Acceptable media includes envelopes, transparencies, and cut sheets of paper. The size of the printed image when the tray is used is set by the host or from the control panel. Figure 1-5 shows the paper path when printing from the front paper tray. When a print command is received and the tray is selected, the DC control board starts the feed sequence. As the pickup roller ! turns, it causes the paper elevator bar " to lift the paper stack up to the pickup roller. The pickup roller pushes the top sheet of paper across the separation pad # into the large and small diameter feed rollers $. The separation pad prevents multiple paper feeds. Figure 1-5 Tray Paper Path The large and small diameter feed rollers direct the sheet between the OPC drum % and the transfer ( rollers. The toner image is transferred to the sheet by the charge on the transfer roller. The sheet is directed between the rollers of the fixing unit & where heat melts and liquefies the toner and pressure forces the toner into the sheet. 1-10 Physical and Functional Description 1.3 Media Feeders and Paper Paths From the fixing unit, the paper is directed to the faceup stack or around the bend to the delivery rollers '. The delivery rollers push the paper into the facedown stack. 1.3.2 Optional Cassette Paper Path The optional cassette feeder mounts underneath the printer and holds the drawer-style cassette. The cassette holds up to 250 sheets of paper or 20 envelopes. The paper size and cassette type are fixed and cannot be altered. Figure 1-6 shows the paper path when feeding from the cassette. When a print command is received and the cassette is selected, the DC control board starts the feed sequence. The cassette pickup roller ! turns, pushing the top sheet of paper into the cassette feed rollers ". The cassette feed rollers push the sheet up into the feed rollers # in the printer. Figure 1-6 Cassette Paper Path The feed and the stationary pickup rollers $ direct the sheet into the paper path, as shown in Figure 1-5. 1.3.3 Cassette Size Sensing When a cassette is installed, its molded keys engage the size-sensing switch in the feeder.

Figure 1-12 LVPSA Block Diagram The LVPSA consists of the following major components: · DC regulators that supply 12-Vdc and 5-Vdc power · High-current 24-Vdc regulator that drives the main motor · Interlock door switches that are actuated by the door rod assembly and open as the front door opens · AC controller that connects to and distributes line power · CB101 reset circuit breaker · Fixing roller heater drive circuit · Fuse (F1) is inside the LVPSA and not accessible The fixing roller heater drive controls the current for the fixing heater. The signal ------------------------------------------------------------ F S R DR V is generated on the DC control board. See Section 1.10 for more information about the fixing roller heater drive. 1-22 Physical and Functional Description 1.10 Fixing Heater Control Circuit 1.10 Fixing Heater Control Circuit The fixing unit heater is maintained at a temperature of 120°C (248°F) in the standby mode. When a print command is received, the temperature is raised to the 150°C (302°F) operating temperature. Figure 1-13 shows an overall diagram of the fixing unit control circuits. Figure 1-13 Fixing Heater Diagram The signal F S R T H is an analog signal that increases with the temperature of the fixing roller. Heat from the upper roller increases the resistance of the thermistor (TH1) which increases the voltage of F S R T H . The DC control board measures F S R T H and outputs the control signal ------------------------------------------------------------ F S R DR V to the fixing roller heater driver circuit in the LVPSA. A solid state relay (SSR) is used to turn the fixing heater current on and off. Physical and Functional Description 1-23 1.10 Fixing Heater Control Circuit The TP1 and TP2 thermoswitches are mounted above the heat roller and are in series with the heater element. If the temperature of the heat roller goes too high, one or both of the thermoswitches will open. When the fixing temperature cools, TP1 and TP2 should close. A capacitor (not shown in Figure 1-13) on the DC control board keeps the error message on the display and the fixing current off until the printer power has been off for longer than 3 minutes. The 50 SERVICE message is displayed if the fixing temperature: · Fails to reach 50°C (122°F) within 40 seconds after power on. · Fails to reach 100°C (212°F) within 40 seconds after reaching 50°C. · Fails to reach 120°C (248°F) within 30 seconds after reaching 100°C. · Fails to reach 140°C (284°F) within 30 seconds of receiving a print signal. · If the temperature rises above 185°C (365°F). · If the temperature drops below 90°C (194°F). 1-24 Physical and Functional Description 1.11 HVPSA Density Circuits 1.11 HVPSA Density Circuits The HVPSA and density adjustment assemblies are replaced as FRUs. There are no internal field adjustments. 1.11.1 Density Adjustment The density adjustment lets the user choose lighter or darker printing. The default shown in Figure 1-14 is the recommended normal position for the sliding adjuster. Figure 1-14 Density Adjustment As shown in Figure 1-15, VR701 is the density adjustment potentiometer. As VR701 is adjusted from dark to light, the VR signal varies from approximately 0-8 Vdc. VR varies the primary and development dc bias voltages which varies the quantity of toner on the drum and on the sheet. · The darkest setting makes printed text dark, reduces background staining, and uses up the toner supply at a faster rate. · The lightest setting makes the text lighter and increases background staining. The increased staining is imperceptible on flat cut sheets, but is more noticeable when printing envelopes. See Section 8.16 for additional information. Physical and Functional Description 1-25 1.11 HVPSA Density Circuits 1.11.2 HVPSA Circuits Figure 1-15 gives signal names, connector numbers, and shows the circuitry that drives and loads the HVPSA. Figure 1-15 HVPSA Image Circuits The HVPSA is operated by the DC control board. The primary and development high-voltage power supplies connect to the EP-L cartridge by flat spring contacts. The transfer supply connects to the transfer roller in the front door assembly by a coil spring contact that you can see when the front door is open. The HV door switch shorts the supply to ground when the front door is opened. The flat and coil springs are chrome plated and require no maintenance. Use a soft brush to clean away dust or paper chips, but avoid using commercially available liquid or aerosol contact cleaners. Do not attempt to scrape clean, bend back, or repair damaged contacts. 1-26 Physical and Functional Description 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ DEClaser 1100 Printer Control Panel This chapter describes the operational modes, keys, and indicators of the DEClaser 1100 printer. 2.1 Control Panel Modes The DEClaser 1100 printer runs in either the online Ready or offline Ready mode of operation.

