner supply modes except for fixed quantity 2, when toner end is
not detected.
Toner Near End Detection

If Vt is at level 6 (see the table on the previous page) five times consecutively, the
machine enters the toner near end condition and the toner end indicator starts
blinking. Then the machine supplies toner for a certain time in accordance with the
table explained in the previous section.
Toner Near End Recovery

If the machine detects Vt < (Vref or Vts) + 4S/5 twice consecutively when in one
of the following situations, the machine leaves the toner near end condition.
While in the toner recovery cycle (supplying toner on and off for 30 s - see
the previous page) after the machine has detected a toner near end condition.
During printing in the toner near end condition.
If the front cover is opened and closed for more than 10 seconds while a
toner near end condition exists.
Toner End Detection

There are two situations for entering the toner end condition.
When Vt is level 7 three times consecutively, the machine enters the toner
end condition.
When Vt+S > Vt > (Vref or Vts) + 4S/5 is detected in the toner near end
condition, then 50 prints can be made after this condition.
Toner End Recovery

If the front cover is opened and closed for 10 seconds while a toner end condition
exists and the toner bottle is replaced, the machine attempts to recover using the
same procedure as for toner near end/end detection.

[B]
[A]
G062D201.WMF
The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the image is
transferred to the paper. This model uses a counter blade system.
The cleaning blade scrapes off toner remaining on the drum. When toner builds up
in the cleaning unit, toner at the top of the pile is removed by the toner collection
coil [B].
To remove the toner and other particles that are accumulated at the edge of the
cleaning blade, the drum turns in reverse for about 5 mm at the end of every print
job.

The paper size switch detects when the tray is pushed in.
When the paper tray is pushed into the machine, the pin [A] for the lift motor
pressure shaft engages the lift motor coupling [B] and the pin [C] for the bottom
plate lift shaft in the tray engages the bottom plate pressure lever coupling [D]. The
pin [E] on the rear of the tray pushes the lock lever so that the lift motor can lift the
bottom plate pressure lever.
The lift motor turns on, and turns clockwise as viewed on the diagram. The main
pressure spring [K] pulls the bottom plate pressure lever, and this lifts the tray
bottom plate.
When the top of the stack touches the feed roller, the motor cannot pull up the
plate any more, so it pulls the actuator [G] into the lift sensor [F]. Then the lift motor
reverses a certain time (200 ms or 600 ms), depending on the paper size, to
reduce this pressure. For smaller paper, it reverses the larger amount (600 ms) to
reduce the pressure more.
2-27
25 January 2001
For A4-width paper or wider, a projection [H] on the side fence engages the
secondary pressure spring [J] through a lever [I]. Then, the secondary pressure
spring [J] applies paper feed pressure in addition to the main pressure spring [K], to
ensure that extra pressure is applied to wider paper.
When the paper tray is pulled out, the pins [A, C] disengage from the couplings [B,
D], and the bottom plate drops. To make it easier to push the tray in, the lift motor
rotates backwards 1.7 seconds to return the bottom plate pressure lever coupling
[D] to the original position.
2.6.5 PAPER END DETECTION

[A]
[B]
[C]
G062D520.WMF
If there is some paper in the paper tray, the paper stack raises the paper end feeler
[A] and the paper end sensor [B] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout
[C] in the tray bottom plate and the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with no paper in the tray, the shape of the paper
end feeler causes it to lift up.

When the tray contains paper of a small width, the paper feed pressure may
become too low when the thickness of the remaining stack of paper has decreased.
The lift motor rotates forward 400 ms after the sensor detects a certain amount of
paper remaining in the tray to increase paper feed pressure, simulating the
pressure generated by a full tray.

