B. Basic Copying Operation
1) Set the power switch to ON (I).
(1) If the temperature of the fixing roller
is too low for copying, the indicator
of the COPY START key will glow red.
(2) When the temperature of the fixing
roller becomes high enough for copy-
ing, the indicator will glow green.
(3) The normal waiting time at room
temperature (20°C) is about 70
seconds.
2) Raise the copyboard cover, place an
original on the copyboard with the side
to be copied facing downward, and
align it with the size indication.
3) To adjust the copy density manually,
the A key indicator should be OFF; press
the key once if it is ON. Set the COPY
DENSITY cursor to suit the original.
4) Check the size of paper in the cassette.
(1) If the cassette does not have the
desired size of paper, remove it and
install a cassette with the desired
size.
5) Set the required number of copies (1 to
99) using the number keys and confirm
that the correct number appears on the
COPY NUMBER indicator.
(1) If an error was made in inputting the
number of copies, press the
CLEAR/STOP key and reset the num-
ber of copies.
6) Press the COPY START kev.
iI)
(2)
To stop a continuous copying opera-
tion, press the CLEAR/STOP key. The
copier will complete the copy in prog-
ress, then stop.
The COPY NUMBER indicator will
display the initially set copy quantity.
It is possible to switch from auto-
matic exposure control to manual
density adjustment at any time from
the start of copying to the completion
of the final copy. However, it is not
possible to switch in the other direc-
tion from manual density adjustment
to automatic.
Example:
If the copy is too dark or too faint using AE,
cancel AE and vary the copy density with
the COPY DENSITY cursor.
(3) If the PAPER OUT indicator goes ON
I (4)
(5)
during copying, the copier will stop.
Refill the cassette and press the
COPY START key. The remaining
number of copies will be made
automatically.
If the copier has a DF, place a docu-
ment (original) on the document tray.
The document will be fed automati-
cally and copying will start.
If no other operation is performed,
the copier will return to the STAN-
DARD mode approximately 2 min-
utes after it completes a copy or after
the last key operation.

The outer surface of the photosensitive
drum is a layer of organic photoconductor
(OPC). The base is an aluminum (conductive)
cylinder.

2. Electrostatic Latent Image Formation
Block
This stage consists of three steps. At the
end of the stage, the drum has a pattern of
negative electrical charges on its surface
corresponding to the dark parts of the
document image. The light areas of the
document image are represented on the
drum by an absence of charges.
The pattern of negative charges cannot
be seen by eye, hence it is called an
electrostatic latent image.
T Time (t) -
Figure 2-4
3. Step 1 Preconditioning Exposure
Figure 2-5
Before the primary corona step, light
from the preconditioning exposure lamps is
shone onto the surface of the drum (precon-
ditioning exposure). This process elimi-
nates residual charges and helps to make
the density of the copy even.
2-2 COPYAIGHT 0 1988 CANON INC
4. Step 2 Primary Corona
Figure 2-6
The primary corona (negative) applies a
uniform layer of negative charges over the
drum surface.
The drum surface potential is deter-
mined by the grid potential. The grid is _
connected to ground through a varistor,
which holds the drum potential constant at Jo
the varistor break-down voltage.
5. Step 3 Scanning Exposure
Light image
Figure 2-7
Light from the original is projected onto
the drum surface. Charges in these light
areas on the drum are neutralized by drum
photoresistive effects.

6. Step 4 Developing
Figure 2-8
As shown in Figure 2-8, the developing
unit consists of a developing cylinder (a
stationary magnet surrounded by a rotating
sleeve) and a blade made of magnetic
material. Black toner’is a single component
type consisting of a fine powder of mixed
magnetite and resin binder. The toner has
insulating properties and is charged to a
positive potential by friction with the rotat-
ing cylinder.
Color developer is a two-component
type consisting of iron powder (carrier) and
toner mixed together in a fixed ratio. The
main component of the toner is resin. The
toner is charged to a positive potential and
the iron powder to a negative potential by
friction with the rotating cylinder.
Figure 2-9 Figure 2-11
A concentrated magnetic field develops
between the magnet and the edge of the
blade. This field attracts the charged
developer.
In this step, a negative corona is applied
to the back of the copy paper, attracting the
toner from the surface of the drum to the
copy paper.
The developer is held virtually immobile
by the magnetic field, forming a curtain
along the edge of the blade. As the cylinder
rotates, this curtain skims the toner parti-
cles on its surface to a thin uniform layer.
An AC bias plus a negative DC bias are
applied simultaneously to the developing
cylinder so that the waveform of the devel-
oping bias has a larger negative excursion
than positive.
Figure 2-10
During copying toner is attracted to the
drum by the charges on the drum surface
and by repulsion due to the developing bias
(during the positive excursion), transform-
ing the latent electrostatic image into a
visible image. Excess toner particles are
attracted back to the cylinder from the drum
due to the charges on the drum surface and
the developing bias (during the negative
excursion).
The DC bias affects copy density and
fogging: As the DC bias becomes less
negative (approaches OV), the density and
degree of fogging both increase.

Figure 2-12
The copy paper is separated from the
drum by utilizing its stiffness. Thin paper,
however, is not stiff, and may wrap around
the drum instead of separating from it. To
prevent this, a positive voltage is applied to
the separation static charge eliminator,
weakening the attraction between the drum
and the copy paper. This enables the paper
to separate easily from the drum.
9. Step 7 Fixing
COPY Paper
Figure 2-l 3
In this step, the copy paper is pressed
between two heated rollers to make the
toner image permanent.
To prevent the copy paper from wrap-
ping around the roller and toner offsetting
(adhesion of toner to the roller and transfer
of the toner to the next copy), the surface
of the upper fixing roller is cleaned with the
cleaning roller.

Cleaning blade
I
Figure 2-14
This step prepares the drum surface for
the next copying operation. Any residual
toner scraped off the drum by the cleaning
blade and picked up by the toner catcher.
It is then pushed to the back by the paddle.

II. AUXILIARY PROCESSES
1. Blank Exposure
In the non-image area on the drum
between successive sheets of copy paper,
the grid bias of the primary corona is
reduced to prevent adhesion of toner. For
these areas, there is no blank exposure for
removal of the surface charges.
2. Ozone Filter
A catalytic ozone filter in the exhaust fan
prevents ozone (generated by the coronas)
from escaping to the atmosphere by con-
verting the ozone to oxygen.

B. OUTLINE OF ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
The major electrical operations of the copier are cohtrolled by the microprocessor on the
DC controller PCB. This microprocessor is programmed to read input signals from the sensors
and control panel keys, and to send commands to drive loads (motors, solenoids, lamps, and ..
other devices) in response at the necessary times.
For reference:
The microprocessor used in this copier incorporates an A/D converter enabling it to read
analog signals as well as digital signals. Signals marked by(A) in Figure 3-2 are analog signals.
Main motor M 1 is a synchronous type and runs at a speed determined by the AC line frequency.
Scanner drive motor M2 is a stepping type, and runs at a frequency determined by a crystal
controlled oscillator in the DC controller. Any variation of the AC line frequency will affect only
the main motor; this could result in compressed or elongated images.
