Theory of Operation The printer uses an electrophotographic imaging system based on LED array technology. Two key components of the printer are the image generation system (IGS) controller and the printer control logic (PCL) board. Image Generation System (IGS) controller: Each printer is equipped with an IGS con- troller, which provides the interface between the host computer, the PCL board, LED printhead, and the disk drives. The controller may be an EIGS or RIGS board. Printer Control Log

6 Activating paper As the image is being developed, a sheet of paper is transported to the photoconductor belt. The PCL board controls this activity. A series of paper pick-up, feed, and timing rollers guide the paper so the developed image is properly registered with the leading edge of the sheet. 7 Transferring the image to the paper Next, the paper contacts the surface of the photoconductor belt. Above the paper and the belt is the transfer corona, which has a high positive charge, and at

Paper Path and Cycle Sequence The IGS board signals the PCL board that a page of data is ready to be printed. When this happens the following sequence takes place. Simplex Printing 1 PCL software downloaded to the PCL board from the disk drive system turns on the main motor. 2 The PCL board engages the paper pick clutch which causes the roller to feed a sheet of paper. 3 The paper is passed to the feed roller where the PCL board has engaged the feed roller clutch. 4 The feed roller passes th

2 The paper upon passing through the “B” roller comes in contact with the duplex sen- sor. (If the paper does not energize this sensor in a given amount of time, an error 060 will occur.) 3 The “C” roller bidirectional motor turns on and passes the paper into the turnaround tray. The paper sensor in the turnaround tray is activated and the paper is center regis- tered. (If the paper does not energize this sensor in a given amount of time after leav- ing the duplex sensor, an error 061 will occ