G062D533.WMF
There are four paper size microswitches [A] on the front right plate of the paper tray
unit. The switches are actuated by a paper size actuator [B] behind the paper size
indicator plate, which is on the front right of the tray.
Each paper size has its own actuator, with a unique combination of notches. To
determine which size has been installed, the CPU reads which microswitches the
actuator has switched off.
The CPU disables paper feed from a tray if the paper size cannot be detected. If
the paper size actuator is broken, or if there is no tray installed, the Add Paper
indicator will light.
When the paper size actuator is at the * mark, the paper tray can be set up to
accommodate one of a wider range of paper sizes by using user tools. If the paper
size for this position is changed without changing the user tool setting, a paper jam
will result.

2.6.8 SPECIAL PAPER SETTING
[B]
[A]
G062D703.WMF
When feeding thick paper and envelopes, the user must use the 2nd paper tray (if
the optional multi-purpose tray is not installed), and turn lever [A] to the right. Then,
when sliding the tray into the machine, the lever does not push the special paper
switch [B] (it stays off), and the machine detects that there is special paper in the
2nd paper tray.
When the machine detects the special paper signal, the fusing temperature and the
transfer roller current will be changed as follows.
1. Fusing temperature: Current operation temperature +10 C
2. Transfer roller current:
A3 width (11"): 14 A
B4 width (10"): 15 A
A4 width (8.5"): 17 A
A5 width (5.5"): 20 A
Note that for the by-pass tray, the fusing and transfer conditions for special paper
are also applied if the user uses thick (non-standard) mode.

Side Fences
If the tray is full of paper and it is pushed in strongly, the fences may deform or
bend. This may cause the paper to skew or the side-to-side registration to be
incorrect. To correct this, each side fence has a stopper [A] attached to it. Each
side fence can be secured with a screw [B], for customers who do not want to
change the paper size.
End Fence
As the amount of paper in the tray decreases, the bottom plate [C] lifts up gradually.
The end fence [D] is connected to the bottom plate. When the tray bottom plate
rises, the end fence moves forward and pushes the back of the paper stack to keep
it squared up.

The registration sensor [C] is used for correcting paper skew and for detecting
paper misfeeds.
The cleaning pad [D] contacts the registration roller. It removes paper dust from the
registration roller so that this dust will not transfer into the development unit through
the drum cleaning unit.
The amount of paper buckle at the registration roller to correct skew can be
adjusted with the printer service mode.

The machine uses a transfer roller [A], which touches the surface of the drum [B].
The high voltage supply board supplies a positive current to the transfer roller,
which attracts the toner from the drum onto the paper. The current depends on the
paper width, paper type, and paper feed tray.
The curvature of the drum and the antistatic plate [C] help the paper to separate
from the drum. The high voltage supply board also supplies a negative dc voltage
to the antistatic plate.

2.7.2 IMAGE TRANSFER MECHANISM

There are two transfer current levels: low transfer current level and high transfer
current level. The image transfer procedure is as follows:
1. When the CPU receives the image writing start signal, the CPU instructs the
high voltage supply board to supply +10A (low transfer current level) to the
roller. This prevents any positively charged toner on the drum surface from
transferring to the transfer roller.
2. At a certain time after the low transfer current has been supplied to the roller,
+13A (paper fed from the paper tray) is applied to the roller to transfer the
toner to the paper.
3. After the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the roller, transfer
current turns off. In multiple printing, the transfer current shifts again to the low
transfer current.
The default transfer roller current (high transfer current level) is as shown in the
following table. The transfer current can be adjusted using the printer service mode,
except for the low transfer current.

2.7.3 TRANSFER ROLLER CLEANING

If the paper size is smaller than the image, or if a paper jam occurs during printing,
toner may be transferred to the roller surface. To prevent the toner from
transferring to the back side of the printouts, the transfer roller requires cleaning
before the next printing run.
During transfer roller cleaning, the high voltage supply unit supplies a negative
cleaning current (-4 A) to the transfer roller. Any negatively charged toner on the
transfer roller is then transferred back to the drum. Then a positive cleaning current
(+10 A) is applied to the transfer roller to push back to the drum any positively
charged toner on the transfer roller.
The machine goes through the cleaning mode in the following conditions:
Before starting the printing job
Just after the power is switched on.
After a jam has been cleared
2.7.4 PAPER SEPARATION MECHANISM
[A]
G062D403.WMF
G062D401.WMF
The discharge plate [A] and the curvature of the drum help the paper to separate
away from the drum. The high voltage supply board applies a constant dc voltage, 1.8 kV (when feeding from a paper tray) or 2.1 kV (from the duplex unit) to the
discharge plate.
The discharge plate voltage can be adjusted using the printer service mode.