The main menu choices for the DEClaser 1152 printer are as follows: INTERFACE PS PCL SETUP PAPER HANDLING MISCELLANEOUS Table 3-3, Table 3-8, Table 3-10, and Table 3-11 show the features and values for these main menu choices. 3.3.1 Interface Selection This feature selects the interface(s) used to communicate with the host computer(s). Multiple simultaneous active interfaces are a feature of PostScript level 2. For example, the Centronics interface and a serial interface can be active at the same time. If a serial line is connected and active when the interpreter switches to PCL4, the following occurs: · The protocol switches from ``normal'' to ``raw''. · The flow control changes to ``receive xon/xoff'' if the previous mode was xon/xoff. If a serial line is connected and active when the interpreter switches to PostScript, the following occurs: · The protocol switches from ``raw'' to ``normal''. · The flow control changes to ``xon/xoff'' if the previous mode was receive xon/xoff. 3.3.2 INTERFACE Menu The DEClaser 1152 printer supports parallel, serial, and LocalTalk interface connections. The interfaces of the printer must match the interfaces used by the host computers. In Table 3-3, default values are shown in uppercase in the ``Values'' column. DEClaser 1152 Printer Control Panel 3-5 3.3 Menu Descriptions Although the SERIAL menu item and the SERIALB menu item share the same parameters and values, they are separate interfaces.

Table 3-4 I/F: SERIAL (I/F: SERIALB) Menu ------------------------------------------------------------ Feature Values Description ------------------------------------------------------------ SER: ENABLED Determines whether data arriving on the serial interface port should be considered as a job to be scheduled for execution. ENA: YES Data to the serial port is accepted as a job. ENA: no Data to the serial port is not scheduled for interpretation, but an interpreter may be able to read the port as PostScript data. SER: INTERPRETER Determines the type of executable job the arriving data represents. INT: POSTSCRIPT The serial port is set to recognize a PostScript file. INT: pcl4 The serial port is set to recognize a PCL file. SER: PROTOCOL The communications rules that are available on the printer. PRO: NORMAL Certain control characters have special meanings and indicate something about the job being received. ``Normal'' is used only with the PostScript interpreter. PRO: raw Everything received by the device driver is data to be passed on, unchanged, to the printer emulator. ``Raw'' is used only by the PCL4 emulator, not by the PostScript interpreter. PRO: binary The full range of 8-bit data can be sent. Emulators and the PostScript interpreter can use this mode. Note: It is recommended to not use ``binary'' unless an Adobe Print Driver is being used. Refer to the Adobe Binary Communications Protocol, Technical Note #5081, (May 4, 1991).

