Removal procedures
Keep the following tips in mind as you replace parts:
• Some removal procedures require removing cable ties. You must replace cable ties during reassembly to
avoid pinching wires, obstructing the paper path, or restricting mechanical movement.
• Remove the toner cartridges, imaging kit, and trays before removing other printer parts. The imaging kit
must be carefully set on a clean, smooth, and flat surface. It should also be protected from light while out
of the device.
• Disconnect all external cables from the printer to prevent possible damage during service.
• Unless otherwise stated, reinstall the parts in reverse order of removal.
• When reinstalling a part held with several screws, start all screws before the final tightening.
• For printers that have a soft power switch, make sure to unplug the power cord after powering off.

Theory of operation
Paper path and transport components
For an image to be printed, the paper or specialty media has to move from an input source (such as a tray) into
the printer and eventually exit into an output source.
The most important component in this process is the paper itself. Old, damaged, or out-of-specification paper
can cause feed and transport problems. If you encounter problems, then always check the paper first. In
addition, check the printer and driver settings to see if the paper being used matches the user’s settings.
The printer feed and transport components can fail and cause paper jams or other feed and transport problems.
These components should be examined for damage or wear and replaced if necessary.
Note: The ACM is also known as the paper feed roller assembly.
Theory of operation
481
7529
Transport components
The paper is fed from the tray into the printer by a pick roll and sent to two sets of feed rollers which time the
paper to enter the Electrophotographic Process (EP Process) at just the right moment. The feed rollers push
the paper to the image transfer unit where the image is transferred to the page.
The transfer roller moves the paper to the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to the page. The fuser
rollers push the paper toward the exit bin and past the exit sensor. The exit rollers guide the paper into the
output bin.
Note: If the printer posts a paper jam message but no paper is found, then paper dust or paper particles may
have fallen into one of the sensor eyes. Use a can of compressed air to gently clean the sensor.
Duplexing
Printers with duplex support use a secondary paper path to print on the second side of a sheet of paper. The
duplexing process is summarized as follows:
After the first side of the paper is printed and the trailing edge of the paper clears the fuser exit sensor, the
fuser motor engages to reverse the paper direction and feed it into the duplex unit. The pick motor also reverses.
The pick motor drives the duplex aligner rolls (A), which push the media down to the bottom turnaround in the
paper tray and gate aligner (B).
Note: While the sheet is being transported through the duplex unit, it is the only sheet of paper being
processed by the print engine. A user should not attempt to insert a sheet of paper into the manual paper
feed while a duplex job is being processed. This would cause a paper jam error.
When the trailing edge of the media clears the fuser, the fuser engine rotates forward to prepare the fuser for
the page traveling though the duplex unit.
As the media reaches the gate aligner, a sensor (S1) is triggered, indicating the presence of the leading edge.
When the S1 sensor is triggered, the paper continues to the (S2) sensor. When the S2 signal is detected, the
speed of the pick motor is adjusted to accommodate the speed of the transfer belt, ensuring the proper
registration of the image on the media. The paper travels to the image transfer unit (C), and the second image
is transferred to the reverse side of the media.
Theory of operation
482
7529
Once the image is transferred, the media travels to the fuser (D), the fuser exit rolls (E), and then to the output
bin.
Theory of operation
483
7529
During the printing process, the printer follows the six basic EP process steps to create its output to the page.
1 Charge the photoconductor units.
2 Expose the photoconductor units with the laser.
3 Develop toner on the photoconductor units.
4 First transfer to the transfer module, and second transfer to the paper.
5 Fuse the toner to the paper.
6 Clean/erase the photoconductor units and the transfer module.
In summary, the printer controller board receives print data and the command to print. The controller board
then initiates the print process. The controller board is the command center for the EP process and coordinates
the various motors and signals.
The high-voltage power supply (HVPS) sends charge to various components in the EP process. The laser fires
on the photoconductor units and alters the surface charge relative to the planed image for each photoconductor
unit. Each photoconductor unit rotates past its respective developer roll, and toner is developed on the surface
of each photoconductor unit. The four separate color images are then transferred to the transfer belt on the
transfer module as it passes under the photoconductors. After the image is transferred to the transfer belt, the
photoconductor units are cleaned and recharged.
The transfer belt carries the four-colored image towards the transfer rollers. Paper is picked up from the tray
and carried to the transfer roll where the image is transferred from the transfer belt to the paper. The timing of
the paper pick is determined by the speed of the transfer belt.
The paper is carried to the fuser rollers where heat and pressure are applied to the page to permanently bond
the toner to the page. The fuser rollers push the paper into the output bin. The transfer unit is cleaned and the
process begins again for the next page.
Step 1: Charge
During the charge step, voltage is sent from the HVPS to the charge roller beside each of the four
photoconductor units. In this printer, the charge roll is part of the photoconductor unit in the print cartridges.
The charge roller puts a uniform negative charge over the entire surface of the photoconductor unit to prepare
it for the laser beam.
Service tips