2.8.6 NEW FUSING UNIT DETECTION
[B]
[A]
G062D500.WMF
When the PM (fusing) counter reaches 120K, "Replace Maintenance Kit" is

displayed.
The machine detects when the new maintenance fusing unit is installed by
checking the circuit through the detector hook [A]. The detector hook is hooked on
the edge of the fusing pressure roller shaft [B]. As the pressure roller rotates, the
detector hook is released from the press roller shaft and the circuit becomes
opened. Once the detector hook is released, it will not re-engage with the shaft for
the duration of the fusing units life. Then, the machine clears the PM (fusing)
counter.
Please note that this detection is done only with the maintenance fusing unit, and
the detector hook is not installed in the fusing unit which is initially installed in the
machine.
NOTE: If the PM is done by replacing individual parts (not by replacing the fusing
unit contained in maintenance kit), make sure to reset the PM (fusing)
counter by the following steps. Otherwise the Replace Maintenance Kit
message on the LCD will not be cleared.
1. Press Go and + keys simultaneously to enter RESET PARTS LIFE

When the main power switch is turned on, the CPU turns on the fusing lamp to
maintain the fusing temperature of 180C for the first job, or for the first 11
consecutive pages of printing. After that, the machine maintains the fusing
temperature at 170C.
To prevent each end of the hot roller temperature from becoming too high, the
machine lowers the fusing temperature to 155C when it detects that paper which
is less than 216 mm width is consecutively fed.

Fusing Lamp Control

Turning on and off the fusing lamp power causes fluorescent light in the room to
flicker. To reduce the flickering, use the following printer service modes.
Fusing temperature detection cycle (Fusing period)
The CPU checks the output from the fusing thermistor once a second (default
setting). The CPU compares the current and previous temperatures. Based on the
result, it then decides how long the fusing lamp power should be on during the next
one-second interval (also, if the current temperature is too high, the power will not
be needed).
Starting and stopping the fusing lamp power every second causes fluorescent
lighting in the room to flicker. To reduce this flickering, use the printer service mode
to change the cycle from 1 second to 3 seconds.
(SERVICE MENU ENGINE MENU FUSING PERIOD)
Fusing soft-start (Fusing times)
In addition, whenever the fusing lamp power switches on, full power is applied to
the fusing lamp gradually, not all at once. This prevents the power in the room from
dropping suddenly. This feature is known as Soft Start. The machine does this by
gradually allowing more power to the fusing lamp over a number of zero-cross
cycles of the ac supply. The diagram below shows full power being applied
gradually over the duration of 3 zero-cross cycles. With the printer service mode,
this number can be set to 3, 10, or 20. Soft start occurs every time the fusing lamp
power switches on (i.e., at some time during every second), not just at the start of
the print job.
NOTE: This SP mode is effective to counter flickering lights. However, generated
noise increases if the setting is changed from the default. If a radio or a TV
is close by the machine, the noise may have some effect on the image or
sound.

