Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how-
ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be com-
municated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

LBP3010B / LBP3010
1. Small-size, high-speed monochrome printer
This equipment has a compact body that realizes high-speed print of 16 prints/min (A4) or 14 prints/min (A4). (See MEMO.1.)
2. Reduction in standby time and energy consumption
This equipment employs on-demand fixing where the heater activates only during printing, resulting in a reduction in standby time and energy consumption on this
mode.
3. Realization of noise reduction and stable image quality
This equipment employs a belt drive method for transmitting the drive of the main motor. This enables lower noise and more stable image quality compared to the
conventional gear drive method. (See MEMO.2.)
4.Improved Usability
In this equipment, the power switch is situated at the front of the host machine, and maintenance (jam removal, replacing the cartridge) can be performed by ac-
cessing one point of the delivery tray.
MEMO
1.For this equipment, the 16 ppm model and 14 ppm model are available according to the sales area. The only difference between these models is the processing
speed.
The following is the brand name for each product.
The letter ‘B’ at the end of brand name in the following table indicates that the external color of the product is black.
The external color of the base model (without the letter ‘B’ at the end of brand name) is white.
MEMO
1. We have two types of machine; for 16ppm (prints/min) and 14ppm (prints/min).
The only difference between these two types of machine is process speed.
The following are the commodity names of products in each product type. T-1-1
2. Changing the drive method from gear to belt reduces uneven pitch due to varied rotation speed of the photosensitive drum, which realizes stable image quality.

1.5 Safety
1.5.1 Safety of Laser Light
0019-1859
LBP3100 / LBP3010B
Laser light can be extremely hazardous to the human body.
The machines laser scanning system is contained in a protective housing and external covers to prevent escape of laser light outside the machine. In other words,
the user is free of laser-related hazards as long as the machine is being used for its intended purposes.
The following warnings are given to comply with Safety Principles (EN60950).
Laserstrahlen können für den menschlichen Körper gefährlich sein. Aus diesem Grund ist das optische Lasersystem mit einem Schutzgehäuse und einer Außenab-
deckung dicht verschlossen und hat eine Struktur, die keine Laserstrahlen nach außen dringen lässt. Unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Benutzer dieses Gerät normal