• If the surface of the charge roller is damaged (such as a nick or pit), then the charge on the photoconductor
unit is uneven. A repeating mark appears on the printed page. Check the service manual for the repeating
marks table.
• If the charge roller is severely damaged, then the surface of the photoconductor unit is not properly charged
and heavy amounts of toner are deposited on the photoconductor unit. The printed page becomes saturated
with 100 percent of each color. The imaging kit must be replaced immediately.
Step 2: Expose
During the expose step, the laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of each photoconductor unit and
writes an invisible image, called a latent image or electrostatic image, for each color.
The laser beam discharges only the surface where the beam hits the photoconductor unit. This discharge
creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the photoconductor unit
surface.
Theory of operation
484
7529
Service tips
• The laser beam passes through a glass lens as it exits the laser unit. If this lens gets contaminated with toner
or other debris, then vertical streaking of white/lightness appears on the page. Make sure to clean the lens.
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductor unit with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause
a charge differential on the surface, and toner may not stick properly. The result can be repeating blotches
of voids/light print on a page. The imaging kit may need to be replaced.
• The surface of the photoconductor unit is coated with an organic substance that makes it sensitive to light.
Make sure to cover the photoconductor unit when you are working on the printer. If exposed to light for too
long, then light/dark print quality problems may occur, and the photoconductor unit may need to be replaced.
Step 3: Develop
When the laser exposes the photoconductor unit, the HVPS sends charge to the developer roll. For each color,
the print cartridge engages the photoconductor unit so it is in contact with the surface. Because of the charge
difference between the toner on the developer roller and the electrostatic image created by the laser, the toner
is attracted to areas of the photoconductor unit surface exposed by the laser.
This process is similar to using glue to write on a can and then rolling it over glitter. The glitter sticks to the glue
but does not stick to the rest of the can.
Service tips
• Do not touch the surface of the developer roller with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause a
charge differential on the surface, and toner may not stick properly. The result can be repeating blotches
of voids/light print on a page. The affected developer may need to be replaced.
• If the developer roller is damaged, then it cannot contact the surface of the photoconductor unit properly.
The result can be repeating marks, thin vertical voids, or thin vertical lines of color on the printed page.
Check the surface of the developer for damage.
Service tips
• Do not touch the surface of the transfer belt with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause a charge
differential on the surface, and toner may not stick properly. The result can be repeating blotches of
voids/light print on a page. The transfer belt may need to be replaced.
• Do not use solvents or other cleaners to clean the transfer belt surface. The surface may have scratches or
a charge differential that may produce voids or light blotches on the printed page. The transfer belt may
need to be replaced.
Theory of operation
485
7529
The HVPS sends voltage to the transfer roller to create a positive charge. When the image on the transfer belt
reaches the transfer roller, the negatively charged toner clings to the paper, and the entire image is transferred
from the transfer belt to the paper.
Service tips
• If the transfer roller has nicks, pits, or flat spots on it, then the surface cannot come into contact with the
paper and transfer module. The result can be voids or light spots on the page or repeating voids/light areas.
• If the transfer roller does not engage the transfer module, or does not have voltage coming from the HVPS,
then the toner does not fully transfer from the transfer module; the entire page may be very light or blank.
Any toner that does transfer can be because of contact transfer instead of a charge transfer. Check the
HVPS contacts to the transfer roller.
Step 5: Fuse
When the image has been fully transferred to the paper, the transfer roller helps move the paper into the fuser
area.
The fuser applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the toner particles and bond them permanently to the
paper. The fuser moves the paper to the redrive rolls which move the paper to the output bin.
Service tips
• If the fuser rollers are damaged, then the toner may be pulled off the page or cause paper jams.
• Toner that rubs off a printed page indicate a malfunctioning fuser or an improper paper setting. Always
check the paper type setting before replacing the fuser. A common mistake is to print on heavier media
(such as cardstock) with the paper type set to plain paper.
• When removing paper jams from the fuser, make sure to use the fuser release tabs to relieve the pressure
on the page. In addition, never pull unfused toner through the fuser if possible; try to back the jammed page
out of the fuser in the opposite direction it was travelling.
Step 6: Clean/Erase
Two main cleaning processes take place during the EP process. One process cleans the transfer belt, and the
other cleans the photoconductor units.
Transfer module clean
When the toner image on the transfer belt has been transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates around
and is cleaned by the cleaning blade. The cleaning occurs for every page that is printed.
After the toner is moved to the cleaning blade, the toner is moved to the waste toner area using an auger
system.
Photoconductor clean/erase
After each plane of color has been transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductor units, a cleaning
blade scrapes the remaining toner from the surface of each photoconductor unit.
The photoconductor unit surface is prepared to restart the EP process. This cleaning/erasing cycle happens
after each plane of color is transferred to the transfer belt.