2.8.8 OVERHEAT PROTECTION

If the hot roller temperature becomes higher than 231C, the CPU cuts off the
power to the fusing lamp. At the same time, SC543 is generated.
Even if the thermistor overheat protection fails, there is a thermalfuse in series with
the common ground line of the fusing lamp. If the temperature of the thermalfuse
reaches 169C, the thermalfuse opens, removing power from the fusing lamp. At
the same time, SC 542 is generated and the machine stops operating.
2.8.9 PAPER EXIT

2.2.2 PAPER FEED

Overview
The following paper feed out modes can be selected in the printer driver.
Mode
Straight feed out mode
Shifting mode
Staple mode
Description
Paper is fed out directly to the shift tray without shifting and/or
stapling.
Sets of papers are shifted then fed to the shift tray.
Sets of papers are shifted, stapled and then fed to the shift tray.
Straight feed out mode

When HL-3260N starts printing, the stack height detection lever moves to detect
the current stack height and adjusts the position of the tray if the stack height is not
in the target position.

When the paper exit sensor of HL-3260N turns on, the main motor for the finisher
starts rotating, driving the paper exit unit gear [A] through idle gear [B]. The paper
exit unit [C] is pushed down by the paper exit link [D], which is driven by the paper
exit unit gear.
When there is no exit unit gear thread facing the idle gear, gear rotation stops. This
position is maintained by the solenoid lever [E].
The movements of exit roller drive gear [F] and paper exit guide [G] are linked with
the movement of the paper exit link. When the paper exit unit is lowered, the exit
roller drive gear comes in contact with the paper exit roller [H] and the paper exit
guide is lowered to bring the paper in contact with the paper exit roller.
FS5050-8
25 January 2001
After paper exiting is complete, the stack height is detected again and the tray is
adjusted to the target zone. Stack height detection is done page-by-page.
When the last page is fed out, the paper exit unit solenoid turns on to restart the
unit gear rotation. This rotation causes the paper exit unit to rise. Then, the main
motor stops rotating the unit gear and the solenoid turns off.

The jogger fence [A] shifts the paper sideways to the end fence of the jogger tray
[B]. The jogger motor [C] drives the jogger fence, returning it to its home position.
The home position sensor [D] detects when the jogger fence has returned to the
home position after shifting.
All pages of a set are fed out together with the first page of the next set fed out in
straight feed out mode.
If shifting mode is applied to the last set, the paper exit unit is pushed down and the
last set is fed out.

After shifting all pages of a set, the paper exit link lever [A] pushes the paper exit
unit [B] down until the knob of the exit unit [C] pushes the link lever [D] for the exit
unit switch [E]. This turns on the exit unit switch. While turning on this switch, a DC
current is supplied to the stapler unit [F] and the main motor is turned off.
After stapling the set, the paper exit unit is pushed down again until the unit comes
into contact with the paper exit roller [G] and the set of stapled paper is fed out.

The junction gate [B] directs any paper reaching the bridge unit to either the upper
tray (on top of the bridge unit) or to the finisher, depending on which has been
selected.
If the junction gate solenoid [A] has been activated, the junction gate [B] points
downward and directs the paper to the upper tray [D] (dotted line path in
illustration).
When the solenoid is off, the junction gate points upward and the paper is fed out
to the finisher [C] by the transport and exit rollers (solid line).

2.1 BASIC OPERATION
[A]
[B]
G518D104.WMF
G518D105.WMF
The mailbox is connected to the main unit by a 10-pin connector.

When the leading edge of the paper activates the exit sensor on the interchange
unit, the mailbox main motor turns on and the mailbox rollers begin to turn. The
paper is then fed out to the tray that has been selected.
Solenoids [B] open and close junction gates as shown to direct the paper to the
selected tray. When the top tray (tray 4) is selected, none of the solenoids are
activated. As the last sheet is fed out, it turns off the vertical transport sensor, and
both the mailbox motor and the junction gate solenoid of the selected bin turn off.
Options
The mailbox normally feeds paper at 121 mm/s. For HL-3260N, this is about equal
to the speed of the printer itself (actual transport speeds are: 121.6 mm/s and
120.6 mm/s, respectively).
MX5000-5
8 February 2001
2.2 PAPER OVERFLOW DETECTION