SER: PARITY A part of the data format the printer uses to communicate with the host computer. The printer looks for the type of parity checking bit in each character. A system can use an odd, even, space, mark, or no parity checking, or may elect to use no checking. The selected settings will only be enforced if CHECKPARITY is set to YES. PARITY: NO No parity bit is sent. This setting is valid only with 8 data bits. PARITY: odd Each character received is checked for odd parity; each character transmitted will have an odd number of bits (odd parity). This setting is valid only with the following combinations: 7 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. PARITY: even Each character received is checked for even parity; each character transmitted will have an even number of bits (even parity). This setting is valid only with the following combinations: 7 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. PARITY: space Always sends a 0 in the parity bit.

I/F: SERIAL (I/F: SERIALB) Menu ------------------------------------------------------------ Feature Values Description ------------------------------------------------------------ SER: FLOW CONTROL FLOW: XON/XOFF Uses software to control the flow of data to the input buffer of the printer. It is sometimes referred to as software handshaking protocol, a method the printer and the host computer use to exchange xon /xoff signals. These signals prevent the input buffer from overflowing with data. If the input buffer becomes full and handshaking is not enabled, the overflowing data will be lost. Xon/xoff must be enabled in systems that use this software handshaking protocol to prevent the loss of data. FLOW: dtr Uses hardware to regulate the flow of data to the input buffer of the printer. The printer transmits a signal to the DTR line of the serial port when it is ready to receive data. This is sometimes referred to as the hardware handshaking protocol. FLOW: etx/ack This feature is another type of handshaking protocol that is used on some systems to prevent data overflow. It uses software to regulate the flow of data to the input buffer by exchanging signals with the host computer. Note: The end of text/acknowledge feature is not supported on Digital systems. Use xon /xoff or DTR if you have a Digital system. SER: DATA BITS The number of data bits the printer expects to see in each character it receives. DATA BITS: EIGHT The printer is set to receive and transmit characters composed of eight bits. This setting is valid with 1 or 2 stop bits and no parity. DATA BITS: seven The printer is set to receive and transmit characters composed of seven bits. This setting is valid with 1 or 2 stop bits and even or odd parity. SER: STOP BITS Specifies the number of stop bits. Some systems use one stop bit while other systems require two.

Beam detection errors are immediately detectable, but image defects may go unnoticed and show up later as a problem. Replace any component that you suspect is damaged. The following types of damage can occur to the optical components: · Mechanical damage is caused by dropping or other forms of rough handling or by misadjustment of the mirrors or lenses in the optical cavity. · Contamination damage of the mirrors or lenses is caused by the biological oils and acids found in fingerprints. Some mirrored surfaces are affected more than others. The oils cause a decrease in beam intensity. The acids can etch, stain, and over time deteriorate the surface of a mirror or lens. · Electrical damage is caused when static electricity discharges through sensitive electronic components. Always use the antistatic equipment. Warning: Use of controls or adjustment procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser light exposure to yourself or to other persons in the room. The safety information presented in Safety Warnings only applies while the scanner cover is fully installed.

Removal and Replacement Procedures and RSL 10-25 10.12 Handling the Optical Components Table 10-1 Optical Cavity ------------------------------------------------------------ Component Description ------------------------------------------------------------ ! Scan lens The scan lens adjusts the scan to assure correct linearity of the beam on the surface of the drum. " Scanning assembly The high-speed mirror causes the laser light to scan through the scan lens. # Laser assembly Generates an invisible beam of infrared light and focuses the light onto the surface of the scanning mirror. $ Beam start mirror The beam is reflected into the beam detect lens by the beam start mirror. Slight adjustment of this assembly causes a large shift of the side-to-side registration, or causes beam detect errors. For additional information about beam detect errors, see the SERVICE 51 entry in Table 6-5. Warning: Do not remove or adjust the beam start mirror while in the field. % Beam detect lens and fiber optic connector The lens focuses the beam into the fiber optic cable. The detector on the DC control board converts the light into the BD signal. The BD signal causes the printer to feed paper and send data. ------------------------------------------------------------ 10-26 Removal and Replacement Procedures and RSL 10.12 Handling the Optical Components Figure 10-1 Optical Cavity Components 006065s Removal and Replacement Procedures and RSL 10-27 10.12 Handling the Optical Components 10.12.1 Laser Assembly Figure 10-2 shows the laser assembly: · ! is the laser diode housing. · " is the lens housing.