After the sensor (ADF paper present) detects paper in the ADF tray, the pick roller drops and advances the
paper into the ADF.
The paper passes through the feed roller and separator roller. The separator roller minimizes the possibility of
feeding multiple sheets.
The paper then actuates the sensors (pick and deskew). The sensor (pick) detects the leading edge of the paper
and adjusts the pick/feed timings while the sensor (deskew) detects the paper for any skew. The deskew roller
slows down the paper to perform the skew correction.
Note: The motor (pick) runs the pick and feed rollers.
Theory of operation

7529
For duplex scan jobs, the paper actuates the sensor (ADF first scan) and proceeds to the first scan area. Failure
to actuate the sensor results to a paper jam error. The back side of the document is scanned.
The transport rollers continue to advance the paper until it actuates the sensor (ADF second scan) and reaches
the second scan area. For simplex or duplex scan jobs, the front side of the document is scanned on the second
scan area.
The exit roller picks and drops the paper into the ADF bin. The motor (transport) runs the transport, deskew,
and exit rollers.

After the skew correction is completed, the transport roller advances the paper to the scan area. But before
the image acquisition process can start, the paper must actuate the sensor (ADF scan). Failure to actuate the
sensor results in a paper jam. The first side of the document is scanned.
If the scan job is simplex, then exit roller 1 advances the paper until it is picked up and moved by exit roller 2
into the ADF bin. The motor (transport) runs the transport, deskew, and exit rollers.
If the scan job is duplex, then the motor (pick) rotation is reversed such that exit roller 2 pulls the paper back
into the ADF. The paper actuates the sensor (ADF pick), and then moves until it reaches the scan area for the
second time. Like the first pass of the paper, the image acquisition process is repeated for the second side of
the paper. Before the paper exits, it goes back again to the ADF for the third time, but no imaging occurs. This
pass is to turn the paper over to the original side up. On the third pass of the paper, exit roller 2 does not reverse
and the paper passes out of the ADF.

The flatbed scanner has a scanner lamp that is used to illuminate the surface of the document. The reflections
produced are processed to create the scan image.
For flatbed scan jobs, the flatbed scanner moves across the scanner glass area to scan the front side of the
document (facedown). The motor (FB scanner) controls the scanner position. The scanner is detected at its

Color theory
Color theory
What is RGB color?
Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors
observed in nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions and computer
monitors create colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of
red, green, or blue needed to produce a certain color.
Should I use PostScript or PCL emulation? What settings produce the best color?
We recommend the PostScript driver for best color quality. The default settings in the PostScript driver provide
the preferred color quality for the majority of printouts.
Why doesn't the printed color match the color I see on the computer screen?
The color conversion tables used in Auto Color Correction mode generally approximate the colors of a standard
computer monitor. However, because of technology differences that exist between printers and monitors, many
colors can also be affected by monitor variations and lighting conditions.
Theory of operation
492
7529
Notes:
• Manual color correction is not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. It is also not effective in situations in which the software program or the computer
operating system controls the adjustment of colors.
• The color conversion tables—applied to each object when Color Correction is set to Auto—generate
preferred colors for the majority of documents.
To manually apply a different color conversion table:
1 From the home screen, touch Settings > Print > Quality > Advanced Imaging > Color Correction.
2 Select Manual, and then touch Color Correction Content.
3 Select the appropriate color conversion table for the affected object type.
Object type Color conversion tables
RGB Image • Vivid—Produces brighter, more saturated colors and may be applied to all
RGB Text incoming color formats.
RGB Graphics • sRGB Display—Produces an output that approximates the colors shown on a
computer monitor. Black toner usage is optimized for printing photographs.
• Display—True Black—Produces an output that approximates the colors shown on
a computer monitor. Uses only black toner to create all levels of neutral gray.
• sRGB Vivid—Provides an increased color saturation for the sRGB display color
correction. Black toner usage is optimized for printing business graphics.
• Off—No color correction is implemented.
CMYK Image • US CMYK—Applies color correction to approximate the SWOP (Specifications for
CMYK Text Web Offset Publishing) color output.
CMYK Graphics • Euro CMYK—Applies color correction to approximate EuroScale color output.
• Vivid CMYK—Increases the color saturation of the US CMYK color correction
setting.
• Off—No color correction is implemented.
Theory of operation
493
7529
By examining Color Samples sets, a user can identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color.
The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software
program. For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be used
for the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the Color
Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images),
and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the
printer Color Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; and no color
conversion is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or
CMYK combinations. The software program or the computer operating system sometimes may adjust the
RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting printed color
may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