2.2.1 OVERVIEW
Overflow sensors are installed in each tray. They monitor the trays so that the
amount of paper present does not exceed the tray capacity. If a printing job is done
that exceeds the capacity of one or more of the trays, HL-3260N recognizes the
overload, displays an error message and stops the print job. However, if the excess
paper is removed from the overloaded tray, the print job will continue.
2.2.2 DETECTION TIMING

Between Sheets

Paper
Length
Paper
Length
Paper
Length

G518D107.WMF
When the sensor output is high for longer than T (calculated by the equation below),
the machine determines that the tray is full.
The detection timing for a full tray is calculated by the equation below for each
paper size. For example, with a minimum print speed of 12 ppm (for A3), the value
of T would be 15 seconds. Therefore, if the sensor continuously detects paper for
15 or more seconds (as it would if the tray were actually full and a given sheet of
paper was stopped at the sensor), HL-3260N stops the copy job, assuming that the
tray is full. The value of T will be different for each paper size, since the print speed
will vary with paper size.
T (seconds) = (60/min. PPM) x 3
* PPM = prints per minute.

J1 Timing: After the leading edge of the paper activates the exit sensor of the
interchange unit, a misfeed is detected if this sensor does not turn off
within X + 0.52 s, where X is equal to the amount of time a given paper
size takes to pass the sensor (e.g. A4 sideways = 1.74 s).
J2 Timing: After the paper exit sensor of the interchange unit is activated, the
machine determines that the paper has not yet fed and detects a misfeed
if the vertical transport sensor does not activate within 1.94 s (in the case
of A4 paper).
J3 Timing: After the vertical transport sensor is activated, a misfeed is detected if
this sensor does not turn off within X + 0.52 s (see above for an
explanation of X). For example, this value would be 2.26 s for A4
sideways.

When paper is fed into duplex unit:

As soon as the paper is fed from the interchange unit, it is sent to the inverter
section [C] (the inverter gate solenoid [A] remains off during this process).
The inverter section can hold a sheet of paper up to A3 size or two sheets of paper
A4 size or less.
Inversion and Exit:

Shortly after the trailing edge of the paper passes the entrance sensor [G], the
inverter gate solenoid [A] switches on and the inverter gate [B] switches over to
direct the paper to the exit path [E]. The inverter roller [D] then changes its rotation
direction and the paper goes to the exit transport area [F]. The paper is then sent to
the registration rollers in HL-3260N by the transport rollers.

2 DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS
2.1 BASIC OPERATION
[A]
[B]
[C]
A899D503.WMF
The multi-purpose tray unit uses a friction pad paper feed mechanism. The
transport roller gear in the main printer drives the gear on the paper feed clutch [B]
through a series of gears.
Options
When paper is placed in the tray, the paper end sensor [C] switches off. When the
Start button is pressed, the paper feed clutch [B] is activated and the paper feed
roller [A] feeds the paper one sheet at a time.
MP5000-3
6 February 2001
2.2 PAPER SIZE DETECTION
[A]
[B]
A899D504.WMF
The paper size sensor board [B] monitors the paper width. The rear side fence [A]
is connected to the terminal plate. The pattern for each paper width is unique.
Therefore, the HL-3260N determines which paper has been placed in the multipurpose tray by the signal output from the board. However, the HL-3260N will not
determine the paper length from the multi-purpose tray hardware (refer to Original
Size Detection in the HL-3260N manual for details on how paper length is
determined).

2. DETAILED SECTION DESCRIPTIONS

2.1 PAPER FEED
[B]
[A]
[C]
G539D104.WMF
This products uses an Feeder Reverse Roller type paper feed mechanism.
The paper feed unit consists of the pickup roller [A], paper feed roller [B], reverse
roller [C], and grip and transport rollers.
Options
There is a torque limiter in the back of the reverse roller (ferrite powder type).