Table 2-3 and Section 2.10 provide a brief description of the macro feature. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Reset ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ to invoke the macro number. The macro feature allows you to select an environment for local compatibility. It assigns the proper user preference character set, enables/disables the initialization message, and specifies the return response (device identification) when a Device Attributes (DA) request is received. The macro feature is slightly different from other menu features because three parameters (user preference character set, initialization message, and device ID) are added together to determine the macro value. The user preference, initialization message, and device ID values cannot be selected independently; they must be added together to form the macro value. The macro feature allows you to choose the user preference character set appropriate for your application or system. Consult the Digital ANSI- Compliant Printing Protocol Level 3 Programming Reference Manual for more information about the user preference sets. Table A-2 lists the user preference character sets and their values.

This feature is designed for use with future applications and should be set to disable at this time. Consult the Digital ANSI-compliant Printing Protocol level 3 Programming Supplement for additional information about this feature. Table A-3 Initialization Message ------------------------------------------------------------ Initialization Message Value ------------------------------------------------------------ Disabled 00 1 Enabled 05 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Factory default setting ------------------------------------------------------------ The DEClaser 1100 printer can identify itself as a Digital ANSI-compliant level 3 (DEC PPL3) printer, and therefore can be recognized as such by symbiont and terminal drivers that conform to the Digital ANSI-compliant architecture. This identification is also compatible with level 2 devices, since all level 2 sequences are also supported. You can also select an LN03 identification for applications that require the printer to identify itself as an LN03 printer. For example, the DECmate word processing system requires an LN03 device identification. The device identification values are shown in Table A-4.

B.1 Print Media The types of print media described in this section are paper, labels, transparencies, and envelopes. For additional information about print media, consult the Digital Laser Printers Guide to Paper and Other Media, available from DECdirect. B.1.1 Paper Handling and Storage Even if the customer is using paper that meets all specifications, improper handling and storage can alter paper quality and printer performance. Paper jams, misfeeding, and image defects are directly traceable to the mishandling and improper storage of paper. Paper Handling Be aware of the following considerations when handling paper: · Load the cassette to its proper capacity rather than adding small amounts at a time. · When you unwrap a new package of paper, discard the top and bottom sheets, as they tend to absorb more humidity from the surrounding environment. · Load the paper with the top side up in the cassette. On most paper packages, an arrow indicates the top side of the paper. DEClaser 1100 Series Printers Specifications B-1 B.1 Print Media Paper Storage Be aware of the following considerations when storing paper: · Do not unwrap paper until you are ready to load the cassette. The wrapping protects the paper against humidity. · Do not store paper directly on the floor because floors are generally very damp. · Lay paper on a flat surface to prevent in-ream paper curl. B.1.2 Available Standard Size Cassettes Table B-1 lists cassettes that are available for use in the DEClaser 1100 series printers. Table B-1 Available Cassettes ------------------------------------------------------------ Paper Size Dimensions ------------------------------------------------------------ A4 8.27 in x 11.69 in (210 mm x 297 mm) Executive 7.25 in x 10.5 in (184.1 mm x 266.7 mm) Letter 8.5 in x 11.0 in (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) Legal 8.5 in x 14.0 in (215.9 mm x 355.6 mm) Envelopes Envelope size is variable.