[C]

[A]
[B]
G539D107.WMF
[E]
[A]
[D]
G539D108.WMF
To prevent the paper from being torn when pulling out the paper feed tray, the
reverse and pickup rollers are constructed so that they release automatically.
When the paper tray [A] is not inside the machine, the reverse roller [B] is away
from the paper feed roller [C] and the pick-up roller [D] stays in the upper position.
When the paper tray is set into the machine, it pushes the release lever [E]. This
causes the pick-up roller [D] to go down into contact with the top sheet of paper
and the reverse roller [B] to move up and contact the paper feed roller.

2.3 TRAY LIFT
[F]
[G]
[A]
[B]
[D]
[E]
G539D110.WMF
[C]
When the paper feed tray is put in the machine, the tray switch [A] on the back face
turns on and the tray lift motor [B] starts up. The base plate lift shaft [C] is coupled
to the lift motor by shaft [D], so the base plate of the tray is lifted. After a short while,
the top of the paper stack contacts the pick-up roller and lifts it up.
When this occurs, the actuator enters the upper limit sensor, the sensor turns off
and the lift motor stops. When paper in the tray is used up, the pick-up roller is
gradually lowered, and the actuator leaves the upper limit sensor (turning the
sensor on). When this happens, the lift motor begins turning again. The tray will
then be lifted until the actuator enters the upper limit sensor (turning the sensor off
again).
Options
When the tray is removed from the copier, the coupling between the lift motor [B]
and base plate lift shaft [C] is broken and the base plate goes into a controlled free
fall (using a damper [E] to slow the fall and prevent damage).
LT5200-7
26 January 2001
2.4 NEAR END/END DETECTION

This tray can hold two stacks of paper, so the machine needs to monitor the status
of both these stacks. There are seven sensors to do this.
In the right tray (paper feed side), three height sensors measure the height of the
stack, and an end sensor detects when all the paper is used up. As the amount of
paper remaining in the tray decreases, the base plate rises and the actuator
activates the paper height sensors. When the paper runs out in the right tray, the
stack in the left tray is moved across to the right tray.
There are also two height sensors ([F] in the diagram on the previous page) and an
end sensor in the left tray (paper storage side) ([G] in the diagram on the previous
page). When there is no paper in both trays, paper end is detected.
The machine determines the amount of remaining paper based on the sensor
outputs. The following table shows all possible paper fill conditions in the tray.

[B]
[C]
[A]
[D]
[E]
[F]
[G]
[H]
G539D109.WMF
When the paper in the right tray is used up, the side fence solenoid [F] activates
and stays on until the side fence open/closed sensor [E] detects that the fence is
open. The rear fence [A] then moves the stack of paper from the left tray into the
right tray, as described in the following section. When the stack has been
transferred to the right tray, the rear fence return sensor [G] detects the rear fence
and then turns off the side fence open solenoid (closing the side fence).
The side fence open/closed sensor [D] detects when the side fence is closed.
When it is not closed, the user is prompted by a message on the HL-3260N LCD
display to free the mechanism.
2.6 LEFT TRAY REAR FENCE

If the right tray paper end sensor detects that there is no paper in the tray (while
the left tray sensor detects that there is still paper in the left tray), the right side
fence [C] opens and the rear fence motor [H] turns on. The rear fence of the left
tray moves and the paper stack is then transferred from the left tray to the right tray.
When the left tray rear fence activates the rear fence return sensor, the machine
detects that the paper stack has been transferred to the right tray and the rear
fence motor rotates in the opposite direction. When the rear fence HP sensor [B]
comes on, the motor stops.

The paper end sensor [A] detects when paper in the right tray runs out.
When there is paper in the tray, the paper pushes up the paper end feeler [B] and
causes the actuator to come between the LED and photo diode of the sensor.
When paper runs out, the feeler drops and the actuator leaves the photointerruptor,
and the machine detects that there is no paper in the tray.
Options
When the tray is being pulled out, the lever [E] lifts the pick-up roller and this also
lifts up the feeler arm.