The coating can come off and contaminate the fixing unit rollers. · Do not use thermal papers. · Do not use carbon papers. Caution: Print test samples of the paper before you use it for the first time. This is particularly important when using chemically treated or coated paper, such as printed forms or colored paper. The inks and pigments used on these papers must also be able to withstand the high heat and pressure of the fixing unit. Consider also the heat limitations of transparencies and of the glues used on envelopes and labels. B.1.3 Envelopes Envelopes must meet the same specifications as the paper listed in Table B-2. Do not use the following types of envelopes with the printer: · Envelopes with sealing flaps that are open · Envelopes with sealing flaps at the leading or trailing edges · Envelopes with three or more layers of paper at the leading and trailing edges · Envelopes that have windows · Envelopes that have clasps, snaps, or strings Special Considerations When Printing on Envelopes Observe the following considerations when printing on envelopes: · Use the front output (faceup) tray. · Do not load more than five envelopes in the paper tray. · Envelopes can be printed only on the front side. · Printing in the 15 mm (3/5 in) border around the envelope causes print quality problems with some envelopes. DEClaser 1100 Series Printers Specifications B-3 B.1 Print Media B.1.4 Transparencies Table B-3 contains information on the sizes of transparencies that can be used in the DEClaser 1100 printers. Table B-3 Transparency Sizes ------------------------------------------------------------ Size Dimensions ------------------------------------------------------------ A4 210 mm x 297 mm (8.26 in x 11.69 in) Letter 215 mm x 279.4 mm (8.5 in x 11.0 in) ------------------------------------------------------------ Table B-4 lists the specifications of transparencies that can be used with the DEClaser 1100 printers.

B-4 DEClaser 1100 Series Printers Specifications B.2 Labels B.2 Labels A label consists of a face sheet, an adhesive sheet, and a carrier sheet. The face sheet (or printing surface) is usually composed of photocopying paper and should meet the same specifications for paper, as described in Table B-1. The carrier sheet and adhesive used for the labels must also be able to meet the heat tolerance specification of 150°C (302°F) for at least 0.1 second. Do not expose the adhesive on the labels. Doing so could cause damage to the printer. An easy way to test for adhesive that may be exposed is to press a plain piece of paper on top of the sheet of labels. If the paper does not stick to the labels, they are acceptable to use. Special Considerations When Printing on Labels Observe the following considerations when printing on labels: · Feed labels from the paper tray. · Be sure that the carrier sheet is not exposed. · Be sure that no adhesive is exposed. · Use the front faceup stacking tray.

Always repair the printer first and then perform the TCC procedure. C.2 Maintenance Log You must keep an accurate maintenance history to ensure the long life and reliability of the DEClaser 1100 printers. When you first arrive at the site, review the maintenance log for information that can assist you to troubleshoot and repair the malfunctioning printer. After you fix the problem, record your activity in the maintenance log for the benefit of the next service person. The part number of the DEClaser 1100 Printer Maintenance Log pad is EN-02022-12. A special adhesive-backed pouch is available for storing the maintenance log at the customer 's site. The order number for the pouch is 36-18307-04. Attach the pouch to the side cover or underneath the printer. C.3 Preventive Maintenance Procedure The DEClaser 1100 and 1150 printers do not have a page counter, so time in service is used to estimate the preventive maintenance (PM) interval. The DEClaser 1152 printer has a page counter that you can use to estimate the PM interval. To find the page count, print a test print. The number of printed pages is listed on the test print. · Every 20 months or 50,000 pages, replace the following parts: - 29-29007-01, Separation pad - 29-29005-01, Tray pickup roller assembly Total Call Concept C-1 C.3 Preventive Maintenance Procedure · Every 60 months or 150,000 pages, replace the following parts: - 29-29007-01, Separation pad - 29-29005-01, Tray pickup roller assembly - 29-29014-01, Fixing unit assembly, 115 Vac - 29-29020-01, Fixing unit assembly, 240 Vac - 29-28994-01, Transfer charging roller C.4 TCC Procedure When you perform the TCC procedure you enhance the reliability of the printer and reduce the number of service calls that are required to support the printer. A slight increase in MTTR results in a large increase in MTTF. The customer and you win in the end. Use the historical information from the maintenance log to analyze the reliability of the printer and of a component within the printer. If you are uncertain that a component is worn, broken, or contaminated but suspect that it is, replace it anyway. This preventive action will reduce the number of service calls over the lifetime of the printer. Damaged, worn, or broken printer components cause intermittent problems and accelerate the aging of mechanical components. Pinched or frayed wires can randomly short circuit. Paper dust, dirt, and toner on rollers, bearings, and gears cause premature failures. Replace any rollers that have flat spots, surface glazing or cracking, or dust and toner contamination.