2.1 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION MECHANISM
[A]
[B]
[C]
G532D104.WMF
The paper tray holds 500 sheets. The paper feed roller [A] drives the top sheet of
paper from the paper tray to the HL-3260N. The friction pad [B] allows only one
sheet to feed at a time. The friction pad applies pressure to the feed roller with a
spring [C].

The paper size switch detects when the tray is pushed in.
When the paper tray is pushed into the machine, the pin [A] for the lift motor
pressure shaft engages the lift motor coupling [B] and the pin [C] for the bottom
plate lift shaft in the tray engages the bottom plate pressure lever coupling [D]. The
pin [E] on the rear of the tray pushes the lock lever so that the lift motor can lift the
bottom plate pressure lever.
The lift motor turns on, and turns clockwise as viewed on the diagram. The main
pressure spring [K] pulls the bottom plate pressure lever, this lifts the tray bottom
plate.
The pressure of the feed roller on the paper is now too high, so the lift motor
reverses to reduce this pressure. It reverses for 300 ms or 600 ms, depending on
the paper size. For smaller paper, it reverses the larger amount (600 ms) to reduce
the pressure more.
LT5100-7
Options
When the top of the stack touches the feed roller, the motor cannot pull up the
plate any more, so it pulls the actuator [G] into the lift sensor [F].
25 January 2001
For A4-width paper or wider, a projection [H] on the side fence engages the
secondary pressure spring [J] through a lever [I]. Then, the secondary pressure
spring [J] applies paper feed pressure in addition to the main pressure spring [K], to
ensure that extra pressure is applied to wider paper.
When the paper tray is pulled out, the pins [A, C] disengage from the couplings [B,
D], and the bottom plate drops. To make it easier to push the tray in, the lift motor
rotates backwards for 1.7 seconds to return the bottom plate pressure lever
coupling [D] to the original position.
2.3 PAPER END DETECTION

[A]
[B]
[C]
G532D105.WMF
If there is some paper in the paper tray, the paper stack raises the paper end feeler
[A] and the paper end sensor [B] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout
[C] in the tray bottom plate and the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with no paper in the tray, the shape of the paper
end feeler causes it to lift up.

2.4 PAPER HEIGHT DETECTION
[B]
[A]
[C]
[C]
G532D107.WMF
The amount of paper in the tray is detected by the combination of on/off signals
from two paper height sensors [A] and [B].
When the amount of paper decreases, the bottom plate pressure lever [C] moves
the actuator up.
The following combination of sensor signals is sent to HL-3260N.
When the tray contains paper of a small width, the paper feed pressure may
become too low when the thickness of the remaining stack of paper has decreased.
The lift motor rotates forward 300 ms after the sensor detects a certain amount of
paper remaining in the tray to increase paper feed pressure, simulating the
pressure generated by a full tray.

G532D108.WMF
There are four paper size microswitches [A] on the front right plate of the paper tray
unit. The switches are actuated by a paper size actuator [B] behind the paper size
indicator plate, which is on the front right of the tray.
Each paper size has its own actuator, with a unique combination of notches. To
determine which size has been installed, HL-3260N reads which microswitches the
actuator has switched off.
HL-3260N disables paper feed from a tray if the paper size cannot be detected. If
the paper size actuator is broken, or if there is no tray installed, the Add Paper
indicator will light.
When the paper size actuator is at the * mark, the paper tray can be set up to
accommodate one of a wider range of paper sizes by using user tools. If the paper
size for this position is changed without changing the user tool setting, a paper jam
will result.

Side Fences
Options
If the tray is full of paper and it is pushed in strongly, the fences may deform or
bend. This may cause the paper to skew or the side-to-side registration to be
incorrect. To correct this, each side fence has a stopper [A] attached to it. Each
side fence can be secured with a screw [B], for customers who do not want to
change the paper size.
End Fence
As the amount of paper in the tray decreases, the bottom plate [C] lifts up gradually.
The end fence [D] is connected to the bottom plate. When the tray bottom plate
rises, the end fence moves forward and pushes the back of the paper stack to keep
it square in the tray.
